  "account": "Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) headphones are now available for $199, a remarkable $160 discount from their regular price of $359. This unprecedented deal is being offered by Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy, marking the headphones' lowest price point to date. The 45% markdown occurred three weeks before the traditional Black Friday holiday shopping rush, an exceptional move for a product launch. The second generation Bose QuietComfort headphones were introduced in August as the brand's latest mid-range offering, and are considered a strong competitor to Sony's WH-1000XM4C headphones. Despite offering less plush ear cushioning and no spatial audio, the Bose headphones boast superior noise-cancelling technology. This deal not only provides significant savings but also presents an excellent value, making it a worthy consideration for students, commuters, remote workers, or anyone seeking top-tier audio equipment during the holiday season.",
  "summary": "The new Bose QuietComfort headphones dropped to their lowest ever price ahead of Black Friday. At just $199, Mashable's headphones expert calls it the early Black Friday deal to beat.",
