We were blown away by the active noise cancellation performance of Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, naming them the best choice in our ANC earbuds guide. Right now, you can get the earbuds at the lowest price ever at Amazon thanks to its October Prime Day (aka Amazon Prime Deal Days) sale. Remember, if you don’t have an active Amazon Prime subscription, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds $229.99 (Was $299)

The QuietComfort Ultras blocked out more sound in our tests than any other earbuds, greatly reducing or completely eliminating noises like cars on the street and a train on its tracks. Commuters and frequent travelers will especially enjoy this level of noise cancellation performance, though office workers annoyed by chatty coworkers or the sound of typing on keyboards will, too. Especially loud noises—think honking cars right next to you—can still pierce through the QuietComfort Ultra noise-cancellation bubble, but it takes a lot.
