  Definitely on sale for this price at other stores - I picked up a pair earlier in the week from the store at North Lakes, Queensland.

    Do you happen to remember what the "before" price was at Officeworks? It seems odd to me that it would be $200 at Jb and $60 at officeworks

      They were originally $199.95, then reduced to $120, and then further reduced again to $60.

  From what I can tell RRP in the US is $60, and never really sells for more than $40. Reviews not great either. Not the worst price but I have no clue how they came up with $199 as a regular price

    Not sure where you got that RRP from. Skullcandy sells them for USD99.99 on their own website. Reviews are pretty decent - good. If you're expecting great reviews for wireless headphones, you need to spend about five times more than what these are at $60.

    I think you might have seen the Amazon "used" price. The "new" price I found on Amazon was here at $70USD. Other than that, they might be hard to find given that they're now a superseded model: the Hesh 3 just came out.

      lol when Amazon does the local deal here the hesh 3 will be priced at $80AUD i reckon.

  Crazy expensive for no good reason, no noise cancellation, nothing really special as far as I can see.

  Only difference to El cheapo headsets is Memory foam.

    I mean, do you own a pair of them? Reviews for them have been average to above average, and $60 for a set of wireless headphones is a steal in itself.

      No I don't own the and don't plan to, as I said nothing special about them to justify the cost

        It's like arguing why someone would buy a Corolla when you can get an Audi.

        @Ryanek:
        Yeah and this is ozbargain, we need to see the value to justify the deal.

        Again obviously we disagree, and that's ok.

  Can anybody pls give me feedback on their quality.
  Was looking at low 100s for a pair but if this is worth $200 in quality. I buy

    They seem okay to me, although I can't really compare them to anything except low end wired Sennheisers (sennheiser hd 201). I think the reviews (eg pcmag) are accurate : 3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars. The audio quality wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. They didn't sound bad or distorted. It has a built in mic for phone calls, along with a plugin mic (I think you plug it in to the aux port). The headband is comfortable, the ear pieces form a decent seal around my ears and block out noise well because of that, but they were a little tight on my ears, ie I'd like bigger ear pieces ideally. But yeah, for $60 I guess it's worth it.

      Samsungnote10 on 10/10/2017 - 09:19

      Thanks for that
      From the feedback I'm getting it looks like it's nowhere worth $200
      But more $100

        I'd agree. No idea why jb are still trying to sell it for they price. Interestingly, they're selling the newly released "hesh 3" for $219.. Oh I just noticed they decreased the price of the Hesh 2 down to $149

  Thanks OP. Picked up a set at the Cannington store WA, there were two left on the shelf behind the counter. I'm no audiophile and would not pay $200 for headphones anyway, but I'm very satisfied with a $60 price tag. Very comfortable to wear.

  There were a couple of other varieties of headphones on clearance, some smaller phillips for $40 and a couple of other types from $149 to $60 but the skullcandy was the biggest discount. If you are considering new headphones and are near Cannington it's worth a visit.

  Just trying a pair I bought.
  I'm not an audiophile but I like heavy bass. And these are surprisingly good and yet comfortable!

  Very happy with it
