Finding a good pair of noise-canceling headphones can make all the difference whether you're traveling, working in a noisy environment or just trying to enjoy your music without distractions. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are among our top picks for the best active noise-canceling headphones, and right now, you can snag them at a solid discount. For Amazon's Big Spring Sale, they're down to $349, saving you $80 off the regular $429 price tag. While this price isn't quite as low as the $329 price tag we saw last holiday season, it's still a solid price for this excellent pair. Best Buy is also matching this $80 discount and Walmart also has them for $349, if you want to shop from a different retailer.
This deal includes all of the standard colors along with the new diamond 60th anniversary edition and lunar blue colors. CNET highly recommends the QC Ultra, which holds the top spot in our best wireless headphones roundup, so you can be sure it'll be money well spent. At $349, it's one of the best Amazon Spring Sale headphone deals that's already live ahead of the big sale.
These headphones not only look the part -- they're gorgeous -- but they also have the features to match. Hybrid noise-canceling technology ensures that you hear only what you want to and nothing that you'd rather avoid, while Spatial Audio takes the sounds you're hearing and makes them appear as if they're coming from beyond the headphones themselves. It makes for a more natural sound, especially when listening to compatible music.

Other notable features include multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity so you can use your new headphones with multiple devices as well as get up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. Looking to make calls with your new headphones? No problem. The QuietComfort Ultra headphones have no fewer than 12 microphones for crystal-clear audio, and they do lead to excellent voice calling performance, as we noted in our Bose QuietComfort Ultra review.
