Use 10% off Myer Big W card to get a great deal on a great set of noise cancelling headphones. Otherwise still a very decent price at $319.20.

Reduces background noise by around 70% (roughly equates to 1 wife, however I must note they WILL keep talking to you while these headphones are on so I recommend taking the smile and nod approach. Disclaimer: Smile and nod approach not recommended if your wife has access to Ozbargain.com.au) LFF

    Crazy price…Also applies to QC20.

    Really wish I hadn't paid $351 at DJs the other week…

    • davestan on 31/05/2014 - 14:27

      I think only the QC20i's are in the Myer sale(online anyway). So you still got a good deal with the QC20's. Bose seem to be rarely discounted.

      • nexus4 on 31/05/2014 - 14:45

        True but they're the exact same headphone anyway except one works with iPhone.

        Nope, confirmed in store too. I got mine earlier this morning at Tea Tree Plaza (SA) after tussle with Big W in regards to 10% off Gift cards.

        $399 RRP
        after 20%
        $319.20
        After gift cards

    I've got a pair of these. They are must have for long international flights. Paid $340 at Myer Sydney just by asking the sales guy who accepted right away. Then got TRS for it.

    • lplau on 31/05/2014 - 23:45

      Not a must have, you can get other Active Noise Cancelling Headphones.

      I would say having any Active Noise Cancelling Headphones is a must have, but not a Bose one is a must have.

    These may be at a significant discount to RRP but I still don't get why people pay so much for headphones. Some time ago I bought two pairs of Sennheiser HD 201 headphones for airline travel and we've used them since on two RTW trips with great satisfaction. They have comfortable full ear enclosures, have excellent noise attenuation properties, no in-line noise and good frequency response from high altos to deepest bases. They were $25 (TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!!) As I said, I just don't get it…. You can still get these Sennheisers, in an absolute coincidence COTD have them available right now for $19!! (PS I have no connection whatsoever with COTD (or Sennheiser) :-)

      Do you also own a pair of Koss KSC75's?

      • cornucopia on 31/05/2014 - 14:56

        Ahh, no, I don't like this style of earphone, I'll only use the full ear enclosure type.

        • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2014 - 14:57
          +4

          And btw pretty sure HD 201's are passive noise cancelling headphones (at best). Bose QC15 are acoustic noise cancelling and arguably the best noise cancelling headphones on the market. Just the same as the Koss KSC75's are the best value for money.

          In conclusion, these headphones make the HD 201's feel like the ones you get free on a plane.

        • cornucopia on 31/05/2014 - 15:06

          Joking, surely. Have you actually tried Sennheiser HD201s? The experience bears no relation to airline trash headphones.

        • Miami Mall Alien on 31/05/2014 - 16:42
          +13

          Have you actually tried Sennheiser HD201s?

          I have (still got them somewhere but they can disintegrate into dust for all I care) and the only way I can reconcile your opinion of them, is if you have the hearing of an 80-year old Heavy Metal Guitarist or all of the headphones you've owned in your life have been under $30 dollars.

          You sound like a kid who discovered his first pair of headphones under the Christmas tree. The HD201s are pieces of sh*t. Case closed. Here's my lengthy rant on them if you want some more background.

          These Bose QC15s are not even in the same galaxy as those pathetic, tinny pieces of sh*t that the HD201s are.

          In conclusion, these headphones make the HD 201's feel like the ones you get free on a plane.

          I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd prefer airline headphones as they don't try and sell themselves as the be-all, end-all audiophile experience on the cheap. They're nasty-looking headphones and they sound like nasty-looking headphones do.

          The HD201s are dolled up with a lot of pretentious Senny logos and fake pleather looks, raved on about by clueless soccer mums and casual tech-geeks to no end and yet they sound like a cat dying.

      These are noise cancelling headphones. They are expensive but as far as I'm concerned the extra comfort they provide on long flights is worth a few hundred bucks. Makes economy class bearable.

      • cornucopia on 31/05/2014 - 15:03
        -6

        OK, I get that Bose have tricky 'active cancellation' technology but if my 25 buck Sennnheisers do virtually the same job with 'passive cancellation' insulation where's the justification for another $250?? Apart from the cachet of being Bose….

        • nexus4 on 31/05/2014 - 15:24

          Have you ever tried them? Trust me, they don't do 'virtually the same job'.

          +1

          You're right. Passive cancelling sounds better than active as there is no high pitched cancelling hiss.

          Apart from the cachet of being Bose…

          You do realise all the HD201s have going for them is a Sennheiser logo? They sound like any other no-name brand, bargain bin headphones you pick up at Dicksmith for $10-20 dollars.

        Yeah, I've never regretted the purchase..paid for themselves after the first couple of long haul flights .. I've had mine for 2 years now, a great investment. Also great if you commute on public transport.

        But yes, if you're not interested in the noise cancellation feature, listen to music in quite places, or only listen to music at high volume in public places, then your money would best be spent elsewhere.

    • lostn on 31/05/2014 - 15:01

      I still don't get why people pay so much for headphones.

      I gather you have never tried them then. If you spent 14hrs on a flight with these or any active noise cancelling headphones, hell even crappy ones, you would understand that what you have written is complete and utter crap. The Sennheiser HD 201 are what you would call a less shit headphone. That is less shit than the complete shit you get on the plane or with your phone.

    • iDroid on 31/05/2014 - 19:13

      Why all the negs? cornucopia was only stating their opinion - a valid opinion at that, and in a non offensive manner.

      Do those who have spent more than they need believing they will sound better feel that offended that someone would think differently?

      Although I'm sitting here wearing my AKG 702's I can not disagree with cornucopia. The difference in sound quality between $25 and $500 headphones is not representative of the price difference (and double blind test prove it over and over again), though my 702's are very comfortable to wear!

      I'm sure this'll get neg'd way down too since my opinion doesn't seem to match the herd here.

      • Miami Mall Alien on 31/05/2014 - 19:31

        a valid opinion at that, and in a non offensive manner.

        He was stating it in a very cocksure manner when it's plainly obvious the guy has never tried a pair of serious, audiophile headphones that cost more than $80, let alone some good-quality noise cancelling ones.

        Then he had the nerve to suggest what are quite possibly, the worst brand-new headphones you can buy, as an alternative.

        He's off his rocker if he thinks his bargain-bin Sennys are a serious alternative to these.

        • iDroid on 31/05/2014 - 21:00

          Fair call :)

          I admit I've never tried the Sennheiser HD 201 so I can't comment on them specifically.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2014 - 12:38

      Remember you'll need receipts totaling a minimum of $300 from a single store. The $270 receipt alone wont be eligible, you'll need to spend another $30.

    The noise cancelling on these is mind blowing. Sound quality is very good too.

    • lostn on 31/05/2014 - 18:31

      Agreed on the noise canceling. It makes what you're listening to actually audible when you're in crowds. Without them I'd have to turn up the audio to drown out the noise, which is not good for your ears.

      In a car park it sounds like everyone is driving around in hybrids. You can't hear their engines until they rev them.

      It depends on which sale it is referring to.

      Myer keeps having sales which coincide with each other, so the sale might not actually be part of the 1 day sale that they are having for 31st May.

  • lplau on 31/05/2014 - 23:39

    Are these able to block out Variable Noises? e.g. somebody talking or a baby crying?

    I know pretty much most active noise cancelling headphones really only work when it is cancelling sound which keeps sounding the same, e.g. the whurr of a airplane engine.

    • lostn on 01/06/2014 - 02:59

      Doesn't work as good. But it's still softer than when you have it off. When I turn them off, and the real noise sets in, it's almost deafening because the contrast between the quieted noise level and the real noise level is so huge and my ears need time to adjust.

      “No, it’s not quite as comfortable, not quite as quieting, and not quite the sound quality of the Bose, but the little 7b does manage to deliver the second-best listening experience of the bunch for me. I definitely recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b, a competent noise canceler with good sound at a very good price.” Butterworth was a little less enthusiastic, saying: “These are OK for the price. Average NC capability, OK (somewhat QC15-like) sound quality, pretty good comfort. A reasonable, low-priced alternative to the QC15. You get what you pay for….”
