Heads up folks, the Apple AirPods aren't the only earbuds worth your attention, especially for non-iOS users. Today, Amazon is offering the Bose QuietComfort II Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds for just $179. This is one of the best noise cancelling buds you can get for $100 less than the original $279 MSRP.

Bose is well-known for its lineup of excellent QuietComfort headphones. These earbuds use the same technology for their noise cancellation, but are packaged in a much smaller and more subtle form factor. In addition to the proprietary Bose noise cancellation technology, these earbuds also include three pairs of eartips and three pairs of stability bands to ensure a solid fit for both comfort and effective passive noise isolation.
The QuietComfort Earbuds II connect via the updated Bluetooth 5.3 spec for faster pairing and a more reliable connection up to 30 feet. The earbuds will remember your last seven connected devices, so it's easy to switch between them. If you need to hear sounds around you, you can just turn on one earbud. There's a handy Bose app for controlling things like noise cancelling level, Bluetooth connection, volume and more, but you can also do this without picking up your phone with a simple swipe on the earbuds. The earbuds will last up to 6 hours on a single charge, but there's a handy charging case included that will give you 2 hours of battery life with just 20 minutes of charging.
The Apple AirPods are great for iPhone users, but for everyone else you sacrifice functionality as well as audio quality (you miss out on things like spatial audio, auto eq, and more). The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II sound just as good, noise cancelling is just as good, and all the features work on Android.
