Sony WH-1000XM5 is the best overall wireless noise-canceling value at $278, with Bose and Beats options across flagship, mid-range, and budget tiers.
Amazon is offering the first-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones for $279, down from $429. Since coming out last April, they've become our choice for best noise-canceling wireless headphones. Notably, the sale is only available in the headphone's nice limited edition Deep Plum model. We gave the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones an 86 in our review, thanks, in part, to their incredible active-noise cancellation (ANC) an industry-lead Bose has held for years.
If you value peace and quiet, particularly when traveling, Bose's first-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are worth checking out. They're our favorite noise-canceling headphones for travel, and right now, you can snag a pair for an all-time low of $279 ($150 off) in select colors from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. All three retailers estimate that shipments should arrive before Christmas, with Bose saying its cutoff for free two-day shipping is December 22nd at 12PM ET.
