Just bought this latest white version highly recommended headphones from the at lounge Westfield Sydney on Pitt St. The cheapest price I found elsewhere is addictedtoaudio online store which selling it $189 and they haven't got stock yet. I asked at lounge girl if they can match online store price and she offered $169.

    Many people have been able to use the above to price match at Audio Technica Lounge.

    Great Story!!…So, how do we buy?

    website doesn't offer buying just Q&A facts……

    • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 17:03

      Just walk to the at lounge and ask price matching. If you are not in Sydney then use http://www.addictedtoaudio.com.au/AudioTechnica-ATHM50-White…
      that's the only elsewhere selling this white version as far as I know but it sells it $189 with free express shipping and haven't got stock based on their email response this morning.

      It's an interesting story. I pre-ordered it with at lounge a while ago and asked price matching $189. Today just passed by and check if stock arrived but got answer "need to wait another 1-2 months". An hour later the girl called back and apologized she didn't realize it's in stock already. Asked price matching and she offered $169 herself. She might match it to black version but do I mind? :)

        Sorry if I missing something, but which online store did you price match with, that offers the white M50 for $169?

        • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 19:32

          none but you can try online store to match at lounge price ;)

        • illusionarybreeze on 27/04/2012 - 19:43

          So you mean the listed price at the lounge is $169? Sorry, I'm still confused.

        • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 19:55

          at lounge public listed price $249 and I asked price matching to online store but didn't mention how much exactly. the girl at lounge just offered $169 herself and I took it.

          may depends on staff. previously when I pre-ordered, the male staff said he can't match until I get exact online store price.

        • illusionarybreeze on 27/04/2012 - 23:36

          oh I see now! haha, your transaction didn't really follow the typical price-matching routine. More like you just bargained with her. I'm surprised she just offered $169 herself though.

          Would you mind posting a receipt or invoice?

        • shraky on 28/04/2012 - 18:19

          pm me and I send invoice copy to your email.

    Are these better than the AD700?

    • vicerum on 27/04/2012 - 19:01

      I would say no, sound quality is very similar (both sound fantastic BTW), but the M50's clamp too hard on the ears. The AD700 are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.

    • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 19:30

      M50 is closed. AD700 is open. Personally I can't stand wearing open headphones on train/bus and I don't think other passengers sitting next to me can stand it either.

    Overpriced piece of crappy headphones.

    • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 19:34

      based on what?

    • hyPROglo_ on 03/05/2012 - 01:36

      Im guessing your also a Beats kinda guy?

    • shraky on 27/04/2012 - 19:36

      me too! but ozbargain might be not the right place to look for this product

  • c4ppuc1nn0 on 27/04/2012 - 18:31

    So this deal is called a bargain because of price matching?

    I thought this post could be useful to share with other people who are interested to buy this model. It's totally rubbish if you are not interested at all. So do some comments

      Pricematching is not a "bargain", else Ozbargain would have be full of Officeworks price matches, every pencil, every pen, one for every product they successfully pricematched.

        If you read more carefully it's a real bargain:

        "Therefore, instead of posting the price match as a bargain, the real deal should be from the merchant who is offering the lowest price. "

        I got the lowest price as nowhere else has this offer and other readers can use my thread to seek other provider matching my price.
