    I've been looking for a pair of QC 25's and the cheapest I can find is trying to price match http://www.boombeats.com.au/bose-quietcomfort-25-qc25-samsun… with Officeworks for $284 delivered. You have to call Officeworks to get the deal though, can't get it in store.

    • tight-ass on 13/11/2015 - 13:34

      I thought I read somewhere on one of the other OzBargain posts that Officeworks were no longer doing the price match against Boombeats as they weren't an authorised Bose seller, regardless of whether you phoned them on 1300 OFFICE or went in store.

      I take it you had success phoning them, if so how long ago?

    Called OW this morning. She knew straightaway I was trying to pricematch boombeats and told me that they have been informed not to match boombeats prices as the stock wasn't Australian.

    • tarzan on 14/11/2015 - 10:41

      you must have got the lady I spoke to earlier! Sorry to hear that. Read my comment below

  • tarzan on 14/11/2015 - 10:40

    That was a battle. Apparently there's been a company e-mail that office works has sent out saying Boombeats is not Australian stock and therefore they can't price match. I got to the payment part & got rejected as the call centre lady just received the e-mail at that time!
    Quickly called back & managed to get a different staff member who obviously hadn't checked their e-mail yet & got the order processed! Get in there now!

      Fingers crossed they don't cancel those who got in before the directive was issued

    • bextavaz on 23/11/2015 - 11:45

      I feel like this is a cop out on behalf of OW - given the fact that BB's website states that all products are genuine and either from an Aus Distributor or direct from manufacturer. Further to the "identical product", they even talk about manufacturer warranties in the T&C's:

      Guarantee Policy
      All of the products sold on the Boombeats Down Under website are genuine products sourced from an official Australian distributor or direct from the manufacturer.
      […]
      The manufacturer's warranties are limited to physical defects in the materials, parts and workmanship used in making the product. Abnormal conditions, deliberate abuse and damage due to accidents, operator's error, or unauthorised service attempts are excluded from any warranty claims.

      Based on this I see no reason why they can suggest it's not Aus stock.

      • Nousernamehere on 23/11/2015 - 12:48

        I emailed Bose, they said they're not an authorised reseller of theirs.

    • brendyboomboom on 25/11/2015 - 18:57

  • websterp on 15/11/2015 - 16:56

    An eBay seller just posted this:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Bose-QC25-QuietComfort-Noise-…

    Price looks too good to be true but just bit bullet and bought one. Worst that can happen is I'll get my money back through Paypal two or so months later. He/She is claiming this to be AU stock and brand new(or money back). Two more remaining after I bought one.

    • sleepyowl on 15/11/2015 - 17:37

      I purchased one similar to this and it arrived pretty quick. Upon receiving it I noticed there was something ever so slightly off by it, yep they were counterfeits. ALMOST perfect counterfeits but some very small details gave it away. I'm currently trying to return them now.

      • websterp on 15/11/2015 - 17:45

        Can I ask how you discovered it was a fake? Was it inferior build quality or NC not working at all or working with very little effect? If that is the case then this seller is falsely advertising these to be AU stock. I highly doubt there would be any difference between an AU model and a US model (the type where the counterfeiters usually use to copy packaging, serials, etc.) but I wish there is a way to find out. Maybe I'll take it to a Bose store and they will be able to help me out. All the above assuming that this is a counterfeit though.

        • sleepyowl on 15/11/2015 - 17:54

          Haha dude I gave in to temptation and just bought this one too. Praying its not fake now…

          Yes so it was definitely cheaper plastic than on my real ones. The sound itself was almost identical, NC worked fine. Some other dead give aways were the LED being significantly brighter on the fakes, cut/finishing not perfect, the case suede was cheaper/not as nice feeling, and finally the last give away was the serial not registering. The first thing I'm going to do with this pair is try to register it, if it fails… its fake and I'll be done with it haha

        • websterp on 17/11/2015 - 11:28

          @ohhidayo:
          Hi Mate,

          I think we are in for a rough ride with this one - Paypal could be the only saviour.
          More of these are popping up with item location all over Australia -Just one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Bose-QC25-QuietComfort-Noise-…
          And suckers like us buying each and every one of those. I could see few identical listings last night under multiple ebay seller IDs and all seem to have been snapped up by this morning except this one.

          As you said I wouldn't even open the box. Will try to register as soon as I get hold of it using the SN on the box and if it fails a dispute will be opened. I have a very strong feeling these would be coming from China hence the long delivery time he is asking for. Here is another theory - Maybe the seller gets them dropshipped and then posts back to individual customers via AusPost. Worst case scenario - He could have withdrawn the cash and disappeared, coz he has 10+days to do all that.

          BTW this morning I managed OW to price match boombeats. I guess it all depends on how lucky you get with the person on the phone. The lady I spoke with over the weekend had been too smart for me but this one processed the order no questioned asked. So one way or the other I'll get a QC25 for <$300 and assuming this seller is genuine one set is going to end up on eBay soon.

        • sleepyowl on 17/11/2015 - 11:39

          @websterp: ah damn… I think I'm done with trying to get them for cheap, If these are indeed fakes I'll just return them instantly and be done with it haha

          @ohhidayo:

          I'm struggling to understand how either of you thought these were legit in the first place? Even with PayPal it's not just as easy as saying 'they're fake cause I said they are, give me my money back'.

          What will you do if they do register on Bose's website? Even Bose themselves say:

          Counterfeit products carry no warranty from Bose, even if you register them. Successful registration of the serial number on a product does not guarantee authenticity of the product. Purchasing directly from Bose or an authorized dealer is the best way to ensure you're buying a genuine Bose product. If you think you may have purchased a counterfeit product, email us.

  • p1owz0r on 16/11/2015 - 08:59

    Well, I missed the boombeats price so figured i would price match at DJs given that I had a $30 voucher which was more than the 5% I would have saved at Officeworks.

    So I went to Burwood. First guy I spoke to - no we don't price match. So I showed him the DJs price promise. Oh, well we only match to harvey norman and JB. So I show him again. Best speak to my manager.

    Same thing from the manager, can't match it's below cost. We are Dick Smith, not DJs and we have different rules - so I google it and could not find different rules for Dick Smith in DJs or exclusions. APparently she will get a bollocking from her boss if she processes it. I do appreciate the problem, but I ask to speak to the store manager. Not here. OK cool, well whoever is in charge. No one is in charge. Righto, so you don't have a duty manager? OK I'll call her.

    Duty manager comes and approves it in about 1 minute. Overall 20-30 mins just to get what they promise their customers online.

    Still, very pleased with the headphones, i live next to a pretty busy road and I can sit there with a fan on half a metre away and not hear anything.

    • Nousernamehere on 16/11/2015 - 20:45

      Yeah I got the same, although I wanted the iPhone version anyway, but the girl on the phone said there was no differentiation between them on her system, as the Officework's site says they're compatible with both, unlike all other stores which have the different versions separate.

    • 976925 on 21/11/2015 - 01:50

      Yeah i got the same one. I'm going to call OW tomorrow to see if they can replace it as the inline remote and microphone cable is different so it means you cannot use the + or - volume button. While the microphone function still works.

      • melmac77 on 23/11/2015 - 13:13

        How did you go with that? DO officeworks stock the android version at all?

        • 976925 on 01/12/2015 - 20:47

          No, they don't stock android version as OW supplier don't have them. You can get the inline remote separately from Bose for $49.95 but if thats the case then you should order it at boombeats http://www.boombeats.com.au/bose-quietcomfort-25-qc25-samsun… for $298.99

          Do a bit of reading on this company and you'll see why you should avoid them. Hence why everyone is price matching with Officeworks in the first place to not have to deal with Boombeats!

  • Brodenn on 20/11/2015 - 11:42

    For anyone still looking another option - I just ordered some all black ones on the Qantas store using points plus pay and then used a 10% coupon (QFFXMAS15) as well. I paid $80 + 40,000 points which I'm happy with but you can use as many or as little points as you want.

    I ordered these on Friday from Officeworks and asked them to price match with boombeats website. I told the guy it was $298 from boombeats and he said yes we get lots of ppl asking to price match with them. So i said great how much can you do them for (seeing as you get the 5% beat it discount). The guy on the phone says $237. I had to ask him a couple of times b/c that had to be a mistake. Gave my CC details, still thought it was a mistake. Received the receipt 2 min later, still thought it was a mistake. Didn't receive them Friday (as i ordered before 11:30 am), still thought it was a mistake. Called back in the PM and they said price matches take longer b/c they need to get approved from a manager, still thought it was a mistake and they would reject the order. Checked my CC statement and it had the debit of $237, still thought it was a mistake.

    Just received them today (Monday). Still can't believe i only paid $237 for these babies, merry christmas to me.

    Note: They do not have Android versions and although if you call and ask for Android they will just confirm they are but they only stock the iphone/ipad. You can just buy the android cable from bose if you need.

          Not entirely sure I guess you can call them up and see what the price match is. I'm not sure why I got them so cheap but I thought I'd just get 5% off the matched price. You could say a friend got them for $237. Been using them all day and they are an awesome headphone.

      Just a quick question regarding the iphone vs the android versions - will the iphone version still work on an android phone? I'm buying one for a mate for his 40th, and I'm pretty convinced he won't be using it other than during his travels, so should the iphone version be suffice on his android phone?

      Edit - just saw you reply below, whoops..:)

  • montynasser on 30/11/2015 - 10:31

    Just called Bose if you want the Android cable then it will be AU $49.95 delivered. I have an Android and while you can answer a call, pause and resume music the volume buttons do not work. You also don't get the extra cable with no controls on it (they used to throw them in with the QC 15's). So if this isn't an issue good luck to anyone who can get them this cheap. The price was just too good to return and office works don't sell Android version.

        No dice today with JB HIFI Pitt St, Sydney. The guy told me that you can fake receipts easily these days so they will only match a live website.

          I was offered $309 as a compromise from a JB. Considering taking it.

    Just an update and reminder, try Myer. I tried a couple of jb hifi yesterday and gave another shot at OW but both failed. Then I thought I should give a go with Myer as I remembered they do price match with some conditions. So I tried with the $284 OW receipt, the staff called in and then told me he can only do $287 as $284 is "below their cost price". Well it's not $284 but $3 is not that bad, and I think Myer should be a better choice then OW or JB as both of them are refusing to price match these days.

      didn't think of myer, I did try in DJs today but they said no.

      Did you get the $50 Myer card with that?

        Lucky, i got denied the Officeworks PM. Ended up grabbing from a JB as the headache of shopping around at this time of year while travelling was worth the $10-20. (not very Ozb i know)

      Did you manage to get your headphones? I ordered mine a day before but still waiting for them to be delivered.

      • jlin36 on 09/01/2016 - 04:55

        Yes, it is available for me to pick them up since 5 days ago, I think I bought the last pair from online store. Good Luck~
