Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a nifty couple of deals on Bose noise-cancelling headphones—provided you’re willing to buy refurbished. Factory-renewed models of the popular Bose QuietComfort 35 II<\/a> and the newer Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700<\/a> are both discounted at Bose.com and Bose’s official eBay storefront, with the former down to $200 and the latter down to $280.<\/p>\n

We generally don’t recommend buying refurbished tech unless the used products come directly from a trusted manufacturer, and fortunately, that’s the case here. Bose itself has inspected and tested the re-sold gear, not a random third-party seller, and the refurbished headphones come with the same one-year limited warranty<\/a> as new models. Bose says its refurbished gear “may occasionally have minor, nearly imperceptible blemishes,” so there is some<\/em> risk involved, but the obvious benefit is that the cost of entry is far lower. A new pair of QuietComfort 35 IIs usually run between $300-350<\/a>, while a new set of Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 range between $350-400<\/a>. Beyond that, this QuietComfort 35 II deal is about $40 cheaper than the typical cost of a refurbished pair<\/a> on Amazon<\/p>\n

Between the two, we’d say the QuietComfort 35 II is the better value here. That’s not to say the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are bad—their metal headband gives them a more premium feel, they have a USB-C port for charging, and their noise-cancelling is not only borderline best-in-class but adjustable on a more granular level through Bose’s companion app. They also have better built-in microphones, which allow for clearer call quality. Still, the QuietComfort 35 II’s active noise-cancellation is just as powerful, its physical playback buttons are more consistent than the 700’s sometimes-finicky touch controls, and its lighter design clamps with less force, which generally makes them more comfortable for longer sessions.<\/p>\n

In terms of sound quality, neither is what we’d call exceptional<\/em>, but both are decidedly solid for the money: the QuietComfort 35 II have a more balanced and pleasant profile, while the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 put a bit more emphasis on bass, which makes them preferable for those who prefer an energetic sound to a neutral one. All told, we still like Sony’s WH-1000XM3<\/a> as the best overall package among noise-cancelling cans, but if either of these Bose pairs better suit your needs, they’re still commendable at these prices.<\/p>\n

If you don’t need a new pair of headphones, though, we also have deals on Google Home and Amazon Echo smart speakers, Google Pixel phones, another drop to $50 for Amazon’s Fire HD 8 tablet, and more. Have a look for yourself below.<\/p>\n
