This deal is local AU stock.
Going for $440-$490+ everywhere else.

Yamaha Wireless Subwoofer is $389-$499 everywhere else.

Notes: Blue Lola: Slightly odd clamping mechanism, comfort may vary. Mostly metal construction means they weigh a bit.

Has 3.5mm Analog input, but it is missing crossover adjustment.

Also available: Yamaha MusicCast SUB 100 - Wireless subwoofer for Yamaha MusicCast Soundbar $298 Delivered.

BLUE LOLA OVER-EAR HEADPHONES

SEALED OVER-EAR HIGH FIDELITY HEADPHONES
Lola is a completely re imagined over ear headphone that reveals new levels of detail in your favourite music. Everything from Lola’s revolutionary ergonomics to its massive custom drivers was designed for the true music listener. And since much of music you love was recorded with Blue microphones, we feel a special kinship with artists when it comes to delivering their music truthfully and powerfully.

WHAT MAKES LOLA SOUND SO GOOD?
It all starts with acoustics, because when it comes to great sound, there’s no substitute for the movement of air. We optimized every aspect of Lola’s design for performance—from large 50mm premium drivers, to the large enclosures that maximize the volume of air around the drivers. The airtight, 100% sealed enclosure consists of a thick wall that’s heavily reinforced. This makes the enclosures extremely strong and resistant to vibration and flexing, creating a stable platform for the drivers to deliver accurate and inspiring sound. Lola’s holistic design delivers full-range sound that’s tight and powerful in the low end, articulate and warm in the mids, and extended, with accurate high-frequency response that is never harsh or fatiguing.

FULL FEATURES
Visionary design for unprecedented end-to-end performance
Custom 50mm drivers deliver incredible sound

Must resist…

Do not recommend these. Leather on the ear cups started peeling within a year. Picked these up with the Blackout Blue Yeti and Lola combo for cheap ages ago. Blue customer service was great though, swapped them for Ella's because they had no Lolas available.

  Thanks for sharing your experience.

  Bought same Yeti + Lola bundle 2 years ago for $99 USD + delivery from Amazon.
  
  The Lola has the same peeling issue. Degraded quite horribly. Never thought to claim warranty however as from US..

    I went directly through Blue. They honoured it, no issues either. Sent it to their warehouse. New pair of Ellas in no time.

      Just discovered the Ella’s are Planar-Magnetic.

        @thebadmachine: And a pain in the arse to charge all the time. The convenience of having an inbuilt amp is not worth having them heavy and charging all the time to be honest. I definitely can't complain given my circumstances, but I would never pay near RRP for them.

        @OkayFray: I’m pretty sure the Lola’s are passive and miss out on this ‘built-in’ amp.
        
        OkayFray on 22/01/2020 - 18:29
        
        @thebadmachine: Yep, I was referring to the Ellas. The Lolas were much lighter.

        @OkayFray: Thanks for confirming.

      Thanks for the idea. Just sent through an email.
      
      Been 2 years and 1 month, limited warranty is 2 years. So will try my luck.

        @Trop: No worries, best of luck!

  Did the same. Those headphones clamp on your head so tight… its quite painful =\
  - OkayFray on 22/01/2020 - 00:04
    
    And no way to adjust the tension that I know of. The tension on mine is pretty good for my head, but I definitely notice some pain if they've been on for a few hours.
