JBL Aware Sports In-Ear Headphones with Noise Cancellation (iOS Lighting Port Only) $49 Free Shipping JB HI FI - RRP: $299

1150

Had my eye on these when they were first announced, but was an eye watering price of $299.
Sport headphones with active noise cancellation, they use Apple's Lighting connector only so they don't need a separate power source and can draw power from the phone.
So yes, for Apple Devices only (so those that always whine when an Apple deal is posted "why pay so much for a phone…I have a cup and a string and it works fine" need not apply!)

For $49 I gave them a shot, did a 10km run with them and they worked great, far better sound than my PowerBeats 3 (my reining best pick for sports headphones) and I would sacrifice bluetooth for better sound and active noise cancellation. Good fit in my ears (which is rare) and a range of tips just in case.

Red, Blue and Teal $49, Black is $99 (which is technically still a bargain, just not a bargain enough!), free next day shipping on all colours.

    Have received mine these are actually quite decent earphones

    • Agreed, just tried them out and they sound fantastic. Ordered yesterday and received today - excellent work JB!

  • I completed my order yesterday at around 12pm and haven't received email confirmation.
    Any one in the same boat?
    I saw that it said 1 per customer but I bought one in Teal and one in Red.
    There's no call center to call for JB HI FI :/

    • I haven't got any shipping confirmation email but status is showing Shipped in my order history

      • Mine is still showing "in progress".

    • I ordered mine yesterday around the same time, they arrived this morning XD

  • Ordered Teal and got a confirmation email, but the email content is incomplete. There's nothing to say it's shipped but if I log on to JB site it says shipped. fingers crossed.

  • ordered yesterday, in the mail today = amazingly quick, good job JB

  • Received my order. Bargain for $49.

  • Received. Next day delivery. Super fast.

  • Looks like page has been taken down !! Missed it

    • You missed it by about 44 hours!

    • Back in stock!

  • Will collect mine from the post office today. Anyone else had opportunity to test theirs out yet and care to share their early thoughts on performance?

      10min test impressions are very positive.

      Sound nice and clear with decent bass if you want it. ANC seems to do it's thing.
      Very Very comfortable and secure (straight out of the box for me, so could be improved) Good length cord. In line controls are easy to use.
      JBL app is simple to use. App includes EQ settings with ability to do custom (10 bands). Firmware update through just done without issue (no idea what the updates are).

    Just tried again… all in stock.

    Ordered a red 😀

    • Nice. Black are now $49 too.

      I'm so impressed with my teal pair I grabbed the other 3 colours to complete the set. (1 spare and 2 for gifts, No reselling!)

      • Why did you have to tell me that. Now I own black as well…

  • Just picked up a pair. Still selling for $99 on flebay and they get great reviews so can't go wrong for $49!!

  • Where's the link for the black one?

    • Oh no! You'll never find it if it's not posted! Heh

  • Sound is really good. But not for $299 at all. Is everyone using ANC ? I tried but still hearing sounds from outside.

  • Thanks OP! Picked up a black pair for $49.

  • Hey thanks Op, great post grabbed a black pair ! Finally lost my old headphones. Stock almost gone if anyone else is interested only Teal and Black left. Cheers everyone

  • These actually sound pretty good at a pricetag of $49!

  • Yes for $49, perfect 10/10 headphones. $299 would be 5/10 at most.

  • Ordered one… thanks for letting me know it was back in stock 👍🏼

  • Does anyone else think these are not loud enough, or is it just me? thinking if my product is faulty :/

    • Check your source… I had a game whose volume wasn't loud then switched to a movie and it was too loud.

      • Tried different apps, music & settings ( volume check) but still not loud enough :(

        • Buy 2 to confirm? :D

    • They're not very loud, but are loud enough.

  • Used these on the plane yesterday and I was genuinely surprised at the difference when active noise cancellation was turned on. Blocked out all the engine noise! Very happy with the purchase.

    • I love 'me too. Purchased another set after trying the first ones. Will try them on a plane soon. Comfortable, well made and too sound for buds.

  • I finally opened my package today to find that the earphones had obviously been used and were shoved haphazardly back in the box. Went in store and unfortunately had to get a refund as there's no stock left for a replacement. :(

  • I just got notified of refund from JB for a blue pair due to no stock. Still got teal, red and black though ;)

  • Just gotta say, I love these little cans - great buy at the price we paid. Hope others are enjoying theirs too. Glad I purchased a couple - ripper product. Thanks again OP. They're getting lots of use.
