Amazon US is selling the black Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) for $359.99, which the page shows as 20 percent off a $449.00 list price. We checked the listing on November 10, 2026. Amazon.com is both the seller and the shipper.
Bose launched this model on September 10, 2025 at $449 and still lists it at $449.00 on Bose.com, so the Amazon price is a real cut from the maker’s price. The headphones are Bose’s top over-ear model, with noise cancelling and spatial audio.
How much do the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones cost at Amazon?
At the time of writing, in US dollars:
- Black (the model in this story): $359.99 at Amazon US
- White Smoke: $369.00 on its own Amazon listing when we checked
- Bose list price: $449.00 on Bose.com
Amazon shows no end date, so the price can change at any time. Each colour is a separate listing, and some colours were priced closer to the list price when we looked. Bose announced the headphones in Black, White Smoke, Driftwood Sand and Midnight Violet, so the colour you pick decides which listing and which price you get.
What is the deal compared with earlier prices?
SoundGuys reported on October 30, 2026 that Amazon had cut the headphones to $369, which it described as $80 off the $449 list price and called a return to the Prime Day price and an all-time low. Today’s $359.99 for the black model is a little lower than that figure. We have not seen an outlet call $359.99 itself a record, so we do not make that claim.
What do the headphones offer?
These are the features Bose lists in its launch announcement:
- Lossless audio over a wired USB-C connection, at 16-bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz from compatible files
- Cinema Mode, which widens the soundstage and makes dialogue clearer
- CustomTune, which adjusts the sound to the shape of the listener’s ears
- Up to 30 hours of play time, 23 with Immersive Audio on and 45 with noise cancelling off
- Charging while in use over USB-C, and a low power standby mode when folded or laid flat
- Automatic start when you put them on, through improved on-head detection
Bose says the update brings a new adaptive noise cancelling algorithm and polished metal yokes. These are the maker’s claims, and we have not tested the headphones.
Prices
The only price we confirmed is for the US Amazon store. Bose set $449 at launch in the United States, and Bose.com still shows $449.00. We did not check Amazon in other countries or other retailers, so readers outside the US should look at their own Amazon store and Bose’s local site before assuming a similar cut.
Who it suits
Frequent flyers and commuters. Bose quotes up to 30 hours of play time and a foldable case, and the noise cancelling is the main reason people buy this line.
People who watch video on the go. Cinema Mode is built for dialogue in films and shows, and Bose says it also helps with podcasts and audiobooks.
Desktop and gaming users. The USB-C lossless mode gives low latency over a cable, which Bose points to for gaming on a desktop or mobile device.
Who should wait. Shoppers who care more about price than the brand may prefer a cheaper pair such as the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless, which also has deals today, and anyone who wants a different colour should compare each listing first.
What is still unknown
Amazon does not say how long the price runs or how much stock it has. We also did not test noise cancelling or battery life ourselves, so those figures come from Bose. Bose does not say here whether it will run its own sale on Bose.com, so the Amazon listing is the only cut we confirmed. Battery life also varies with the modes you use, which is why Bose gives three separate figures.
Before you buy, open the Amazon page for your colour and compare it with Bose.com, then check the price in your cart.
