Hi, I'm looking to replace my old Bose headphones with the Sony WH-1000XM5.

I am a bit confused as I found these at BigW, but different prices:

$576 and $459

They look to be the same headphones. Can anyone tell me what I am missing please :)

Cheers

    Hey pookie, if you look carefully, you'll see that they're Big W market products - one sold by MyDeal and the other sold by Tristar.

    These are not being sold by Big W. Big W market is exactly that, a marketplace.

      Oh, ok, thank you :) I think I found them cheaper on Ebay anyway :)

      I hope this is a genuine item and not a knock-off or whatever.

      Cheers

        Imported item.

        May as well get the refurbs direct from Sony

        • pookie on 31/10/2024 - 19:08

          How can you tell?

          Is it still ok to buy these from Ebay then ?

            @pookie: It literally said that line in the description that they're imported. This mean you'd have no warranty

            Spend $40 more and get brand new local stock, or save $70 and get Sony refurbished

            • pookie on 31/10/2024 - 19:14

              @spackbace: Can refurbished be trusted? I've never bought anything except new, but for just using them now and then maybe refurbished be ok. Are they noticeably used ?

                @pookie: I've never bought anything except pre-owned, ex-demo or factory refurbished. Thanks for being a key partner in my supply chain.

                @pookie: Not noticeable at all usually. Refurb is usually doa products that get fixed at the factory or repair centres.

      What does the B mean at the end of the model code ? Im guessing it means Black..

    was hoping for a Halloween sale but this might have to do for now, thanks :)
