"The QuietComfort headphones have microphones around each earcup that constantly pick up sounds from the outside world and they make sound waves that are opposite to the noise that is coming in, which cancels it out before it gets to your ears. This active noise cancellation works over a wide range of frequencies and gets rid of everything from the low rumble of airplane engines to the mid-frequency chatter of people talking in an office."
"The system changes in real time as your acoustic environment changes and for example, it automatically lowers the cancellation strength when you move from a quiet room to a busy street. The plush over-ear cushions block out noise passively by making a physical seal around your ears. This works with active cancellation to make the silence even deeper than either method alone."
Amazon maintained steady pricing on select flagship products after Cyber Monday, and the Bose QuietComfort headphones are discounted to $199 from the regular $349, marking their lowest price yet. The headphones use microphones around each earcup to capture external sounds and generate inverse sound waves that cancel incoming noise across a wide frequency range. The system adapts in real time, reducing cancellation strength when moving to noisier environments. Plush over-ear cushions provide passive isolation that complements active noise cancellation. Quiet Mode offers maximum isolation for focus or sleep, while Aware Mode mixes outside sounds for safety and conversation without removing headphones. High-fidelity drivers deliver clear sound across the frequency range.
