Spotted in their latest catalogue at 50% off. Even at half the RRP it only works out a few bucks cheaper than the cheapest stores on StaticIce, until you factor in postage that is, so it's not a bad deal from a national retailer with a zillion locations.
The 170s are supposed to be almost as good as the 220s that were part of the insane LogitechShop deal a few months ago. Comparison here:

Just paid $29.95 or thereabouts for the 100 series :( I think they sound pretty good. Were quite good for use on a plane.
They sound good but the build quality is poor. I have returned mine 3 times under warranty (each time they have sent the next model up) because the connections in the headphone jack always come loose. I do not jog or do anything to cause this I just use them for my train commute each day and keep them in their case.
After the 4th time they fell apart I pulled apart the headphone jack and noticed they had little to no soldering between the wires and the headphone jack, they were just glued there. I soldered on my own jack and have had no problems since.
Thanks for the tip
Not sure about this model but I got the 100 series like sikeveo did and have no complaints so far. The cable is thick, don't get tangled easily and seems to be quite hardy. Sound quality is excellent considering the price.
I paid $10.50 for the same one at OW around 6 weeks ago…..where is the bargain….. :) good try…
for a start it was hard enough finding an officeworks that stocked them at the price (I couldn't even get a pricematch from other stores)
I settles for $20 for the 100, which are pretty good. I can hear the difference and no complaints yet, I just hope that the cable connection lasts
Is these the ones with a Microphone for iPhone or not? I have heard they have ones with mic see here: http://store.apple.com/au/product/TW382LL/A but
