Bose and Google teamed up to promote the Bose QuietComfort 35 II, one the best noise-cancelling headsets you can buy. Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G pre-orders include a free pair of Bose QC 35 II headphones, but this promotion is limited to certain regions.

Anyone pre-ordering the Pixel 5 may take advantage of this offer from September 30 through October 19 at 11:59 p.m. BST. Pixel 4a 5G pre-orders must be made from November 5 through November 18 at 11:59 p.m. BST in order to snag a pair of free Bose QC 35 II headphones.

How to get your free Bose QC 35 II

Google Pixel 5 Google's first 5G smartphone

The Google Pixel 5 may not be the high-end Pixel we were expecting, but it's a pretty compelling mid-range option. Google is going back to basics with the Pixel 5, ditching higher-end features like face recognition and the quirky Motion Sense gestures.

Go to the Google Store, or any participating retailer, and purchase your Pixel 5 or Pixel 4 5G between the specified date and times above. Then, you must wait 14 days from your order before submitting a claim for the Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Once the waiting period ends, you may submit a claim for your free headphones, but it must be done within 45 days of the original purchase date. This means that you have up to 31 days to submit your claim.

You must provide the Google with the following information:

  • Order date
  • Retailer
  • IMEI number and other product information
  • Personal details
  • Proof of purchase

Opia, a Google partner, will then validate the information and process the claim. If all is well, your claim will be approved within two business days, and you’ll receive your free Bose QC 35 II headphones within 50 days of claim validation.
