Just saw this at Brand Smart Nunawading, there was about 15 left,
Had to double check the price as its almost too good to be true

The shop mainly sells homeware and gifts and they have a tiny xbox/PS/game section, so I dont know what the deal is for them with electronics

Such low price me thinks it could be second hand or refurbished,

I already havea pair when they were first released so didnt have time to go in and check

If you do want one, better call and check whether its new/refurbished/2ndhand

        I tried to price match something in OW, but they did not price match because, they apparently want proof that the store has stock and want to call the store and confirm the same.

  • apu on 11/09/2019 - 15:41

    For those who purchased, were these wrapped in plastic (original new should be wrapped in plastic).

    Also the box looks a little older compared to my box from Amazon (my production date May 2019) so perhaps these were older stocks. E.g. "Google Assistant" and "Alexa" is hard printed on my box vs the sticker on the picture above.

    • UnderWaterLlama on 11/09/2019 - 15:47

      Yep true, but other than no Alexa support everything else remains the same. So still a really good deal.

    I bought a pair three weeks ago and returned them today.

    The ANC is great but for mine the sound is poor, just couldn't get past that in the end.

    • onlinepred on 11/09/2019 - 16:13
      +5

      They are the best ANC headphones, not the best sounding headphones. This is the case with most ANC cans.

      • XeSSiV on 11/09/2019 - 16:21
        +2

        I hope you guys EQ'd them before judging. Out of the box they didn't sound great for me either (too muddy/bassy), but after EQ'ing they've met my expectations nicely!

        • shbshb on 11/09/2019 - 16:41
          +1

          @XeSSiv, yes I used the equalizer.

          My Shure 535s sound so much better it isn't funny, just couldn't get past that.

          Not to worry, gave them a go and they're not for me. I know I'm in the minority, all good.

            @shbshb: Not only that, way cheaper headphones around the $100 range actually sound a lot better.

        • onlinepred on 11/09/2019 - 20:31
          +1

          EQ only balances them, doesn't add soundstage or dynamics unfortunately.

          Luckily for most, they just want v shape and have no clue about soundstage or imaging etc. So xm3 sells really well

          • Jasonissm on 11/09/2019 - 21:00
            +1

            @onlinepred: Yeah, also the EQ stops you from using LDAC or even aptX. Soundstage is largely limited with any closed back headphone anyways though.

            • onlinepred on 11/09/2019 - 21:07

              @Jasonissm: Yep these anc cans have the worst soundstage I've heard. Some BT cans have acceptable soundstage, but really you want open back for the best soundstage, but then they have weaknesses too haha

        • cacique on 12/09/2019 - 10:15

          Im sure Sony cares about the 3% audiophiles that recognise this stuff, but theyre happy to pay a few more hundred for that kind of quality anyway

          • onlinepred on 12/09/2019 - 10:32

            @cacique: Yep they make incredible headphones like sony mdr1a. I still have that pair at home. Like you said, most people couldn't care less about sound quality, hence why xm3, bose, airpods, and beats sell so well.

      • shbshb on 11/09/2019 - 16:39

        @OnlinePred Yes, I get that.

    • redcreek200 on 11/09/2019 - 16:56

      I've had mine a month or so and I can't find a problem with sound. I'm no audiophile though. As you say, ANC is excellent.

      • onlinepred on 11/09/2019 - 20:48
        +2

        It suits the general public who aren't focused on audio quality. Offers a great price, good sound and the best anc.

    • beatsntoons on 11/09/2019 - 17:40

      +1, though I've kept mine. Definitely better sounding ANC headphones out there, by quite a margin.
      These have the best ANC I've found, though.

      If you aren't buying them for ANC then why even buy them?
      I have cans that I use at home and in comparison the XM3's aren't even in the same dimension for SQ but regardless, I couldn't live without my XM3's for travelling & commuting.

      • shbshb on 11/09/2019 - 21:39

        I did buy them for ANC but I don't see the point in persevering if I don't like the sound quality, it's a fairly important component given I use them for music.

        Don't understand why people take offence if someone doesn't like something

    • almotions on 12/09/2019 - 09:40

      where did you purchase from that lets you return due to change of mind? I'm considering getting these but I'd love the option to return them if I find them similar to you did.
