Friday sale

The Bose QuietComfort headphones (the non-Ultra variety) are on sale. Best
Buy's early Black Friday sale has the comfy cans for 45 percent off, knocking
their price down to $199. That matches their record low from Prime Day.

Bose's headphones have top-notch comfort and active noise cancellation (ANC).
For the latter, you can choose between "Quiet" (full ANC) and "Aware" (hear
your surroundings) modes. There's also a wind-blocking feature. The
headphones' audio, while not quite on par with the $449 Ultra variant (and
missing spatial tricks), far surpasses what you'll typically find for $199.

The company estimates 24 hours of battery life. It also supports quick
charging: Plug in its USB-C cable and get up to 2.5 hours of charge in only
15 minutes.

This model doesn't include an option to turn off ANC altogether, which some
people may have appreciated. (That would have led to even more battery life,
desirable for frequent travelers.) But if you're like me and always listen in
ANC or aware modes, this is as solid a pick as you'll find for the sale
price.

Best Buy has a bunch of other headphones on sale for Black Friday. Of note
are the Bose Ultra open-ear buds for $100 off, and the Beats Studio Pro for
$150 off.
