The Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) headphones are $160 off for the first time ever

Save 45%: As of Nov. 2, grab the Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) headphones for just $199 at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. This $160 price dip marks a new record low for the headphones, which usually go for $359.

Going into my sixth year covering Black Friday at Mashable, I knew early headphones deals could be great during the holiday shopping season. I did not expect one of my favorite headphones launches of the year to get a nearly 50% discount over three weeks before the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Here's the situation: the second generation Bose QuietComfort headphones dropped in August as the brand's latest mid-range release (and a pretty impressive one, at that). These headphones saw a modest $40 markdown during October Prime Day, but Black Friday can be a popular time for brands to pull out the first major discount of a product's lifespan. That said, it's pretty unusual for a 45% markdown, which is exactly what the Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) headphones received at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy.

To put this into context, these headphones are now $50 cheaper than the sale price of the other major new mid-range headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM4C . This is especially notable as the Sony headphones at full price are $60 cheaper than the Bose headphones at full price, which was a significant part of the reason I found the Sonys to have an edge over the Boses in my head to head testing of the two headphones .
