Went into JB to have a look around, been looking at these headphones for a while and had read alot about how poor their mic qiality was and some sound issues etc..

The new firmware they released has apprently addressed all these issues so I decided to have a go at getting them cheaper from the JB Guys.

Retails at JB HiFi at $348

Got them to mark it down to $299 after some serious haggling.

Hope this receipt can help anyone else out who thinks this is a good bargain!

    Ended up taking mine back after i updated the firmware… They just stopped working.

    Good luck with them!

    Careful purchasing any headsets with the view to use them on the next gen consoles.
    PS4 should be the same, but with the added audio port in the controller (like current 360) but the Onesie is not compatible with all current WIRED headset for sure, and possibly wireless ones too.

    I have these and they are briliant. I had to update the firmware as out the box some annoying issus (like every time I turned it off, it did not remember my volume level and mix) but no problems since.

    • Build quality v good, light and comfortable on the head (i used to have Trittons, that kept breaking)
    • Easy to adjust (though you have to get used to remembering where the buttons are)
    • Sound is amazing and immersive
    • Fleixible - mainly use it for gaming for XBOX, but also for Ps3, take it ot the TV upstairs and just plug the Optical Out of TV into it, and watch movies in surround sound. Easy to move as just runs off USB.

    Overall, one of my best gaming purchases!

    I havent got the receipt but i got mine about 2 months ago for 288.

    i did mention EB's packaging of sim city with the headset.

    I'm on my 2nd pair from EB. Great sound, very comfy, just not very reliable at times with the first pair. So far so good.
