1450

Mod: Please use the Classifieds Megathread only to request codes., do not privately message the deal poster for codes.

Requires discount code from Student Beans (using .edu email): https://www.studentbeans.com/student-discount/au/bose
Applying the $50 off code at checkout will bring the price (of an individual item) down to the prices I have put in the links below.


Prices below have been updated to reflect current offerings:

Bose QuietComfort® SE headphones $289.95

Bose QuietComfort® 45 headphones (Black) $319.95

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 $329.95

Buying direct from Bose also comes with their peace of mind 90-day risk free trial* so you can basically return them for a full refund no questions asked after using them for almost 3 months (kinda… read the T&C).

-Note both the QuietComfort's don't come with the airline adapter anymore… Not sure about the 700s. Bose sells them separately currently for $9 here

-Also FYI Quietcomfort SE is just QC 45's but with a soft case, and only comes in black.

  • which one to get - QC 45 or 700?

    • +4

      I tried on both at JB and while they both felt comfortable, I went with the 45's as they have buttons instead of touch controls. I noticed even during my short time trying them on I accidentally used the touch controls at least once which I don't want to deal with.

      There are pros and cons for both. Plenty of reviews mention them. The biggest difference seems to be call quality while in a windy area, with the 700's being miles better. If that matters to you, maybe the 700's are better… but that's not why I bought them.

      • My QC35ii are perfect for most situations - great noise-canceling - more comfortable for me than the SONY with shallow earcups which hurt/rubbing on my ears

        except wind noise - which seems to be amplified through the noise-canceling mikes or something - anyway in a strong breeze I had to turn sideways or something to try to reduce the loud rushing noise

        dunno if this is better on the 700s - the price is closer to a buy for me

        although - just checked full price $369 - have white not offered here - if I like white I'll hold off that decision until one of my QC35ii decide to die … I could be some time …

        • Yeah honestly if the 700's had buttons instead of touch controls I would've got them instead. They're a better deal than the QC 45's at this price I think.

          • +1

            @Jayblesz: I think for QC45 you can flip the headphone up for portability.
            Also for 700 the earpad spoil easily.

        • +2

          except wind noise - which seems to be amplified through the noise-canceling mikes or something - anyway in a strong breeze I had to turn sideways or something to try to reduce the loud rushing noise

          You need to change the noise cancellation profile to 'low' in those situations.
          https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1625/produc…

          Changing to the 'low' setting will mostly eliminate the wind being picked up by the mics.

        • How's the ANC? I have the sonys but unlike the previous models they don't allow you to set anc to full if you want (so certain things turn it to ambient, I think for safety). My main use is music and blocking loud neighbor's bass or workshop so I like to get opinions of owners.

          • +1

            @xentar: No idea but you should make a formal complain to strata for loud neighbour base :) Very inconsiderate of them

  • Pretty tempted to buy. Confused between the 700 and the XM5 (Which i think will be atleast 100$ more than the 700 even on BF)

    • +4

      I'd highly recommend trying them both on if you are able to. Take some sanitiser and paper towel down to your local JB. That's what I did. Haha.

      I think the XM5's cup material is softer, as it was a bit more squashed from sitting on the display, but I found both of the Bose headphones were far more comfortable on my head (and I think I have kinda normal ears).

      One thing to note is XM5's (and XM4's for the matter) have the pause when taking off your ear feature, while I believe the 700's (nor the QC) do not.

      Also worth noting Sony's customer service and warranty policy can probably be described as garbage

      • Sony's earpad depth is pretty shallow. I find Bose much better in that regard for comfort.

  • +1

    Cheers OP!

  • +1

    How is the MS Teams experience with either QC45 or 700?

  • +3

    dont forget cashrewards at 2.1%, saved me an extra $5.92 off my QC45's

    • I don't think cashrewards will honor a student code discounted order

      • +1

        I'm just having issues with cashrewards straightup - it's activated on the homepage and then it clear's itself when I click on anything. disabled adblocker and all that jazz… unsure why but it's being annoying

  • Is anything different from QC45 to QCSE,except soft case

    • Apparently not, but only comes in Black.

      • +1

        wondering if i can do a refund for the one i bought 2 weeks ago, i have paid for 299.95

        • I love that bargain spirit hehe

        • If you used the StudentBeans code to bring it down to $299.95, yes you will be able to request a refund for the difference. If not, no since the listed price is $339.95/$319.95

          • @Jayblesz: Thanks for this information, you are awesome.

            • @An152: No wocka mate!

            • @An152: How did you go with the $30 reduction? Did you use Bose live chat?

              • @Kanari: Haven't chat with them yet, will try it later.

              • +1

                @Kanari: You can go to chat and ask for $30 difference, they will credit back to you. They will ask for your name, email and the order number.

  • +1

    For anyone interested, I just spoke to a sales rep on live chat and they confirmed the Bose SE are the same unit as the QC45's. Just a soft case instead of a hard case. Cheers.

  • Thoughts on waiting for the xm5s?

    • +2

      I'm looking to sell my xm5's and get the qc45's instead, I find xm5's fit not 'QuietComfortable'..

  • This or Momentum True Wireless 3?

  • the 700 makes you look weird in front of camera because the head band extend so far out. 45 looks more sleek

  • I'm not sure they ever fixed the multipoint on the NC700. Quite a bit of "stutter stutter brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr- Headset rebooting noise" happening.

    • I think there is an issue with the multipoint on the QC45's as well. Worse than the 700s IMO.

  • If you don't have a .edu account, request a code from the StudentBeans Code Request Megathread. Do not ask in the comments of this deal post.

  • Only the black seems to be in stock atm.

  • +1

    Thanks! Juts ordered the QC45 for my son, I think the hard case will be worth the extra $$ for him.

  • @tightarse How about 10% Cashback to sweeten the deal. Btw eligible employee portal might have 25% discount on 700/QC45 as well.

    Which would work better for more comfort for kids. Bose 700 clamping force being too much for a primary school kid ?

  • +1

    UPDATE - Purchasing through Cashrewards phone app and pasting the Student Beans code at the end of the transaction got me the $5.92 reward cashback.

  • This is tempting.. or should I just grab Anker Soundcore Q30, Q35 and Q45 if i am just using wireless headphones at home for movies and listening to music?

    I prefer wireless earbuds while out/commuting to work.

    Should I still consider the Bose QC45 for exclusive use at home or anyone have any other recommendations?

    • +1

      I bought them primarily for travel, utilising the good NC and quality/comfort, but plan on probably using them while studying or listening to music at home… I'm sure it's worth considering but it depends if it's worth spending ~$300 for something you might only use occasionally.

      Then again if they're as good as I'm hoping they are, you might find yourself using them more often.

  • Ordered one. Now hoping there are no shipping delays. Thanks so much OZB community and OP.

  • Any chance someone could send a screenshot of the reduced qc se headphone price? Im trying to get chat to refund me the difference… But can't get into my student beans account rn

    • All sorted!

  • Does anyone use AirPods as well as another over/around ear NC Headphones? Purpose includes Zoom/Teams and phone/tab media consumption. I sold off my QC35s and really want 700s but cannot justify having both AirPods and Headphones as they might have similar use for me. Really want to though, ha.

    • +1

      For me, I use AirPods pro for zoom, walks, or train rides. On the other hand, I use the qc45 on the plane, or while playing video games.

  • Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 (Black) $319.95

    OUT OF STOCK!

  • -1

    QuietComfort SE is the same as QuietComfort 45 ?
    So you save $20 and get a different (soft) case ?

    • Correct - Check my comment above

    • Yup, I also confirmed it with Bose support just now.

  • Couldnt make up my mind between the 700 or the QC45…bought both, at least i'll have 3 months to make up my mind. Anyone using these whilst working out?

  • 700 is crap if it's about sound quality, staging, etc. Worse than QC35 and sony XM. Grab QC45

    • +1

      Why is 700 crap?

  • QC45 in smoke grey now OOS as well, only white or black left. I went black. What are all the cool cats wearing these days?

  • I've been waiting for a deal like that literally for months now. Thanks a lot for sharing. I'll risk and wait until Friday to see if I can score a Sony wh1000xm4 for a similar price. I'll try them all at JB Hi-Fi tomorrow though.

  • Grabbed a pair of the SE's, feels like a low risk purchase with the 90 day trial period. Hopefully these stick, will be my third pair in the past year. Headphone hunting is hard work

  • Oh my navy blue QC45

  • +2

    Anyone actually have the SE? Ive got a 700, but want a wfh pair.

    Oh well. Ordered the 45 with hard case. Thanks OP!

  • +1

    Thanks OP, excellent deal and great price. Picked up a pair, xmas pressie sorted! These are good head phones. Have an old qc 35 which has held up well apart from a disintegrated ear cup which I've replaced. Super comfy and good sound.

  • Thanks for sharing, great deal.

  • QC45 is very tempting! Should I wait for Sony XM4 sale?

    • Nope.

    • I was thinking the same thing. Didn't buy yet but I really don't want to miss out. The price, especially with the student beans thing is incredible. I highly doubt the Sony's will get any close in price.

  • Thanks for this deal, I've been on the lookout and picked up the Qc45!

  • +5

    The link/product page for the QC45 still shows as $339.95 but when added to cart the price now increases to $369.95

    • +1

      Same with me
      edit: Product page now shows 369.95. They must have caught on and bumped it up

      • It still shows me 339, but goes to 369 when added to the cart.

  • Deal is dead?

  • +1

    Ordered the 45s. I had to place the order first at $319 and ask chat to minus the difference of the previous price. In the end, I still got them for $289.

    • How did your conversation go? I just tried and they wouldn’t do it.

      • +2

        I just asked if they could match the price that was listed on the site earlier which was $339, then applied student bean which brought it down to $289. Alternatively, you could ask them to price match JB HiFi at $339 and apply student beans.

        • +1

          Thanks heaps - I did it the wrong way around (paid with coupon then tried to get difference refunded) so it took a bit longer, but 2nd agent was able to help me out!

          Appreciate it!

          • +1

            @wallahcuz: That's great man. Glad that it all worked out. Mine just arrived this morning.. loving them so far!

        • where did you apply the student bean discount? did you give it to them over the phone or applied it in the payment link?

  • Product page says QC45s are 369 now?

  • +2

    Showing as $369.95 now. I'm going to request deal be marked expired. It's still $339 at JB so I'm not sure why they aren't honouring yesterday's price match, but you may still have luck trying it via chat individually.

    Still a good price if you have a StudentBeans code, otherwise you're better off getting for $339 from JB HI-FI (link is also in deal post)

  • Anyone else having problems applying the code @@? Seems none of them r working even it’s fresh

  • What’s difference between 700 and SE?

  • +2

    with Coles TCN card 15%, it'll be better than this deal. 339 * 0.85 = 288.15

  • Couldn't get for $289

    Me: Sorry this amount is still for $319
    Me: But it's supposed to be for $289

      …how?

    • No way!

    • Same! It arrived today

  • Has anyone had their order shipped yet?

    • My order placed on Sunday (before this deal) was only shipped this afternoon. Given the volume they moved with this deal and the price match I'd be lenient with their 1-2* day policy… But I'd hope people who ordered yesterday or today will have their order despatched before Friday.

      They ship via Startrack so it should be fast once it's despatched, but mine took 2 business days to despatch.

    • I placed my order on Monday thanks to this deal and have just received them! I'm in Adelaide.

      • +1

        Wow! Not sure why mine was delayed. Maybe they didn't order them properly and mine was processed after the huge influx when I posted this deal since I ordered on the weekend…

        Chat advised me they would be delivered tomorrow even though parcel is still in Sydney as of 3 hours ago… So that's… Hopeful anyway!

  • Got mine delivered today! In Perth

    • +1

      Finally got mine this arvo too. Took a while, but am Stoked!

  • I have updated the contents and pricing to reflect the current, slightly less good deal, but still a great price and better than anywhere else, especially for the NC 700's.
