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

    • 100%.. I reckon - I'll be going to the store around the corner at 9 to pick a pair up, before they start compiling the click and collect orders.

      I can't see how they could possibly advertise a "Wicked Wednesday" deal and not have a single item at opening on "Wicked Wednesday", worst case they back order it.

      • They already compiled mine at 7.30am

      • I’m sure there were many that ordered first without the coupon then ordered again with the coupon like myself. I’ll be getting on live chat soon after 9am to cancel my order so it becomes available for someone else.

      • They do C&C orders before store opens but you never know ĥ

    Just received this text: “Hi ___, we have experienced far greater orders than stock we have in the comapny and unfortunately an item is unable to be supplied for your order. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. Your order JB-xxx has now been cancelled. JB Hi-Fi”.

    • Yikes!

    • Oh damn

    • +1

      I knew this would happen, not uncommon for JB.

  • Melton sold out of QC45SE so the QC SC was offered for the same price and 10% additional discount

    • Same here at my local store.

      Just bought them for $147.60… are the SC any better or worse ?

      • +3

        From the FAQs here

        https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/products/headphones/noise_canc…

        "What is the difference between QuietComfort 45 Headphones, QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, QuietComfort Headphones, and QuietComfort SC Headphones?

        Bose QuietComfort Headphones are the successors to QuietComfort 45 Headphones. They deliver high-fidelity audio performance and world-class noise cancellation that allow you to hear more of your films and music – while travelling, at the office or at home. QuietComfort Ultra Headphones offer our most premium design and our most advanced technologies, for the best Bose listening experience in a headphone. With QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, you will enjoy our best headphone noise cancellation, audio quality personalised with CustomTune, and voice pickup, among other premium features. QuietComfort SC Headphones are the same as QuietComfort Headphones but feature a soft carry case instead of a hard carry case, and are only available in Black."

        This also suggests
        "the SE are qc45s with a soft case instead of the hard case, apparently the SE stands for soft envelope!!

        The sc are the new quietcomfort 2023 with a soft case instead of the hard case sc=soft case."

        https://www.reddit.com/r/bose/comments/1c5k8rv/whats_the_dif…

    • Same at my local store. I have no clue whether the SC are better than the 45

  • No stock for C&C so got offered the SC instead.

  • +6

    Text received for c&c so went to my local JB.

    The click & collect tub was full of Bose Headphones and nothing else.

    • Lol. Shows power of Ozbargain

  • Visited Macquarie Centre store, they were happy to offer me the SC version for the same price which stands for "Soft Case"? I googled a bit, seems no obvious difference except the soft case.

  • +2

    Just picked one up from Chadstone! If you go into your closest store, they should be able to tell you what stores have inventory post the website being pulled and online orders being fulfilled!

    • Many available at Chadstone?

      • Was 2 at the time

  • -4

    Just went in store and was told as soon as they could see I was looking at the range of Bose headphones they were out of stock :|
    Even when I mentioned that they were available last night after the store closed, now they're magically out of stock.

    • got a pair from another store. Worth calling around in case any still have stock.

  • +2

    ordered 2 pair at 7:45pm last night

    C&C from Melbourne Central

    received SMS 8:30am that they're good to pickup

    good luck everyone

    • I placed my order at 755PM for pick up but they had no stock left near me but luckily the store I ordered it from is delivery stock from another store.

      Fingers crossed.

  • Their naming convention is a mess can someone confirm

    Qc45 - base with hard case
    QC se- 45s with soft case
    QC SC - newer than 45s with soft case
    ?

    • +1

      I think the QC SC is the 2023 model. It's very similar to the 45 - has 2 more hours battery life and I think you can adjust the level of ANC from 1-10. Otherwise pretty much identical.

  • Springvale VIC just sold the last SE. Not sure if they're offering SC

  • +1

    I too got the Bose QuietComfort SE without the 45. They said it scanned (Probably using the same barcode) up as Bose QuietComfort 45 SE. Looking at one YouTube video, they basically are identical, although reviewer was happier with non 45s.

    2 hour extra battery life on the non 45s too. Another difference is they come with a mike on the audio cable.

    Is there any difference or is it the fact that any models of 45s made after 2023 only are marked as QuietComfort SE?

    • +1

      Technically the 'Bose QuietComfort 45 SE' doesn't exist.

      The official name is 'Bose QuietComfort SE', which is a QC45 but with a soft case.

      • When connected via Bluetooth, they came up as qc45s and actually my one didn't have the microphone on the aux cable.

  • +1

    Online out of stock. At Chatswood for store opening… Nope.

    However, they did a price match on the Bose Quietcomfort SC $147.60. Yay pick-up at Artarmon

    • How did you get a price match if the link doesnt work?

    • Was the price match done online?

  • +2

    Price match in store. The manager offered it to me when I complained no stock, yet I was in store at opening.

    Price match only for today and subject to stock available. I have already picked mine up.

  • I got a click and collect confirmation this morning at 8:30AM, then I was told out of stock just now on the phone (so, if you haven't picked yours up, go quickly!). They offered to replace with the Quietcomfort SC but that's also on backorder.

    Can anyone confirm 45 SC is as good as the SE? EDIT: Apparently SC is the newer version so I'm happy.

    • That's bizarre. Normally if C&C SMS is received that means stock is allocated and locked in a cage with your invoice on it

      • Yeah exactly, which makes me a bit peeved because they must have given my order to someone else. if i end up with the SC I guess it's still a good deal though 🤷‍♀️

        • +1

          Contact customer service on chat support and mention what happened. Last time they gave me a $10 credit for a PS5 that I was supposed to pick up, but they had sold/given it to someone else.

  • Went into JB Broadway opposite UTS and was told JB sold out last night no stock available

  • Apparently the airport in Vic has 340 in stock..
    Not sure if that's the International JB or the Airport West lol

  • +1

    just finished online chat with JB sales. They initially offered the SC but then apologised that they are not able to put an order anymore. However, most stores are now offering the SC instead of the SE. Time to run to nearest JB where I have stock. good luck ppl

    • +1

      Damn, currently in a 120 person queue to ask this same thing

      • +2

        Online Ozbargain get-together

    • Can you elaborate? Do you mean the SC is now 164? Or do they have a deal for SC?

      • Confirmed. QC SC is going for $164. Brisbane city has 13 when I got mine.

  • +1

    Can anyone confirm SC on app? Does it also shows as QC45?

    • +2

      The SC is the 'New' QuietComfort with a Soft Case.

      So shouldn't show up as QC45 in the app (and possibly show the new QuietComfort).

    • Yes, shows the same from the Bose app, incredible sound quality and NC ability.

  • +1

    Just avoided a shit show at Doncaster Jb. Order confirmed last night for C&C for x2 headphones , txt message received this morning at 8.30am ready for pickup. Went down at 10.30am only to be told by person at counter (after 10mins of trying to find my order) that as they had been over subscribed with orders that decision had been made to only give 1 per customer and would refund me the other order - and was this ok? I said no not good enough as had been paid and confirmed for collection, she got the manager and I held my ground and I said I would take an equivalent or better Bose headphone as a replacement - the manager just went into the cage for collections and took a headphone off an order of 4 (!) and gave me that one to make up my 2. So much for a limit of 1 for everyone!
    My advice for C&C - get down asap to get your order once confirmed, hold your ground if they can’t fulfill the order. I overhead one of the staff saying they had 78 orders for headphones at just that store, she also said wish she had gotten a pair at that price.

    • +1

      The newer SC is on the same deal. Should have more stock.

      • Is this only in store?

        • Was this morning.

  • -1

    Perfect time to use the $5 Ultimate gift cards I got for $4 from this deal.

  • If I find one in store do I tell staff to price match their site from last night?

  • Would the SE and or SC be much better than an older model Sony WH-1000XM2 ? That is the model I have now..

    • Buy, Try, Sell it if you feel disappointed, the price is ridiculous.

      • Already picked up a SC this morning, just deciding whether to open the package or not.
        Will do cheers.

    • Deep breath mate

  • So they are offering the SC if they don't have the SE just go instore and ask?

    • All JB Hi-fi are doing the same deal they had for SE for the SC models. That is $164. 10% perks also works.

      Just picked up the QuietComfort SC for $147. If they say no, tell them to ask. Because they might not all be informed.

      • ok thanks mate!

      • Their website literally says $349: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/bose-quietcomfort-sc-over…
        Do you mean for those who missed out on the SE?

        • +1

          Correct. The deal was so popular that it sold out before Wednesday hit. They are now offering it on those ones. Just in-store only.
          EDIT: Person below said online chat let them price match them. My online person said they couldn't YMMV

          • @Castcore: Yep, can confirm. The SC is selling for $164 in-store only for anyone per this comment.

  • +2

    I just ordered a pair of SC via online chat, i told them SE was no longer available online, asked them to price match SC to SE, and they did, forgot to ask for 10% perks discount, but still happy.

    • i just tired the same and they said they would sms a cart link in 24 hours, did you get the same or did they do one directly ?

      • The deal will be gone in 24 hours, I would request that they send it immediately, as that is usually what happens.

        I wouldn't think you'll get anything if you didn't get it right away.

        • +1

          hmm i will try again! thanks!

    • Are you able apply/enter the perks discount at checkout?

  • +1

    just picked up SC from north lakes. they had two of the SE's returned from customers due to change of mind but had already been opened, they said I could take the SE for $164 or the SC and it was upto me. I obviously picked the SC. Just in time for wife's birthday!

  • Ordered with online delivery last night at 8.10pm and just received notification that item is on its way.

  • i got the link via online chat, they also said could send me the link via sms, but i didnt bother as i placed an order straight away

    • -1

      Nice, does it come with a medal aswell ?

  • I was after another pair of Bose for my autistic teen. I missed this deal but was able to get 2 SE's instore. One was a customer return, unwanted gift.

  • Ordered with shipping yesterday and received tax invoice and shipment notification today.

    Amazing deal.

  • +2

    Ordered through online chat. Got SC as replacement.
    Can’t do the perk 10% off, they said it’s either 349-10% or 164 for this deal

    • Anyone who got the SC as a replacement is laughing. It does not get any better than that.

      • But it’s $164 vs $147.6
        They are not offering extra 10% off for SC.

        • Easily worth paying a little more for the SC.

          • +2

            @1r4n14n: Nah not worth paying any extra. Software update came out for the 45 SE last month to give it the ANC 1-10 feature

            • -1

              @cyrax83: Might wanna look at the RTINGS link. There are some very important aspects that the SC does better such as imagining, battery life and noise handling. The only thing it lacks over the SE is bass accuracy and peaks/dips.

              • @1r4n14n: Nah that's all rubbish. Battery life maybe. I think 1-2 hours extra difference

                • -2

                  @cyrax83: Yep, rubbish by people who do it for a living.

        • They do if you went in-store, this is because the online chat is price matching to receive that price which is not eligible for the coupon. If they just made the SC $164 in the normal website then you'd be able to use perks.

    • What did you end up saying to them? I couldn't get anything from the rep I spoke to

      • +1

        This what I wrote” Can I get Bose SC for Bose SE as it was sold out as soon as I went in?”

        • Cheers, managed to get a great operator on chat who said he just processed 10 of these in a row and was happy to help me out. Brilliant deal
