Went to Sony store in Nunawading today and the store rep confirmed the MDR 1000x were around $499 for mid - January stock. Not sure if it was a boxing day only promotion but didn't see any advertisements for it.
You are not getting a good deal on a Sony product unless you pay 60% of the RRP price.
I don't know if it's available today but the Sony MDR-100ABN was $199 at Sony store/boutiques yesterday
Good price! Anyone tried the 100ABN model before and can give some feedback? I too would love the 1000X model but also need it around $300 before I'll pull the trigger.
I'm using it. It's pretty good. Fashion and provide noice cancelling which is really useful on the plane. And it's wireless. Sound quality is better than Bose, but you can't expect too much as it's Bluetooth + NC. 1000 just has better noice cancelling, but worse wearing experience.
For half the price of the QC35s, I'd say they're a steal (if you can get it for $199 still). Everything (sound quality, comfort, ANC, wireless connectivity) is pretty much on par with Bose except maybe build as these are mostly plastic. I haven't tried the 1000X myself so I can't help you there :P
There seemed to be a moderate amount of stock left at my local store, but the blue ones sell out awfully quick.
These 1000x review very well against the qc35.
But Qc35 with $399 price tag was so price competitive.
$399 on these if you're a part of Sony X.
Yeah I'm trying to decide whether to pull the trigger…
How to join Sony X?
and how do you go about becoming a part of sony X?
Anyone on Sony x willing to help me out?
Not online its not, listing $699?
In store, not online.
super interested in these but waiting for another $150 off…
