I thought this is a good deal so I would just like to share with everyone. I bought one myself. If you fancy the wireless version, it's down to $336 after the code plus $150 eftpos card. Enjoy!

Edit: I think the "i" is for iDevices only. Your best chance if you have an android is to price match with JBHIFI and just show them the website and hopefully and they won't notice the "i." Good luck!

    Is the eftpos card claimed from Sennheiser?

    • Izefyre on 22/12/2015 - 16:41

      Yes

      Just to clarify - is this only at JB HiFi? Reading the FAQ and it says JB HiFi only https://www.campaign.net.au/sennheiser_urbanite_promotion_20…

      "Purchase (1) participating set of Sennheiser Urbanite Headphones from a participating JB Hi Fi Retailer between 1st November and 31st December 2015"

      • Izefyre on 22/12/2015 - 16:58

        Yeah, that made me confused as well. You can't find anything on the website regarding the participating retailers. But check with other Australian retailers like harvey norman, they have this promotion on their website. http://www.harveynorman.com.au/headphones-audio-music/headph…

        But to be on the safe side and for convenience as well, I just got JBHIFI to price match. I asked for the sand color with no problem.

        • Cooties on 22/12/2015 - 17:17

          Yeah good enough for me - might swing past JB tonight and buy myself a Christmas present if they've got some in stock

          Get another sales person to help you. Usually these people are not hard to deal with. It's already on the website, what else do they need?? These kind of people shouldn't be working there. Went to a couple JBHIFI's around and not one person gave me a headache.

          @Izefyre: i've spoken to four stores now and only one is willing to price match (all the others were coming up with various dubious reasons). the only store that is willing requires a date and time.

      I don't think probikekit is an Australian retail store. UK i believe. So they're not qualified for the $100 casback. Good find though. Not sure about warranty with that as well. I think it's safer to buy Australian. You're supporting local retailers as well. :)

  • steve-oz on 22/12/2015 - 17:16

    If it's anything like the Bose headphones, if you get the 'i' version and have an Android, you'll just have two extra buttons that do nothing. On an iPhone they control volume.

    • CyberMurning on 22/12/2015 - 17:58

      Yeah I hate this whole button difference between android and iPhone, seems more brands has iPhone version!

      So jbhifi has the android version with all buttons working?

  • ozleb on 22/12/2015 - 17:50

    I'm worried about the touch control (i.e. on the side of the headphone cup) on the bluetooth/ wireless version. Anyone have any experiences with it? I've read that it can get annoying because of the sensitivity and there's no way to disable the touch controller.

    • CyberMurning on 22/12/2015 - 18:23

      If you need bluetooth, check jabra Revo too

      • ChillBro on 22/12/2015 - 19:31

        Ozleb might not be interested in those since those are on-ears. Since you suggested them, I'm guessing you have a pair. If so, how are you finding them?

  • flyingtrapeze on 22/12/2015 - 17:55

    bought a pair delivery is $2

    I feel jabra Revo wireless is better than URBANITE wireless? Similar touch control but Revo has better specs, lighter.

    • Izefyre on 22/12/2015 - 18:50

      I actually have an idea with the eftpos card, it just came up to me now. Maybe you can cash out at a woolies self checkout counter and pay with the eftpos card. Can anyone comment on this if this is possible.

      • butterbuts on 22/12/2015 - 19:06

        It'll be a visa go and load card. Basically can use that where ever visa is accepted, which is everywhere. I paid for my headphones with one of those cards

      • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2015 - 01:06

        Yes, can someone confirm if this is actually possible? Would rather cash than a gift card.

        • butterbuts on 23/12/2015 - 06:36

          The load and go cards say you can use at ATM's, but I haven't tried. The new ones have chips in them and everything now, so don't see why it wouldn't work.

  • butterbuts on 22/12/2015 - 18:41

    Jbhifi wouldn't price match (prior to receipt being posted anyway). Got Harvey Norman to price match the wireless version. Cost $336.75 which will be $186 after cash back. Cheers op

The main things we have to look for is do they have at least a minimum of 2 stores in Australia and if they ahve it in stock. Unfortunately the one you've linked only has one store in Parramatta and due to this reason we can't price match it"

          @butterbuts:

          i have figured that everyone that could of price match with bing lee would have been in NSW, as Bing Lee, their physical stores are only in NSW. Harvey norman would not price match anything online from bing lee and wireless 1 as:

          1. they are a "online store" for other states
          2. its not "advertised price" as you need to enter the coupon
          3. Wireless 1 could not be price matched as well due to them only having one physical store

          They were pretty firm on their price match policies when i tried at three different harvey norman stores in SA. However, i did manage them to get it down to 370, which is still better off then the bing lee deal due to the Amex deal for myself (and for others that dont have amex, its probably best that you get it from wireless 1)

          Jbhifi wouldn't price match Bing Lee, but Harvey Norman did, so guess I got lucky

    These are on sale for $124.99 USD (172.60 AUD)(lowest price ever) at Amazon.com, but do not ship to Australia. It's $50 cheaper but you don't get a gift card and shipping forwarding may be expensive.

        Who knows, just thought i'd throw it out there.

  • Haxxa on 22/12/2015 - 20:48

    In reference to the "i-device" note, these headphones use 3.5mm so its practically compatible with all consumer devices; however the volume control will likely not work (may on a couple of android devices) while the play/pause button will generally work.

    So keep this in mind, this is a feature that is very rarely used by me so I bought it anyway for my (android) Nexus 5X.

    • CVonC on 23/12/2015 - 00:28

      can't you get an adapter to swap the connectors around?

      • Haxxa on 23/12/2015 - 00:33

        You could buy a new cable from Sennheiser as the volume control is in built in cable - this is only difference between models.

        • CVonC on 23/12/2015 - 00:34

          i mean on the plug end.. aren't there adapters around on ebay? i would've thought so

        • Haxxa on 23/12/2015 - 00:37

          @CVonC: Yes you can get volume control adapters for around a dollar but they aren't as nice as the integrated cable in-line volume control.

        • CVonC on 23/12/2015 - 00:40

          @Haxxa:

          no i mean just attach an adapter to the plug end of the in-line volume control to convert it (and not have to replace the cable)?

          something like this or this?

        • ChillBro on 23/12/2015 - 06:46

          @brendongl: I was strongly considering the plantronics backbeat pro.

          It has a crazy 24 hour battery life which is on par with the Sennheiser Urbanite XL wireless (25 hours) and vastly superior to Zik 2's 6 hour battery. You can get it shipped from Amazon for $200 AUD since it's been 'superseded' by the + version which is virtually the same except it includes an overpriced dongle which has no AptX support. Only thing is that apparently the round shape of the ear cups may not fit everyone's ears. This was why I was worried and went with the Parrot Zik's since I couldn't find a place to try the plantronics.

    Got a great overall deal!

    Purchased from Harvey Norman Moore Park the wireless headphones. Price match Bing Lee $337.00. added $20 iTunes card.

    total cost is $357.00.
    net cost is $357 - $50(amex offer)-$150(cashback)- $32(GST as I am travelling overseas)

    That equals $125 for the headphones and $20 for the $20 iTunes card

    Amazing deal!

      Great stacking! Should've thought about price matching with HN before buying from Bing Lee. I'm happy with $186 though. Let's hope the headphones turn out good!

    went to 3 Harvey Normans In SA to price match (wirelss model) and best i got was $370 (problem being we dont have bing lee here in SA) still got it cos of the amex spend 350 get 50 back. and getting 150 back from sennheiser. so essentially got it for $170.
