Not the greatest price ever, but seems to be the best for aussie stock at the moment.
Delivery option given to me in Sydney was $4.95 for express, or free pickup
All colours available for the same price Here
I'm assuming this sale ends March 14th as part of their Audio sale on at the moment
I do hear JB seems to offer the extended warranty quite a bit with these, seems worth asking them for anyone going to pick some up
What's the bargain?
These can be bought for $127 on Ebay.
I got them from there with the sitewide 10% off discount, making it even cheaper.
it says ships from Hong Kong but I got my pair 2 days after they were posted.
I realise OP mentions Aussie stock, still not worth it IMO.
Up to you, while they're good earphones I've heard they're prone to a decent failure rate so I would rather the better aussie warranty
$118 in catch.com.au
Is catch Aussie stock? Hard to tell since they have the generic message in their description;
"The item may come with an International plug. In this event, a 3rd party Australian compatible adapter will be included"
That's hard to tell too because the x3 doesn't come with a usb charger. Only a usb cable….
yes Aussie stock they got live chat and i just asked, the message in their description is about the charging plug types may not be the Aussie one.
and also yes, JB Hi-Fi OP in this case.
No they aren't…
Marketplace - Dispatch in 5 business days
Direct Import of International Model
Sold and delivered by TechWarehouse (Dispatched from Hong Kong)
Catch was selling from DWI (HK) up until about a week ago and then this company popped up… Interestingly DWI has stopped selling them on their website, they still have them on eBay for $127 however
It's listed on their page as Direct Import - if you think they're going to come from Australia at that price then i'm afraid they we're wrong
;)
I paid $119 from Catch in January, and got $20 cashback from Amex as part of their promotion, so effectively $99, including delivery.
It was shipped from Hong Kong, took 6 days.
This is just to put the $159 "bargain" into perspective.
Seems like Catch is grey import though, so personal preference whether you want local stock or not
I will go for local. I had a 5 month old unit fail (wouldn't hold for charge, 100% battery drop to 20% in 10 minutes) and got a new unit straight away from JB.
Bought these back in Jan. I asked them to price match against DWI, they said they wouldn't do grey market (fair enough) but they gave it to me for $149 with the extended warranty. So you could probably try your luck at asking for a better deal.
