Saw someone mention this on Whirlpool, so I decided to check it out myself. They're PC only, so they're no good for Xbox or PS3 users. I don't know how good these are sound-wise, but TDK is a good brand and $5 isn't a lot of money, so even if they're absolute rubbish, it's no big loss. They'd be more that good enough for Skype/Msn.

It's my first bargain submitted here so be nice. Please don't start a Dick Smith flame war or anything.

Edit: Turns out that Dick Smith have started their online sale a day early, so there's a whole heap of discounted games as well.

Update: Deal has expired, so it's been marked as such

    I was at work when the G27 came up. You don't what it's like to be stuck there watching the stock disappear at all local DSE's and not being able to do a thing about it…

      The violin is vanishingly small. I do not have a missus to share my disappointment, or to give me love for doing housework.

If you have a look in the physical catalogue spam, you can see the headset in the $5 bracket. Just hope that you are fast enough to grab one tommorrow morning.

  - matt_will_fix_it on 11/04/2012 - 11:07

      looks like they are doing them one by one, in order (cause everyone so far is before 11am).
      
      seems like there were a whole lot of orders around 10:45-11, so i just hope that the stock doesn't run out before they get to my order!

oddbaby on 11/04/2012 - 10:15

Thanks for the heads up on the rolling sale at DS OP. I just went in (vic gardens) and they had more gaming titles on special, though very limited. Picked up Uncharted 1 & 2 collectors pack for $7!! Also got Medal of Honor ($3.5) and Fracture ($2) for the hell of it. So that's 4 PS3 games for $12.50. Sort of makes up for missing out on everything last week.
j4ck on 11/04/2012 - 10:31

They had them in stock at the store I went to this morning.

Ughhh on 11/04/2012 - 11:58

Got order dispatched email this morning too. Picked another one up instore today.
Trying it now, is it supposed to make this buzzing noise when vibration is on (plugged via usb)?
- superforever on 11/04/2012 - 12:00
  
  Yes you have to plugged via USB to get extra bass.
  - Ughhh on 11/04/2012 - 12:02
    
    Yeh I know that, its already plugged via usb, but Im getting this buzzing noise.
    edit: the buzzing noise occurs even when no music is played.
    - mikelin on 11/04/2012 - 12:31
      
      try back panel 3.5mm plugin if u r using front one.
    - Ughhh on 11/04/2012 - 12:52
      
      Im using the laptop atm, so theres only 1 plugin. The buzzing stops immediately when I pull out the usb. Maybe wiring problem or something?
    - cyssero on 11/04/2012 - 13:29
      
      Possibly feedback from the microphone? Could also be EMI. Try a different USB port.
    - ozAzn on 12/04/2012 - 09:23
      
      double check all cables are secure.
      
      happened to mine, then saw one of the 3.5mm jacks 3/4 in…
- jpl on 11/04/2012 - 14:00
  
  It is very sensitive to power supply noise, in this case it pickup the humming noise from the USB. Try using 2 AAA and the powerpack. However with the powerpack, the bass is softer and will crack when volume almost to the higher end.
  
  I will open one and check if there is space to have a small hack to filter off the power noise.
  
  By the way, thanks op for posting this, grabbed 2 from the store this morning.
  - Ughhh on 12/04/2012 - 00:00
    
    Just tried using the powerpack, the noise disappears and bass is a lot softer, would prefer not have to go through tons of batteries though!
    
    I also tried plugging the SPK plug into the ipod and usb into the laptop - no noise at all!
    Havent used the microphone yet, but noise still exist whether it is plugged into the laptop or not (when SPK + usb plugged into laptop).
    
    Other than that, amazing headphones for $5. Thanks OP.
- TrendyTim on 12/04/2012 - 11:22
  
  I just got mine delivered, I noticed the same problem, but having it plugged into laptop USB and iPhone headphone socket no noise, even when not playing anything.
  
  So its a little disappointing on that aspect but then i didn't get it for the vibration feature.
dimefan90 on 11/04/2012 - 13:04

I grabbed a pair of these this morning in store, i didnt know what to expect but they are awesome. especially for $5.

There were heaps at the store i went to, i should have bought another couple as backups.

You can use them without the usb plugged in so they can be used with ipods, etc.

the vibration makes the bass amazing.
- superforever on 11/04/2012 - 14:07
  
  Is this headset will not work with only USB?
- cyssero on 11/04/2012 - 14:47
  
  I keep reading about the vibration, what is this? Couldn't find it on TDK specs but it sounds like it has actuators that react to the low frequencies.

  - Alzori on 12/04/2012 - 11:00
    
    Basically it's that. you feel the low and bass-y sounds vibrating on your ears. I am finding it very awkward, but whatever - it's just a feature I won't use! USB/Battery power is only required if you want the vibrating thing btw, so you can happily leave power disconnected if you only want actual sound :P
j4ck on 11/04/2012 - 14:24

Paid with paypal yesterday and….

Your order has been packed and is awaiting collection. You will receive an email with shipping information this evening which will enable you to track your order.

Canberra store in Civic limited headsets, wii's, DSi's, to one per customer. There was a table behind the counter that customers could not get to. There were only about 15 headsets in total. Picked one up.

Morley WA (the one inside the Galeria) had 20 left at lunch time. They were all out the back so I had to ask at the counter.

Just called DSE they said in their system my order has been submitted and in progress but still error under my account.

I think paid by paypal took a lot longer.

Received my order of 1 this morning, the vibration is hmm, interesting?
Daniel Plainview on 12/04/2012 - 14:31

Yup, mine arrived today as well - wow a LOT of headphone for even $50 let alone a tenth of that. Had to be a pricing error as surely the postage alone would have cost them more than $5 per unit. So out the back into the bin would have been a better financial result for DSE.

If you're not wanting the vibration definitely remove BOTH the USB and powerpack - you don't need them for normal use and you'll significantly reduce the 'feedback'/static sound you can otherwise get.

Sensational buy indeed - can imagine a lot of them will be hitting Ebay. :-/
PleasureMe on 12/04/2012 - 14:38

Got mine today, such quick delivery! One of the deals of the year so far.
Awesome packaging too.

Just listened to them, they sound great. Good bass. Although I dont know how anyone can listen to music with the vibrating on, it feels like my brains have been rattled.
