Lost my trusty UE 170/220 canalphones while travelling over the weekend, so while searching for something to help me survive the train trip home, I found these canalphones in Bing Lee which were marked down from $79 and thought I'd take a gamble on them. There were around ten of these on the rack at the Bondi Junction (Sydney) store where I first spotted them, and when I decided to buy some later in the day, there were a few pairs left at the Haymarket store I was closer to. Later found at Officeworks' website for $30, online-order only with option to pick up in store. They only seem to be available in white.

My impressions: passive noise isolation is similar to your standard Sennheiser CX300s, UE 400s and below, etc. The active noise cancellation is very impressive in deadening some types of continuous low frequency noise (e.g. air con blowers), somewhat effective on others, and has little impact on other annoying noises such as someone blabbing on their phone.
In the sound quality department, they're better than the harsh el-cheapo UE 200s, but not on par with CX300s or UE 170/220s. They have quite strong bass, but my sense is the bass isn't well defined - seemed a bit muddy overall at the lower end of the range. But these earphones will probably become my first choice for various situations.
Good find, but they're listed as out of stock at Officeworks online, so I think this deal is only available at Bing Lee.
