A pretty cracking deal on the new WF-1000XM3's ! Cheapest so far if you have the points laying around.

I already own a pair of these from JB and they are great !

Choice review here : https://www.choice.com.au/electronics-and-technology/home-en…

The ever popular WH-1000XM3 are on sale also but not the best deal around. https://www.qantasstore.com.au/p/sony-wh-1000xm3b-flagship-w…

        Yes sound quality is good - however a BIG warning is that they are NOT currently compatible with the latest Windows 10 May 2019 update which is build 1903. These buds stopped working with my Surface Pro laptop after the 1903 update. They connect but have no sound. Very annoying and Sony apparently don't care much to fix it at the moment as they don't officially support Windows 10 which is ridiculous imo.

        There is a workaround for Intel Bluetooth chipsets but out of luck with any other ones.

    I wonder how much GST will be on it considering use points as well and if can TRS as I am going overseas in 30 days.

    Is it worth getting these Sony in-Ear buds to replace the Sennheiser PXC 550?

    Will google be listening to my conversations? Is there a way to turn that feature off?

    • Poppin on 10/08/2019 - 14:46

      It's not voice activate so it's not always listening

    • cynicor on 10/08/2019 - 17:15

      Can't comment on the in-ears, but the over ears were a great replacement for the 550s. Working perfectly but so much better, so upgraded them.

    How are these for phone/conference calls?

    • DGAjax on 10/08/2019 - 14:51

      They are okay for the most part. Considerable amount of noise will go thru the mic tho if you are outside

    • Poppin on 10/08/2019 - 14:52
      +2

      Ok if indoors, bit iffy outdoors. You can listen too the microphone quality here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTsXMqz1Ik)

      • Ghost47 on 10/08/2019 - 18:04

        Wow surprised at how bad the mic sounded. He was outside sure, but this kind of price tag for that sort of quality in an unfavourable environment is mind boggling. Not the best indication of the mic quality in that video, he should have done an indoor test also.

    • cruiseronroad on 10/08/2019 - 15:50
      +12

      Personally I think they are hopeless outdoors. Indoors perfectly fine.

      Mind you, I've used AirPods, soundpeats, Powerbeats, these, overhead earphones and every single pair have had the same feedback when using outdoors, especially in the wind "WHAT ARE YOU USING TO TALK IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE"

      • Save Medicare on 10/08/2019 - 16:26

        What are the best for voice?

      • Agret on 10/08/2019 - 18:03

        I was using my Sennheiser HD 4.50 when going for a walk outside and called my girlfriend and she said she couldn't hear any of the wind or traffic noise, they'd be pretty good for indoor phone/conference calls

      • bchliu on 10/08/2019 - 18:37
        +1

        100% agree with this. My Bose QC20 and QC35s do alright though in these circumstances and haven't had any complaints from the other side. It's so damn annoying that every time you are out in the street and a call comes in, you have to switch it to phone mode to talk or the other side won't hear you.

    • icejester on 22/08/2019 - 23:16

      I've got these and Airpod gen 2

      I tried a few calls with the Sony and the people have said it's not great
      The Airpods are much better for phone calls

    Purchased this via the JB commercial deal a few weeks ago.
    These are horrible for the gym, can barely stay in when exercising moderately.
    Noise cancelling is also not as good as the big brother WH model.
    Apart from that, sounds quality is awesome.

    • Chef Freeman on 10/08/2019 - 14:57
      +2

      Have you tried changing the earbuds?, If they aren't a optimal fit, both NC and the ability for the headphone to stay in won't be as good as intended

      • sklzthtklz on 10/08/2019 - 15:42
        +1

        They come with a few sets of foam tips that I've found we're better suited to the gym. Although it depends what you're doing; I'm only lifting weights so it's less jiggling than say, HIIT running.
        Otherwise I've found they're great, i love my qc35 but these just fit in your pocket.

        • spasto on 11/08/2019 - 10:25

          I have ruined my qc35’s ear pads due to sweat at the gym.

          How did you prevent yours from getting ruined?

    • tomlikesbeetroot on 10/08/2019 - 15:16

      May be worth looking into some comply foam tips. I have changed out the Sony tips for comply foam and makes them more gym friendly

      • AaronR on 14/08/2019 - 22:48

        Did you get the smartcore ones or a specific size? Comply haven't yet released info on which is suitable so curious what worked for you.

    • cruiseronroad on 10/08/2019 - 15:52
      +2

      Huey I have to disagree, I use the foam tips and have a great fit ! No issues even with 10km runs / regular gym sessions.

      Varied ear sizing makes this not true universally however.

    • ultraboyz63 on 10/08/2019 - 19:27

      You might need to go down a size or few in ear buds as I had the exact same problem until I decided (profanity) it and used the extra small ones. Fit way better and now is super snug and hasnt fallen out.

    • Serpeant on 11/08/2019 - 08:29

      Mate, I dont think these are really meant for the gym. They arent even IPX4 so sweat might not be so good on them.

      If you want the best wireless gym headphones, you cant beat the new Beats Powerbeats Pro.

  • akanian on 10/08/2019 - 14:58

    Can’t decide between these Sony ones or the new Beats Pro… I am not intending to wear them in the gym… suggestions?

    • Poppin on 10/08/2019 - 15:10

      The two things beats offers is more secure fit and the W2 chip, if these don't matter to you then I recommend these.

      • cruiseronroad on 10/08/2019 - 15:53
        +1

        If you are on iOS the W2 chip offers a great technology advantage but the Powerbeats pro are not fully isolating so if you want to keep the volume low WH are the winners.

    • xcvbn on 12/08/2019 - 13:49

      The wings on powerbeats still means you'll never have to fiddle with them to keep them in your ears. Sound is pretty good but Sony probably a bit better. If you don't have an iphone I would get the Sonys though

  • mdcsooty on 10/08/2019 - 15:01

    Third effort at ordering, had an eBay sale with delayed stock, got a refund, Goodguys sale, stock was damaged, was offered the Sennheiser but wanted NC so refunded, let’s hope this happens and that they ultimately end up better than ‘Not Yet Released’ Bose earbuds 700 with NC!!!!!!

    • chew_chew on 10/08/2019 - 15:17

      Was sitting on the fence, but don't like the wing tip that will come with the bose earbuds 700

      • Jasonissm on 10/08/2019 - 15:58
        +2

        Wingtips are so much better for the gym though. These ones aren't really designed for much activity.

      • gadgetguy on 10/08/2019 - 16:16
        +4

        The wing tips are the best feature of Bose buds IMO. Loved them on the QC20 and QC30. The 500 and 700 still look a bit big. Their sleep buds as functional earphones would be my ideal.

        As for the Sonys in this deal, there were a few negatives in Jim's review, no volume control, no water resistance, seal was not 100%, occasional static/connectivity issues and the phone call test sounded awful.

        I'm on the fence. Got 4k points I can use.

        Any current users got feedback?

  • SnoozeAndLose on 10/08/2019 - 15:02

    Just had very bad experience with Qantas store, brought air fryer and need replacement. They never response to email, call them said will get back but never come back, need to chase them to anthorise RMA then ask for the address to send the item back.

    After 1 Week of the faulty product returned, no response or follow up, need to call to check status and being told they would advise what is going on. Get email 3 days after and be told there is no stock and need to wait at least 3 weeks, reply email and ask for refund. No one reply until I call 1 week after and demand refund.

    The whole process is a pain, I would never buy from Qantas store no matter how cheap it is( I don't think they would offer thing that is dirt cheap)

    For the earphones is there any delay when watching youtube video?

        Jabra elite active has some level of water resistance and has volume controls on the unit. Sony's are better overall but these are a couple of features which could be deal breakers depending on use.

      As someone that has access to the supplier price of this, all I'll say is that I highly doubt it'll get much better than $240 for the foreseeable future. Even this is being partly offset by the ffp to bring it down to this price.
