Bing Lee currently has a flat 25% off on all audio deal. Because of this a number of nice headphones are available at great discount prices.

But the best deal award should go to Sennheiser PXC 550

As per official Sennheiser website, the retail price is $629.95

However, at a number retail stores it is available between $325 to $399

Due to the flat 25% discount, the price further comes down to $299

Harvey Norman at castle hill was able to price match and give it to me for $299

This is definetely a stunner of a deal for a headphone that many critics and reviewers rate as the best noise cancelling headphone of the year with the legendary sennheiser sound.

The Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless turns every journey into a first-class experience. Enjoy Sennheiser’s trademark high-quality sound and NoiseGard™ hybrid adaptive noise cancellation, all packed into a sleek foldable design. Control your sound using the ear cup-mounted touch control panel, and an intuitive voice prompt system.

          From my experience they're a little bassier than a lot of Sennheisers (which are typically quite flat/neutral sounding) - so they have a more "fun" sound which you may or may not like. By most accounts they are better sounding than their direct competitor the Bose QC35/II but are not quite as comfortable and the active noise cancelling isn't as good.

          Hi, I've had these for about four months now. Whilst I love the fit and sound (upgraded from Bose QC 20) through both my iphone 6s and samsung s6, I had an issue with the sound from my Macbook Air (when using these headphones in bluetooth mode….it finally sorted itself out. I must say that Sennheiser support was pretty amazing - and certainly didn't just stop at the initial support call. The guy actually called me up and emailed me another four times to follow-up.
          I love the swipe / gesture controls…..very handy both an airplanes and at home…..
          Overall excellent headphones (and you know it's a bargain considering I paid close to double that at JB HiFi only four months ago).
          At this price its a steal.

          I've got them, bought them when there was a Qantas points deal. I've also got QC35v2 and audio technica anc9s, the pxc550 for me, these are better sounding, fit is nicer, micro usb charging and the controls are awesome, the only neg is the look maybe? these are plain looking very plain.

        • usbc activist on 29/12/2017 - 16:21

          @simonjb: How are the Audio Technica ATH ANC9?

        • EightImmortals on 29/12/2017 - 16:37

          @simonjb: How does the noise cancelling compare with those other models?

          @genuinedude:
          They are okay I'd never choose them over the pxc550 due to px550 having bluetooth and being rechargable. I think they are close to the same noise cancelling or a little bit less. I'm bias cos I basically love the pxc550 after using the anc9s. The carrying batteries thing is the main reason I went to the pxc550.For me, It's so much more convenient to use I battery pack that I carry anyway than a bunch of batteries specifically for my headphones. I'm no audiophile bit the pxc550s sound better to me in all ways.

          @EightImmortals: it's hard for me to remember exactly, I haven't used the anc9s for about a year. They are a bit 'hissy' though. Not at the level of the qcs or pxc550s. To compare the qc's and the pxc's I'd say I'd be splitting hairs. The pxc's does have addition modes I've never used basically less quiet. Probably better for when walking near cars or hazards.

    • incipient on 29/12/2017 - 15:40

      Got a pair myself.

      ANC - seems pretty good. Not life changing, but I'm happy.. Beats the hell out of my $200 don't ANCc but I've never tried a boss. Not sure if this helps =P

      Audio - i use these 99% of the time on the plane so audio quality is completely lost due to the plane sounds! In a quiet room i find they're pretty good. Easily on par with my Fidelio X2, if not better, especially with treble.

  • edshays on 29/12/2017 - 15:06

    I have read several times that the audio quality on these are better than both qc35ii and 1000xm2. However, in store, I found them to be the least easy impressive out of the three. Perhaps if I had more time I'd think differently. Who knows. Also, NC not as good as Sony or bose.

  • touchmylemon on 29/12/2017 - 15:21

    Must resist…I already have too many headphones.

      But…but this is wireless, so…so you can still get another pair~

  • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 29/12/2017 - 16:24

    These are the best headphones I have owned.
    Have had then for over one year.
    Pros:
    Dual level noise cancelling
    Comfortable fit for less discomfort for longish journeys.
    Excellent sound reproduction
    Touch control on right ear.
    Nice looking
    Better control through cap tune app

    Cons:
    Ugly, ill fitting, cheapish case.
    Noise cancelling is not the best.
    Have to fold the headphones for packing, and fear that it might break the headphone.

    • swapsey on 29/12/2017 - 17:26

      Comf fit and ill fitting ?

  • AlexF on 29/12/2017 - 16:28

    Does't support AAC codec over A2DP, so, not HiFi for IOS devices.

    • brando12 on 29/12/2017 - 20:47

      so its not worth getting if you have iphone?

      • AlexF on 29/12/2017 - 22:04

        Depends how much you value “HiFi”…. SBC codec is the default codec.

        • brando12 on 30/12/2017 - 09:34

          So better then beats?

        • AlexF on 30/12/2017 - 10:19
          -2

          @brando12:
          I use earmuffs with wired earphones underneath - cheaper and better than Bose, Sennheiser and Beats, combined.

  • imranauz on 29/12/2017 - 18:37

    Shows me 399

    • usbc activist on 29/12/2017 - 18:56

      The discount is applied at checkout

  • venkyraghu on 11/01/2018 - 13:25

    Just checked with Bing lee and they are saying that the discount no longer applies. So it is $399 now.

    • usbc activist on 11/01/2018 - 13:53
