    Yep they have shut down the site… hmmmm

    Looked at specs for the bluetooth hphones. Old tech, not neodynium magnets, and top response of 20khz. Put me off. Along with Sonys website is faulty everywhere.

    http://www.sony.com.au/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-z…

    • +2

      Why is the top response of 20kHz a problem? Most people can hear that.

      • +3

        20kHz is about the absolute highest frequency that any human can hear. Even then, once you become older(starting roughly at the end of your teens), you can no longer hear those higher frequencies. By the time most people are middle-aged the highest frequency you can hear woul have dropped down to 18/19kHz or even lower.
        You have to be a bat, cat or dog to hear those frequencies (think of those "silent" dog whistles some people use).
        Anyone who disses headphones because of their 20kHz response doesn't have a clue what they're talking about, because they'd be fairly unlikely to be able to hear it anyway

        • +1

          You have to be a bat, cat or dog to hear those frequencies

          Maybe s/he is buying the headphones for the cat

        • I hear to nearly 21khz and I'm not young, but for audiophiles knowing that our bones feel the frequencies above our audible perception, this can be important. Many headphones produce 22 or 24khz.

        • @Bargitrage:

          You are a bat then!

        • @blibster:

          A good looking bat though!

    • +1

      Guess someone is a little butt hurt since they couldn't secure one - making excuses in an attempt to convince themselves they don't want it anymore. Reality is that these headphones are at a phenomenal price and the majority agrees with that. I'm sorry you can't get one due to whatever reason but I must call you out on your critique as incorrect. People who saw the deal yesterday and today were still able to buy a unit or so through various methods mentioned in the above comments. Read through them and see if one of them helps, as an attempt to devalue these headphones to make you feel better is meaningless and quite childish.

      • -4

        Fair assumption, but really have you personally compared the difference between several, old ferite vs new neodynium headphones. New tech often gives much better quality output. That's why I didn't persue these. Fair enough.

  • Maybe they are just clearing old stock as new version coming in???

  • +1

    Is anyone else getting a msg that ' We currently experiencing an unusually high number of visitors on our website, please come back later to buy this product.
    It's working again!

    • I'll keep trying then as I just decided to buy a set and started gettign that error too!

  • Can anyone pls spare a voucher? Thanks will return it once I receive mine just did the survey!

  • +15

    man these voucher beggars are annoying

    • +3

      Yep and a lot of people from when the survey offer first came out have never gotten a $25 voucher. So for those people just doing the survey now hoping to swap with someone else when their voucher comes through may never see it actually arrive

    • +2

      vultures

  • Are people making the BPAY payment or sitting on this to see what the response from Sony is?

    The risk as someone mentioned is that they cannot supply the stock and there is a problem reversing the BPAY payment.

  • I did my order on the first day and when I chose payment by credit card, I got "invalid fingerprint". I clicked 'back' and tried to order again, got the same result so I decided to use bpay option. Just checked my online banking now and seems that I've been charged twice on my credit card (though only 1 order on my Sony account). Did this happen to anyone else?

    • +2

      Other people a few pages back, yes. It's probably just an 'authorisation only' and will disappear in a few days. If not, contact them and complain (or just do a chargeback).

      • Oh ok good to know. Thanks f4te!

  • -1

    keeps prompting too many customer.. same for everyone?

    • +1

      Website cannot. Too many user.

  • Working again!!

    • Well sort of working, still gives "invalid fingerprint" when you try to buy it (android chrome & win 10 IE), but at least you can add it to cart. Will probably work for Bpay, but I don't trust them enough ;)

      • Yeah, still works with edge. Not sure what is going on, but I've got a feeling that they've done a dick smith and oversold.

        • Its only been 7000 clicks plus anyone who bought via cash back sites ;-)
          That's a lot of damaged boxes!

        • +2

          @Infidel: they always can damage more boxes if needed, problem solved :p

  • Just purchased the wireless headphones then. Not expired just yet by the looks of it. I had to resort to bpay though.

    *edit.. if the amount of clicks on this deal relates to the number of sales. It's close to $700,000 in discounts. I suspect a lot of these orders will be refunded.

  • It's not expired. I was still able to place an order just now…Payment via BPay…$1.98 for earbuds…Not a bad deal.

  • +3

    ahhh fark me…forgot the cash rewards.

  • Just advising that I purchased the $67 ones using Bpay just then… (Credit Card seemed to have a problem with Digital fingerprint)

  • OP remove the expired label from post

  • +1

    What happens if they send you the BPAY info and you do not make the payment. Do they reserve the item until you make the payment?

    • +1

      I believe you have 36 hours to pay?

      • ohhh fff….. Paid 37.5hrs later… lets see what happens…

        • +2

          Well I'm pretty sure that's excluding weekends, etc. (as BPay is only processed during business hours), so you're probably fine.

  • Just spoke 2 Sony order went thru with $25 voucher for bt cans thanks op

    • Did they call you to confirm?

  • +2

    Plenty of stock… Listed at full price now. Game over.

  • Anyone received any updates in regards to the status of their order yet? I checked out as guest so I'm not able to track my order via the link in Sony's email for order confirmation.

    • In the confirmation email, click order details for the status of the order.

      • When I click that link it takes me to Sony website and says Order detail is empty. :(

        • If you have an account, Log into your MySony account - My Orders.

          My credit card paid order shows

        • Clicking the link in the email worked for me. I checked out as a guest, no account.

        • @Infidel:
          Email received with receipt, $1.98 MDREX150APB dispatched :)

          But MySony account has not been updated yet.

        • Thanks guys. Link is working now. Payment approved - awaiting dispatch. Hopefully gets delivered before the weekend.

  • I'm still waiting for them to send email status for order as it said complete but the order has not been sent out some sort of call center from the philippines sounds sketchy

  • +1
  • Dispatched. Ta OP.

  • Thank you for shopping at the Sony Store. Please find attached your purchase receipt . Your Sony order has been dispatched and is on its way to you!

  • They are only honoring one of each headphone per customer

    • -1

      So I'm safe if I bought a pair of the Bluetooth, and a pair of the in ears? Or one set only altogether.

      • -2

        one bluetooth, one wired

        all multiple orders will be cancelled and refunded i believe

    • Hmm I bought 2 bluetooth and one wired. So far, just got the invoice of one bluetooth and the wired. I think it's true =(

      How do you heard about that?

    • Unfortunately EC the messenger is being shot for bringing bad news :(

      • +2

        Just got the third invoice. May be I'm a lucky one, but all my items were dispatched.

        • +2

          Enjoy!
          May only affect those placing large orders of 17, killing deal for others.
          My order for 1 of each has been dispatched.

    • -4

      That's incorrect - i received 9 today.

    • That's not true it seems. Mine are dispatched.

    • That information was not correct. Someone was delivered 20 according to my DHL driver :(

  • Anyone got order dispatch confirmation ordering through Bpay? I've ordered just one pair and paid via Bpay on Saturday but payment is still pending on the site

    • same here - waiting and waiting…

    • same here… i paid thru bpay over the weekends..
      we are the pending group… :/ lol

    • me too :(

  • +2

    Emails received for full order with receipts.
    Orders dispatched :)
    MDREX150APB $1.98 1
    MDRZX330BT $37.98 1

    But MySony account has not been updated over an hour after email.

    Placed both orders late on 22/1, so was expecting to miss out on this popular deal.

    • +1

      My orders are the same but they haven't been dispatched yet. Here's hoping it'll come!

    • Many hours after receiving dispatch email, Account updated from Dispatch pending to complete. So don't rely on account status.

    • Payment was by Credit Card around 11pm AEDT 22/1. Dispatch email 25/1 around 2pm.

      MySony account shows
      22-01 Order Status: Order Placed Successfully
      22-01 Payment Status: Payment Approved
      26-01 Delivery Status: Despatch Complete

      From order confirmation email Delivery should take place on a weekday, within seven business days of payment clearance
      Bpay can take days longer to clear than Credit Card.

  • +1

    Have not received an email or an update in MySony account yet :/

  • Got my dispatch order email today confirming my BT headphones I ordered on 22/1. Still waiting for another dispatch order email for the wired earphones that I ordered separately on 23/1. Expecting that perhaps tomorrow.

  • Bought 2 wireless and 1 wired. Got all 3 dispatch emails (with tracking links to DHL)

    Thanks OP :)

    • did u pay by CC
      and when did u pay for it and when did it clear?

      mine still says pending

      • I paid via credit card around 5pm AEST on the 22nd. Got my dispatch email and tracking number on today (25th) around 2pm AEST. Good luck

        • what about in the bank account does payment say pending?

          also you CC is a debit card or proper CC?

          also which voucher code did u use?

        • @tyler.durden:

          Just FYI, I ordered a set of the bluetooth ones with the 25 survey voucher by CC at about 3:00 WST on the 22nd and haven't got any dispatch notification.

        • +1

          @tyler.durden:
          Real credit card. I just checked my account, there is nothing from sony yet (ANZ seems to really take there time to show transactions though, sometimes over a week).

          Just checked my emails, I got 2 from sony. One at 5pm on the 22nd, stating 'your sony store order has been recieved…we have recieved your order and will email you again once it has shipped'. The second at 2pm on the 25th stating '…please find attached your purchase reciept. Your sony order has been dispatched ans is on its way to you.'

          That's all the info i recieved, good luck

        • @tyler.durden:

          How many questions! hahaha Calm down man, you will get your headphones soon.

          Ordered 22/01 ~6pm. Dispatch email around 2pm today

          Don't worry if a payment says pending, this does not mean that they haven't accepted your order yet.

        • @Coffeesnod8:

          actually in my sony accounts it says

          -payment approved
          -dispatch pending

          but in my bank account it says
          -pending

        • @tyler.durden:

          @cuteduck:

          did u use real credit card or debit card?

          I think real CC is faster to get a despatch..

          whereas debit card still says pending in bank account

          who knows why ppl do what they do…

  • Thanks OP.
    Amazing deal :-)

  • +2

    my bpay payment is still 'pending', i had fully expected it to have cleared by monday night. hopefully it is through tomorrow otherwise will have to chase it up [would do so today except pubic holiday]

    • +1

      I think a number of factors delay it

      it was done on a friday night + weekends

      so need to add three days from this monday..

      So I predict at least wednesday.

      This also pending for ppl who pay via debit card

    • +3

      From Commonwealth Bank (other banks should be similar)
      If you make a payment on a weekend or public holiday, or after 6pm (Sydney / Melbourne time) Monday to Friday, the payment will be debited from your account instantly and processed the next business day. The biller will acknowledge the payment as having been made on the next banking business day (this does not include weekends or public holidays).

      So money should be taken from account straight away, transferred to Sony bank account sometime Monday, likely appear as "Payment Approved" by Sony sometime on Wednesday (due to public holiday).

      Then moves to dispatch phase… emails weren't sent for Credit Card orders until 2pm after payment was processed on Monday.

      So earliest emails are likely to go out is tomorrow. As there were a large number of orders, dispatch may be delayed.

      • From Sony order confirmation email Delivery should take place on a weekday, within seven business days of payment clearance

        My estimated delivery date is 27/1 :-)

        DHL tracking link in email.

        Unfortunately on my Android phone, I get an error…
        We have detected a problem with your Flash Player.
        as no Flash Player is installed (could view on computer rather than phone)

        Installed Puffin Web Browser (includes Flash) & can now view on phone.

        • Above was from Dispatch confirmation email.

          Tracking has not updated since late 25/1 - showing both headphones are still at Sydney DHL.

          Update: DHL Tracking now shows "Out for Delivery" at 08:10 - its almost here :-)

  • Got my dispatch email for the Bluetooth headphones just then.

  • -8

    got all me invoices..even multiple orders of the same item

  • just received one of the headphones..goods look in top nick :P

    • are they box damaged?
