This is not a drill: the comfiest headphones we've ever tried dropped back down to their Prime Day price.

As Mashable's shopping reporter on the headphone beat, I've tried headphones from Bose, Sony, Bowers & Wilkins, JBL, and more — and without a doubt the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are the most comfortable out there. And as of Oct. 14, they're on sale for $329, dropping $100 in price back down to the record-low we saw last week during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale. (They're sold out at Walmart for the same price).

Mashable Shopping reporter Sam Mangino also reviewed these headphones, agreeing that these were the comfiest she'd tried, writing, "I wear glasses daily and love hoop earrings—two things that are normally incompatible with over-ear headphones. However, I worked a whole day while wearing glasses and my favorite earrings without discomfort."

However, there is more to these headphones than how they wear. While the sound profile and noise-cancelling is generally on par with what you'd expect from premium-priced headphones, Mangino found that their noise-cancelling wasn't the best she tried, noting that it suffered particularly for higher pitched sounds. While the sound quality was generally rich, she also found that the Immersive spatial audio seemed to rely on bumping up the volume more than anything.

For my part, I found that these headphones performed excellently on a flight for blocking out your standard plane sounds, but wished that I could've used them passively, and was surprised that at this price point, I needed to have the headphones powered on to use the corded connection. I was also surprised that these headphones sometimes struggled with switching between devices, or turning on and easily pairing to devices they'd been last connected to.

Still, at $329, you're getting the comfiest headphones money can buy, and noise-cancelling that still sits on the higher end of the headphone market.
