These Bose buds have 'impeccable sound quality' — and, lucky you, they're on sale

We live in a noisy world. Whether it's the sound of cars passing by, the din of coworkers' conversation or the soft thump of bass through the wall courtesy of the TV in the other room, silence is a precious commodity. Sometimes, it's a necessity. For those times when you need to concentrate or tune out, Bose has the answer: QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds. And guess what? They're on sale! These comfy, powerful buds provide high-end audio while blocking out all external sound so you can focus on what's important: the music (or your thoughts).

Bose specializes in high-quality audio, and these earbuds are no exception. They deliver superb audio quality while also blocking out extraneous noise (like that baby crying three rows away on the plane). They come with ear tips in three different sizes, so every listener can find the ideal fit.

The on-bud controls make it simple to adjust your audio without reaching for your phone. You can pause, play, and control the volume and noise-cancellation settings straight from the earbud. There's even a feature called Automatic EQ that adjusts the volume and sound settings in real time to deliver the optimum audio quality no matter what you're listening to, whether that's music, podcasts or even watching a movie.

Although these are not waterproof, they are water-resistant, so a little bit of rain won't cause you any distress.

Bose QuietComfort earbuds hold six hours of charge per bud. The charging case provides an additional 12 hours — more than enough to keep the noisy world at bay until you can recharge.

"Bose quality. I use them on a daily basis for conference calls and listening to podcasts at my desk. The three levels of noise cancelling are a nice feature and were a sanity saver on a 14-hour nonstop transatlantic flight. The three sizes of pads are nice as well; I would imagine they’d fit most people," said one frequent traveler.

Another user agreed: "They are comfortable and the sound quality is impeccable. All music becomes easy listening with fantastic noise cancellation. I'm at my own little concert. I would recommend these to anyone looking to purchase wireless earbuds."
