The holiday trip is coming up and that means lots of kids, crowds, and nosy neighbors to contend with. Luckily, Black Friday arrives early and with it, comes sales on a bunch of tech products that can make your travels more enjoyable.
Take the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, which are 17 percent off in the early Black Friday sale. Our pick of the best noise-canceling earbuds for 2025 is currently available for $249, down from $299. This deal brings these new Bose earbuds in all colors to a record-low price.

We gave the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds an 88 rating in our review when they launched in the early fall. We called them the best option for “blocking out distractions” and said that “Bose’s changes make its best earbuds even better.” The earbuds have enhanced call quality and further improved ANC filters compared to their predecessors. They also offer better comfort and a new guard designed to prevent wax build-up – something all earbud users know is very important.
However, the new model offers six hours of battery life per charge – four when using immersive audio – the same as the original. Also, despite the improved comfort, they still have a bulky design which may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Plus, the original Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth earbuds are also at their lowest price ever. You can buy them for $199, down from $299 – a 33 percent discount. It is worth noting that this deal is available only in White Smoke model. We also gave these earbuds the number 88 when they launch in 2023, so they’re still a great option for $50 less than the second-generation model.
