Lowest price on record.

Their sound quality is really good I hear (Probably in the top 3 or 4 along with Sennheiser Momentum, Bose Soundsport Free & the Jabra Elite 65T). I myself have a Jabra Elite Active 65t and extremely happy with it. Price was the biggest thing that pushed me away from the E8's.

Be aware - E8 2.0 has been released, so these prices might go down as they look to clear out old stock.

Reviews - Techradar / Soundguys

Amazon have it for $263.60

Jb have them listed for $399

Good old Gerry has it listed for $500

      Oh.. how I have missed you JV! I always expect you to say something about my posts, but haven't heard from you in a while ey!

      Bargain - One of the best rated ear phones for sound restricted by ridiculous pricing (RRP of $499… LOL), have dropped to something more reasonable. so yeah… in my case, I see it as a bargain!

      & its cheaper than any other retailer including Amazon! And half the price of Mr Gerry Harvey

          Value is in the eye of the holder (or ear), this is cheaper than usual, therefore it's a bargain. This isn't OzValueBargain.

              That's why we have comments and voting on OzBargain.

              And as you can see from the negs on your comment, people don't agree with you, jv.

              Only 4 +ve votes proves my point.

              Your comments have more negs than this deal has upvotes. So regardless of whether or not people think this is a good deal, they think your point is wrong.

              This is a niche product for a niche audience. It will never get the same number of upvotes as a cheap usb cable.

      For someone who's been around here a while, you don't understand what bargain actually means.

  • eug on 26/02/2019 - 11:41

    I have this and the Gear IconX 2016. These definitely sound better.

    Be aware that it uses a master-slave setup though. The right earbud is the master - that's the one that connects to your phone. The left earbud then connects to the right earbud via magnetic induction.

    That means if you want to use just one earbud (like to answer a phone call), you have to use the right one. The IconX lets you use either earbud. That also means if you only use one earbud at a time (for podcasts perhaps), you can effectively double the playback time of the IconX since you can use the other earbud when the first one dies.

      • ulun-lpg on 26/02/2019 - 12:15

      Have you seen how large and bulky they are? The B&O is far more discreet. You'd be "showing off" the Bose way more than the B&O because people will be wondering why you have such a large thing in your ears. :)

      • kaio85 on 26/02/2019 - 11:54

        I personally use the Bose soundsport wireless as it is easier to travel with than any true wireless earbuds.

        They do stick out a bit, but it's not too bad for me, I can't see any reason to upgrade since they have the best sound, would say battery life isn't too great.

              @kaio85: Just FYI, Bose are generally known as being a Brand name, often being far more expensive than other options. This is still the case today. This isn't saying they aren't any good, but just completely negates your comment as you bought another brand to show off. Also FYI, they stick out ALOT.

                  That's fine, but I think the problem is your first post where you assumed people only buy this to show off the brand.

                  You then recommended another "lifestyle brand" that's physically more attention-grabbing and is also known to many people as a "show off brand".

      And only $250.

      • Juice08 on 26/02/2019 - 13:36

        $129 USD so likely to be much cheaper on grey import market or from those who don't need/want the free buds.

        • eug on 26/02/2019 - 14:20

          Yeah, there should be a flood of them on gumtree/ebay from March 8 onwards once everyone who pre-ordered the S10 receives their free Galaxy Buds!
          I'm guessing.. $150?

  • deksta on 26/02/2019 - 19:15

    Was looking at these about a month back but was turned off them after reading many reviews stating they have connectivity dropouts, I ended up opting for the Jabra's via the qantas using 2000 points and about $180. Interested to see OzB feedback on these as I may still consider them for my wife.

    • eug on 26/02/2019 - 19:26

      I do experience more dropouts with the E8 than the Galaxy IconX 2018. The sound quality makes up for it though, I still go for the E8 when I want to listen to music "properly" on the go.
