EDIT

Looks like HN has pulled it off their website. Those who missed out on the $4 HN deal can still grab a pair of SHE8500 from BigW for $15; which IMO is still a good deal given the RRP and sound quality. I’ve been using them for couple of hours now, and I’d say they are almost on par with my Sennheiser CX300

$15 @ BigW Instore

Original Post

Came across these when I was looking for a cheap pair of in-ear type earphones. RRP is 39.95 so they are not super expensive to begin with. Bought one from my local HN, they sound alright. Bass is clear and punchy, but trebles are not very sharp. Overall, I'm very satisfied with them for the price.

    Isn't this the normal price? I usually see these in the bargain bin as I walk into the store (in the Electrical side).

    • cannedhams on 30/01/2013 - 14:33

      I am pretty sure those are'nt in-ear phones. I see them as well, they are normal ear buds.

      • Helmuth on 30/01/2013 - 14:38

        Fair enough - bargain then!

      • opt on 30/01/2013 - 14:48

        They are in-ear ones, I have one with me right now.

        • cannedhams on 30/01/2013 - 15:03

          Are they these same Philips in-ear buds? If they are routinely in your bargain bin at Harvey Norman, then obviously, your Harveys is better than my Harveys.

          At the Harveys in Brisbane CBD they have $4 Philips ear buds but they are just the stock standard ear phones, like you would get with a cheapy mp3 player.

      Nope, normal price is $39.95. And it wasn't in one of those bargain bins. Here is a shot of the package and earphones : http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4853/she8500.jpg
      There were no other price labels on the box. But it scanned in as $4 at the register.

    Which one is better?

    • opt on 30/01/2013 - 16:10

      IMO SHE8500, because it has a better low frequency response = deeper bass.

    Niiice, I just bought 3 pairs. I go through headphones quicker than my underwear.

    • Peace Maker on 30/01/2013 - 19:39

      You are either really hard on your headphones, or real easy on your underwear. Possibly both?

      • SkMed on 30/01/2013 - 20:06

        haha, a little from column A, a little from column B.

        But seriously, I would gladly pay $200 for a pair of good in-ear headphones with either a lifetime warranty, or guaranteed to be indestructible to everyday use. I have shelled out over $100 on a pair before and they lasted no longer than the cheaper $15 pairs (usually about 3 months).

      Go on back order like I did. It says they're getting more in soon. Unless yours are saying something else. I'm in NSW so maybe it's different here. For $4 I'm happy to wait.

    Anyone know how these might compare to the Samsung Galaxy Note ones? I'm not audiophile so I don't need to spend $200 on a pair but I love the sound quality of these ones. Will these Philips be in the same ballpark?

      SHE8500 has better bass response than the ones bundled with Galaxy S2 (I'm guessing Note 1 comes with the same earphones as S2??).

    Ordered several a few hours ago, got a call about 6 from HN QV, telling me they didn't have any, and wouldn't be getting any more. Said they had some Sony substitutes that I should stop by and have a look at.

    Won't be buying Sony again. Its taken 6 months and a problem with a product is still not resolved and Sony wants to palm a manufacturing issue off onto a retailer. Sad experience with Sony means I'll avoid them in future purchases.

    I purchased mine yesterday (around 4pm) from a store that did not have them instock (purchase still went through). I've received an E-mail with transaction number (not no confirmation of stock). I am yet to receive an E-mail saying they are out of stock. I hope they offer a refund.

    Pretty sure being able to purchase something that is not in stock (nor will ever be in stock) is against the Fair Trade Practice Act.

    I fond it pretty strange/unfair that they offer this, buy had no stock in Melb Central store. Infact, I highly doubt they had any stock there to begin with!!!

    • superforever on 31/01/2013 - 10:21

      *** Pretty sure being able to purchase something that is not in stock (nor will ever be in stock) is against the Fair Trade Practice Act. **

      I have similar experience with Paul Warehouse which when I ordered Van Shoes online they clearly said in stock but received email no stock. I asked them why your system is not first click first served?

      That's why I went strange to a store and bought it instead as soon as I saw that.

    • oz-dxer on 31/01/2013 - 10:24

      I purchased mine at 5pm yesterday and all my 3 local HN stores had stock.
      Just the power of OZbargain can "clean out" the supplier within minutes.

      The HN store at Bathurst NSW called me re fullfilling my order and i am in Narre Warren Vic, letting me know they sold over 800 pairs and it just happened so quick.

      Just remember that within the few minutes it takes to process your order/payment the stock holding can be bought up by others.

      • datzed on 31/01/2013 - 10:39

        Quite true.
        It'd be a bit of a shame if I miss out, but I've already got a cheap pair of earphones I use in the Gym/Sauna/Steam room so no big loss. I just better get a chance to get a refund!

      • superforever on 31/01/2013 - 11:11

        A few minutes? I don't think the HN system is that real time.

        Last time I ordered something from them online. They told me they have to go and check his email before they go to pick up my stock in store.

        For a situation like the earphone most should have already cleaned up by people bought in store before they checked their email.

          Any branded set of headphones for $4 is a good deal. Most of the amazon customer reviews for that are good. Besides, HN is listing it for 79.95!!!! So go for it !!

          BTW did they specifically say $4 ?? If they didn't then maybe they meant $39.95 (marked price of SHE8500).

          Geez, the girl at Harveys was cursing Ozbargain when I went down there. She has processed something like a hundred orders, gave refunds and then head office told her to offer these instead. She said the things had been at that price on the website since October, nothing really happened till someone posted them here. Ah well.
