You may have expected that social distancing and staying home would provide some peace and quiet, but after a few days of dealing with noisy family members, roommates, or neighbors, you may be looking for some sweet relief to get some work done from home. Just in time, Bose’s latest Noise-Cancelling Headphones 700 is on sale for $100 less at Nordstrom. Though we highly recommend this model, you can also find a few other stellar headphones at lower prices during the retailer’s site-wide 25-percent-off sale right now.

We tested the Bose 700 in comparison to Apple’s new AirPods Pro on a cross-country flight back in the fall and found that even the best wireless earbuds can’t match their noise isolation and battery life. We’ve also recommended the less expensive Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones in the past, but the new 700 includes the same 20-hour wireless battery life, Alexa compatibility, and Bose augmented-reality feature as the Quiet Comfort 35, while adding touch controls, a new Bose music app, and 11 levels of noise-cancellation (up from three). The microphone system with four mics also makes them great at isolating your voice from surrounding sounds while you take phone calls.

Beyond the impressive sound, noise-cancellation, and battery life, you’ll also want your over-ear headphones to be as slim and comfortable as possible. The Bose 700 delivers here as well due to the lightweight construction—just half a pound. It also comes with a compact carrying case (about seven inches wide and two inches deep), and is available in black or silver styles.

Though all of these remarkable features come with a much higher price tag than many alternatives, you can score the Bose 700 for $299.25 now instead of $400. If you’re searching for other wireless earbuds or over-ear headphones at a lower price, there are a few more options from brands including Bose, Sony, and Beats available below.
