The holidays are fast approaching, and the holiday shopping window is closing quickly. But if you’re looking for some great new headphones for the music lover in your family, there are still some headphone deals and Bose headphone deals available for pre-Christmas delivery. Among them is a deal on the Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones at Amazon, which has dropped the price of the popular headphones from $329 to $279, a savings of $50. Free shipping is included, and these headphones will arrive before Christmas if you act quickly.
Bose’s QuietComfort headphone lineup has become legendary among people who like to take their music anywhere, thanks to the simple design, long battery life, and premium Bose sound quality. The QuietComfort 45 is the newest iteration, and they fit nicely with that reputation. They’re the perfect headphones for travelers, people on the go, and pretty much anybody who prefers top-notch sound quality no matter what they may be listening to. They connect easily to any Bluetooth device with the Bose Music app and look great and unobtrusive wherever the day may take you.
The Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones offer great battery life — up to 24 hours on a single charge, in fact. A full charge can be reached in only 2.5 hours, and a mere 15 minutes of charging will get the headphones three hours of playback. Noise cancellation is another premium feature of the QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones, and it offers several different modes that range from full noise canceling for intense creative sessions to an Aware Mode that allows outside noise through when you’re listening to music outdoors and want to absorb some of the outside world alongside your music.
Whether they’re a gift for you or a loved one, the Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones will thrill anyone this holiday season, especially with this deal from Amazon. They’re only $279, marked down from $329, and that $50 savings includes the peace of mind that it will arrive in time to wrap for the holidays if you act quickly.
Amazon has unveiled a new Alexa lineup featuring the Echo Show 16, Echo Time smart clock, and Alexa Photo Frame. Two speakers join them: an upgraded Echo Dot with a built-in smart home hub and the Echo Studio with Home Camera, which lets Alexa+ see its surroundings. Both are available now for $99.99 and $249.99, respectively.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
