Bose has long been a leader in noise-cancelling headphones with class-leading technology. Over the last year, my go-to headphones for travel have been the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. While class-leading for ANC, they don’t suit everybody's budget. This is where the non-Ultra QuietComfort headphones hit the mark by offering similar features for €100 less.
