The spring offers are over. But that doesn’t stop Amazon from turning heads with good deals. At the moment, for example, the 4K TV LG OLED G2 is still available at a significant discount from the shipping giant. If you want to be pampered not only visually but also acoustically, you can save a lot of money with the following offer.
In the current deal, Amazon has reduced the Bose QuietComfort SE by 31 percent or almost 90 euros from the suggested retail price. So you only pay 199 euros for the powerful over-ear headphones.
Bose QuietComfort: top-class sound and noise reduction
Incidentally, the Bose QuietComfort SE is identical in construction to the Bose QuietComfort 45. The only difference: the SE version comes in a soft protective case, the 45 in a hard case for maximum protection during transport. But the QuietComfort 45 at Amazon is also $40 more expensive than the SE and currently costs $239.
So in both cases you get the same thing high-quality headphones with typical Bose sound. It presents itself as warm and mellow with a decent bass, which isn’t as dominant as previous Bose products.
The QuietComfort’s active noise-cancelling (ANC) is also very good. The headphones even reliably filter voices in the background, so that you can always work undisturbed or enjoy films and series. However, the setting options via the app are limited and the noise canceling cannot be switched off either.
After all, there is a transparency mode that allows you to let voices through. In addition, with the QuietComfort SE, Bose placed great importance on the microphones, which generate a strong voice quality when making calls or video conferencing. And when it comes to the build quality, Bose has again made a big impression, as the headphones not only look high-quality, but also feel great thanks to the improved ear cushions and headband. The battery also lasts no less than 24 hours.
Bose Headphones 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4 as alternatives to the QuietComfort
If you appreciate a lot flexible noise reduction and an even more differentiated sound the Bose Headphones 700 is the first alternative to the QuietComfort. Here Bose has reduced the bass even more clearly and therefore also appeals to audiophile users.
In addition, the 700 has more gadgets than the QuietComfort, such as touch controls over the ear cushions. But it is also more expensive. You can choose from ten levels of noise reduction intensity. The battery lasts “only” 20 hours. The Headphones 700 are currently available from Amazon with a 32 percent discount for 269.99 euros.
A perennial favorite among noise canceling headphones is the Sony WH-1000XM4which also offers excellent noise reduction and great sound. Hifi.de sees the Sony headphones and the Bose QuietComfort on the same level in comparison. So here it comes down to taste and price.
The Sony WH-1000XM4 currently costs in the black color variant 274.95 euros at Amazon. Here you save 27 percent or more than 100 euros on the recommended price. However, compared to the QuietComfort SE, you pay almost 75 euros more for the Sony. Whatever you decide, you’ll get top-level sound and really good active noise cancellation.
