I had tried bone conduction headphone tech in the past, and I was not a massive fan of those products. But this new take on air-conduction headphones left me pleasantly surprised.

Reg. $299 $249

While we are still tracking a solid $199 refurb offer directly from Bose, Amazon is now offering the complete collection of the latest model Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II down at $249 shipped. Regularly $299, this is a solid $50 price drop, matching the third-party offering we saw during Prime Day, and the lowest total we can find.

This set launched last September to take on Apple’s latest flagship AirPods Pro 2 with Bose’s world-class noise cancellation in tow. They also deliver a more compact form-factor this time around, effectively updating the brand’s popular previous-generation set while maintaining what made them such a compelling AirPods contender in the first place. The 6-hours of battery life before you factor in the included charging case (“quick-charge option provides up to 2 hours of battery life from a 20-minute charge”) joins the single earbud listening feature, touch interface controls, and advanced Bluetooth 5.3 capability – the “earbuds keep track of the last seven paired devices to easily swap between them.” Get a closer look in our launch coverage and head below for more details.

Woot is now offering the best price of the year on the flagship true wireless earbuds from Beats.

Today only, Woot is discounting Apple’s latest AirPods in Grade A refurbished conditions, headlined by the newest AirPods 3 at $109.99. Shipping is free for Prime members, with a $6 delivery fee applying otherwise. Normally fetching $179, today’s offer makes for a rare chance to score Apple’s latest earbuds in any case. They’ve been completely out of stock on Amazon for nearly a month and even when there are units up for sale, you’ll be paying retail instead of today’s $69 off discounted price.

Apple’s latest earbuds just launched back in October and most notably arrive with a redesigned casing that takes a page out of the pro version’s book. While you’re ditching the silicone eartips, AirPods 3 arrive with much of the same Spatial Audio support, as well as added water-resistance for tagging along on runs or workouts. Plus, there’s the nifty new MagSafe charging case that provides 30 hours of listening to complete the package. Includes a 90-day warranty. Head below for more.
