Another option for people who don't have eBay Plus or don't want to spam F5 furiously later for this deal later today. Not as cheap as the eBay option but still a good price when compared to previous deals.

Looks like silver is $198 but is backorder only.

Edit: hluu0111 has noted that you can get these for $198 at Harvey Norman. Black, Silver.

Edit: Amazon have price matched HN. JumboDeal was able to pricebeat Amazon at Officeworks for $188.10.

      Shame on Amazon can't even beat Hardly Normal!!

      Using a pair right now. At this price I'm tempted to buy another for wife.

        Looks like Gerry got his way with all that lobbying for GST on foreign imports years ago.

      Hmm, I did have a quick look before posting. Hadn't had my coffee yet though.

    • ozbs25 on 25/05/2023 - 08:29

      I guess you could price beat at Officeworks? I don't think they will with the HN one as that is a clearance price. How much would it be at Officeworks?

    • boomramada on 25/05/2023 - 09:35

      Thanks, I bought it from my good old true blue Aussie instead of Jeff.

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 25/05/2023 - 09:48

      For 3 days only.

  • corgicorgi on 25/05/2023 - 08:23

    Are these better than AirPods Pro 2? I’m secretly lining up for 10am…

    • rekke on 25/05/2023 - 09:04

      No, in my opinion the AirPods Pro 2 are better for transparency mode, noise cancelling, comfort, ergonomics, longevity, compatibility with Apple, sound quality. These may be superior for bass. But these are pretty close for $180 less.

    • doobey1231 on 25/05/2023 - 09:05

      Nah, I don't think they are better, fair too because they are in different price categories. Probably the better choice if you are an android user, but its hard to beat the airpod pros in that price range, especially if you use transparency mode lots.

    • Grazz989 on 25/05/2023 - 11:41

      They're on par, if you're an apple user only. Read the reviews on whathifi for the detailed comparison.

      https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/sony-wf-1000xm4

      https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/apple-airpods-pro-2

      At this price, the wf-1000xm4s are a complete no brainer.

      • giventofly on 25/05/2023 - 17:58

        What HiFi shouldn’t be used in any purchasing decision

      They look Cooler than Airpods.

    I have these. They are good nothing wrong with them. They just stickout too far from the ear and are ony good for stationary use.

    • mg_k on 25/05/2023 - 08:38
      +3

      They stick out? You must have very small ears…

      As long as there's no stems I'm ok…

      I wear them to and from work and not once I'm worried about them falling out from my ears. Find the right tip size for your ear?

      The ANC is great and effective, LDAC + FLAC sounds awesome. I have zero complaints.

      • Jec on 25/05/2023 - 11:38

        I also have significant issues with the left earbud falling out - I've experimented with all ear tips, but nothing fixes it. YMMV.

    • rekke on 25/05/2023 - 09:05

      Exactly. No point buying expensive headphones if they are ergonomically poorly designed and aren't stable. Makes sense to spend the extra $100 or so and get something for all environments like AirPods Pro 2 that can be used outside, with minimal occlusion

    • boomramada on 25/05/2023 - 19:42

      I just upgraded from M3, fits much better and less bulky.

    • Evanlet on 26/05/2023 - 00:01

      Haha tiny ears. Use these to go jogging and when I'm doing bag work with no problems - great for all use cases.

    • Lonestar80 on 26/05/2023 - 08:32

      I have these for almost a year now and use them for everything like commute, phone calls, running after work. Excellent noise cancelling and never had them drop out of the ear. Good battery life, too.

  • mbck on 25/05/2023 - 08:45

    Too bassy out of the box. But once you tweak the EQ (plenty on Reddit/google to try), wow; the mids,lows, highs are pretty balanced.

    If I'm being super picky, I feel the Sennheiser feels more open and wider.

    Also has multipoint bt now.

  • ifreddo on 25/05/2023 - 09:07

    Have owned these for a long time now. Keep in mind they have multi point Bluetooth now. Can connect to two different devices, great for mobile + PC usage. Also a tip - if you find the foam tips uncomfortable, replace them with silicone tips. I was about to return them but once I got the silicone tips it was a game changer.

    • bosanceros on 25/05/2023 - 09:20

      Which silicone tips do you use and can recommend?

      • ifreddo on 25/05/2023 - 09:56

        I use the tips from my WF-C500 earphones. But you can look on amazon or ebay for a bunch of compatible silicone tips. Get anything that has decent reviews.

    Buying from Amazon will save you time and effort and kill less brain cells than trying in ebay

    • vaper on 27/05/2023 - 22:46

      Buy from Amazon the AU tax evaders or from Harvey Norman who pushed the government to impose a 10% import tax on us. Tough decision.

  • tofusana on 25/05/2023 - 09:24
    +1

    I own both these and the Airpods Pro 2. I will get straight to the point;

    Sound Quality is better on the XM4 for sure, but quite uncomfortable after long hours due to size and weight. I actually end up grabbing my Airpods Pro 2 most of the time SOLELY because of this reason.

    • KenDiaMoi on 25/05/2023 - 11:12

      Can I ask which do you think has better anc?

      Specifically for baby crying? Have some long flights I have to go on in near future

      • Jec on 25/05/2023 - 11:39
        +1

        If you're looking for exceptional ANC, go with over-ear headphones - they're just in a totally different league. Between those two options, though, the XM4s should be better.

  • JupiterSavings on 25/05/2023 - 09:28

    what are some good quality/value earphones for gym use or small ears? I always have them fall out

    • rekke on 25/05/2023 - 09:42

      JBL Live Pro 2 or AirPods Pro 1 refurb from Kogan/similar. Adjust the ear tips to fit accordingly

    • ifreddo on 25/05/2023 - 09:54

      Get Sony WF-C500. Small, very light weight, physical buttons. Great sound. I own these and use them more than XM4s.

  • GeneralSkunk on 25/05/2023 - 10:08

    Seems like everyone is going for these type of headphones rather than over ear cans. Is there a reason for that? I’m looking to buy some Bluetooth cans for air travel.

    • Techie4066 on 25/05/2023 - 10:15

      Mainly, they don't heat up your ears and are really compact - can fit in your pocket and not take any carry-on space. I could see you wanting over ears to plug in the aux to an IFE screen though.

    • mg_k on 25/05/2023 - 10:18

      Because in my personal opinion it looks stupid to use big headphones in public, more importantly I don't want it to mess up my hair lol

      ANC on these earbuds is more than sufficient to block off most noise on plane. not saying it's better than a good pair of ANC Headphones, but good enough IMO.

    • Jec on 25/05/2023 - 11:44

      For air travel, would definitely recommend something over ear - the noise cancelling is just so much better. I've never tried these on a plane, but I genuinely don't think they'd block out much of the noise if you're looking to sleep or something (I wear on trains - still can easily hear things, just muffles the noise which is actually perfect for my use case).

      • GeneralSkunk on 25/05/2023 - 12:26

        Thanks, I think I will go with over-ear. Sometimes I just want to use them to mask background noise, rathre than listen to something and I think over-ear would be simplest to achieve that.

        @mg_k - hehe, yeah understand messing up your hair is a good reason to get in-ear types.

        @Techie4066 - yeah the downside is heating up your ears, I've had that with my partner's Sennheisers.

  • Jolakot on 25/05/2023 - 10:35

    How do these compare to the Galaxy buds 2 pro?

  • OrderedChaos on 25/05/2023 - 12:54

    Can anyone comment on the call quality? Background noise cancellation to be specific.
    Sold on the Audio reviews, but need a pair with good call quality.

    Looks like the black version has been price matched to HN's price of $198

    • ozbs25 on 25/05/2023 - 13:47

      Yes you are right.

  • DingDong on 25/05/2023 - 16:19

    Any luck price matching with office works?

    • ozbs25 on 25/05/2023 - 16:26

      I reckon you probably can with Amazon, probably not with HN as they are clearing it. Having said that, I've never really tried price matching.

      • BewareOfThe Dog on 25/05/2023 - 18:02

        The clearance, might just be a special deal they have done with Sony over the next few days. I don't know for sure, but I've worked for a Company that had 3 birthday sales a year

    • JimboDeal on 25/05/2023 - 17:35

      I just price matched at Officeworks using Amazon. I initially tried Harvey Norman but they said no matching with clearance price so I whipped out the No u card with Amazon and it worked out to be $188.10

      • DingDong on 26/05/2023 - 08:11

        Sweet, I'll give it a go
