If you ask someone what noise canceling headphones are, generally, you’ll get “Bose” as the answer. The Bose QuietComfort 35 (or QC35s as most refer to them as) are one of the most well-known pairs of noise-canceling headphones in the business. Recently, Bose launched the QC35 II’s with built-in Google Assistant.
Well, today Bose released an update to its Bose Connect app that allows you to change your digital helper from Google’s Assistant to Amazon’s Alexa.
(Update 6/21 3:00pm): The new Bose sleepbuds are now available for purchase at Amazon and Best Buy for $249.99. Amazon’s listing is going in and out of stock by the looks of it, but they are available at Best Buy and direct from Bose.
Bose took to crowdfunding site Indiegogo late last year in a somewhat odd move for the iconic audio company. It was looking for testers on a new set of Noise-Masking Sleepbuds designed to help you, as the name suggests, get a better night’s rest. In fact, the company ended up selling about 3,000 pairs of prototypes to a lucky few, but now it looks like the Noise-Making Sleepbuds are going prime time.
Amazon is discounting several Bose speakers and headphones for the holidays. Special prices are also available via Bose.com.
Our favorite deal from the bunch is the Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker for $99 with free shipping. That’s $30 below its regular price and the lowest we’ve seen. Current generation Bose products rarely receive substantial discounts so saving 23% on this speaker is a real score. As its name would imply, this speaker is available in a range of hues, including Black, Blue, Red, White, and Mint. Features include a wireless range of up to 30-ft, compact design, and voice prompts to “make pairing your devices easier than ever.” This best-selling speaker is currently rated 4.7 out of 5 stars from 3,199 Amazon reviewers.
Update (12/22 4:00pm): BuyDig has the QuietComfort 25 Headphones in Black for $249 shipped.
Amazon also has the Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones for $269 with free shipping. That’s only 10% off, but it’s notable since this is the first price drop of any kind we’ve seen on these cans. Features include an inline mic/remote (support for iOS/Android devices), around-ear fit, and noise-canceling technology. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars from 1,937 Amazon reviewers.
Amazon offers the JayBird BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Sweat Proof Headphones in Storm White for $89.99 with free shipping. That’s $40 better than its street price and the best deal we’ve seen by $20.

With Bluetooth connectivity, the JayBird BlueBuds X Sport Headphones make a great addition to your Apple Watch or iPhone.

Amazon offers the Bose SoundLink Mini for $159 with free shipping, which is $41 below its original price and amongst the lowest deals we’ve seen that doesn’t require rebates or unique coupon codes. Best Buy and B&H have also dropped their prices. There’s no doubt this deal was brought forward due to the SoundLink Mini II being released over the summer (review here). But the original SoundLink Mini remains one of our all-time favorite portable Bluetooth speakers, so you’re still getting a solid performer with this deal. It includes a charging cradle and AUX port, but sound quality (especially bass) is this speaker’s best feature. More than 6,200 Amazon reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 stars.

Today, Bose announced a series of new audio products and software enhancements to its SoundTouch Wi-Fi music line. Not only are we getting hardware in the form of new one-piece and home theater/stereo systems, but also enhanced app and music service support.
The previously European-only Deezer music service made its way to the Sonos platform last month, and now it will be joining Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Pandora on Bose systems. The Bose mobile app updates come in the way of simplified mobile set-ups, enhanced song search and customizable frequency control among other things.

Today, Bose unveiled the SoundLink Color for only $129.95, making it the least expensive portable Bluetooth speaker ever from Bose.
It weighs just 1.25 pounds, and measures 5” wide, 2.1” deep and 5.3” high to fit easily into a handbag, knapsack or the palm of your hand. Bose combined exclusive dual-opposing passive radiators with two high-efficiency transducers for full-range sound, including deep, low-note performance. With its size and performance, the SoundLink Color speaker is a small wonder, making out-loud listening undeniably portable, powerful and fun.
Bose also introduced the SoundLink On-Ear for $249.95. It’s the first on-ear Bluetooth headphone from the company.
The SoundLink on-ear Bluetooth headphones deliver all the audio performance of a Bose wired headphone. Bose Active Equalization and TriPort technology combine for smoother, more balanced sound. Mid-high frequencies are natural, and low-frequencies are detailed and full. Yet, there are no cords or cables, so you can take calls, or enjoy a video, movie or music freely.The headphones let you hear and be heard, wherever you are. A new two-microphone system rejects distractions like wind, so callers can hear what you’re saying more, and the sounds around you less.
The Soundlink Headphones are on sale today and the speaker begins shipping September 25th.
