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.

    Thank you OP, my long search with new NC headphone ends here.

    Although I do have big concern of the Bose mic problem, but this one at least provides with a wired mic, so I guess that is accually better than the higher ends like ultra.

    • CyberMurning on 10/12/2024 - 23:01

      Wired what…

      • Kaberio on 10/12/2024 - 23:03

        in-line microphone, it has built-in mic, the wired one just to be used when you are not in a quite place.

    Good deal. Was contemplating to get earbuds from Bose but this deal made me buy a Bose Headphone instead. Always wanted one as my dad used to talk about how Bose was supposed to the greatest even though he never owned one. Would have gifted this to him if he was still around but will listen to some songs he liked, in his memory.

    This headphone will replace my old TaoTronics one which my young daughter has successfully chewed through. I am afraid that my newborn son will do the same to the Bose headphones, once he can.

    Anyways, there was no click and collect stock near where I lived. So, I ordered one for delivery. Total bill amount was $184.19. Bought gift cards worth 180 (100+50+30) with 5% discount at PlusClub. So, paid $171 for the gift cards and paid $4.19. So, in total $174.19 including delivery for me. I hope they deliver.

    I'm so confused, is this qc35 or qc45?

    • ahmedaman on 11/12/2024 - 00:08

      QC45 but with a soft case, hence the SC in the title

      • Smigit on 11/12/2024 - 01:09
        +4

        It’s a newer model to the QC45, but only minor differences such as a small jump to battery life. This is the QuietComfort (2023) in a soft case where the QC45 SE are 45’s in a soft case.

        The naming is pretty bad, really.

        • ahmedaman on 11/12/2024 - 01:23

    Just price-matched with Bose, and they sent me the Adyen payment link via email. I used Amex card to pay, the merchant name is Bose Ltd Pty, and it looks like the cashback is triggered. I’ll report back in a few days.

    • John Stone on 11/12/2024 - 00:49

    • yangjie on 11/12/2024 - 00:52

      • T-man on 11/12/2024 - 10:38

        I added the air something adapter for $9 and just received an email from Amex this morning: "You just used your Bose Amex Offer"

        So the transaction definitely qualified for the offer.

        • CyberMurning on 11/12/2024 - 11:14

          you are TheMan! will do the same way
          price match (178 or 198)
          headphone plus adapter
          adyen payment
          pay with amex
          waiting for the email cashback

    • Jaff on 11/12/2024 - 01:08

      Says the purchase has to be via Bose online

      • Smigit on 11/12/2024 - 01:15

        I get the impression that Amex deals use the merchant information on the transaction to trigger the discount, so if the same merchant is being transacted with then it shouldn’t matter how the payment occurs.

        Don’t hole me to that, but unlike cash rewards and shop back etc there’s no reliance on cookies, adblockers are never an issue or anything and transactions get flagged as redeemed very very quickly, which is why I believe they use their own data. I’ve had Amex cashback confirmed quicker than the store purchase confirmation on many occasions.

        Also why they never seem to have any exclusions around combining offers or anything like that…because I don’t think Amex has visibility of that, only what was charged.

        • CyberMurning on 11/12/2024 - 17:42

          my theory is bose online store using adyen as well as their backend. so you buy online or through the adyen email, they are the same (for amex anyway).

    • ExtraGuac on 11/12/2024 - 08:38

      You got the email from Amex saying the cash back is tracked?

      I have the payment link in my emails but haven’t completed it yet, as I was concerned it wouldn’t track being a third party payment portal.

      I added the $9 airline adapter to the order to get it over $200. Have the JB Hi-Fi order ready to collect so need to make a decision!

          • T-man on 11/12/2024 - 12:26

            @KB57: That's strange—they matched the price for me and sent the Adyen payment link to my email last night. If that’s what they told you, then just buy it at the full price and request a refund later. Even better, it might stack with the 5% cashback from ShopBack.

              @T-man: the only problem is if they refund, it may forefeit the AMEX cashback.

              "Good news! We can honor the price from JB Hi-Fi which is $198. To process the price match, you need to place an order on our website, and we will refund you the difference once you receive your order."

              "I would love to help you with that. However, we can only refund you the diffrence."

              From AMEX: "Credit may be reversed if your qualifying purchase is refunded or cancelled."

                  Ended up buying from JB. It was a bit risky buying full price from Bose and then asking for refund.

    Does ANC work without having to play music?

      You can have ANC on without playing music, dunno about the other thing

    • shabaka on 11/12/2024 - 07:44

      yes, just turn them on and play nothing. does ANC

      I do that sometimes when I work

      • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 15:58

        and if you want to check if the ANC is working (when turned on - it takes maybe 10 seconds to start up and check for Bluetooth audio connection)

        you can just press the large button at the back of the left-hand earcup to toggle the ANC off and on again - and typically when I think 'is it working?' I'm suddenly horrified by the very loud noise as soon as I press that button to turn off the ANC

        that said - lifting the earcups off seems to be 'not quite' as loud as the sound through the headphones with ANC off - so I'm not sure if the 'off' noise may be somehow slightly amplified through the active circuitry.

  • Euthyphro on 11/12/2024 - 07:18

    This is Bose QuietComfort "SC" (Soft Case), not Bose QuietComfort.

    • shabaka on 11/12/2024 - 07:58

      same thing. I had mine since May (bought both SC and SE for $160 each, both came with the same soft case), and never even used the cases

      • Euthyphro on 11/12/2024 - 08:06

        Bose QuietComfort has multipoint connection, AFAIK SC and SE can only connect to one device at a time.

        • integriti on 11/12/2024 - 08:22

          As per the Bose website, the QuietComfort SC is literally the exact same as the QuietComfort, just with a soft case.

          Also, the JB listing itself directly mentions multi-point toggle as a feature for the SC.

        • Archdon on 11/12/2024 - 08:27

          They're identical, only the case provided is different. This is the second generation of headphones Bose have provided this cheaper soft case option. Quietcomfort SE'S previously with the QC45's.

          Multipoint has also been around in all Bose flagship headphones for so long - almost a decade they don't even list it as a feature on their website. Though it's noted in the FAQ.

  • ShekelHoarder on 11/12/2024 - 07:20

    How do these compare to xm4? Just broke my xm3 and was really happy with that product

    • shabaka on 11/12/2024 - 08:03

      ANC in my opinion is better on Bose. better but different. it certainly has better passive sound isolation to start with, compared to xm4

      sound quality wise.. it's a draw. neither is stellar. but I prefer Bose even though Sony has higher quality codec support. even with Sony's advanced EQ I could never get sound I want out of xm4.

      Bose sound quality is entertaining and pleasant, but certainly won't match my px7 s2e. so when I travel I grab Bose because they have way better ANC, and when I just walk around the city, it's px7 for me

      xm4 I returned

      • samedream on 11/12/2024 - 13:37

        Agreed on ANC. Bose is better than MX4 and similar on MX5 after 15 hours long flight to LA and return.
        comfy wise, Bose is little better than MX4 and much better than MX5.
        sound quality. MX5 is better IMO. by watching movies from the plane. MX4 and Bose are very close but MX4 wins a little bit.
        music, Bose is good on default, but after adjust EQ from the app, both are very close.
        pop songs, MX4, better bass after adjusting EQ. Bass on Bose is a bit Flat IMO.

        Bluetooth connection, Sony is better.
        on MX4, cover the one side of the headphone, you can hear the cabin sound and communicate which is bonus.
        folding size is the same on MX4 and Bose

    • Gmaster on 11/12/2024 - 10:05
      +1

      ANC is better but not a huge jump.
      USB-C port is worth the upgrade for me. No more micro USB cables in the house. One USB-C cable to charge all devices while travelling is great!

      I am in the same boat. I’ve got the QC35-2. Don’t think I will go for these because there is no real improvement except USB-C

      • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 16:03

        QC45 and SC can use the Bose Music app EQ to adjust bass/mid/treble more to your liking - QC35ii does not have that - I like it for listening to podcasts as more treble makes speech more clearly audible in noisy environments, whereas more bass I find harder to distinguish the speech. YMMV.

          Yeah? Which part?

          I have a screenshot of the chat with the agent, which states the price of $499.95. He said they will refund $351.95. Which would bring the price down to $148.

          I suggest you go back to school and take on some Math classes before commenting on things you don't understand.
