AUDIOSALE

Hello again everyone! I have got another deal from Sobre after a few weeks of waiting for this shipment to arrive from QCY's warehouse.

Unlike the recent bluetooth deals, you'll notice they're slightly more expensive, but these charge quicker, last longer, have a APTX codec (honestly sound more crisp and deeper when needed) and after testing these thoroughly with my own money, sound incredible compared to the AUSDOM and MPow that I purchased as well.

I'm not benefiting anything from this sale, only just organising these deals, but for local stock on QCY's, they're the cheapest around.

AUDIOSALE coupon also works on other audio gear, like their QY7/8/11 (26.95/29.65/44.95) and Xiaomi Piston 3 (26.95). This also includes free standard postage Australia-wide.

    Is the sound quality better than Xiaomi Piston 3

      Equally the same, I'll do another comparison tonight to get an honest review.

      • KOBH on 13/05/2016 - 18:49

        Please do more test with type of songs.

          When I have some time between assignments, I'll get back to you. Probably need a day or so.

          Hey PW, after testing withy Zhu's Working for it and Deadmau5's You and I, the base is more responsive on the QY12, apart from that, they sound comparable.

        • KOBH on 15/05/2016 - 00:39

          Thanks for the results!

    Is the 5hours pretty accurate.

    • KOBH on 13/05/2016 - 18:48

      I think 3.5 hours music time max.

      I've had roughly 4-5 on mine from sparing usage, but I could certainly do a battery test.

  • atlas on 13/05/2016 - 18:36

    Have you tried the QY8?

    • zkniiL on 13/05/2016 - 21:37

      I've been using the QY8 for a good couple of months now, and I can say for $30.00 they are well worth it!

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 03:03

      Tried the QY8 and that was my first ever Bluetooth earphones. Still have them and would recommend, but keeping them as a backup pair.

  • rakkihizoku on 13/05/2016 - 22:00

    Almost $10 cheaper from EBay at $29.60.

    Anyway you can price match? (Yes i know they are from China. Roughly 2-3 week shipping difference)

    • iridiumstem on 13/05/2016 - 23:19

      From Aliexpress, I grabbed them at $25 (with a coupon and shortly after, they stopped shipping it to Australia), so I wouldn't be surprised if you can find better price if you look at stocks from China.
      I doubt they'd price match though, since that'd probably be their business model.

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 03:05

      Gearbest have them at $33 as well, definitely go get them if you want to wait, but it's actually nice to have some certainty when it's being delivered locally.

    • KOBH on 15/05/2016 - 00:55

      I wouldn't buy from this seller with so many bad reviews.

  • Diji1 on 13/05/2016 - 22:34

    APTX codec (honestly sound more crisp and deeper when needed)

    Also keeps playing music a darn sight more than regular Bluetooth audio instead of ******** itself.

    Thanks for the code. Ended up getting the Piston 3's instead. Originally tried to get it from Geek Buying but it never arrived (PayPal refunded) then was looking at Dick Smith (kogan) but was 9 bucks for postage. Here, it was free postage so that's a WIN! Thanks OP

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 03:03

      Woot! No worries, completely forgot that it was free postage too ;)

  • rakkihizoku on 14/05/2016 - 01:14

    Do these come with ear fins?

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 03:01

      Yes they do.

      • magic8ballgag on 14/05/2016 - 08:27
        +1

        Why can't I find any info or pictures stating this? One would think with a product specifically marketed as sports headphones, this would be a feature that they would show off.

          https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CiY_nDwUgAA8AtG?format=jpg&name=…

          These are my personal pair. Included a few fins and its manual depicts its packaging to have them too.

        • magic8ballgag on 14/05/2016 - 14:47

          @EPICSALETIME:

          Thanks, but I still don't understand why they wouldn't advertise them as a feature.

        • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 14:49

          @tranqme: me too, waiting on an update from Sobre to confirm, but I'm certain they're included in black and white models.

        • magic8ballgag on 14/05/2016 - 14:50

          @EPICSALETIME:

          Can you confirm if the fins are inbuilt or an add-on piece?

        • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 14/05/2016 - 14:51

          @tranqme: silicon add ons, mine come off and spares are included.

          That's our mistake.
          I have just confirmed with QCY HQ, QY12 have updated the interface and added fins for every new model.
          All listing have been updated.

        • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 16/05/2016 - 12:03

          @sobredz:

          All good man, we were all happily surprised :D

        If you can watch this unboxing (In russian i believe) you never see any ear fins

        • Associatedsobredz @ SOBRE Smart Living on 15/05/2016 - 18:35

          Updated model all come with Fins.
          We are selling the latest model from QCY.
          Old models have discontinued for few weeks.

        • rakkihizoku on 15/05/2016 - 18:45

          @sobredz: Thanks for the information looking forward to having a listen to it

        • Associatedsobredz @ SOBRE Smart Living on 15/05/2016 - 18:49

          @rakkihizoku: have you order one yet? All orders have prepared and will be processed by Australia post at 10:00am TMR.

        • rakkihizoku on 15/05/2016 - 18:52

          @sobredz: Yes i have received confirmation that it was shipped

  • bernzsta on 14/05/2016 - 07:47

    Anyone with experience with the QY11? Looking at the 7-8 hour battery life.

      Here you go.

      • dbun1 on 16/05/2016 - 11:27

        The "let me Google that for you" link is so old and so lame now

        • magic8ballgag on 16/05/2016 - 12:01

          And apparently being lazy is more accepted.

        • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 16/05/2016 - 12:05

          @tranqme:

          I think bernzsta has a valid question, but I haven't tested or reviewed the QY11 yet, happy to do so when I get back in touch with Sobre

  • lplau on 14/05/2016 - 16:25

    Just received my pair from Aliexpress and the sound quality on them are pretty good.

    • rakkihizoku on 14/05/2016 - 16:36

      Did they come with ear fins?

      • lplau on 14/05/2016 - 16:36

        Yes, just make sure the ones you order is in the original packaging not OEM as those ones are most likely fakes.

  • rakkihizoku on 14/05/2016 - 23:59

    I'm willing to give these a shot they tick all the boxes when it comes what im looking for in bluetooth earphones without the price tag. Thanks OP

  • dbun1 on 16/05/2016 - 11:28

    How bulky are these when wearing them?

    I've seen the QCY8 review videos and they look ridiculous in the ears, but I have heard this is because they have the controls built into the earpieces, whereas these have the controls on the cable.

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 16/05/2016 - 12:02

      These fit in the canal a lot more than the QY8 and less weight since the controls aren't embedded in the right earpiece.

        Thanks. I'll give these a go.
        Have been eyeing these on ebay, but didn't want to buy from China.
        Happy to pay a bit more and get support someone local

    Just wanted to report back that the headphones came promptly - within two days - and they sound great!
    Really surprised at the sound quality at the price point, the sound great.

    Thanks again!

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 20/05/2016 - 10:58

      Great to hear! (Pun intended)

      But yeah, they pack a good punch for their size.

    • Associatedsobredz @ SOBRE Smart Living on 24/05/2016 - 10:35

      when you check out, there is a section call discount code. Apply it there please.

  • ASA on 27/05/2016 - 11:04

    Mine came very quickly. They look the business but they are quite tinny sounding. Oh well…

    • Associatedphamid @ SOBRE Smart Living on 29/05/2016 - 18:03

      Sorry to hear that ASA. I'm fairly satisfied with the quality though, should you look for an exchange?

      • ASA on 03/06/2016 - 14:34

        Thanks for the offer. I am tempted to as I am finding that the bluetooth connection to my phone constantly breaks up - especially when I turn my head. I have other bluetooth 4 devices which have excellent reception with the same phone, so I am assuming it is the headset. :(

  • AlexF on 05/06/2016 - 09:47

    Any chance you can link to its User Manual?
