OzBargainAirFi
Dear OzBargainers,
I've received countless requests to run this deal again since last October. We just received our first shipment of the new Matrix2 headphones yesterday, so here it is.
The lowdown:
- Air-Fi Runaway AF32 On-Ear Headphones: $44.99 ($30 off with coupon) - our bestselling wireless set. Available in 5 color combinations, the Runaway is lightweight and compact, and was tuned for a smooth, balanced sound.
- Air-Fi Venture AF52 Over-Ear Headphones: $49.99 ($70 off with coupon) - our entry-level over-ear headphone. It delivers an enhanced-bass sound with straightforward Bluetooth operation.
- Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 Over-Ear Headphones: $79.99 ($70 off with coupon) - our flagship wireless headphone that has recently undergone a major revision, becoming the Matrix2. It has a few extra Bluetooth features over the Venture including an updated Bluetooth 4.0 chipset and support for aptX high-quality audio codec and NFC technology. The Matrix2 has a clearer and more "Hi-Fi" sound compared to the more bass-heavy Venture. It also has a nicer finish with the matte plastics, faux-carbon fiber inserts, and softer earpad cushions for a better overall look, feel, and comfort. A full list of updates compared to the original Matrix can be found on the product page.
All of these have built-in microphones for headset functionality, as well as built-in controls. They can also optionally be used wired (stereo audio cables are included). The Venture and Matrix can be used while charging. The battery life of the Runaway is about 12 hours per charge, the Venture can go about 18 hours, and the new Matrix2 can do approximately 22 hours between charges.
Coupon code is "OzBargainAirFi". All prices listed are in USD. There is a limit of 2 per order and the coupon will expire next Tuesday, 04/08/13, 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.
Our packaging has been revised since the last time this deal ran so the shipping rates are lower. 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 $5 to the overall postage cost
- Each Venture AF52 or Matrix AF62 unit adds $10 to the overall postage cost
This means that international postage for two AF32 Runaways would be $8.95 + $5 + $5 = $18.95 before the $2.95 discount, $16 after. The postage for one Runaway and one Venture would be $8.95 + $5 + $10 = $ $23.95 before discount ($21 after), and so on.
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 was released last year and also has excellent reviews including a 4.5 star Amazon customer rating. The Matrix2 is only just being released now but the updates we have made are all based on customer feedback, and we are confident that it is our best Bluetooth set yet.
A note on compatibility - our headphones are compatible with Bluetooth devices that support A2DP for stereo audio. All modern smartphones and tablets (as long as they have Bluetooth built in) are compatible as well as Mac computers manufactured in 2011 or later. Windows computers are 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. The Matrix2 model also supports aptX, a higher-quality Bluetooth audio codec, as well as NFC. It will still work with devices that do not support these additional features.

Just a free days ago, AF52 was less than $60 shipped. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/138639
As the manufacturer surely u can do better than that. Honestly at current price point you are selling at, not a bargain.
