Went to the store to verify a counterfeit pair of QC20i that I purchased from Boom Beats online. Friendly staff at Bose Subiaco helped to write a letter saying that they were copies since they noticed it straight away. Will dispute with PayPal and get my money back from Boom Beats. I should have googled them before I bought from them as there are many threads on Whirlpool
Bose staff told me that they have it on special as well for $299 down from $399 so I bought a pair to replace these counterfeits. Their online store doesn't have the prices marked as $299 though but recommended to go and check the store out for more deals.
EDIT: Don't forget if you have an AMEX card and sign up to the offer, if you spend more than $195 at a Bose store, you get $25 dollars back from AMEX which makes the earphones $274.
EDIT 2: Just checked and the following stores are not eligible for the $25 cashback from AMEX. T&Cs
Thanks OP. How are these? Are they convenient to bring around?
