  • How do these compare to Jabra Elite 85t, which are also on sale for $260?
    From the specs, they are pretty much on par.

    I've had 65t for several year now and love them and was never going to get any others except a newer version of those, which is now 85t, but I'm now wondering how they compare to these Sony ones.

    • They wouldn't compare. These Sonys are on par with Airpods Pro 2, some would say the NC is superior. You'll find the XM4s on top of many rankings.

      • -4

        Lol honestly, that doesn't mean much to me. I've never owned any Airpods so I have no idea how good or bad they are and I'm not sure what NC is either.
        Not being ignorant, its just that I've had these 65t ones for years and these are the only thing i can compare to.

        • +1

          Well, it should. Do you really think the Jabras would compare to Airpods Pro 2? NC is noise cancelling. Check out a few reviews and you'll get the idea.

    • Some reviewers don't like Jabras

  • Even though I also have Airpods Pro I couldn't resist, bought!

  • Is this more comfortable to wear than the WF-1000XM3? I have a pair of 1000XM3 and I was in so much pain when wearing it.

    • Yes, although I never had pain with my XM3s

    • Wondering the same. I find the xm3 a bit uncomfortable to wear.

  • good upgrade from Jaybird Vista? had them for a couple years but looking for an upgrade

  • How do these compare to the galaxy buds pro 2? I've used galaxy buds since they were first released and currently use buds pro but was wanting the buds pro 2. But seen this deal.

    • +1

      I compared on soundguys review and they are similar. Difference being buds pro 2 have Samsung only features such as 24 bit rate or something and XM4 have better ANC filtering than buds pro 2. Buds pro 2 have Bluetooth 5.3 and XM4 has 5.2

      • I ended up buying the buds pro 2 yesterday and they are a massive improvement on the buds pro. ANC is pretty damn good, I literally just had my co-worker walk in the office and say hello to me twice apparently it was on my her putting her bag on the desk that made me look up lol

  • Just keep an eye on the battery life of each side. There's an outstanding issue where one side can have it's battery more or less ruined somehow.

    Should be fine so long as you don't use them for extended periods on firmware 1.4.2 it seems.

  • +1

    PSA for those with fit issues I recommend comply foam tips made for this model Comply TrueGrip Pro Memory Foam Tips for All Sony True Wireless EARBUDS.

    Yes they're expensive but for good reason (the foam moulds into the shape of your outer ear canal). They also improve soundstage because of the tiny air pockets in the foam, rather than driving the sound straight into your ear canal.

  • bought one … for its price..

  • I got it price matched at JB Hi-Fi

    • +1

      luck you. i tried and they told me:

      Hi ……., "i won't be able to do this since it's only for amazon prime members and need to sign in to recive this discount". Not very helpful

      • +1

        If you're not really a prime member the rep does make a very good point lol.

        • I was but just bought it anyway as I can always cancel the order or return it if I change my mind. Just made it by a hair as they were all sold out soon after.

  • I've never owned a pair of wireless buds.

    Im a bit of a sound snob. Always have tuned sound systems in my car and prefer Audio Technica open back (Wide sound stage and even EQ) headphones for gaming and chilling.

    Reviews seem decent for sound quality on these. Curious if there are any audiophiles in here with opinions on them?

    • Curious too as I am tossing up between this and the Jabra Elite 7 Pro which has good sound reviews on rtings.com but low exposure whenever I search up anything like best earbuds AU

    • I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but I own a Sennheiser HD 599 and a Philips SHP9500 connected to a DAC for music/gaming and these headphones impressed me so much that I use them everyday now.

    • +1

      For Audiophiles most popular choice are the Lypertek brand, best budget TWE that's focused on Audio. Heaps of reviews online…even crinacle puts them as best budget choice.

  • Why can't i get these for $229?
    In my cart they are showing as $229, but when i proceed to the checkout, they are $298.
    I tried several times and not sure why its doing that.

    • +1

      Items: $298.00
      Delivery: $0.00
      Total: $298.00
      Promotion(s) Applied: -$69.00

      • Yea just worked it out.
        $214 for me with an extra $15 discount from Amazon.

        • What discount is that?

          • @hawkeye93: Promo code when you spend $15 or more. Try PRIME15 and see if it works.

        • How to do that? I got $298 only for black.
          Thanks

          • @seniordoc: When you go to the checkout, a discount is applied automatically and it will bring them down to $229.
            That's how it worked for me anyway.

  • got priced from jb for $225 and $215 with perks

  • Lol i just tried to get them price matched from jb as well and was told not a chance as they don't price match lightning deals due to limited stock

    • Yeah they just make it up as they go along. I got told they can't price match if you have to sign in (prime member exclusive).

      • Yea i think it just depends on the person you get. Some are flexible and actually helpful and others are just not to put it politely.

    • The JB I called said they would have price matched it if it wasn't 100% claimed. Luckily I already ordered one from Amazon and just wanted to get it sooner.

      • Yea that's why i tried as well otherwise i didn't really care.
        Ordered one from Amazon anyway.
        Time will tell whether I'll keep them or sell them/give them away as a Xmas present.

        • I just wanted the link so I can have a few more hours to think about it haha. After getting the Bose sport earbuds and the airpod pro 2 the last few days I'm a tad bud out.

          • @djlee: Lol surely not all of them for yourself?

            • @wookie: They'll likely end up in the pile of unopened 'bargains' I've collected over the years. I think I should sign up to Shopaholics Anonymous.

  • Just snuck in my order! They're up to 99% claimed.

  • +1

    100% claimed now.

  • +1

    Thanks for sharing it mate. Looks like you did a lot of people a very nice favour by posting this.
    Now if only Samsung GW5 Pro LTE version in black colour would come up again on the same deal that it did on Monday when i just missed out on it, now that would be a very good weekend of shopping.

    • No worries at all! Hope y’all snagged one as a gift idea for Christmas :)

    • Where are you located?

      • Was that question for me?

        • Yep i might have a watch 5 pro lte available

          • @Turbonetics: I'm in Sydney mate.
            Turns out i know someone who gets very good discounts from Samsung at any point in time through work, so I can get it for $510, which I'll probably do next week.
            Looks like you are in Brisbane, so it wouldn't work out anyway. Thanks for the offer though.

  • Can anyone comment on what they're like when you're on a call outside, surrounded by other people and traffic? More the people you're calling, not yourself.

  • How do these compare to the new Bose QC II earbuds ?

    • +4

      https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/sony-wf-1000…

      Comfort: Bose are better
      Frequency response: about the same
      Bass accuracy: about the same
      Mid accuracy: Bose are much better
      Treble accuracy: Sony are extremely bad while Bose are great
      Peaks/dips: Sony are a little better
      Imaging: Sony are a little better
      ANC: Bose blow these away (the ANC king), but Sony are still good
      Mic: Mixed on both but Bose have better recording quality but worse noise handling
      Battery: Sony are better

      If I had to choose from the two, I would go the Bose. The ANC and significantly better treble far outweigh any positives of the Sony ones.

  • Damn just bought them for 299 from JB Hifi yesterday

    • Credit card price protection claim?

  • Damn cant believe i missed this one. How does amazon waitlist work with in regards to this price ?

  • Does anyone know how the amazon waitlist works? It doesn't get automatically added to my cart does it?

    • +1

      It doesn’t get automatically added. I had about 5 mins to claim the deal and add it to my cart (there was a timer). Then 15 mins to complete the order, before it gets released to the next person in the waitlist I guess.

      Purchased just then.

  • +1

    Back in stock. Just ordered

  • +1

    Are these ones having an issue with the battery dying after one year? Has this been fixed?

  • -1

    Shocking treble accuracy.
    The Bose QC earbuds are a much better buy.
    https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/bose-quietco…

    • They are more bulky.

      • -2

        But sound better…

        • Bose has better sound than Sony?
          Most people would say the opposite.
          You can EQ the treble to the way you like it.

  • I have Samsung buds 2. Not sure if I need to upgrade it. Anyway, the deal is finished.

  • +1

    Thanks OP.
    Got it for $196.15 @JB after price match with gcs.

    • I got it for $193.5 after price match. they price beat to $225 for me and use perks for $10 off then paid with this 10% off home gift card how can you pay with the 15% off gift card? the TCN can't use online

      • I price matched in store. Still good price for less than $200.

        • you can also use the perks in store just scan the bar code

  • did anyone manage to catch a screenshot of the price? I would like a screenshot for price protection claim if anyone can help.

  • +1

    thanks op got for $193.5 from jb with perks and discounted gift card

  • Well done for this finding. Just bought it literally this morning for $299 but didn't pay that much due to $10 perks and old unused GC.

  • +1

    I got this delivered today. It says TRA-United Arab Emirates in the packet. Does that mean that its a grey import?

    • I would like to know too.. received same labelling

      • I bought locally from GG and has the same TRA-UAE markings

  • Ordered these but the arrival date says the 9th Dec with no tracking information whatsoever…. And other people have already gotten theirs… Wtf.

    • Mine’s been sent via Aus Post with tracking but stuck in QLD since 27/11 with no movement.
