    I paid via BPAY on Monday for 2 separate orders. Called their customer service yesterday and complained. Today I got an email asking me to provide them with BPAY ref numbers as they are unable to trace the payment… DRAMA! Not nice Sony!

      • polstralian on 28/01/2016 - 16:09

        Thank you for your comment. I should have worded it differently - I did not complain yesterday but I followed up on the order. From my experience BPAY never takes more than 24 hours (paying off credit cards etc.) Although I am not saying that this always should be the case. What is surprising though is the fact that as of today they still cannot locate the payment.

      that's why better to use cc or debit card

      • polstralian on 29/01/2016 - 11:40

        If I only could I would certainly do it. There was a glitch on the website when placing the order and cc payments did not work. BPAY was the only option.

  • Neon Kitten on 28/01/2016 - 18:24

    FWIW (too late for the deal now, but for future reference) I got my ZX330BT headphones delivered this afternoon, and the box was not damaged at all.

    It was, however, in the wrong language on the front of the box - looks like a batch meant for China accidentally landed here, and they just decided to sell it rather than send it back.

    But yeah, absolutely no "box damage" at all :)

    • vandelay on 28/01/2016 - 19:06

      so your's doesnt have english on front of box?

      I own 770 headphones (bought retail), box is the same english/chinese on front, eng/chi/kor on back

        no it has english and chinese.

        on the back it has both language + korean

        not sure why that is not sellable?

        • Neon Kitten on 29/01/2016 - 04:27

          It's the first time I'm seen any Sony product with prominent Chinese wording on the front of the box - usually Sony Australia would sell products packaged for Europe.

          It's the only thing I can think of that would explain "box damage" because the product I received was otherwise in perfect condition.

          A bargain regardless :)

    • bozbargain on 29/01/2016 - 11:02

      Same here, have had many Sony products but don't recall ever having seen such prominent Chinese writing on the box. I've ordered 'carton damaged' headphones from Sony.com.au before and those were really damaged boxes.

      • first in line on 29/01/2016 - 20:27
        +1

        maybe the products was suppose to be for China and got sent to Australia instead. They didn't want to ship it back hence the cheap price.

  • NeymarJR on 28/01/2016 - 18:52

    Received mine today as well.

    Box is in excellent condition and not damaged.

    thanks OP.

    ===

    How do ppl find the quality of this headphone compared Beats etc..

    ==
    Also there is suppose to be a setting to change the quality of the headset
    Suppose to press power+ vol-/vol+ to change quality

    Though I can't seem to change it.

    • Neon Kitten on 29/01/2016 - 04:29

      You need to do the quality-change thing from a powered-off state. So if the headphones are powered on, hold down Power for a couple of seconds to turn them off.

      Then press and hold the volume+ button and press the power button for 2 seconds until you see a light. It will flash blue briefly, then red to indicate battery charge (3 flashes is fully charged) and THEN it will flash blue 1-3 times. 2 flashes is SBC High Quality, while 3 flashes is AAC.

      • tyler.durden on 29/01/2016 - 06:50

        Yes I know about that since i read the manual.

        I am just not sure if it changed cos the light flashes blue too much so it is hard to tell

  • Black Hole on 28/01/2016 - 19:23

    I have received the Bluetooth headphones and there was no damage to the box. It sounds amazing. I would bought 2 if I knew it sounds this good.

  • hippyhippy on 28/01/2016 - 19:49

    Got mine too.. totally brand new.. they must be running this out for the new model.

    • hippyhippy on 28/01/2016 - 20:22

      Just tried it. I have 3 other bt heatphones to compare against. These are actually pretty good. Base isnt great but for 40 bucks these are awesome.

      • donnot on 28/01/2016 - 21:43

        What do you mean when you say the bass isn't great? Not enough of it or the quality of it isn't good? Also, do they get very loud?

        • hippyhippy on 28/01/2016 - 23:51

          Max loudness isnt that loud.. but still ok. My other headphones at plantronic backbeat pro which excellent. For 40 bucks u really cant complain. Would not be worth 150 though.

        • ChillBro on 01/02/2016 - 21:39

          @hippyhippy: How are the backbeat pros? Especially compared to these cheap Bluetooth ones?

      • mewdex on 28/01/2016 - 22:26

        I was just going to write this. Tested it now, quality is good, but lacks bass ;/

        Buuut A bt phone with a good bass would be $100+, so I'm ok with this one.

        • donnot on 28/01/2016 - 22:35

          I can probably add a bit with EQ on them. How's the max volume?

        • watty on 29/01/2016 - 08:59

          I thought the bass was pretty decent. Especially for a bt can.

  • widzz on 29/01/2016 - 11:41

    Anyone can comments for this Sony BT headphone compared to Air-Fi Matrix2 headphone?
    I'm trying to buy Sony one from gumtree (close enough to the sale price here :D) but wondering if the sound will be better than my Matrix2…

    • Pulseidon on 29/01/2016 - 13:57

      If you already have the Matrix 2s, sound improvement (if there's any at all) on the Sonys will definitely not be substantial enough to warrant the $100 or so you'll pay on Gumtree.

      I have Audio-Technica ATH-M50xs and they're basically the best sound in this price-range. But they're not wireless so I got a pair of the Sonys to wear to the gym (wouldn't have paid more that the $40ish dollars I got them for though).

      Probably not exactly what you were looking for but hey, best I can offer. A few reviews of the Matrix 2s say they have great sound quality for the price so I doubt the Sonys will be any better.

  • ChillBro on 29/01/2016 - 19:41

    Used the bluetooth headphones today and it surpassed my expectations! They were lightweight, produced decent volume and it connected via bluetooth hassle-free.

    Should note that there is virtually no noise cancelling/isolation. Also don't expect to use it for a phone call in a loud place. The microphone picks up EVERYTHING.

  • pitoui on 29/01/2016 - 22:01

    Received my BT headphones today, although also had a curious call from the driver asking if he could drop them off without a signature. That was fine although he asked if he could take the paperwork attached to the box which I thought was weird. Either way I agreed and he left them exactly where I asked. Any reason for him to ask for the paperwork?

  • AyjeofSpades on 30/01/2016 - 10:10

    Thanks OP. Even without the $25 voucher I'm glad I jumped on this deal.

  • tryonthis on 30/01/2016 - 16:40

    Has anyone compared the max loudness levels between an iPhone and an Android phone? My Nexus 6P doesn't seem to go as loud as iPhone when using the Sony BT speakers (or when connecting to an aux port in a car). Any way around this?

    • pax on 02/02/2016 - 07:47

      The volume limiter where you cannot raise it above a certain level is a know point for headphones, and there is an app to get around it. It is apparently part of Google's design to limit ear damage.

      I can't find the app for the life of me right now, but I know I looked it up a while ago because my wife was annoyed about it on her Nexus tablet with headphones plugged in.

  • mewdex on 31/01/2016 - 21:35

    I think that this BT Headphone uses nuclear energy. I'm playing it during the entire day, for 3 days, and still running. Amazing!

    About the sound, I feel a difference on max level when I play on the laptop and when I play on the phone. On the phone, the max is lower than on the laptop

    For anyone who BPay'd but their status is still on payment pending, I rang them yesterday, and they said that they are awaiting stock into the warehouse, and that the status would remain until their receive stock.

    They confirmed they had received my payment though.

    Weird for them not to have a status in between for awaiting stock, but that is their system.

    • f4te on 02/02/2016 - 08:04

  • fuzor on 02/02/2016 - 13:05

    These are great headphone for the money. The only downside is that it doesn't have aptX in the bluetooth profile.

    • robertm on 05/02/2016 - 10:11

      That aptX looks like a bit of a scam anyway. 1 mbit/sec should be all that is required and bluetooth v2 and up support 3 mbit/sec.

      • splats on 05/02/2016 - 18:09

        in regards to bluetooth versions, this states it supports v3.0
        I googled the differences between v2 and v3 and unless it states it supports v3 + HS it wont be much different?

        I only ask as I just brought a cheap bluetooth dongle for my windows 10 pc. Music sounds great but there is the odd skip or pause in the music every 4 or 5 seconds.
        Would getting a v3 blutooth dongle help this?

        • robertm on 07/02/2016 - 10:25

          Yes I think you are right. v2 vs v3 with no HS should be very similar.

          I doubt lack of v3 + HS would cause skipping.

          I would first try checking the dongle in another PC and seeing if the problem still occurs. These sort of things are often software related.

          Also could be range related - a cheap dongle may have an inferior radio which wouldn't transmit as far.
