I review audio gear for a living — best Bose Prime Day deals up to 50% off on headphones, soundbars and Bluetooth speakers

The Bose SoundLink Flex 2 is a much-needed improvement on the expensive SoundLink Flex 1. The 2 brings excellent sound, an IP67 rating, and a completely customizable EQ. It sounds powerful, confident, and is small enough to fit into any backpack. Save $40 right now for Prime Day.

When my dad asked me to recommend a pair of great headphones, I didn't hesitate. I told him to get the Bose QuietComfort — and he did! Right now you can get them for a huge 50% off, which makes them even better value. The QC Headphones bring bassy sound, supreme ANC, and silky ear cups to the party.

We reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds a few years ago and loved them. The ANC is spectacular, as is the bass-forward sound. They even come in a variety of colors so you can be sure to find one that suits your vibe. These are perfect everyday earbuds — and now they're as cheap as the AirPods 4's MSRP (which don't have ANC!).

Tired of tinny TV sound but don't have a lot to spend? Look no further than the Bose TV speaker. This 2.0-channel soundbar has surprising detail and width and can instantly upgrade any TV sound. I just wouldn't recommend it for large TVs as it's a compact little soundbar.

The SoundLink Plus is the perfect bridge between the tiny SoundLink Flex 2 and the huge SoundLink Max. Think of it as the "just right" of Bluetooth speakers. It has a great IP67 rating, meaning it can be used at pool and beach parties without dying, and has a 20-hour battery life.

This is where Bose starts to get really premium. The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Gen 2 are the best ANC earbuds you can get — and we've tested most of 'em. These earbuds sound excellent and will block out everyone around you.

The Bose SoundLink Max is the most powerful of its portable speakers. This speaker is designed for soundtracking outdoor parties, house parties, and everything in between. You can save a huge $120 at the moment. You get 20 hours of playback and Bose's classic bassy sound.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are a little overpriced at their $449 MSRP, so I'd recommend only grabbing them while they're on sale. Thankfully, they're just $379 right now, which makes them great value. You get best-in-class ANC and supreme comfort — I'd recommend these headphones to anyone who spends a lot of time traveling.

I have the Bose Smart Soundbar as my personal soundbar at home. I love the Spotify streaming capability, and the AI Dialogue mode means I never miss speech. As it's quite compact, it fits under most TVs, and looks sublime while doing so. The Dolby Atmos performance is nothing to scoff at, either.
