For those who missed out on the JB Hi Fi deal. You can most likely get them cheaper by price matching at OW.
CamelCamelCamel.
Haha same here, had the FOMO after missing the JB deal.
I dont know if I'm happy or sad for missing both!!
Really, 15+ pairs of TWS earbuds is more than enough :D
RIP my friend who bought them at lunch agaust for rrp. 349.
I had predicted that it will be half price in 6 months
Olive colour is also available
Don't think those are the pros
ah yep you're right
Just missed jb deal figured id google and spotted this, went to officeworks and price beat the mofo
OW was outa stock luckily bought on Amazon as soon as they told me
Don't know why I bought one.
Wow wth. Thats a bargain. Nice find.
Too bad my xm4 is still going strong. But at least now i know…maybe buds pro 4 a few months later will be this price lol
Has anyone been able to price match with Officeworks? The two I went to (Sydney CBD) said they can't match with online retailers like Amazon.
That's not true. The price beat guarantee says they do online stores too. Worse case just go to jb and ask them to price match Amazon.
I didnt know OW price beat an online order? Can you get it in black from OW?
No good on Pixel 7?
Just tested mine (from JB Hi-fi) with Pixel 7, no issues at all. I downloaded Galaxy Wearable app though.
Thanks, how is the app? Much bloat? I am scared of Samsung ever since I got the original Galaxy and I hated the software, I'm sure they've improved by now haha.
Amazon's algorithm only just picked up JB Hifi's pricing error and adjusted their price now? Lets see how long it takes for the algorithm to work out that JB Hifi have put it back to $349…
Thanks OP! Price matched successfully at OW over the phone.
Did you call the store? or customer centre?

buds2 Pro or the Sony XM4?
I went from "I don't need noise cancelling earbuds" to getting both within a week…
Lol. did you try both as yet?
I am finding my XM4 on LDAC was very good on bass and latency but missing out on 360audio (you have to sub) and vocals were less audible compared to Buds2 Pro. It is also a better fit to my ear and looks nicer.
To demonstrate the latency, I played a number of DDR video on youtube with clap turned on and I can tell you, XM4 is the only earbuds that got the step and the clap in sync. My Buds2 Pro had a small latency between steps being registered and audible clap sound.
However, I can hear the vocal a lot better with Buds2 Pro with SSC codec and it has a very good bass as well plus the benefit of 360audio. The only thing is it doesn't quite fit well in my ear.
buds2 pro for the vast majority of people. Sony's "house sound" on their consumer audio gear have terrible high frequencies and boomy mid bass that muddies up vocals.
I have both and prefer the XM4 for sound. the buds 2 pro have more (and less clear) bass on my setup
I still have buds 2. Not sure if buds pro 2 is much better?
My question again plz, is it as good as old airpods 2 in terms of mic quality in phone calls?
The airpods pro isn't that good!
I’m looking to buy the 2nd gen. So they are better than gen 3 and pro ? Sorry but never used any so need it for my mac and iPhone. Thanks
That was the case for me yes, better in phone calls inly
Gone? cannot add to cart or buy now
Yep gone 😔
I can’t add to the cart 😔
Missed out :(
anyone got a screenshot of it im going to try get jb to match

Hmm, 5 hrs is considered "terrible"?
I have one of the older galaxy buds that have 12hr+ battery life, but only find myself wearing it 2hrs at most at a time
It depends on your usage and requirements.
I personally prefer to charge mine less frequently as I use earbuds approximately 2 hours a day.
Yes, I personally can't imagine myself using it more than 3hrs at a time.
You are still charging it once a week
Who uses ear buds for 5 hours at a time? Just put back in the case and use for another 5 hours after they charge.
That's not the point though, is it?
I don't wanna have to charge it after every 2 times I use it.
With wireless charging its literally putting it down on your desk when you get home, pick it up when you leave. Never in my years using various wireless buds have I ever run out of battery while using them. Its a made up problem.
jb still price matching as of 2 seconds ago
Buds 2 are really good except it itches my ear and gives me infections.
ordered and ready to return due to this issue lol
Is it possible to do that?
Yeah, I've had this problem with certain earbuds as well. It must be the type of silicone they use 🤷♂️
Any tips to be able to still use them without infection?
Buy foam tips :)
@Maths Debater: Do you know any that are compatible with buds2 pro? I don't wanna buy generic ones as they may not fit into the charging case.
Price shows 268?
Because it's OOS.
Not OOS, the deal/price has been expired, but can still be purchased at the higher price.
Hashtag technicallythetruth
also says expired 20 mins ago
Woops
holy shit thats dirt cheap. i bought them at costco for $240ea damnnn
Battery is fine for me. The fit on the other hand is so bad.
Cheers OP. Managed to price match with JB when deal was live on Amazon. Got an extra $10 off through perks. No stock nearby - paid $164.99, inc delivery.
mad dog it… I'm always missing these, even with the alert notification!
someone please buy me some next time!!! hahhaha
Thanks OP, managed to get one when it was still available.
Buy now, think later.
Thanks op
Order already Shipped, but via Aust post instead of amazon courier
So instead of next day like most of my Amazon orders it's estimate is 10 days away.
:/
Mine says it will be delivered tomorrow. Do you have an Amazon prime subscription?
Yep.
Everything to my area shows some rather delayed delivery windows
I expect a shortage in flex drivers may be the cause.
and when I check today, most of the same items I looked at yesterday do not have a delivery delay window
I'm assuming there was some amazon shipment issue yesterday or backlog which has now cleared as for some of the items I was looknig at yesterday had an estimate of 12th now have an estimate of the 4th (indicating a change from Aust Post back to Amazon Flex delivery based)
Own one of these but a black one. These things are great, the noise cancellation isnt absolutely perfect. If im at the gym i might get some of the gym music still be a bit audible. The only solution ive had is turn up my own volume, but at the same time i dont want to go deaf. Having said that battery life with noise cancellation on has lasted me about 4-5 hours usually, without it was about 7-8 i think, but its been a while.
Audio quality is really good though and i was pretty impressed when I first used them. I was transitioning from a Sony 1000xm3 to this as I wanted something that wouldnt fall off when I lay down. Fits my ear well, comes with 3 silicone sizes, so if youre anything in between than youre out of luck, but i doubt youll have problems.
Definitely recommend these, especially for this price.
Mine still says "delivery date pending".
Anyone has received item on the way notification?
Mine hasn't been shipped yet, but says will be delivered tomorrow by 8pm through Prime.
Yeah! Didn't need it but I got it!
