Best Bose QuietComfort headphones deal: Better than Black Friday price by $20

SAVE $180: Amazon and Best Buy have the Bose QuietComfort headphones on sale for just $179 as of Dec. 10. That's half off their $359 list price and $20 better than their Black Friday deal.

The Mashable Shopping team has spilled a lot of ink about our love for Bose headphones. Every single model in the brand's lineup has sounded fantastic and fit comfortably on different head shapes in our testing, so you can't go wrong with any pair. Are they pricier than other decent headphones we've tried? Yes, but they're also quite easy to find on sale (and worth the hassle of doing so).

Blessedly, I just found some Bose cans marked down to well under $200. The standard QuietComforts are now sale for just $179 at Amazon and Best Buy (normally $359). That's not their lowest price ever — they were $159.99 on Cyber Monday — but it's $20 better than their $199 Black Friday deal for a full 50% off.

This deal applies to three colorways at both retailers: sandstone, limited-edition moonlight gray, and limited-edition petal pink. The other variants are still stuck at $199.

The Bose QCs are our runner-up pick for those who don't want to splurge on the $450 flagship Bose QC Ultras, which have added spatial audio support. "The average person will be more than satisfied with the [Bose QC] headphones' full, rounded sound," said shopping reporter Samantha Mangino, our reviewer. "Plus, they're great for the student who needs noise cancellation ... and a long battery life to survive endless study sessions." They're rated for 24 hours of use per charge.
