If you missed the flurry of these on SC for 165 as folk were offloading their Pixel offer, Amazon have just reduced them to 169, but who knows for how long.
Price has fluctuated back up to 299 today, so with dynamic pricing be quick if you are interested.
Prices correct at the time of typing.

Price at 169.
Anyone who misses this price, register on camel camel camel for a notification for the next price drop.
The Sony WH1000XM4 also went down to 169 on Amazon. The XM3 are 159 currently.
Camel says they've only been down to 201 https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08C7KG5LPQuote:

Still showing as 169 now for me
Now 163.
Wow, that's a great price, they're 299 in Spain.
https://www.amazon.es/Bose-700-Auric...s%2C183&sr=8-1
Now 160.
A further price drop to 150 but 1-3 weeks delivery.
That's a bit too good to pass up, I'm happy to wait for that price.Quote:

Currently on sale on the Bose website for 190, but if you have a student son/daughter they can sign up to Student Beans for 25 discount. Then most Amex cards have a 15 credit which you can stack, bringing the sale price from 190 to 150.
That is a mental price. How do they compare to the 35ii ones if you have experience?Quote:

I bought mine for air travel, but they are so much more useful than that.Quote:

I have the Bose and am seriously underwhelmed. Wish I had got a pair of Sony wh-1000mx4 like the kids. Next level IMO
My Bose QC45 SE just arrived. Only difference between the SE and much more expensive non-SE is a soft vs hard case. Headphones are exactly the same.
149.95 with 25 student beans discount (courtesy of my student son), 15 Amex rebate (already paid) and a generous summer sale offer from Bose in the first place.
Offer still running if anyone else is interested.
I sold my Bose 700s on SC. Great but if kit, but as they didnt fold down, they where always a bit bulky to carry. Hopefully these solve that problem.

Well I wouldnt be that impressed - he finished Uni around the middle of May and has been out every night since. One of his house mates thought they should do something before they leave for the last time. So theyve all gone up the mountain today.Quote:

This brings a pair of QC45 SEs down to 150 which is a great deal, and the same deal I used to buy mine 6 months ago. Excellent headphones.
The only difference between the QC45 and the SE, is that SE are the same QC45 triple black headphones, but come with a soft rather than hard case.
If interested, let me know and I'll check with my student son for a 25 Bose voucher from student beans. You wil need an Amex card if you want the 15 statement credit. Just 'save' this offer in your list of offers
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e348cb5e35.jpg
Here is a code for 25 off the Bose headphones. Apply it with the 15 Amex credit to get the QC45s for 150.
STU-EYEB-4BB3-YYWH-PKYB
The offer is until the end of the month and my son gets a new 25 discount code every day (I think), so PM me if somebody else snapped up this code.
If you take the code, reply to this message so other dont waste their time.
^ Was just about to post this after receiving an email from HUKD but the post has disappeared.
Great gesture above.
I put the post up on HUKD, as I benefited from the last time it was posted for 150 and bought a couple of pairs (one for me and one for my son) so I thought Id share the love.Quote:

The deal is still very much alive, just that it cant be posted on HUKD.
Code PEOPLEVALUE10 applies a discount but each requires two items. The flight adapter for 2.50 is out of stock but a gift box or lead could be added to order.
Refurbished XM4 ANC earbuds from the Sony store for 79 with one years guarantee.
Seems like a good deal and I bought a black pair.
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/son...bished-4279802
The Sony are sold out now.
Got excited when I saw the thread pop up with the Bose 700 at 169!
Mine came. Indistinguishable from new. Original box, leads, earpieces and instructions.
An absolute steal.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ba3c6a9822.jpg

Thanks for the heads up. Since my post I ordered a pair of Bose QuietComforts (45) for flying, and a pair of the WF-1000XM5 to try instead of my AirPod Pros which refuse to stay in my elephant ears while running.
Still waiting for the latter to arrive, but tried the Bose on the plane today and was very disappointed with the noise cancelling. Perhaps my expectations were too high based on online reviews, but I could still hear the pilot/stewardess while listening to music.
May just return both and go for the above XM4 instead and save a fortune at the same time!
My refurb XM4 earphones arrived today. They weren't fully retail packaged but look completely as new and work really well.
The sound quality and noise cancelling are both better than the Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless earphones I've been using for the past year or so.
Thanks for posting the link.
I have the Sonys - they’re excellent.Quote:

Thats what I understood also. It removes the ongoing ambient noise / drone of an aircraft but allows you to still hear conversation.Quote:

Had a quick play with the WF-1000XM5s yesterday and they are unbelievable. The sound is in a different league to my AirPod Pros. Will see how the NC stacks up on the plane next week.
I took the train to work yesterday, given the risk of cycling on icy roads.
Took my over ear QC45s to keep my ears warm on the walk to/from the station and then had the chance to compare the over ear QC45 vs XM4 on a busy train.
The XM4 sound and ANC is amazing and up there with the QC45s, and maybe better given them being directly in the ear canal.
How they pack that much tech into a tiny space is amazing.
I am definitely a convert from over ear to buds for ANC, at least given the quality of the Sonys.
I would recommend downloading the Bose app and checking for any updates.Quote:

It is also worth checking your Bose were not inadvertently in aware mode or any other mode that may have been set up eg commuting, office etc.
From my understanding, NC cuts out drone like noise but voices and certain higher frequencies can muffled slightly but not cancelled out.
I had the app downloaded (I think you need it as part of set up?), and everything was up to date.
They were definitely in the correct mode too! I could toggle between NC and aware.
Theyve been returned already, very disappointed!
I recently got some Soundcore - Anker Liberty 4 NC, and they are great, the active noise cancellation is fantastic and used them on the train last week and could hear no surrounding noise at all, you can control the level of ANC to your liking. The sound is good, deep base and nice and loud. With the app you can tweak the EQ, and it even allows you to change what the touch commands do, which I thought was a neat feature. Battery life is impressive so far. Comfortable as well, I had them in for maybe 6-7 hours the other day with travelling and no issues.
Would highly recommend them. 79 on amazon.
I wear RB New Wayfarer as my daily glasses, tell me about the lack of perfect seal given the thick arms.Quote:
