Is $229 a Good Price for the Bose QuietComfort Headphones?

A 36% discount. Is that the number that matters?

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones list today at $229, 36% off a $359 list price. We’ve tracked this exact ASIN across 6 separate checks since June 25, enough to say whether $229 is the deal it looks like or just today’s number.

The tracked record

What our own price checks on this ASIN show, going back to the first day we logged it:

• First tracked: June 25, 2026, at $179
• Lowest tracked price: $179, recorded June 25 and again July 1
• Current price: $229, unchanged every check since July 21
• Times checked: 6, spanning June 25 to today, August 14
• List price the whole period: $359, unchanged

What the pattern shows

Today’s $229 sits $130 under list, a genuine 36% cut. It isn’t the best price we’ve tracked, though: this exact listing hit $179 twice in late June and early July, $50 cheaper than today. Since July 21 the price has sat at $229 through every check we’ve run, three weeks and counting of the same number. That’s a settled price, not a countdown. Buy today expecting $229 to hold, not drop again on its own schedule.

What $229 buys you

The QuietComfort Headphones are Bose’s over-ear noise-cancelling model with USB-C charging and up to 24 hours of playtime per charge. Reviewers consistently rate the active noise cancelling ahead of cheaper competitors, with the tradeoff being a heavier build than Bose’s own QuietComfort Ultra. At $229 they undercut Sony’s WH-1000X line by roughly $100 while still landing in the same noise-cancelling tier reviewers compare them against.

The catch with any price-history read

Six checks over seven weeks is a real record, but a short one next to years of pricing on an established product. The $179 low traced to a specific stretch in late June and hasn’t repeated since, so there’s no evidence it’s a price this listing revisits on a schedule. Treat $179 as the number to watch for, not the number to expect.

Before you buy

At $229, this listing sits $130 below list and has held for three straight weeks of checks, a real and stable discount. It’s not the $179 this exact listing hit twice between late June and early July. For an alert the next time this ASIN drops to a new low, follow the Telegram channel at t.me/amznhistoricdeals.
