Black Friday Bose deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday Bose deals start in 2024?
With the sales starting earlier and earlier every year we'll likely see the first Black Friday Bose deals in early November. In fact, some sales are already live now and there are several Bose products on offer at record-low prices so you could say the deals are already here.
These are just an early taste, though, will a larger number of offers guaranteed to go live at more retailers and in more regions over the coming weeks. Check back on this page regularly as we share all the latest deals on Bose headphones, earbuds, speakers, soundbar and more in the weeks ahead.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy Bose products?
Absolutely. If past events are anything to go by the Black Friday is when we see some of the lowest prices of the year for Bose products. The manufacturer definitely looks to capitalise on the sales and key gifting period by discounting the majority of its popular and highly-rated headphones, earbuds and soundbars.
What Black Friday Bose deals do I want to see in 2024?
I'm particularly on the lookout for offers on the Bose QuietComfort Headphones and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds this Black Friday. I've personally used Bose headphones for the last eight years and my first pair lasted a good six years of that period so these are high-quality cans that are built to last. We currently rate the Ultra models highly for their audio performance and noise-cancelation, so any reductions of $100 / £100 or more will catapult them into this deals roundup.
As well as that, there should be so solid reductions across the full lineup of Bose speakers and soundbars. Whether it's an option for your home or a portable speaker to take on the move then you should have some options this Black Friday. And if you're planning to buy a new TV, a Bose soundbar could be an ideal pairing. I'm hoping for big discounts on the Bose Smart and Bose Ultra soundbars of around $200 / £150.

Last year's best Black Friday Bose deals in the US
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was $279 now $199 at Amazon
If you want the best noise-blocking power you can get for the price, these deliver it. They also sound superb, and have a ton of useful smart features. But the headline is the noise cancellation, and you can't get better for under $200. Actually, you basically can't get better, period. Oh, and this is the cheapest they've ever been – we'd be surprised if they go any lower after Cyber Monday.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $249 at Amazon
These were only released a couple of months ago, but are already $100 off, making them strong value – especially if what you want is the best noise cancellation you can get for this price. They're also very comfortable, and the Bose app makes it easy to customize their sound and features.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: was $429 now $379 at Amazon
These headphones sound just incredible, delivering Bose's best-ever detail, balance and expansiveness – and they have the strongly noise cancellation we've ever heard too. They also deliver other features, such as spatial audio, app customization, multi-point connectivity and more. They're expensive, but they're worth it – and they were only released in October, so any discount this soon is nice.
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700: was $379 now $279 at Best Buy
They're not new, but they're still great – several members of the TechRadar team use and love these headphones here in 2023. You've got great Bose sound quality, highly adjustable ANC options, and a comfortable fit. This discounted price is also close to the lowest we've ever seen them drop to.
Bose Smart Soundbar 900: was $749 now $699.99 at Best Buy
Bose's original big Dolby Atmos soundbar rival to the Sonos Arc has now been replaced by the Smart Soundbar Ultra, which means that this model from September 2021 has dropped in price dramatically. This isn't the cheapest it's ever been – it was down by a further $100 during Cyber Monday – but if you want to upgrade your TV's sound to a 5.0.2 setup then this is still a $50 saving.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600: was $499 now $399 at Amazon
We highly rated this soundbar in our review, giving it four and a half stars for its ability to deliver impactful, rich Dolby Atmos sound from a compact box. This discounted price is as low as we've ever seen it, and it's a superb saving for an affordable soundbar with real upfiring drivers that doesn't take over your living room.
Bose SoundLink Flex: was $149 now $119 at Amazon
The Bose SoundLink Flex was already a great value Bluetooth speaker when we first tested it. With 12 hours of battery life, a rugged yet light build and big room-filling sound, we thought it was worth four stars then but now that it's down to its lowest ever price, we think this is a great post-Cyber Monday deal to take advantage of.

Bose SoundLink Flex: was £149 now £119 at Currys
When we first reviewed the Bose SoundLink Flex, we said that it was "relatively affordable" but now that it has hit its lowest ever price, it's even more of a bargain Bluetooth speaker. You're getting a reasonable 12 hours of battery life, extreme portability with its compact lightness and big sound with great rhythms and tempos. All in all, the SoundLink Flex has got a lot going for it, especially with this £30 saving, which brings it down to its lowest ever price.
Bose SoundLink Plus II: was £299.95 now £239 at Amazon
We haven't reviewed this Bluetooth speaker ourselves, but we did rate the first generation of the SoundLink Revolve four stars and gave the larger version of it, the SoundLink Revolve+, four stars too. While the SoundLink Revolve II has a shorter battery life of 13 hours compared to the Revolve+ II's 17 hours, this alongside a carry handle are the only differences between the two, which means you're getting slightly more bang for your buck with this version.
Bose Soundbar 500: was £549 now £365.44 at Amazon
This doesn't have Dolby Atmos support, but if you just want a soundbar that's great with both movies and music and you don't need the fancy new tech, it'll serve you very well – especially at this price. This model dropped to a record-low price of £299 earlier in 2023, so it's not the best saving. Though it still marks £183 off, which is a great deal.
Bose QuietComfort 45 SE: was £249 now £189.95 at Currys
These headphones are effectively identical to the standard Bose QuietComfort 45 model, which we rated highly after testing, but they come with a soft case instead of a hard case. The slightly more premium accessory makes them very good headphones, especially for this price, though this 'SE' version has been £10 cheaper in the past, so you may want to consider another model. (The cheapest that the regular QC45 headphones have ever been is £189.)
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was £279 now £199 at Amazon
If you want the best noise-blocking power you can get for the price, these deliver it. They also sound superb, and have a ton of useful smart features. But the headline is the noise cancellation, and you can't get better for under £200. Actually, you basically can't get better from earbuds, period. Oh, and this is the cheapest they've ever been – we'd be surprised if they go any lower into December.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600: was £499 now £399 at Argos
We highly rated this soundbar in our review, giving it four and a half stars for its ability to deliver impactful, rich Dolby Atmos sound from a compact box. This discounted price is as low as we've ever seen it, and it's a superb saving for an affordable soundbar with real upfiring drivers that doesn't take over your living room.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: was £449.95 now £399 at Amazon
These headphones offer simply fantastic sound, cramming in more detail, dynamic range and energy than we've ever heard from Bose, along with the company's best-ever noise cancellation. They're high-priced, but they feel and sound premium, and come with great extra features, including spatial audio. They only came out in October, so while this isn't a huge discount, any price cut is good!
Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was £349.95 now £279 at Amazon
These just came out, so a more than £70 drop is nice if you're excited to pick them up! We have them in for testing now, and will give you our full verdict later, but we can tell you right now that the noise cancellation is very impressive, as you'd hope for from Bose, which has been known to offer the best in class for ANC.
