There's still a week to go until Prime Day on June 23-26, but I've already spotted fantastic deals at Amazon on some of the latest and best-rated Bose headphones. And while there are a couple of deals that I'd be tempted to add to my basket now, there is one that I'd hold off on until later in the month for the chance at a bigger saving.

Browse all the early Prime Day deals

First, though, let's start with the main offer that caught my eye: it's the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) for $379 (was $449). That's a new record-low price for the manufacturer's latest premium headphones, which we gave an incredible five stars in our review.

Could they go any cheaper during Prime Day? It's possible. However, given that this is the biggest discount yet for the new QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, I suspect that this offer will most likely roll over into the big Amazon sale.

One current Bose deal that I would avoid for now, though, is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds for $249 (was $299). Why? Well, simply because they have been much cheaper at $199.99 during last year's Black Friday sales. I wouldn't be surprised if that price, or something very similar, was made available again during Prime Day.

Today's Bose deals at Amazon

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen): was $449 now $379 at Amazon

This is the new record-low price for the latest Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) at Amazon, so one to consider snapping up even before Prime Day is here. We awarded them the full five stars in our review, thanks to the brilliant noise cancelation, excellent audio quality and extremely comfortable design. We had nothing more to say except that they are the 'best active noise-canceling cans for the money.'

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have all the power and sound quality you’d expect from Bose, while providing the benefits of an open-ear form factor. The immersive audio is excellent and there’s up to seven hours of play time – or up to 48 hours in total of standby time. This is a return to the record-low price for what we think are the "best-sounding open-ear buds yet", according to our Bose Ultra Open Earbuds review.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are some of the manufacturer's best in terms of audio quality and noise cancellation – but I'd consider holding off on buying for now, as they've been $50 cheaper than this in the past. That offer could return during Prime Day later in the month, and that would be the time to buy to get these excellent five-star buds that offer exceptional audio quality, some of the best noise cancelation in the business, and immersive spatial audio.
