I was looking at these vs the Huawei FreeBuds Pro, they are about $67 more, but come with an in built UV light to disinfect them while they charge. They have an IPX4 rating also, which Huawei's either don't meet or they just haven't bothered with certification (probably the latter).
Another bonus to these is they have a AUX input on the charging case USB-C to Aux cable in the box (along with a USB-A to -USB-C), which can be used to plug them in to non BT devices and then you connect the earphones to the case and it broadcasts to the earbuds. We have an older Sony 9.4 MUTEKI setup that I can't bring myself to get rid of, it's a tad loud/bassy though even on the lowest settings and night mode, so this will help keep the rest of the house a bit happier, possibly, hah.
Exclusive review from yours truly:
Picked these up this morning, have tested with mowing/snippering, ANC works pretty well, can still hear it a bit, but better than expected. Have come from the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ to these. Definitely sounds better, though my SGB+s would be about 2 years old now.
One of my longest ongoing issues with BT earbuds has been them cutting in and out when i'm hiking/running, which seems to be a common issue for tall people (I'm only 6'1 and haven't had a pair of BT earbuds that didn't have this issue, Sennis, Sony, Samsung, they all did it to me), doesn't appear to be an issue with these. I've just gone for a walk hike to grab a cheap 6pack of Mercury raspberry ciders ($13 atm at Liquorland, they're not bad and 8.2% hah) as a reward for being a good boy and tackling the yard, and they didn't break up once. I think this is the first time in my life I've not had some BT ear buds not break up constantly with my phone in my pocket - use to just hold my phone as I walked to deal with it, but no longer!
Also tested out the ambient/conversation mode and it worked a treat, didn't have to take the earbuds out to talk to the lovely liquor lady, could hear her clear as day (ambient: conversation mode).
Am yet to test them for a phone call yet, but I'm sure I'll get at least one spam call today. I'll be a few ciders in by then, so I'll be up for a good yarn with whoever it is trying to get my precious apple gift cards today. I'll make sure to ask them how I sound.
From my searching, it looks like the last time they were on a deal (at least at JB) they were 239.
Looks like you can nab them on Amazon (the FP9 anyway, not sure the difference between FP9 and FP9A, probably just the Aus version?) for 205.46 delivered, but looks like delivery date is somewhere around the 4th to the 11th of august at present.
I'm a derp, they are on AU amazon also.. 209 with free delivery

The link you post is Amazon US, which comes to $189 with conversion rates and does post to Aus but obviously will take a while. I personally find Amazon US posting to Aus is not as reliable as the items on Amazon AU that are from the US but are sold on AU website.
Anyway, Amazon AU has the same price with JB (which is also the lowest as per Camel x 3)
One day delivery.
The UV thing is interesting, I pulled the trigger. Thanks op, will see how this goes.
