Bose QuietComfort headphones are known to have the best noise cancellation available, and they allow you to completely submerge yourself in your go-to music. The active noise cancelling technology works together with passive features to banish distractions.
Comfort is an upscale concern with the QuietComfort brand: The Velour earcup cushions are designed to softly cushion your ears and the headband cushion holds it in place without being too constrictive even after hours of listening. All this attention to comfort means that you can wear these headphones for hours without any pain.
Bose QuietComfort offers two listening modes: Quiet Mode to totally cancel noise and Aware Mode in which you stay connected to the world. The two listening modes allow you to customize your listening experience to suit any environment. Mode switching is convenient, and you are in total control of your audio experience.
The headphones deliver high-fidelity sound with deep bass, crisp mids and crisp highs: The variable EQ lets you customize the sound profile to your liking so that you can bump up the bass for your workout playlist or boost the treble for podcasts and audiobooks.
Bose headphones boast up to 24 hours of playtime from a full charge so they'll make it through even the longest day. If you ever run short of time, a 15-minute charge gives you up to 2.5 hours of additional playtime so you're never too long without your music. For when you rather employ a wired connection, all you have to do is insert the included audio cable with an in-line microphone.
Seamless connection is offered with multipoint Bluetooth technology, which allows you to connect to multiple devices at the same time. You can easily switch between your phone, tablet, and laptop without the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting every time you switch.
Act now: this is just for Prime members, and it will sell out quickly.

Amazon's AI-Powered AWS, Efficiency Gains, And Consumer Demand Fuel Bullish Q2 Outlook
(NASDAQ:AMZN) is poised to potentially outperform market expectations in its July 31 second-quarter earnings report, driven by a combination of robust U.S. retail sales, advantageous foreign exchange rates, and accelerating demand for its artificial intelligence-related services through Amazon Web Services (AWS). Strong consumer spending and ongoing efficiency gains in its e-commerce operations are also contributing to a positive outlook for the tech giant. Reinforcing this positive sentiment, Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post maintained (NASDAQ:AMZN) with a Buy rating and raised the price forecast from $248 to $265. Post raised its second-quarter estimates for the company, citing stronger-than-expected U.S. retail data, favorable foreign exchange (FX) movements, and rising AI-related demand via Anthropic. The analyst forecasted second-quarter revenue of $164 billion, exceeding Wall Street's consensus of $162 expects Amazon Web Services (AWS) to grow 16.5% year-over-year, slightly below the first-quarter's 16.9% but in line with Street projections of 17%. However, Post noted that robust AI demand and accelerating AWS infrastructure investments will drive growth reacceleration in the second half of the year. The analyst projects $17.8 billion in second-quarter profit, above the consensus estimate of $17.0 billion and the high end of Amazon's own guidance of $17.5 billion. Key drivers include resilient consumer spending, signs of acceleration in e-commerce trends, and FX benefits, especially with the euro up 5% year-over-year (Y/Y) and 8% quarter-over-quarter (Q/Q) against the dollar, potentially delivering a 130bps FX tailwind vs. the Street's modest 30bps estimate, he noted. In North America Retail, aggregated BAC credit/debit card data and Bloomberg Second Measure point to a 4-point acceleration in sales growth versus the first quarter, Post noted. The analyst said this sets the stage for Amazon to beat Street expectations by over 2% in the region. International Retail could benefit from FX trends, as the Street models only offer a modest boost. Amazon's guidance for the third quarter is expected to range between $169 billion and $174 billion (vs. Street at $172.8 billion) with GAAP EBIT projected between $14.0 billion and $18.0 billion (Street at $19.4 billion), Post noted. He suggested Amazon's historical conservatism could result in cautious guidance, but if second-quarter results show substantial upside, the third-quarter outlook could surprise higher. Post also highlighted reports of AWS job cuts, which may support margin expansion in the second half. The analyst estimates second-quarter AWS operating margins at 36.0%, slightly above the consensus of 35.3%, though down 3.5 points from the first quarter due to higher stock-based compensation. He further noted that AWS capex spending is scaling rapidly, up 38 points Y/Y, now accounting for 70% of Amazon's capex, signaling a ramp in infrastructure buildout that should alleviate previous supply constraints and support future growth. Post said positives that could boost investor confidence included solid second-quarter retail performance from resilient consumer demand, potential third-quarter boost from a longer Prime Day, retail margin leverage from hiring freezes and cost discipline, AWS revenue acceleration tied to increasing AI and chip demand and improved operating efficiency and tax savings from the Big Beautiful Bill, which could add $6.4 billion in incremental cash tax benefits between 2025–2027. Despite trading at 13.4 times 2026 EV/EBITDA, Amazon remains below its 10-year average of 16.5 times, the analyst said, suggesting potential for multiple expansion if growth momentum holds. Upcoming results from Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) may also influence sentiment ahead of Amazon's report, Post noted. Post projected second-quarter revenue of $163.92 billion and EPS of $1.40. Price Action: AMZN stock is trading higher by 0.26% to $228.05 at last check Wednesday.

Related: Here's How Much a Typical Nvidia Employee Makes in a Year The filings also show that Amazon pays data scientists as much as $230,900. Financial analysts take home a maximum of $204,028, and technical product managers can make up to $235,200. The data is drawn from 11,300 documents that Amazon filed with the U.S. Department of Labor in the first quarter of the year while onboarding foreign workers. The data only pertains to foreign hires and only includes base salary, not signing bonuses, stock options, or other forms of compensation. In comparison, Meta pays $120,000 to $480,000, Google pays $109,180 to $340,000, and Microsoft pays $82,971 to $284,000 for software engineering talent. The filings show that Amazon pays other roles on the team as follows: Applied Scientist: $83,491 to $260,000 $83,491 to $260,000 Business Analyst: $79,518 to $143,100 $79,518 to $143,100 Data Engineer: $70,262 to $236,344 $70,262 to $236,344 Product Manager: $109,782 to $200,000 $109,782 to $200,000 Program Manager: $81,600 to $162,700 $81,600 to $162,700 Quality Assurance Engineer: $86,320 to $185,000 While these roles can pay in the six figures, they are outside the norm for most Amazon workers. Approximately 65% of Amazon's workforce is employed in operations and fulfillment roles in its warehouses, including positions like warehouse associates and delivery drivers. That composition is reflected in more general measures of Amazon's pay levels. For example, according to Amazon's annual proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this year, the median global Amazon employee made $37,181 in 2024. The same document showed that Amazon paid CEO Andy Jassy $1,596,889 in 2024, or about 43 times more than the median global employee. Related: Here's How Much a Typical Google Employee Makes in a Year U.S.-based Amazon employees are compensated better than their global counterparts. The annual proxy statement revealed that the median annual compensation was $47,990 for full-time U.S. employees, an approximately $10,000 increase from the pay of a median global employee. According to Amazon's latest quarterly earnings report, released in May, the company employs 1.56 million people worldwide.
