The Bose QuietComfort headphones are not only comfortable to wear, but they sound great, too. They may not have the depth or extensive sound customisation features typical of more premium headphones, but they will satisfy most audiophiles out there. Plus, they come with a handy travel case. An absolute gem for just $199.
That said, these headphones are best suited for chilling to your favorite tunes, and may not be the best option for fitness lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. If you like to play sports or train in the gym while listening to music, consider getting the Bose QuietComfort earbuds instead. While they are not durable or functional enough to be considered one of the best running headphones, they are better equipped to survive vigorous exercise. They are on sale, too: the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are now 28% off at Amazon, slashing their price by $50.

Reviews consensus: Colorful, well-designed and ultra-comfortable to wear, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are an excellent way to relax with music. Reviewers scored them particularly high in terms of sound quality, noise cancellation and fit, and many also appreciated their reliable touch controls and useful app features. On the downside, most testers complained about the impractical, chunky case, and a handful of users also reported issues with voice control and app connectivity.
