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.

    So Bose were selling the quietcomfort with the hard case and different colours for $349 on Black Friday but these ones were being sold for $499 like seriously Bose? I don’t understand their sales management…

  • Joehax on 11/12/2024 - 11:05

    I have an OG pair of QC 35, battery still going strong after nearly 6 years. Is the sound quality on these SC's worth the upgrade?> Weight-wise they seem about the same

    • damow15 on 11/12/2024 - 11:13

      I've replaced my OG QC 35's as well with this deal - USB-C alone was enough for me, but I think my QC 35's have travelled enough around the world that they're ready for a rest.

      • mini2 on 11/12/2024 - 12:09

        Does this fit in the QC 35 case?

        • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 16:09

          I would say yes as it looks to be identical in size

          now overseas, this trip I didn't even bring the SC soft case as I find it annoyingly rubs on the soft zipper case to squeeze them in for luggage, and for wearing them on the plane I just popped them in top of my carry-on backpack for easy retrieval on the plane

          don't forget the audio cable and twin-plug for plane movies - they come with 3 items in the soft or hard pack - a charging cable, an audio cable, and a separate twin-audio-plug for planes. If you plug the audio cable together with the twin-plug it would be less likely to lose the little twin-plug.

  • YoursTruly on 11/12/2024 - 11:11

    Newbie with ANC headphones, looking to get my first one to get a feel.

    I’d appreciate advice on who has both these BOSE and the SONY below:

    how do these stack up to the BOSE?

    Sony WH-CH720 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

    Was leaning towards the Sony brands (I like how they look) - esp the xm5 or xm4 - but for a first ones I’d rather spend $150-200 max to test use and determine suitability.

            @YoursTruly: Don't think the Bose is suitable for gym use as apparently the clamping force is pretty light and they're likely to move around a lot during physical exercise.

              @dqtl74: clamping force is pretty light
              exactly my thought! maybe because we both have small-ish head?

              • YoursTruly on 11/12/2024 - 13:00

                @CyberMurning: Cheers mates

                I’ll go ahead with the Bose for a click and collect, and test them out along with the Sonys, etc (the samples at JBhifi if they have them).

                Edit: Bought the Bose. Easy return if unsuitable

                • YoursTruly on 12/12/2024 - 01:00

                  @YoursTruly: Update:

                  Tried at JBhifi the xm5, xm4, ch720 and these Bose.

                  Xm5 - is good but it’s all touch operated - good quality sound, anc and comfort.

                  Xm4 - is similar to xm5 (although prefer xm5 aesthetics).

                  Ch720 - just cheap feeling all around.

                  Bose quiet comfort sc - these somehow felt more premium to me than the xm5. Couldn’t tell any difference from xm5 in terms of sound and anc.

                  So glad I went with the Bose - esp. for this price. The soft case isn’t the best but it’s not like I’ll cary them around often.

                  Thanks mates

                @CyberMurning: I’m finding the clamping force a bit too much on the Bose QC. Perhaps my head is bigger than average. Are the Sony XM4/5 have lighter clamping force?

                I might have to sell these cans. Regretful buy lol

                • CyberMurning on 11/12/2024 - 17:49

                  not sure sony you can always buy from amazon and try. the store samples are probably not a good way to try as they have been worn by millions people

                  • freeb1e4me on 11/12/2024 - 18:06

                    @CyberMurning: I fully extended the head band which helped with the clamping force. Problem solved

            @YoursTruly:

            Which ones are less bulky?

            Haven’t worn the XM5, but travel wise the Sonys are bulkier as they can’t fold up and therefore have a less compact carry case than the Bose.

            • YoursTruly on 11/12/2024 - 19:41

              @Smigit: Thanks - good to know this

              Do you know if they are bulky when worn as well?

              I guess I’ll find out when I go test/ pick up my pair in a few hours

              • Smigit on 11/12/2024 - 21:28
                +2

                @YoursTruly: I don’t know sorry. I haven’t opened the SCs I got today yet, but have used QC35II for many years and love them for their comfort. Not expecting any real change.

                I think I might have put the XM5s on for about 30 seconds at a JB but honestly haven’t used them enough to provide any real personal insight.

                Only thing that stood out really from user feedback, and this is other people’s experience rather than mine, is some people find the XMs cups a bit shallow leading to ears that touch them and long term use potentially being less comfortable. Didn’t seem to apply to everyone.

                Noting I have the Bose though, for the gym use question, I’d probably pick up my IEMs for that scenario personally. Not sure I’d want the sweaty cups.

    • End3vour on 11/12/2024 - 12:25
      +1

      I have the Sony XM3 and Bose QC35ii. Bose is much more comfortable to wear IMO. The Sony hurt my head for a while (but you get used to it). Bose can also connect to more than one device (this may have changed since XM3 is an older model) and I just generally find it more user friendly. In terms of sound quality and noise cancelling I don't hear the difference tbh.

    • Hangryuman on 11/12/2024 - 16:10

    So I just got a pair and compared to the 45 they sound less bright which is a good thing a little bit fuller to my ears, they also fit better and the sound signature (bass, mids and treble set to 0) is much better than the 45, with them I had to do some tweaking with the eq to make them sound better but this is not the case with the new qc.
    The noise cancelling will have to wait for a test tomorrow in the train and bus but so far at least I feel less cabin pressure.

        it comes with the Bose - the soft and hard case have an inside pocket which should contain 3 things - a charging cable, an audio cable (3.5mm to 2.5mm headphones?), and a twin-plug for plane movies

        if the plane has a 3-pin socket, I think the twin-plug will probably fit horizontally across the top two holes - I suspect the bottom hole is further apart - airlines probably use 3-pin plugs to discourage theft of the in-plane headphones (which I think are crappy, even the 'noise cancelling' ones in business class, compared to Bose anyway)

      You really need to try on the headphones to see if it suits your size head. Incompatible clamping force is an absolutely deal breaker regardless of the specs.

      FYI, voice call quality is average. Wireless PC gaming is rubbish (OK wired). Clamping force is tight on big heads.

      Also, you cannot return these to JB once opened.
