In my opinion, if your headphones don’t actively make your commute, your coworkers, or your existential dread disappear, they’re doing it wrong. Enter Bose QuietComfort Ultra, now down to $329 at Amazon — aka a full $100 off the usual $429 price. These are Bose’s top-tier headphones, and with this kind of discount, they’re practically daring you not to upgrade.

I tried to be chill about this price drop. I really did. But these headphones come with Bose Immersive Audio, which is basically spatial audio that doesn’t feel like a gimmick. CustomTune tech calibrates the sound specifically to your ears, which sounds like sci-fi but in reality just means your music slaps even harder.

You get three modes: Quiet, Aware, and Immersion. Immersion Mode pairs full noise cancellation with spatial audio, and let me tell you — it’s like being transported to your own private concert, minus the overpriced drinks and sticky floors. Calls sound crystal clear too, thanks to a mic that focuses on your voice and filters out background chaos.

• Price:$329 $429

• Retailer:Amazon

• Color:Black (also available in Lunar Blue, White Smoke, and more)

• Noise Cancellation:Quiet Mode, Aware Mode, and Immersion Mode with Bose Immersive Audio

Comfort? Ridiculous. These things are plush, evenly balanced, and look way more expensive than they actually are right now. The 24-hour battery life (or 18 if you keep Immersive Audio on) means you’ll probably pass out before they do. And if you’re in a rush, a 15-minute charge gets you 2.5 hours of playtime.
