Bose Father's Day sale is live — my top picks from $149
When it comes to headphones and earbuds, Bose makes some of the best headphones we've tested. With Father's Day less than two weeks out, Bose is offering some killer deals on our favorite gear.
For instance, right now you can get the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for just $149. That's $30 off an excellent pair of earbuds. Alternatively, you can get the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones for just $399. We called them the best noise cancelling 'phones you can get right now.
Below are my top picks in Bose's Father's Day sale. For more deals, check out our guide to the best Father's Day sales.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) are a fantastic pair of noise-canceling earbuds that don't break the bank. Bose reigns supreme in terms of sound quality and active noise cancellation, and that's very much the case with these mid-range earbuds too. You're getting best-in-class sound quality and ANC — all for just $149.
The Bose Ultra Open perfected the open earbud formula. They have a comfortable, non-invasive fit, solid battery life, and they sound better than you might expect from open buds. They got 4 stars in our review, where we loved their simple controls and surprising lack of sound leakage.
The 4.5-star QuietComfort Ultra headphones are the best noise-canceling headphones that you can buy right now. That's thanks to Bose's excellent ANC algorithm, which manages to block more noise than any other pair of headphones we've tested. They sound great as well, boast a decent attempt at Spatial Audio, and while the 24-hour battery life isn't the best, they are still a solid pair of cans.

Nissan Launches Killer Sentra Lease Offer for June
Amid a summer full of rising lease prices-Nissan included-one name in the lineup still stands out: the 2025 Sentra SV. While the brand has hiked signing costs on popular models like the Kicks, Rogue, and Altima, and demands over $6,000 up front for the Murano or Pathfinder, the compact Sentra continues to offer one of the most approachable new-car leases available. The Sentra has always played the value card well, and in 2025, it doubles down on it. The SV trim, recommended for its added tech and comfort, adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, and access to the NissanConnect infotainment system with a Wi-Fi hotspot. And now, it's more affordable than ever. For $209 per month for 39 months with $3,259 due at signing, the Sentra SV offers one of the lowest monthly payments for any gas-powered car or crossover on the market. With a total lease mileage of 32,500 miles, it's a compelling package for budget-conscious shoppers who need practical, fuel-efficient daily transportation. If you want a little more style and luxury, Nissan's got an answer there, too. The Sentra SR, with its sharp-looking two-tone paint, 18-inch wheels, and available quilted leather interior, is available for $319/month. While that is a fairly large jump, it's still notably cheaper than most compact crossovers or hybrid sedans, and the upgrades do bring a touch of premium feel to an otherwise budget-friendly ride. The SR trim also adds LED headlights, a sportier exterior design, and access to more tech options, including an 8.0-inch touchscreen and premium Bose audio. These extras don't just look good on paper-they elevate the Sentra from a basic commuter to something that actually feels a little upscale inside. It's still the same practical car underneath, but with a more refined edge that's rare in this price range. The 2025 Sentra may not be the most thrilling car to drive, given that its 149-hp engine and CVT are more focused on economy than excitement, but it's quiet, comfortable, and equipped with class-leading safety tech. With EPA ratings of up to 34 mpg combined, supportive front seats, and a spacious 14-cubic-foot trunk, it covers all the basics and then some. If you're shopping for a new daily driver under $250 a month, this summer lease may be hard to beat. Even in a segment filled with great options, the Sentra SV makes a strong case for best overall value. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Get the best sound quality for your headphones, earbuds and Bluetooth speaker with these 3 Android tips and tweaks
So you've got your shiny new wireless headphones, and they're all connected up to your Android phone. You open Spotify, get that 25-hour Pop Punk playlist running, and set off for some on-the-go listening. But there's a problem — it doesn't sound quite right. You can't put your finger on it, but you feel like your headphones could sound better. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways on an Android phone to make sure your best wireless headphones are performing at their best. Even better, they're usually only a settings menu or an app installation away. Thanks to the freedom of Android, you have a whole lot more options when it comes to audio settings than Apple users. One of the biggest bonuses is that you can select a more powerful codec (the technology that makes sending your music over Bluetooth possible) that can improve the sound quality. Usually, the best codec is pre-selected when you connect your headphones, but sometimes it will default to SBC. A better option would be any one of the aptX versions, or LDAC, as those are capable of transmitting more data. Better bandwidth here equals richer sound in your headphones. Again, usually this is something you don't have to play around with, but it's always worth double-checking — just hop into the settings menu to find out. Head to the Bluetooth and connections menu, and then tap the settings cog next to your headphones. On this next screen, you should find the codec options. Remember that a better codec can also make Bluetooth less reliable in some circumstances, so be ready for some dropouts in busy environments. Before you go to the settings menu, double-check that your headphones and your phone support the codecs. This can be checked on the manufacturer's website. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. If both your phone and headphones both support LDAC but the codec isn't appearing in the connections menu, you'll need to activate developer options in your phone. Remember, most of the settings found here are useless, and if you play around too much, you might even cause usability issues in your phone. For our uses, we're just looking for LDAC connection — it will be highlighted if your headphones support the standard. Switch that on (and touch nothing else) and you'll soon find much better sound quality coming from your earbuds or headphones. All good headphones these days come with an accompanying phone app. For headphone testers like me, it's a pain — your phone gets loaded to the brim with applications that you're barely going to use. For you? They're a great way of changing the settings of your headphones, be that the ANC, the sound quality, and more. Generally, there'll be an app named after the manufacturer of your headphones. That could be the Sony Sound App, the Bowers & Wilkins Music App, the Bose Music app... you get the picture. Not every app is created equal, unfortunately. Some have loads more options than others. For better sound quality, you'll be looking for the EQ settings and the connection options. If you're rocking Spotify, it's likely that your music isn't sounding as good because of Spotify's low quality streams. If you want the best sounding music possible, you should head over to the likes of Tidal and Qobuz. There you'll find much higher quality streams — and it might not even cost as much as you think. From $10.83 per monthIf you want the best sound quality possible, make sure you grab a Qobuz subscription. It's the best sounding streaming service around, and we use it when we test any headphones that we review. Subscribe for the year and save loads of money over Spotify. When you're streaming your music, it's changing the quality of the track to match the quality of the internet connection that it's using. That means that sometimes you might get lower quality music coming to your ears. It's very clever, but if you want the best sound all the time, then make sure you download your music for offline listening. This is an option in most apps — generally you'll find it in the apps settings menu under 'offline listening'. From there, you'll find either a slider, or an option for each track, album, or even playlist.
