Prime Day: Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 price slashed by $80
beats solo pro bose quietcomfort 35 ii 700 noise canceling headphone deals best buy spring sale cancelling headphones 3 2 720

If you live in the city, you know how loud things can get, and having a good pair of noise-canceling headphones is important. Luckily, there are a lot of great Prime Day headphone deals to take advantage of, including this one on the Bose Noice Cancelling Headphones 700. You can grab them from Amazon for $299, rather than the usual $379 they go for, which is a substantial $80 discount for one of the best headphones you can grab for less than $300.

Why you should buy the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
The Bose Noice Canceling Headphone 700 are a set of headphones that we regularly recommend for their Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) capabilities. If you're familiar with previous headphones from Bose, such as the QC 35 II, then you might be surprised that the ANC is slightly different on the Bose NC 700, with more static high-frequency sounds being canceled out than before. This makes it great for situations where you have a lot of high-pitched noise, such as with construction work or air travel, where the high-pitched engine whine can be tiring. Similarly, the NC 700 has departed from the typical design of the headphones that had a swivel, and the band is instead affixed to the cups, which means much less give, although it's not a big issue.
