‘Worth the money’ Bose headphones get £100 price cut

The premium headphones have noise-cancelling, are comfortable to wear and have a long-lasting battery

Bosch has long been known for its array of ever-evolving audio equipment and technology, whether it’s headphones, speakers, sound systems or more. One of the latter’s premium options has just seen a major £100 cut to its price on Amazon in a 35% price slash.

Bose’s QuietComfort SC Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones offer a cushioned, noise-cancelling listening experience to your favourite tunes or games. Providing the perfect escape from a world of distractions, these headphones have been reduced from £289.95 to £189.00.

This major saving has been hailed as being ‘well worth the money’ by satisfied customers, with more than 2,100 reviews earning the product a 4.6 out of 5 rating. “I’ve never spent this amount of money on headphones before, they are fab and well worth the money” said one shopper.

They continued their review by saying they ‘wish they’d bought them sooner’, going on to highlight the quality: “The sound is amazing, and you can set it to your liking using the phone app.

“Very comfortable to use over-ear whilst also wearing my glasses. Folds up nicely into its own bag. The battery lasts a long time, and the headphones charge quickly.”

The QuietComfort SC provide up to 24 hours of battery life, ideal for long journeys or audiobook sessions. Another user said: “Best value for money earphones, and I chose these because of the quality and the price.”

She added to her five-star review: “They were on offer, they are comfortable to wear, and the noise cancelling is amazing. It blocks out background noise, and the battery life is long too. I haven’t had to charge them since I’ve had them, although I haven’t had a chance to wear them as often as I like.”

Other options, such as the Sony ULT WEAR over-ear wireless noise-cancelling headphones, can offer an extended battery life at a lesser price. The pair feature Alexa & Google Assistant.

With a 30 hours of battery life they are now on sale for £99, so £90 less than the Bose QuietComfort pair. Bose’s device boasts 2,118 reviews in total, including a three-star-rated analysis which praised the sound quality.

However, some users noted issues over time with the frame. As one person said: “I bought these as a Xmas present for someone. He was very happy with the sound quality and especially the noise-cancelling.

“However, three-and-a-half months later, the covering on the right earpad has come apart at the seams. The material is not leather. While this is comfortable and these headphones can be worn for a long time, there is a slight ‘ear sweating’ issue.

“Also, the material is made out of two parts, and not stitched together, but either glued or heat-sealed. Plastic doesn’t ‘breathe’ like leather, so there are holes cut into the back of the pads. These holes are again an obvious point of weakness in the design.”
