BoseFew headphones have gained the reputation of Bose's QC25s.

Their standard-setting active noise cancellation has made them a must-have for travelers for years, even as Bluetooth headphones have taken off.

This pair of headphones hasn't gone on sale since Black Friday, but right now you can save $20 if you buy it on Amazon through August 19.

The QC25's are over-ear headphones with a microphone and volume controls built into their cable. Their audio quality and comfort have gained them a lot of acclaim (I haven't tried them myself, but two people I know immediately bought a new pair after losing theirs), but the standout feature here is the noise cancelling.

Powered by AAA batteries, Bose tuned these headphones to reduce disturbances from common travel disturbances, like the dull drone of a plane's engine. If you have trouble getting to sleep while traveling because of noise, these very well may become your favorite piece of travel tech.

The only thing that makes these headphones a little behind the times is their wire, but if you're looking for a Bluetooth solution, Bose recently introduced a Bluetooth version of these same headphones. They're more expensive, but if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack or you don't like the idea of carrying around batteries, they're a good option.

Although this price cut isn't dramatic, these headphones don't go on sale often, and there's no guarantee they'll get discounted for Black Friday this year. If they've been on your "to buy" list for a while now, this might be the best time to pick them up until next year.
