Looks like the best deal on the Bose QuietComfort SC headphones by far. Excellent over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones.

There's also an extra 10% off if you're a JB Hi-Fi Perks member - check your inbox for the coupon code. Perks offer expires 11/12/2024.

Also worth noting that these are just the Bose QuietComfort headphones but only with a soft case. If you're looking for a hard case, you can grab one from JB here as well (Bose says that this case is compatible with the Bose QuietComfort / Bose QuietComfort SC on their own product page.

    Oh. I was posting this but too slow. Insane price - well done!

    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:01

      Me too, was 6 minutes late to the game :P

      Hah I was too excited when I saw this in my inbox - thought it was a pricing error for a second..!

    • Euthyphro on 11/12/2024 - 07:16

      Sounds like Bose will have a new model coming out, hence clearing the old models.

  • Coolhandlucas on 10/12/2024 - 18:57

    What's the standard price for these?

      This should be a historic low - BFCM deal was $250+ the lowest.

        • abs898 on 10/12/2024 - 19:10

          Different model SE vs SC.

        • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:10

          That's QC45 SE, a generation older than QC SC.

            @xmagic: oops, my bad, but I remembered (incorrectly it seems) that there weren't any differences between the 45 SE and SC models.
            I didn't neg you btw.

            • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:13

              @equanimity: An hour or two longer battery life and BT 5.2 support on newer model

              • equanimity on 10/12/2024 - 19:13

                @xmagic: Ah fair enough, haven't been keeping up on it!

                  @equanimity: I don't know why I still pulled the trigger even though my QC35 is still working. Just <$200 is too good to miss.

                  • equanimity on 10/12/2024 - 19:21

                    @xmagic: I'm honestly considering it even with my rather new XM4s….

                    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:23
                      +1

                      @equanimity: If it's XM3 or QC35 may be worth an upgrade. XM4 is already on par or better than QC45, while QC 2023 is only marginally better than QC45.

                      If you don't have AirPods Pro 2, and it fits you well (you can get a test fit at an Apple Store), you should try it. ANC and features are great.

                      • equanimity on 10/12/2024 - 19:27

                        @xmagic: I ended up pulling the trigger on this deal (just on the killer price).

                        My ears hate the AirPods Pro 2 - I get severe skin irritation from the buds. I ended up getting the AirPods 4 ANC for light use, works great, but definitely a step below the Pros.

                    • BarrytheBargain on 10/12/2024 - 20:07

                      @equanimity: Don't bother, xm4s are much better. These are still great for this price

                      • nafe on 11/12/2024 - 11:49

                        @BarrytheBargain: XM4 were too small for my ears - Bose were the better fit, so they got the nod. No regrets.

                          @nafe: my experience with SONY headphones was shallow earcups pressing on my ears which would become excruciating after a few hours on a long overseas flight.

                          Bose have deeply angled earcups which don't press my ears and I can wear for 15 hours no problemo.

        Picked the SC up for $145 in May, when JB ran out of the SE models before the in-store sale even started. They officially offered the SC instead but did not advertise it so the only way to get it was to go in-store and ask or ask online to price match it.

        • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 15:33

          similarly, I got a pair of SC on 29/5/24 for $164 at JBHiFi half-price sale for SE - they'd run out of those and in-store let me have the SC for the same price - sweet as, and I use them now every day as my daily listener both at home for Bluetooth laptop and out and about with my iPhone, including for overseas flights noise-canceling.

  • wonaldng on 10/12/2024 - 18:58

    Outstanding price for a headphone that is still amongst the very best for music, noise-cancellation and overall comfort.

    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:03

      Especially considering the headset is the same as standard model, just sans the hard case and additional colour options.

      Yes, but the onboard microphone is just meh.

      • scar4ace on 10/12/2024 - 20:05

        That's QC35?

        • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 20:07
          +1

          Not much improvements from newer models anyway.

          But QC2023 comes with an inline microphone on the 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable. Means you get a better quality microphone if use wired.

    Its a bit more expensive than May offer. I bought them for $145 (including perks discount)

    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:31

      QC 2023 has newer BT 5.2 and slightly better battery life. It's not entirely the same as QC45 SE.

      • aparasher on 10/12/2024 - 19:36

        Thanks. Did not know that.

      • Stevendkl on 10/12/2024 - 21:04

        JB sales QC and QE for same promo price in May.

        • SuperLate on 10/12/2024 - 21:22

          During that deal they ran out off SE so JB online support offered me SC at the same price, $169 delivered. I've liked it so far, very comfortable to wear and excellent noise cancelling. Had to returned SE due to bluetooth and sudden loud sound issues. No problems with SC.

      • freeb1e4me on 11/12/2024 - 19:43

        QC 2023 has newer BT 5.2…

        According to the Bose website:
        Bluetooth range: up to 30 ft (9 m)
        Bluetooth version: 5.1

        Where are you getting the info on BT 5.2?

    • yoquierotaco on 11/12/2024 - 11:54

      Yea I couldn’t use the perks discount but I did get the SC for $164+$7.99 shipping from support chat. Saved a few bucks using giftcard.

      Ended up selling it. Was not that much better than my Bose QC25 (I don’t mind having a chord). I will just get whatever deal is on when it finally dies.

    No auto pause sensor.
    Also not sure if this is just me, when wearing on the flight, after 30mins i will get massive air pressure feeling on my ears.

    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:17
      +1

      I still prefer an over-ear on flights as AirPods Pro 2 doesn't fit my ear very well, and I can't have them more than 3 hours. But over-ears I can easily do 10+.

      I'd say it's a very personalised experience.

    • nicholasv on 10/12/2024 - 19:34

      Yeh definitely personal preference. I wore my xm4 on my flights from Europe back home (25 hours straight wearing), and I was fine without any discomfort. Also the auto pause sensor annoys me so I turn it off

    • nafe on 11/12/2024 - 11:50

      'after 30mins i will get massive air pressure feeling on my ears'

      this seems to be a rare complaint - have you tried lifting the headphones off to equalise the air pressure at cruising altitude ?

  • v00d00 AU on 10/12/2024 - 19:05

    The marketing throws me, here is the "SC model" with a different picture, but no mention of SC once you follow the Amazon link

    Then jbhifi also has this same picture at the increased/more common price but not as SC

    • v00d00 AU on 10/12/2024 - 19:11

    • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:14

      Yup, you can connect two devices concurrently.

      This is a bit different from AirPods's instant switching - Bose QC actually connect to both devices concurrently.

      • Jackson on 11/12/2024 - 01:57

        Got a set of xm3 and thinking of buying these for this feature alone

    • Tim Mc on 11/12/2024 - 11:28

      It's ok.

      Yes.

      It is worth installing the Bose app to select the two devices that you want to connect to. If you pair with 5 devices then it can be a bit confusing.

      The side button can be used to find out or select what two devices you are connected. If one device name is long, then it can be frustrating to use this approach. "Connected to PC1234567890 and Tim iPad"

    • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 15:41

      not sure with the Bose Music app which I use for the EQ bass/mid/treble adjustment - in which I can see at the moment my laptop and iPhone as 'Paired Devices'

      If I recall if I try to connect a third device (in addition to Bose Music app) I cannot, and will have to disconnect/unpair one of the others.

      It may be that if you don't use the Bose Music app/EQ you might be able to pair 3 devices ?

      • CyberMurning on 11/12/2024 - 15:49

        • Richardc on 10/12/2024 - 22:56

          Not stop, as it's just a short notification sound, it finished before the headphones fully switch to the primary device channel, and then switch back to the secondary device, resulting around 1-2 seconds sound skipping for the secondary device's playback.

        Price match promise
        Shop confidently, knowing we’ll match a lower price.

        If you purchase a new product from www.bose.com.au and then find a lower price for that same product on our site or through selected authorised Bose resellers—JB Hi-Fi, Myer or Harvey Norman—you can request a price match/refund within 7 days of purchase.

        So technically we spend over $200 already, get cashback from amex and later bose transfer back the difference separately

        • xmagic on 10/12/2024 - 19:59

          That's one way to interpret - but I'm just afraid that if Bose choose to do a partial refund directly on the card instead, the offer may become ineligible.

        • smokeymr on 11/12/2024 - 19:00

          Btw, one Bose chat agent said that use of any coupon to lower the original Bose price would immediately disqualify the item from any price match. For example, if you used the welcome 10% coupon on the SC, you would not get any money back from the price match (because no price match for you). Of course, even in that case, you could still return the whole thing for a full refund

    • hit23head on 10/12/2024 - 20:24

      i checked on chat, they are only price matching with $199, if it helps others
