Just noticed the sale on Brainwavz B2 at MP4Nation.

These bad boys:

  • are dual balanced armatures
  • are the flagship earphones of Brainwavz (in ear).
  • free fedex next day delivery
  • come with comply foam eartips (in addition to silicon sets)

This is the cheapest it has been since the pre-sale.

Local price is $189, with longer delivery times:
http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=556

The normal price on MP4Nation is $159.50.

All reviews I've read are very positive, for example:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/574125/review-brainwavz-b2
Also (for people viewing this from limited data plans/this one is a big big page - to summarise, it has similar scores to $300 IEMs):
http://www.head-fi.org/t/541204/concise-multi-iem-comparison…

For those of you familiar with Fischer Audio DBA-02, these are practically the same earphones (same shell, same drivers, same cable - just given a face lift by Brainwavz and made available for a much more reasonable price):
http://www.head-fi.org/t/492744/review-fischer-audio-for-you…

Looking at the comments on my previous posts, there seems to be plenty of ozbargainers willing to spend around $100 for a good pair of earphones, and B2 seems to be one of the best buys for that price range.

These are now available for $109, with facebook discount code ‘fb2012fiver’.

    Nice find, this is a very good price for dual BAs.

    I can vouch for the MP4Nation website, I've ordered from them loads of times with no problems, responsive customer service. If there is an issue with the product, replacements are quick and without any dramas.

    Bloody awesome price. Almost bought these the other day for the $159 price, glad I didn't, sold!

    Great price, for what's supposed to be an excellent pair of IEMs.

    great find, brought a pair and used referral code thanks

    • erd on 20/08/2012 - 17:20

      Cheers tuk! Hope you enjoy 'em!

    • carllevy on 20/08/2012 - 19:18

      Yep, me too!

  • cynix on 20/08/2012 - 17:21

    Total came to $113.52, not sure how to get the $109 price.

      Oh, that's in USD. I've put the AUD in title. Sorry, a bit confusing I guess.
      (So the price you see in your basket is right, should come down to around $109 AUD)

      • cynix on 20/08/2012 - 17:25

        Ahh I see. Thanks for the clarification.

        • erd on 20/08/2012 - 17:26

          No worries.

      • cynix on 20/08/2012 - 17:47

        Do you know when this deal will expire? I'm currently not in Australia and PayPal does not allow shipping to my current location.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2012 - 17:50

          I'll send you my address and you can have them delivered to me.

        • erd on 20/08/2012 - 17:51

          Not sure, sorry. The deals usually go for at least 3-4 days and this deal was not there on Saturday. So at least a couple of days more I would say.

          Does anybody know a workaround for this PayPal problem?

  • warwick108 on 20/08/2012 - 18:23

    should i.. or shouldnt i.. =S
    already have ie8 and also trifi 10's
    I hate you ozbargain

  • shiny1 on 20/08/2012 - 18:27

    Can anyone compare these to the Etymotic er6i? I bought them a long time ago and I still think they are the best sounding in-ears that I've owned.
    Tried RE-0, RE-1, Feels Pro900.
    The RE-0 were pretty good but the build quality on that thing is pathetic. First one broke before I even opened it!

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to any comparison between these and the Etymotic line-up.

    • plmko on 20/08/2012 - 19:05

      Balanced armature vs single driver. Totally different animal. Personally I feel balanced drivers give a more forgiving and 'fun' sound, where as single drivers tend to be more natural.

      Although having said that, I feel the Brainwavz brand's tuning overall is too natural.

  • hweita on 20/08/2012 - 19:05

    Bought a pair at this price last year, they are awesome for the price.

    Also have a pair of Etymotic HF5, the clarify of the B2 are as good but with punchier bass. Highly recommended, these have been my go-to earphones for the past year.

    • hweita on 20/08/2012 - 22:20

      Negs?

      I am guessing people who negged have not had Etymotics before or do not know what "punchy" means, punchy = clean, controlled with good impact, does not equal boomy… meh whatever

      These are great so grab them

  • nerobass on 20/08/2012 - 19:10

    I like my ue700s can anyone compare? I also have the triple fi-10s but don't like the fit and keen to move on.

    Any comments would be appreciated.

    • Blah00 on 20/08/2012 - 20:25

      Exactly the same question…it would be great to get an answer to this!

      • mattatnoosa on 20/08/2012 - 20:28

        +1 too! I was about to get UE10's but am interested in these now, how do they compare?

  • MilkWoman on 20/08/2012 - 20:32

    Oooh nice! I'm very close to impulse buying these. My UE700's broke last week. Anyone know how these compare? They look less fragile atleast.

    Edit: Dont mind. The person above me asked the same question ^.

  • garylau on 20/08/2012 - 20:56

    Wonder how you guys compare this with BRAINWAVZ HM5?

    • TZK on 20/08/2012 - 21:16
      +1

      Completely different ball park, but both ultimately can be summed up as natural. I have both.

      I got the HM5's for my studio for when im recording vocals. Excellent isolation and natural sounding. It was a very different signature to get used to at first (im used to DT990's), but now i really appreciate the clarity, soundstage and awesome closed isloation.

      B2's are my spare listening buds, got them in the last sale so only had a few days on/off with them. Very good isolation, very very clear, but really showed up bad mp3's easily. I also have the Brainwavz M2's and find they are my everyday buds as they work for all music equally, whereas the B2's were beautiful for some tracks and harsh and unforgiving on other tracks. With a well recorded artist on flac, the B2's shine.

      HM5's are quite big but comfortable. B2's fit well, but i wear them in reverse so the cables fall down, not up.

      I ended up installing techflex on my B2's cable (upto the y split) as i felt the cable doesn't feel like it would take alot of strain. They look sweet now and much more durable.

      My 7 cents….

      • garylau on 21/08/2012 - 22:42

        Is it a waste if I just plug it into my iPhone? Never had luxurious ear buds before…

        • Trance N Dance on 21/08/2012 - 22:47

          Theses are far from "luxurious" earphones, that being said they're not bad either. Although using a LOD and an amp will theoretically give you a better sound, for earphones like these there isn't really a big benefit and the money invested to do so isn't worth the improvement if any. Also the output by the iPhone just by itself is actually pretty damn good for something in its field and will produce decent SQ for a plethora of earphones/headphones. Amps are only needed when something needs that extra little kick to open up it's full potential.

        • AncientWisdom on 23/08/2012 - 02:08
          +1

          You'd have to spend quite a bit of money to surpass the iPhone's SQ, so just enjoy the combination and never look back!

  • yikes on 20/08/2012 - 21:19

    They seem to be $119.50 now

    I preordered mine ages ago (thinking that the price would go back up) and I've been mostly happy with them.
    I have noticed that they have a bit of sibilance, but that could be due to what I listen to.

    • fchis on 20/08/2012 - 21:34

        Thanks fchis, I tried to put the discount code in the 'coupon code' field to make it clear, but it wouldn't allow me as it was posted before. Oh well, don't forget to use it people.

        • fchis on 20/08/2012 - 22:08

          no pro. there should be a tick box where you cam choose to overwrite it as I have tried it before :)

  • jvisaac on 20/08/2012 - 22:14

      simple! more tablet deals ——-> more earphones required.

  • kbounce on 20/08/2012 - 23:03

    How do these compare to the Yamaha EPH 100? I brought a pair for $110ish a few weeks ago due to a recommendation from a friend.

  • renza on 21/08/2012 - 01:16

    I currently have the Hifiman RE-Zero (the limited edition ones). Anyone know how these compare? Are they way better?

    • tryonthis on 23/08/2012 - 00:11

      I had them too (up until a few weeks ago). I'd like to know this too!

  • ellave on 21/08/2012 - 07:39

    I've had these earphones for a year, amazing phones. Replaced some Shure SE530, the B2 sound much better

      • ellave on 23/08/2012 - 14:41

        I was completely serious, I sold the SE530's back then

    • wonga on 21/08/2012 - 11:12

      B2 > Shure 530?? I'd be happy to buy the 530's from you. PM me if you're interested.

  • AncientWisdom on 23/08/2012 - 02:09

    Dammit OzBargain, I already have the M3 and M4, do I really need the B2?

    • erd on 23/08/2012 - 10:42

      Yes, you do. Three is a charm.
