Dear OzBargainers,

Mike here from MEElectronics. During my last few posts I was asked many times for a deal on a few of our wireless headphone models, which I promised to do. Unfortunately OzBargain rules prevented me from posting it sooner, but here's what I could put together for an OzBargain-exclusive holiday offer.

The prices below include standard shipping to Australia.

Air-Fi Matrix2 (AF62) - $74.99 delivered after $30 discount and $2.95 off shipping
Note: This is the latest version with microUSB charging

The second-generation of our audio quality-focused flagship headphone, tuned for a neutral and accurate sound with just a little bump in the bass. It supports both aptX and AAC high-definition Bluetooth audio codecs to ensure as little audio compression as possible with every device. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, NFC connectivity, built in mic & controls, and wired audio functionality (stereo cable included). Battery life is conservatively rated at 22 hours play/talk time and 350 hours standby. It has just recently gotten some great audiophile reviews, for example from InnerFidelity and The Headphone List

Air-Fi Venture (AF52) - $52.99 delivered after $22 discount and $2.95 off shipping
The Venture is an over-ear headphone in the same form factor as the Matrix2, but it's tuned for more bass and lacks the HD audio codec support, NFC, extended battery life, and nicer fit and finish of the Matrix2.

Sport-Fi X6 - $44.99 delivered after $21 discount and $2.95 off shipping (out of stock)
The X6 is an in-ear wireless earphone from our Sport-Fi line, based on our best-selling M6 model. It is designed first and foremost for a secure fit in the ear, as well as sound quality on-par with our popular wired earphones.

Air-Fi Journey (AF16) - $31.99 delivered after $14 discount and $2.95 off shipping
The Journey is our entry-level wireless headset. Is is an earbud/earpod-style design. Very easy to use and secure in the ear, but because it's an earbud it has a slight sound quality disadvantage compared to proper in-ear earphones and larger headphones.

Note: all Air-Fi headphones feature built-in microphones and remotes for headset functionality

Promotion link. Coupon Code: OzBargainAirFi . All prices in USD. Promotion ends on December 11th. Limit: 2 items per order. When you order more than one unit, shipping is combined and each additional unit nets an extra $6 off (so 2x X6 units will be $83.98 instead of $89.98).

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

As always, I will gladly answer any questions as best I can in the comments below. I can also be contacted by private message or by email at mike(at)s2einc(dot)com .

All questions and comments are welcome!

      It varies by weight and also destination. Typically in the $25-45 range for Australia if I remember correctly.

      • Yekul on 08/12/2014 - 16:03

        Sorry is the fedex economy fine or does it have to be the priority for the few days delivery option? My browser i super old at work and only shows the very start of the shipping options, ie "Fedex international e"

        • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 08/12/2014 - 17:07

          The difference is only one or two days. I believe it's something like 5 business days for Priority and ~7 for economy.

    How is the new Matrix2 different and is that voice now turnoffable? :D

      Sorry, voice is not "turnoffable" :(. I have only heard the low battery warning a few times because the damn thing lasts so long on a charge. I can see how it might be annoying if you run your battery down a lot, though.

    Hey rep what would be the best option for connecting the Air-Fi Matrix2 to a TV without Bluetooth.
    TV has aux port

    • dan76n on 08/12/2014 - 15:22

      Hi jumped on the Sony B1G1F deal and realized my TV doesn't have Bluetooth so have been looking into options.
      You would need to get a Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the Aux out on the TV.
      Something bothersome I have also read is that Bluetooth headphones tend to lag which causes lip sync issues with TV viewing.
      Not sure if the digital sets like the RS160 would have this issue too?

      • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 08/12/2014 - 17:11
        +2

        This is the right answer. In the case of the Matrix2, you will probably want a transmitter that supports aptX because latency is lower on aptX than regular Bluetooth (something like 100ms vs 250ms). Both the transmitter and headphone have to support aptX.

    Sport-Fi's are super tempting!

  • bought on 08/12/2014 - 15:08

    I have a few pairs of the earphones. Really like them. But I have lost the ear tips so many times when pulling out of pockets or my ears. I wonder whether iI didn't clip them on properly or the design was not tight enough. Anyone else also had this problem?

    • Jorkus on 08/12/2014 - 15:17

      I have M-Duos. The only thing i don't like about them is constantly worrying about losing the tips cos the fit is pretty loose. Other than that, they're great.

      • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 08/12/2014 - 17:13
        +3

        It helps to clean the tips and nozzles with peroxide once in a while because the wax and whatnot building up on the outside of the earphones and inside the tips tends to make things more slippery. If the tips are so loose that they won't stay on at all and you're within 1 year of purchase, they probably ripped and we should be able to send a replacement pair.

  • chyawala on 08/12/2014 - 15:15

      The outer housings on these are off-the-shelf. Anyone can buy them and put whatever chipset/drivers they want inside. For budget designs it just makes more sense to go this way.

      Will they work with phone while also using a Bluetooth chest strap?

    Hi Mike - definitely keen on a pair. If we do need to send in the earphones because they're defective and under warranty, do we get charged for shipping?

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 08/12/2014 - 17:16
      +4

      Typically, no. If we can verify the problem remotely (via photo or video or whatnot), or it's a known issue, we won't ask you to send them in. That probably takes care of 99% of cases.

    Can we possibly change the limit of 2 items to 3? It seems kinda silly for me to buy 2 and get them shipped in one pack then buy another and get it shipped in another pack. I'd probably just buy the 2 and skip the 3rd.

      The limit is there because there's a hard weight limit on the packages we can ship via regular mail. A mix of Matrix2 and Sport-Fi should be okay though. If you send me a PM or email, I can issue a custom code with a limit (3) for you.

    Hi Mike, I've been looking at a pair of wireless headphones primarily for running.

    I have a pair of the M-Duo, which I love for sound, but find they fall out extremely easily even when walking, because of the bud size/weight.

    Between the X6 and the AF16, I assume the X6 would be recommended for exercise? Also, are the bud tips the same sizes as the M-Duos?

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 09/12/2014 - 04:00

      AF16 and X6 will both stay in pretty well, especially compared to the M-Duo, so it comes down to the X6 offering better sweat resistance and better sound, and the AF16 having less noise isolation (if you run in the street, with traffic, this is safer).

      The eartips on the X6 will fit on the M-Duo nozzles (it's a tight fit) but the M-Duo tips will be too loose on the X6.

    I have the older Matrix2 (mini USB). Seriously good. I bought them for listening to podcasts while out walking, but they're actually quite decent for music as well, which surprised me quite a lot. Not up to the level of my DT_990s or Westone UM2 IEMs, but easily good enough to use happily.

    • alvian on 08/12/2014 - 23:49

      I am looking for a pair of comfortable over-ear headphone. Some reviews said the cups on Matrix2 is on the small side and they sit on-ear (or the edges just touching ears) rather than over-ear. How do you find them?

      • mickeyjuiceman on 09/12/2014 - 17:20

    I personally bought the older version of the AirFi Matrix edition and it's a tough, high quality model that I have used on and off for over a year without any problems. Signal range is also quite strong; I was able to use it whilst mowing the lawn with the tethered device still in my house. Battery is quite good, doesn't require daily charging with regular use.

    The only complaint I have about it is that it's not the most comfortable headset. It doesn't quite fit over my ears properly and it gets a bit painful after about an hour or so of use, so I've stopped using them. I don't really have extraordinarily large ears but I do wear glasses, for whatever that is worth.

    Regardless it's a solid headset and besides the comfort issue, I'm more than happy with it.

      If you have the original Matrix (not the Matrix2), the pads are actually a little bit smaller than they are with the current one (maybe 1/2 cm smaller in total internal size). Doesn't make a difference for everyone, but for some people it's just the right amount larger.

      If you can confirm that you have an original 1st-gen Matrix and think that an extra 1/2 cm might make a difference for you, I can see send you a pair of the new pads.

      • jazoom on 09/12/2014 - 07:41

        That's some good service right there.

      • SeeKo on 09/12/2014 - 19:41

        Hey there, I have my receipt still in the box if that's what you're looking for. The Matrix 1 was the model that was able to both tether to your phone and another device at the same time correct? A larger pair of pads would be perfect!

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 09/12/2014 - 17:18

      Unfortunately it's either that or the cable flopping around, which gets old fast, especially if you're jogging. Still looking for a better solution than a cinch.

      Wireless range is the standard (for Bluetooth) 30ft line-of-sight in an enclosed space with a properly designed transmitter (like an iPhone for instance). Under real-world conditions with your body and furniture and stuff it's probably more like 15-20ft.

      On/over-ears typically have an advantage just because the mic element can be bigger. X6 is pretty good, though - the best of our earphones. Should be about on-par with a stock wired headset for microphone quality.

          We don't normally do backorders because it's hard to anticipate all possible delays and we don't want to make any promises we can't keep. However, I can send you an email when it's back in stock if you email me or PM me your email address.

    Damnit. I forgot to order and now it's expired. Now I'll just have to wait until the next deal….

      Store Rep Mike is pretty good. If you send him a pm with what you are after he might send you a code to match the price. He has offered to do this for several people here.

        Can't hurt to ask I guess. :)
