If you’ve read headphone or earbud reviews from ZDNET over the past few years, you’ll know how much we love Bose audio products. There are a few reasons: they offer great sound, great noise cancellation, and are easy to wear all day. And with each upgrade, Bose delivers meaningful updates to its headphones and earbuds.

If you don’t want to buy Bose’s latest in-ear headphones but still want to enjoy the brand’s benefits, try an older model — like these Bose QuietComfort II Headphones happens to be on sale for less than $100 — definitely works. The earbuds usually sell for $279, but you can find them for $179 at Amazon right now. Cheaper than the price of our favorite products Apple AirPods Pro 2 headphonesretails for $250.

The QuietComfort II, released in 2022, aren’t much different from the new QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, released in 2023. You won’t get the same Immersive Sound as the Ultra earbuds, but you do get the same six-hour battery life, Bluetooth 5.3, and responsive touch controls. I regularly use the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds with Immersive Sound turned off, so if you’re looking to save money by giving up a cool but unnecessary feature, I’d definitely recommend getting the QuietComfort II instead of the QuietComfort Ultra.

The sound quality is impressive, according to Christina Darby, who wrote a review of the QuietComfort II headphones in 2022. “The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are the best I’ve ever heard. So much so that after receiving them, I forced everyone we interacted to put the earbuds in, listen to ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weeknd, and enjoy the clarity and rumble of the opening synthesizer,” Darby wrote. Plus, the noise canceling is next-level, minimizing any harsh sounds around you.
