A Wicked Wednesday Deal on Bose QuietComfort 45 SE Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black), RRP $329

Sounds like a good deal to me, lowest price historically that I could find.

KEY FEATURES
Sound quality: High-fidelity audio with world-class noise cancelling
Battery: Up to 22-hours battery life
Enhanced feature: Soft neoprene travel case

According to Bose the only difference between this and the regular QC 45 is they feature a soft carry case instead of a hard carry case, and are only available in Black.

    Yes, these are identical to the QC45s, just with a soft case instead of a hard shell

      They measured differently at RTINGS though? QC45 > QC45SE according to their measurements.

        Maybe because of the inferior case?

      Apparently the QC45 SE ditches the carrying case but throws in a detachable audio cable with a built-in mic.

      • dingle on 29/05/2024 - 06:59

        FYI, recent software update gave the SE multi point connection. Overall, SE seems like the winner.

      • Hangryuman on 29/05/2024 - 07:19

        'built-in mic' ? I don't think so - that link may be a US article

        our QC45SE we got back in December 2023 came with a soft silicone cable with two audio plugs - I think a standard 3.5mm for a source, and a mini 2.5mm for the headphones - which I've used only on airplanes where I needed to plug into their socket to get movie audio.

        no mike AFAIK

        as for multi-connection - I just checked the Bose Music app on my iPhone for my QC45SE - the big advantage over the older QC35 which cannot use this/adjust EQ - settings, product update says 'up to date' - and Bluetooth Connections shows 'Multi-point Connection' as On, and two current connections - to my laptop and my iPhone - when I tested/tried to add my TV it said 'will disconnect' one of the existing connections - so I guess limit is 2 connections ?

      If you're happy to plug in the cable, I've found it works ok, but you'll ideally need to use another mic e.g. from a webcam. If you're hoping to use them wireless then don't bother, there's a bit of lag.

      I use them wired for gaming in a pinch now and then (where they're very comfortable), but I'd look elsewhere if that's what you're primarily using them for

      • pinkybrain on 28/05/2024 - 19:34

        wired usb or analog?

        • BenR31415 on 28/05/2024 - 21:33

          Analog - I don't believe it works over USB at all

    • sssx on 28/05/2024 - 18:39

      Casual gaming is fine, but expect latency in fast paced games.

      I have the QC35ii and don't use them for FPS games.

      • Salty Pretzel on 28/05/2024 - 20:17

        Even when connected by cable?

        • sssx on 28/05/2024 - 21:32

          Haven't tried connected via cable, just switched to my wired headphones I already had set up.

          I use the QC for YouTube/movies/casual games. Haven't noticed any issues with those usecases.

    As much as this is a good deal I am keen on the Bose QC Ultra. I lir hased the Bose QC SC from Myer the other week for $298, but after watching a few reviews I prefer the QC Ultra for build quality and features.

    I bought it previously from this deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/836755) and I thought that was a good price. I got another one for my partner.
    Previously had the QC45 and lost it when I moved house. In the bose app, it comes up identical as the QC45. There is no visual difference apart from the soft case in the SE
    To my ears, it sounds identical

        • BobLim on 29/05/2024 - 21:21

          So it's ok for a company, but not an individual? Maybe the individual needs the profit more?

          • BargainsGrabber on 29/05/2024 - 21:39

            @BobLim: No you’re misunderstanding it.
            When JB runs a promo like this, of course there’s still some margin for profits, but then there are people call themselves brodens

            They’re essentially just reselling it and profiting from others

            • BobLim on 29/05/2024 - 21:47

              @BargainsGrabber:

              just reselling it and profiting from others

              This is what a retail shop does? At the end of the day, someone who buys multiples of a product to sell at a profit, and then can't find willing customer at the price they want, will be left with a bunch of products they have no use for.

              Someone buying 4 as gifts for their family is the same effect on the other customers as someone buying 4 to resell for profit. I don't see any particular merit in one of those over the other (unless I'm the one receiving the gift of course).

              Any sales like these induce people to buy things they don't need - it makes little difference to their "competitors" who may have a greater need, what the opportunistic purchaser does with those things afterwards IMO.

              • BargainsGrabber on 29/05/2024 - 22:01

                @BobLim: What I’m referring to is the thoughts that matter. I’ve been reading comments on half price deals from JB that gains 200+ upvotes tend to have attracted a lot of people missing out. And the next day I find myself seeing a lot of those being flooded on eBay for profit motives only

                Buy only what you need and not having a profit as the sole motive only

                Hope that last sentence clears up a bit :)

                • BobLim on 29/05/2024 - 22:27

                  @BargainsGrabber: Sure having a profit motive sounds bad on paper, but "oh hey I'll just get a spare to keep in my carryon bag" and "my nephew might want this, I'll buy it now and ask when I see him next fortnight" are both equivalent to buying to resell IMO.

                  From the perspective of other customers it makes no difference why they're arbitrarily buying extra, just that they are. The only real control is the retailer enforcing "retail quantities" - they should probably make it one per person if it's going to be this popular.

                  The main drawback I can see is the retailer noticing the high level of resellers and vowing to not repeat their pricing strategy. On the other hand, resellers theoretically keep more low-priced stock on the market for longer, and offer a way for people who missed the deal to obtain a decent discount, while the reseller collects some arbitrage profits. That sounds like a reasonably fair exchange to me sorry (and no I don't partake in broden-ing myself)
