For those with busy commutes, noisy offices, or several trips planned this summer (lucky you!), a pair of noise-canceling headphones is a must. And one of the best options on the market is on sale today.

As of May 10, the Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones are on sale at Amazon for $279. That's $50, or 15%, off their listing price of $329. While these headphones certainly aren't cheap, you get a lot for the price, and this is a solid discount on some of Bose's newest over-ear headphone technology.

So, what makes these headphones worth their weight in gold? They have quite a few upgrades from their predecessor, the QuietComfort 35 II. You have the quick-charge feature that gives you three hours of battery life after just 15 minutes of charging (so if you forget to charge them on a busy morning, you're covered); a personalized app that allows you to switch up your preferred bass, mid-range, or treble levels; and 24 hours of battery life, even if you keep active noise-canceling on the whole time.

And if it's noise canceling you're after, Bose has really upped the ante for a more immersive listening experience. When you switch on Quiet Mode, tiny microphones inside the ear cups constantly measure outside noise and cancel it out with opposite signals so even the loudest sounds can be muffled. You can also switch on Aware Mode so that those same microphones pick up outside noise to keep you aware of your surroundings when you're on busy streets or need to be able to hear the phone ring at the office. Other new features include a USB-C input and updated ear cup padding for added comfort.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones offer high quality when it comes to custom sound and all-day comfort.
