I rode the train to my hometown this weekend for a family event, and I wouldn’t have survived without my noise-canceling earbuds. They only left my noggin to listen to a couple argue (juicy!) and learn about historic Horseshoe Curve outside of Altoona, Pennsylvania (educational!). I was undisturbed by antsy small children and people who don’t bring headphones with them while they travel. If you’re on the hunt for a pair—or if you’re trying to be passive-aggressive—Bose makes some of our favorite noise-canceling headphones for travel or work, and its OG QuietComfort headphones are currently on sale at Amazon.

Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones $249 (Was $349)

The Bose QuietComfort headphones let you tune out distractions and quiet the world around you without sacrificing sound. Plush earcups feel like a hug on your head, and an included microphone cord lets you use them when the battery runs out or without a Bluetooth connection. A multi-point toggle lets you seamlessly switch between devices. There are plenty of listening modes to choose from, like Adjustable EQ, Quiet, and Aware Mode. 24-hour battery life means you can rock out for the entire bus route/flight/train ride.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
