    I think it's a decent enough deal, EB games were selling them for $99 a while back. But a common complaint was a low quality mic.

    • I havent found any problem with it, and of course those people trashing it are comparing it to $400 headsets

  • I think you should specify the Halo, if it was 5 this would be a deal, but MCC can be had for $20

    Great headset, fantastic sound.. Especially useful when wanting to hear for footsteps in a direction or locating a mask in Far Cry 4 by the sound… Standard chat mic isn't too bad but Polk will send you an upgraded adaptor microphone free of charge due to the complaints they received and being a premium brand, I got that and it made things 10 times better..

    • Hey Ricky how do I go about getting the upgraded adaptor??

      • +4

        G'day Jezza, took me awhile after contacting Polk directly but I eventually got passed to the Australian distributor for Polk which is "allinteractive".. When I did it I emailed this bloke - [email protected] .. This was from June 2014 but I believe they still honour this for their product which is still on sale and bought brand new. I picked up my Polk headset for $58 from Big W early 2014 so they didn't drop the price to drop their responsibility.. It's called a boom mic adaptor, good luck!

        • Thanks Ricky I sent him a message, thanks for your help

        • @JezzaC96: No worries let us know how you go!

        • +1

          @RickyCruise: The reviews about the poor mic quality were holding me back from this headset, so that's good to know they can provide a better mic. Ill give it a shot, thanks for sharing Ricky.

        • @Jarr0d: No worries at all mate, but see below from Ronniefromdashore you might be right with these bundles

        • @JezzaC96: Jezza did yours come with the boom mic or what?

      • +4

        all these bundles come with the upgraded mic

        • are you sure?

        • @xEnt: yes. I got one.

  • Can this headset connect to the TV when watching FTA? Or just the XB1?

    • +2

      Yes. You can use it as headphones in anything 3.5mm.

  • +2

    It has been this price for a while - see previous deals;

      It may have been a deal for a while but over 500 people just bought Xbox ones two days ago from target so Im just bringing to their attention this offer

      • +1

        ^ this. Other headsets ive been looking at:
        Audio-Technica ATH-AG1 $179
        Sennheiser GAME ONE $179
        Kingston HyperX Cloud $62.57

        • With Audio Technica/Sennheiser you are better off getting one of their non-gaming branded ones as there is markup on them and they aren't nearly as good as the equivalent non-gaming ones then just buy a mic to clip on like the zalman and a cheap joining cable for the mic/headset into one 3.5mm from ebay.

        • @Agret: normally yes but that audio technica is based off the ATH-A700X which is the same price as the headset atm, im not sure about the exact driver the sennheiser uses but it also holds alot of value at its current price. They are both on sale at pccg - cheaper than amazon.

        • @Jarr0d: Oh right I didn't click the link, didn't realise it was sale pricing. Yeah for that price they are a good buy for sure. At their regular price they are way overpriced. You'll find niche lines of product usually hold their price but it doesn't mean they are worthwhile purchases, that's the whole basis of a bargain after all ;) it's the same reason beats are still so expensive even though they are much worse than headphones that cost half their price. Shame they don't also have Audio Technica ATH-ADG1 on sale =(

        • +1

          @Agret: I picked up the ADG1 a couple days ago from random site for $179 shipped. THey are now out of stock otherwise I would have posted on Ozbargins.

          I was planning on getting the ad700x/900x and adding a zalmans until I found that price.

          One thing people are saying is the Mic on the AG series is really good. As good if not better than the Mod Mic. Which is $60-80 in Aus. So if you manage to find the ADG1 on sale somewhere its a good buy, full price no way.

          Audio technica hit it out of the park with their headset though for sure.

  • got it for $88 with forza horizons about 3-4 months ago. Headset is good but mic is ok. Also comes with the controller adapter too which is $40 alone.

  • If it comes with the upgraded boom mic, I'll buy one. If not, I'd rather pay more to get a better product. Does anyone know if it does come with the upgraded boom mic?

    • +2

      yes it does. i got one a few months ago.

      • Perfect, purchased. I was never planning on making the Xbox my primary console for this gen, but all the deals keep pointing me that way.

  • +2

    note: these all come with the new boom mic adapter. I got one a few months ago. Also comes with the controller adapter too which is $40 alone. quality is good and price is great especially if you want the game it comes with.

  • I wish Target would put up some more 1tb XBOX bundles - then I would buy this and an XBOX to go with it!

  • I just bought it for the game Forza and the adapter alone! Don't really care about the headset but it doesn't hurt to have a spare one around the house!

    • Im tempted to buy a second just for Forza and the adapter hahaha
      such a good deal

      • If you do then you can probably just resell the headset or use it for your phone :)

    Big W site wasn't working for me, so I checked out ebay, big w also selling for same price there and possible to get 3% cashback with cashrewards, and use an ebay voucher:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Polk-4-Shot-Wireless-Gaming-Heads…

  • Thanks got one!! What an awesome deal.

  • Warning - the game doesn't work online and never did.

  • I got A50 gen 2 very awesome headset super costy tho like 400 brand new but im selling mine because im getting A40 to match my halo console

    • +4

      Cool story

    • My condolences. Surely you can buy some Halo stickers to put on them rather than doing that massive downgrade.

  • Thanks OP. Grabbed the Forza version of the deal. Will go well with my new Xbox from the Target deal a couple of days ago.

  • +2

    Not sure if everyone is aware but BigW is not actually the seller here, just a middleman. for any after sales support you will have to deal with Movies and Games Plus https://www.bigw.com.au/partners/Movies%20and%20Games%20Plus

    So for example even if you pick up the item from the store you cannot return it to the store but will have to send it to M&G plus at your cost plus extra amount to cover the initial 'free' postage.

  • Do the headset gets hot under the ear?

  • +1

    how does this connect? can i use it with my pc?

  • Does this work with xbox 360 also?

    • The game wont..

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Grabbed the Forza version because I have MCC….After checkout I remembered I also have Forza still unopened…Oh well guess thats someones christmas present sorted.

  • +1

    Would these headphones work on the PS4 as well? I have a PS4 but I have a friend who has a One and would give him the game, and plus I was looking for some headphones.

    • would like to know this as well, dont really want a second pair of headphones just for the other console

      • +2

        I have been searching and apparently the headphones will work with the PS4 wired when connecting the 3.5mm headphone jack into the PS4 controller. However the wireless function won't work.

        • Well at least its a solution. thanks for that

  • Got the Forza! Thanks for the post! :)

  • Just got the shipping notice, pretty fast turn around

    • Yea mine arrived 18hrs after i purchased it

  • +1

    just ordered this with halo for my new xbox one!

  • +1

    I don't know what edition these are - but make sure that if they're first gen, you get the free boom mic extension (as there were issues with the microphone).

    Link is here:

  • Can anyone else actually order them? I'm not sure if they are out of stock or not but when I enter my postcode in it says no delivery, no simple collection point available and not available in store.

    • Yes they are out of stock sorry

  • Hopefully these come back in stock!

  • +2

    Mine arrived yesterday. Came with the boom mic as promised. Have to admit, it is fantastic. Sound quality is amazing, comfortable as hell and set up took me about two minutes and that includes the update. Was playing Phantom Pain with them on and it took immersion to the next level. I was setting up an ambush and could hear footsteps from behind, setting up an ambush on me. Best $88 I've spent in a long time.

  • im so pissed off. they refunded me to my paypal. they didnt even leave a note, just simply a refund. god im annoyed this was a great deal.

  • Yep, i got refunded too. Not stoked. How's the bloody cheek of it - first i knew about it was "we're please to inform a refund has been actioned"

  • +1

    Not too sure if this will help anyone but I decided to check the Big W store at about 6AM and noticed they were in stock again. I must have purchased the last one (and it has been dispatched) but checking every once in a while might be worth it to see if it comes back in stock again! Might get lucky :)
