Normal price at OW is $69, still pretty cheap compared with other sites. Stock at Auburn (NSW), Milton (QLD) and many different other ones.

i owned one of these and i used it for commuting on the train everyday. great on noise isolation, good enough for audio streaming and podcasting.
Don't know I should get one or not, I guess use it for running is out of the question.
off-topic
just notice a box above the comments where Officeworks is rated 2.3 out of 5
is OW doing that bad for the OBZ community?
I've been disappointed in the past with the amount of out of stock items.
The reviews come from productreview.com.au, not here.
any comments on the call quality? does it reduce the background noise at all? are they able to be rested around the neck when not in use under normal office use?
Just read the comments from prev. deals:
thanks - ive been watching those, but still curious to hear from anyone that has used them;
any comments on the call quality?
does it reduce the background noise at all? (more specifically, does the microphone have any background noise reduction) - in contrast, I realise the earplugs will reduce environmental noise for the wearer.
*when rested arounf the neck at idle, are they prone to falling off?
I bought a pair from OW today.
okay - a mini review for anyone else on the fence.
call quality is fantastic. I wasn't sure it had noise reduction microphone, but it does, and does a great job.when you rest them on your neck, they tend to have a bias toward the heavier side, so end up a little lop-sided - I think they could slide off, loosing them and you'd be lucky to notice with them being so light.
bass is good, if you use the larger ear buds (comes with three sets, small, medium, large). with the smaller buds, I could definitely see why you'd be dissapointed with the bass.
What I didn't appreciate, and I dont know how I skimmed over it - its rated as 4.5hrs use - but reviews say its more like 3.5 - thats going to be a problem for me.
I dont really enjoy how much outside noise it eliminates - it feels very issolating. I'm sure some people will look for this feature, but I dont.
I'm going to list them in the classified section of OzB.
Thanks for your review, looking forward to hear mine =)
Bought one from the prev deal and i love it.
Please note there's a new version Backbeat Go 2 released (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/117002).
Main difference on the new one is a much longer standby time and allows pairing with up to 8 devices.
The Backbeat Go 1 only allows 1 device :(Brilliant headphones these.
I don't really understand JB HiFi's pricematching. I have a JB voucher, so that's why my preference is to spend there. They quoted $119 and "pricematched" to $91. I've never been knocked back for a price match at office works.
Help?
Just popped into local OW
Picked up a set as id been eyeing them for a while.
First impressions - very very good headset. Easy to pair , little flat sounding without eq, very comfortable.
Def a bargain !
Went to OW, meant to pickup a Go but they give me 903+ now I'm undecided.
Had them - they are awkward, but the battery life on the 903 is better.
903+ is awkward? I got the feeling it will work better for working out for the 903+
Just read your previous comment that you're going to use them for running.. The 903 may work out better for you? Its going to be heavier though.
When I say awkward, I'm thinking more from my point of view taking calls while they are idle and resting on my shoulders - they are awkward to wrap around your ear and pop into your ear compared to something like the Backbeat Go I imagine. My favorite was the LG Tone 700, though I've been using a pair of Motorola S305 for a few years - they are behind the neck, on ear and just seem to be ready when I am.
Would these work for PC? And if so how do i connect it via bluetooth, do I get a little bluetooth receiver?
Yep! Abundantly available everywhere & cheap as chips!

good price …there is a newer model "GO 2" model on amazon but would cost more anyway
I owned these briefly for use with the Bluetooth mp3 player. The sound quality is very clear but next-to-no bass.
OK so after using them in the office all day, streaming from both my phone and iPad and now using it with my Air.
Im very impressed ! with the larger buds the fit is a lot more comfortable and the bass there is plenty with the right EQ settings.
Highly recommended, for 50 bucks these are incredible value.
Yet to her the in call quality - but I doubt it will be bad.
Used them for a few calls tonight , so far perfect :)
Other then the buds protruding a little (not as discreet as id like it) once again for under 50 bucks these are sublime
Did you able to pair this with three devices (your phone, iPad and Air) ??
Someone mentioned here that this model can only pair with one device at a time ! I am interested in this but hold-off just because of this potential issue. Just like you I too need to pair atleast with three gadgets. Your quick feedback is much appreciated. Thanks
I've been burnt twice now buying bluetooth headsets off Chinese websites that only support 'call' but not 'media' playback, so having picked these up this afternoon I've got to say i'm pretty happy having a set that actually allow music!
I've just taken mine out of the box and am pretty happy with them, thanks for posting this deal!Sound is very good but poor baterry life
Best for the price, i own way to many headphones (all prices, shapes and sizes) and i bought these at amazon $60. Could use a little more on the bass end, just a little short of what i wanted there, 4hr battery is good, not sure on the fit though, seems others have issue too with them working their way out. Use them in the gym so good in regards with sweat and moisture, can't speak to the noise cancelling. Under $50, bargain.
One thing when listening to your tunes or whatever, you can't skip back to the previous song, well i couldn't on my droid.
Decent price for a decent pair of bluetooth headphones. I found the sound coming out to be quite good. The only real issue I have had (and still not solved) is securing each headphone into my ear. It keeps slipping out no matter how much I squish it in there. Yes, I have tried the numerous tips.
