Dear OzBargainers,

Thank you again for being so welcoming and supportive over the last two promotions we have offered (found here and here).

Many of you asked for a deal on our wireless headphones, so I set about making one happen. Here's the lowdown:

  • Air-Fi Runaway AF32 On-Ear headphones: $44.99 ($30 off with coupon) - our bestselling wireless set. Available in 6 color combinations, the Runaway is lightweight and comfortable, and was tuned for a smooth, balanced sound.
  • Air-Fi Venture AF52 Over-Ear Headphones: $54.99 ($65 off with coupon) - our recently-released over-ear wireless headphone. It delivers an enhanced-bass sound with no-frills Bluetooth operation. The Venture is my personal favorite - it's very straightforward and easy to use and sounds good whether used wired or wirelessly.
  • Air-Fi Matrix AF62 Over-Ear Headphones: $69.99 ($80 off with coupon) - our flagship wireless headphone, the Matrix has a few extra Bluetooth features over the Venture such as NFC, Multipoint connectivity, and Bluetooth voice prompts. It has a nicer finish on the outside with the matte plastics, faux-carbon fiber inserts, and softer earpad cushions. In terms of sound they are similar but the Venture is tuned for more bass whereas the Matrix focuses more on vocals and instruments in the midrange.

All of our wireless headphones have built-in microphones and remotes for headset functionality. They can also all be used wired via the included detachable audio cables. The Venture and Matrix can be used in wired (or even wireless) mode while charging. The battery life of the Runaway is about 12 hours per charge while the Matrix and Venture can go about 18 hours at top volumes and even longer at reasonable volumes.

Coupon code is "OzBargainAirFi". All prices listed are in USD. There is a limit of 2 per order and the coupon will expire next Thursday, 10/24/13, at midnight PST.

The coupon code also gives an additional $2.95 credit towards shipping. For those who use US forwarding services, this will give free postage to any US address. For everyone else it will just discount the total by an additional $2.95.

Unfortunately the international postage for these gets a little complicated - because the boxes are much bigger and heavier compared to our earphones, the postage varies based on weight. There is a base charge of $8.95 for USPS 1st class mail, same as before, which does not change with the number of units. After that, the postage cost works as follows:

*Each Runaway AF32 unit adds $7 to the overall postage cost
*Each Venture AF52 unit adds $11 to the overall postage cost
*Each Matrix AF62 unit adds $15 to the overall postage cost

This means that international postage for two AF32 Runaways would be $8.95 + $7 + $7 = $22.95 before the $2.95 shipping discount ($20 total after discount). The postage for one Runaway and one Venture would be $8.95 + $7 + $11 = $ $26.95 before discount ($24 after).

Delivery times vary but are typically between 10 and 20 business days for the cheapest shipping method. FedEx shipping is also available at an additional cost and typically delivers in just a few days.

With our wireless headphones the goal has always been to deliver sound quality competitive not only with other wireless sets, but with similarly-priced wired headphones as well. The Runaway AF32, which was released in 2012, was recognized as one of cnet's best headphones under $100 and received other rave reviews from outlets such as PCAdvisor. The Venture and Matrix were released within the past few months and only have a couple of reviews, such as the Android Dissected Venture review.

I also want to address compatibility as it will surely come up - all of our headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 2.1 and newer devices that support A2DP for stereo audio. In practical terms, this means they will work with all modern smartphones and tablets (as long as they have Bluetooth built in) as well as Mac computers manufactured in 2011 or later. Windows computers a little more complicated and require some setup but as long as the hardware is compatible (Bluetooth 2.1 or newer and A2DP support) it should be possible to set up a wireless headphone under Windows 7 or 8.

As before, I will gladly answer any questions as best I can. I can also be contacted by email at [email protected] or directly at mike(at)s2einc.com .

Thank you all for your feedback and support. All comments and suggestions are welcome!

      The battery life of the Runaway is about 12 hours per charge while the Matrix and Venture can go about 18 hours at top volumes and even longer at moderate volumes.

      I would recommend the Venture or Matrix for a smaller head - the over-ear coupling keeps them in place better as there's more contact area with the larger pads compared to the Runaway.

    Sorry, the AF71 has been dropped due to overall customer feedback not being as good as we expected. We are working on a replacement wireless in-ear for 2014.

    • Tomika on 18/10/2013 - 13:35

      Mike is it possible to do something based on AF71 specs liked having aptx, longer music play back time, flat cable, possibly built in memory card..?

      • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 19/10/2013 - 04:32

        APT-X and longer battery life are two of our goals for a replacement model, as well as (hopefully) a lower price and better wireless range. Flat cable turned out not to be such a great idea - when you sweat, it tends to stick to your neck more than a regular cable. A memory card slot is not something we have looked into.

    Excellent price on the AF32 rep! I got a couple of pairs for $48 US each from Amazon earlier in the year. Shipping from Amazon was $13 for 2 pairs.

    Amazon still $1 cheaper when factoring postage for 2 pairs, but still an awesome (current) price for a great headphone!

  • Timski on 18/10/2013 - 10:48

    Dammit… I just brought your other deal, but these matrix wireless ones look the bees knees!

    The reason I don't wear cans at the gym is because I hate the cord getting tangled.

    Quick one - What buttons are on the bottom of them? What does 'media' entail? Pretty much just need play/pause and next/back.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 18/10/2013 - 11:13

      I don't know if I would use full-size headphones at the gym - the sweat is bound to soak into the earpads. Seems like it would be a mess.

      The buttons are as follows:

      Left side: power | volume up | volume down
      Right side: next track | play/pause | previous track

      The power button is also used to pick up and terminate phone calls and to put the headphones in pairing mode.

  • bubber on 18/10/2013 - 11:28

    Hi Mike, just a small question for you in regards to the ventures I just purchased. In the Android Dissected Venture review the video shows that the 3.5 cable is straight which is a little strange considering the position of the jack, have you guys changed the cable to an angled one, if not I will get one from ebay while waiting for my headphones. Also is it hard to change the battery in these if need be in the future. Thanks

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 18/10/2013 - 12:05

      Unfortunately the cable is still straight - we added the headphone jack to them at the last moment and for some reason they couldn't change the cable connector in time. It doesn't get in the way as much as you might think, though.

  • msbluberry on 18/10/2013 - 11:28

    Hi guys - any idea on how these would go against background noise? I know they are not noise-cancelling but am hoping to use these while flying and hate the background engine noise. Any feedback on that? Would any particular model be better for this than another?

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 18/10/2013 - 12:09
      +1

      The Matrix and Venture provide some noise isolation thanks to the closed earcups and over-ear coupling. The Runaway provides almost none.

      Personally, I do not use headphones for flying any more. In-ear earphones provide way more noise isolation - potentially more than a good noise-canceling headphone, even. If in-ears are not an option you'll probably want something with active noise canceling to kill off that droning engine noise.

      • msbluberry on 18/10/2013 - 12:13

        Great - thank you for that :)

  • Super8Tab on 18/10/2013 - 11:44

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 18/10/2013 - 12:11
      +3

      Not as practical as our sports models (http://www.meelec.com/Sport_Fi_s/397.htm) - earpads on headphones tend to soak up sweat and they aren't secure enough on the head for some gym activities. Plus, sweating too much could potential damage the electronics, though we haven't had any reports of this happening yet.

      P.S. we are working on a sports bluetooth model for next year - hopefully it will be ready in the first quarter of 2014.

    • tugnabs on 18/10/2013 - 12:16

      its $8.95+ $15 shipping for Matrix minus $2.95 after you put discount code in I believe so it's right at $23.95

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 18/10/2013 - 12:17

      Unfortunately that's the correct amount. See this section of the OP:

      *Each Venture AF52 unit adds $11 to the overall postage cost
      *Each Matrix AF62 unit adds $15 to the overall postage cost

      This means that international postage for two AF32 Runaways would be $8.95 + $7 + $7 = $22.95 before the $2.95 shipping >discount ($20 total after discount). The postage for one Runaway and one Venture would be $8.95 + $7 + $11 = $ $26.95 >before discount ($24 after).

      Total postage cost for a Matrix should be $21 after the $2.95 discount (which applies to the order total).

      I am not sure if this is still the case but the last time I checked the Playstation 3 does not support the A2DP Stereo Audio Bluetooth protocol so you will not be able to use our headphones with it.

      The support thread found at http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/B… lists Bluetooth Stereo Headphones (in general) as not compatible.

      Base charge of $8.95, then add $15 for adding the matrix.

      Take a look at the original post as it is pretty clear I thought.

    • tugnabs on 18/10/2013 - 12:19

      $8.95 is the base charged by usps. you still need to add $15 for Matrix ($11 for Venture and $7 for Runaway) then the code gives you $2.95 discount. so $23.95 is correct for shipping of 1 Matrix

      Yes, Bluetooth can absolutely be turned off. On the AF32 Runaway bluetooth is always off when you have a cable plugged in. On the Venture and Matrix you can have bluetooth on or off even with the cable plugged in. This allows you to be using the headphones wired (for example with your computer) while also connected to your phone wirelessly at the same time in case a call comes in.

      With line of sight (no walls in between) you should get more than the specified 10m of range. When there are such as walls and doors it goes down a little but I have no trouble navigating my entire apartment with the Runaway connected to my TV. Unless your home has lead walls, in which case all bets are off.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 19/10/2013 - 03:42

      The ear pads (the soft parts) are removable on all three. We sell replacements on our site and you can also just wash them and put them back on the headphones.

      • cornbeef on 19/10/2013 - 08:21

        That's great to know Mike. I see on your website only grey or red replacement for the 32's, and not the other models. Do you also have black for the 32's?
        I gather the cover that comes with the runaways is a cloth one (similar to my 21's). Do you have hard cases for the runaways? (and the other models? as folks may be interested, particularly as your prices are low and worthwhile shipping in the one hit.)

          Unfortunately we don't have a hard case for the Runaways. The Matrix (AF62), which folds flat, comes with a zipper case. You can see it here: http://www.headsound.de/WebRoot/Store10/Shops/63028271/5207/…

      Just a heads up for bluetooth headsets and gaming.

      A2DP protocol doesn't support stereo + microphone. You either get good stereo or bad mono + microphone. If you intend to use it for multiplayer gaming then consider a wireless headset that supports RF over USB + Bluetooth or just USB RF wireless. Also A2DP has a slight delay, so for gaming and movies it can be an issue. I've actually found that some programs seem to compensate for this delay while others don't. This is for PC, Mac, iOS and Android (I have a lot of devices).

      • qwertyson on 18/10/2013 - 19:50

        I use skype to chat to my friends, so my in-game music would be affected? So these headsets can only be used primarily as headphones?

        • c0balt on 18/10/2013 - 19:58

          Well you can't listen to music at the same time as chatting to friends over skype with A2DP unless you are listening in mono (and possibly a lower bitrate on that channel).

          You can't play a multiplayer game that requires you to chat over teamspeak or whatever over A2DP unless you really want to sacrifice ingame sounds (and the voices of your mates). There is also the issue of the delay that is inherent to A2DP.

          A2DP with its limitations still has great audio quality. For music (and general sound quality), A2DP is MUCH better than RF.

          There are some bluetooth headsets out there that offer both RF and A2DP, which sounds like what you are after. There's also the option of getting a microphone and having it sit near your monitor.

          These headsets at these prices are great. If I was in your shoes I would get one and put a microphone on your desk for chatting/gaming and use VLC or other program that lets you set an audio delay so you can sync up the video to the headphones and set it as a preset :)

          C0balt is absolutely correct. You cannot get good quality audio (stereo) and use the microphone at the same time - it's a limitation of the current Bluetooth protocols. The way Bluetooth is currently set up, you can do one thing at a time - either your headphones as a headset with microphone, or use as a stereo headphone for music/movies.

          You can definitely get a standalone mic to put on your desk and always keep the headphones in stereo audio mode.

          You can also get a microphone cable (such as this one: http://www.meelec.com/Headset_Cable_with_Remote_Mic_and_Volu…) and simply use the headphones wired when you need both the mic and stereo audio at the same time. It does kind of defeat the purpose of having a wireless headset but also has some advantages - you don't have to worry about Bluetooth audio being synced with your game and you can also have your headphones (if they are a Venture or Matrix model) connected via bluetooth to your phone at the same time in case a call comes in.

          Just FYI, we also carry the adapter you would need if you have a desktop or older laptop computer with separate mic and audio jacks: http://www.meelec.com/MEElectronics_Skype_Adapter_for_PC_p/a…

          Thanks c0balt + mike :) got 2 of the matrix. Hopefully comes in 2 weeks. Keep up the good work mike !

    It's just a shame that the charging is not possible via micro-usb, as most phones us it by now. :(

      On our next generation sets for sure.

    I just received my AF 62s yesterday from a previous deal ($30 more) and I'm really impressed. Very comfortable, great sound and the microphone is the best quality for calls I've found on any (sub $150 bluetooth headset I've tried). If anyone wants to buy my philips, kaiser baas or plantronics go headsets or jawbone icon earpiece let me know!

  • O15 on 18/10/2013 - 20:23

    Really happy to see this deal. Bean looking out for it, since the earphones deal.

    I'd appreciate some help choosing between the Venture and the Matrix.

    Was going to grab the Matrix, cause you know, more expensive is better, right?
    But then I saw the bit about the Venture having better bass. Now I'm not afraid to admit I like bass heavy music, so this leans me more towards the Venture.

    What advantages does the Matrix have over the Venture? Clearer audio? Better construction? Flashier case?

    I do prefer the look of the Matrix, but the Venture do not look bad.

    In regards to sound quality, I don't have super-high audiophile standards.

    Any help would be great. Thanks.

      the Matrix has a few extra Bluetooth features over the Venture such as NFC, Multipoint connectivity, and Bluetooth voice prompts. It has a nicer finish on the outside with the matte plastics, faux-carbon fiber inserts, and softer earpad cushions. In terms of sound they are similar but the Venture is tuned for more bass whereas the Matrix focuses more on vocals and instruments in the midrange.

      • O15 on 18/10/2013 - 23:16

        Thanks for the info.

        Purchased the Venture this time round. Look forward to them arriving.

        • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 19/10/2013 - 03:57

          Good choice! If you just need a no-frills Bluetooth headset without all the extra tech, the Venture is the better value in my opinion.

  • soakedintaquila on 18/10/2013 - 21:28

    Rep, I tried to ship to US Address and it charges me with an additional $6.03 as GST.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 19/10/2013 - 03:58

      Is the address in California? We are obligated to charge tax (currently at 9.5%, I believe) for all packages shipped within California.

  • dsp26 on 18/10/2013 - 23:00

    Was trying to figure out how I can use this with my TV… sooo….:

    Since they work wired (via 3.5mm stereo) I guess I can plug that into a wireless transmitter?

    any recommendations on a transmitter.. just checked fleabay and they all seem to be receivers only

  • firedolphin on 19/10/2013 - 10:44

    Hi

    sorry if this is a silly question, if I am going to use this to do online chatting on my PC, how would AF52 or AF62 handle this? because the old headphones I used all come with two cords for 3.5mm jack , one for audio in and one for audio out,whereas AF52 and AF62 only have one 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable as far as I can see? do I just plug that with the audio out (earphone)jack on my PC and the build-in mic will work?

    any help would be appreciated thanks

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 19/10/2013 - 12:05

      Normally you would just use them wirelessly so you wouldn't need any cables at all. Both microphone and audio will work wirelessly with Skype, etc, as long as you have Bluetooth set up on your computer. The headsets you were using before were wired which is why you needed all those cables.

      If your computer doesn't support Bluetooth, or you have some limitations such as the person above who asked about gaming, you can use them wired with a microphone cable (such as this one: http://www.meelec.com/Headset_Cable_with_Remote_Mic_and_Volu…) and this adapter: http://www.meelec.com/MEElectronics_Skype_Adapter_for_PC_p/a…

      • firedolphin on 19/10/2013 - 13:12

        Hi Mike, sorry do I need to buy both or the adapter is sufficient? I just don't understand why I need to buy another microphone cable when the headphone already has a build-in mic? thanks
