You can therefore imagine our surprise at opening Walmart’s website earlier today and noticing that the over-ear Bose QuietComfort Ultra are priced at only $269.44 in a black colorway. The “white smoke” flavor still costs $429, mind you, which only goes to further highlight the amazing appeal of that shockingly early $159.56 markdown.
And when talking so little money, it simply becomes impossible to resist purchasing these bad boys for yourself or a loved one ahead of the upcoming holidays. Just don’t expect Walmart’s insane (and somewhat random) promotion to last very long.
After all, the aforementioned noise-cancelling Bose 700s, which were originally priced at $399 a pair, took around two years (!!!) to drop below the $300 mark, only recently slipping to $269 and then $259. So, yeah, this is clearly a highly unusual discount for a hot new spatial audio-equipped beast with up to 24 hours of battery life, state-of-the-art CustomTune technology for personalized sound, and of course, Bose’s typical “world-class” noise cancellation promise, which almost always proves accurate in real-life environments and use cases.
