Cyber Monday comes just before the holiday travel rush, and if you have a big trip planned, you need the right gear. Having luggage with fully functioning wheels, noise-canceling headphones to block out the world, or a travel pillow to keep your neck from getting hurt while you sleep will all improve your travel experience. Having cozy and warm clothes can be invaluable, especially during adventure trips. Luckily, some of the best travel gear is heavily discounted right now, and it will serve you well on all the trips you take in the years to come.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth headphones $299 (was $429)

Over-ear noise-canceling headphones are the one device we can comfortably recommend to any traveler, and the aptly named Bose QuietComfort Ultras are the best of the bunch. They blocked an extraordinary amount of noise in our tests, even when listening to music at around 50 percent volume level. If you listen to music at 80 percent or more, virtually no outside sound will filter in, unless it’s a sharp, close sound like a horn. We also love how comfortable the QuietComfort Ultras feel on our heads, even after extended listening sessions. The headphones stay firmly in place without squeezing the sides of our heads. Finally, when you’re done listening, you can fold the headphones and store them in a backpack or bag.
We’re selecting the QuietComfort Ultras because they’re currently at their lowest price ever, thanks to a Black Friday deal. Plus, this is an excellent travel tool that you can use every day of the year, not just when you’re on the train or plane. The headphones let you enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows, and music without disturbing anyone you live with, and also make your commute a little more enjoyable.
