What Happened
According to Mashable, new, open-box Bose QuietComfort Over-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones in Cypress Green are available at a discounted price of $184.99, down from their regular retail price of $359. The sale offer is available through November 8.
The Details and Specifications
The headphones feature an over-ear design combining noise-canceling capabilities with high-fidelity audio. Users can utilize Quiet Mode to eliminate distractions or switch to Aware Mode to hear their surrounding environment without pausing their music. Additionally, users can configure custom noise-canceling levels within the Bose app, and activate Wind Block for windy environments.
Audio performance is supported by an adjustable EQ, allowing listeners to modify bass, mid-range, and treble. The headphones include multipoint Bluetooth connectivity to maintain active connections with two devices simultaneously, alongside a built-in microphone for phone calls and voice assistant access. For physical comfort, the device features plush earcup cushions and a padded headband.
Battery performance provides up to 24 hours of playback with noise-canceling enabled. A quick 15-minute charge delivers up to 2.5 hours of playback. A wired backup option is also included via an audio cable, allowing playback when Bluetooth is not in use or when the battery is depleted, though noise-canceling and EQ functions are disabled in this mode.
Open-Box Product Background
The discounted units are categorized as new, open-box items, which typically represent excess store-shelf inventory or returns from retail stores back to warehouses. According to the product details, these items may feature assorted stickers or packaging showing extra handling, but are verified to remain in new condition, placed in clean packaging, and backed by a one-year warranty.
