Bose is the first name in sound. When you see that familiar logo, you know you’re going to hear something spectacular. Not surprisingly, it’s also the type of brand that rarely goes on sale — it doesn’t need to. Folks are willing to pay a premium for excellent audio.
So it’s something like a Memorial Day miracle that Bose and retailers like Amazon and QVC have slashed prices on new gear like its Bluetooth speakers (great for your beach setup) and its epically popular noise-canceling headphones. Get yourself something to make remote work easier, music more danceable and great audio more portable. Please don’t delay, though. You need to scoop up these treasures fast; at these prices, they’re sure to sell out.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
If you’re in the market for new earbuds, this is a major price drop for Bose QuietComfort Earbuds which are just as good as (if not better than) Apple AirPods. They feature active noise-canceling (ANC), wireless charging case, transparency mode (for when you want to let outside sounds in), touch controls and a sweat-proof design. And, in addition to silicone eartips that create a seal to help diminish outside noise, you get little “wings” that help the earbuds stay in your ears. Bose supplies three different sizes to help you achieve the best fit. On top of the deep discount, customers are blown away by the quality of these earbuds.
“Sometimes my husband will want to listen to music, and I would rather watch a video on my iPad,” one satisfied shopper reported. “These babies do the trick. Added bonus is they block the sound of my little Morkie barking. That is serious noise blocking”
Bose QuietComfort 45 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
The Bose QuietComfort 45 is one of the more popular Bluetooth headsets available and right now, you can get them at a $50 discount at Amazon. Like the name suggests, they’re noise-cancelling headphones and it offers two modes for that: Quiet mode for full noise cancelling, or Aware mode so you can hear just enough of the outside noise that you know what’s happening around you while letting you enjoy music at the same time. It also features an insane 24 hours of battery life, but if you run low, you can get three hours of battery life with only a 15-minute charge.
One wife found them great for keeping a happy household: “I purchased these headphones for my husband so he could watch movies after I go to bed without disturbing the rest of the house. He loves the sound quality, the ability to add or remove devices at will and the fact he is not ‘tethered’ to the sound system by a cord. Worth the price!”
Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speakers
Memorial Day ushers in summer (unofficially) and all that comes with it. Here’s to lots of outdoor adventures this season. You can take your tunes to go with a Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker, which is only about the size of a water bottle but provides epic sound. “It’s like being at the movies,” one Bose customer gushed. “The quality of sound is unbelievable.” This deal gets you a pair for $253, down from $298 at Bose.
These tough speakers can survive any escapade, wet or dry. They’re designed to be bumped, dropped and dunked, so bring them poolside and feel free to make a splash. Thanks to Bluetooth and NFC connectivity, you can simply tap your smartphone for instant pairing.
This customer attests to the audio quality: “I bought 2 of these speakers and play them simultaneously using party mode or stereo mode,” he says. “They are small but the sound is incredibly clear and loud. They fell into the pool and they still work perfectly.”
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 UC
You might be familiar with iconic QuietComfort Bose headphones, but the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 UC deserve some attention, too — especially at a $20 discount. Whether you want to escape into your music undisturbed or you want to block out chatter on work calls, you can’t beat the noise-cancelling capacity of these headphones. They have six microphones so you can hear and be heard better — and drown out noise around you.
“Between my apartment, car and office, I probably have a dozen different headset s/earbuds,” one reviewer shared. ” I have every brand and price range of headsets and these are by far the best. Great sound, extremely comfortable and durable. I love that you can connect to multiple devices and use these for everything, including zoom calls. Couldn’t be happier.”
Bose Frames Soprano
Sleek and discreet, these musical shades are the follow-up to Bose’s original sunglasses that use OpenAudio technology to bring you wireless sound. You can listen unencumbered by earbuds for up to 5.5 hours without recharging — that’s a lot of tanning time! With these anti-glare polarized lenses, you’ll have it made in the shade, literally. They’re scratch and shatter resistant, of course. Start your summer right with an accessory that will get you out of the house and into the sunshine — and save you $50.
“Amazing!” a happy customer shared. “No one has any idea you are listening to music and when you walk nothing is falling out of your ears constantly! Also perfect for the beach or a pool area to keep you calm and entertained whether it’s a pod cast or music or a phone call. The sound is perfect!!!”
