  • I've got it delivered from jbhifi deal last week! probably ordered soon after deal was posted.
    I'll give the 1st gen a miss

    Refurbished 1st gen and still more expensive than the one from JB-Hifi deal.

  • Wow I got excited as I missed out on the jbhifi deal. I didn't see the 1st gen part, and the refurb part haha :(
    ps if anyone is regretting their jbhifi purchase, please let me know!

    For ~$43 more the WH-1000XM2 is $322.05 @ Mobileciti. This is the latest version and brand new. If you managed to purchase discounted DJ's gift cards in this deal, then you can try price matching at DJ with Mobileciti's online price of $339 (E.g $340*.80= $272)

    • Thanks for the information,
      My sony headphones just broke >.> the plastic ring broke from my very old and used pair and I dont think its repairable.
      Fingers crossed they can price match it
      Cheers

      • David Jones Melbourne didnt have any stock in black & didnt ask them about price matching
        Called up two JB's in the city they can only do $371
        Called again and price matched JB elizabeth store

          That's funny. JB allowed a price match for their brand new 2nd gen stock against a 1st gen refurbished?.

        • @hollykryten: as in the price 322.05 from mobile city and turns out it wasnt the correct model it was the h.ear 2 headphones.
          I wanted the 1000XM2 which the lowest price i could get was 399 which was too much still

        • @Dangit:

          the price 322.05 from mobile city and turns out it wasnt the correct model it was the h.ear 2 headphones.

          Is that what David Jones said? This is definitely the WH-1000XM2 and not the h.ear 2 model you're referring to. They might be trying to avoid the price match by stating it's not the correct model. If you're not convinced, you can also try confirming with the Mobileciti rep that it is indeed the 1000XM2.

          Edit: Ah just noticed your reply above, so who said that is was the h.ear 2 model?

        • @stuhtb: JB did,
          I had thought they were the same model (jb doesnt have the 1000XM2 on the site for some reason) I called over the phone to price match and I went into the store and noticed that there were two different models.
          I tried to get the Mobilecity price 339 but they explained cant price match ebay and offered it for $399 which is still $80 over the ebay price.
          I showed them the earlier deal were the same set of headphones were $280 from JB and they said it was a supplier funded sale.
          Back to the drawing board for now I'm not too sure if I'll get the 1000XM2.

        • @Dangit: Oh I see. Yeah these pretty much went out of stock in every JB store so most stores won't have this. As for the price match, they won't match the eBay price ($322) but try another store and show them Mobileciti's actual website like I have linked above (not their eBay page). You will have a better chance of getting a price match. If that's not possible, then you can also try price matching at Harvey Norman with the same method, although you will end up paying $339 instead.

          Also, unless you're planning on using discounted gift cards to purchase this, why not just get it from Mobileciti for $322 on their eBay store?

        • @stuhtb: Spoke to Harvey Norman Rep in City, advised them of the website and they said they can do it.
          Idm a little extra to get it asap,
          I will go grab them at lunch after checking the display models and see if the design flaw is still present (https://imgur.com/a/GY36q)
          Hopefully all good to go
          Thanks again

    This is a used one, and first gen which is known to have issues. Sorry, but at this price it is just not a good deal.

  • +1

    Thought I might chime in with my receient experience. I bought a similar refurbished model via the Sony eBay store, the refurbished item failed within a month, I complained and customer service sent out a brand new one. Everything has been hunky dory since! I hope this helps

    • did they send you another 1000X or XM2?

    • I myself also got a refurb item (action camera). Besides superficial scratches, it hasn't failed me yet the last 2 years.

      Again posted I this as an alternative for those who missed out because JB deal has already expired.

      • +1

        Why not wait for a deal on a 2nd gen.

        Next thing you know next week some brand new 2nd gen are going for around $260.

        • +1

          Thats true and its really up to Ozbargainers. If people willing wait, another deal would definitly pop up, but it could be next week or next month or a few months after

          I'm just putting the bargain out there. Up to people if they want to buy it or not.

  • 1st Gen and refurb. This doesn't seem like a very good deal at all.

  • +2

    Calm down people. It's most likely factory seconds and not refurbed used ones. I can say this as I bought the xm2 from Sony Ebay store and it came in a fully sealed original box that has never been opened. Although it was marked as factory seconds, inside everything was brand spanking new. I took a risk and it paid off.

    • Even although it says this?. If it's just factory seconds then why does it need to be professionally tested?.

      "Refurbished: This item is manufacturer refurbished, has been professionally tested and approved by Sony"

      • Yeah I was apprehensive because of the wording. I just accepted the possibility that it may be used with some markings. But to my surprise it was brand spanking new

  • +1

    I got a pair of the JB sale ones,used them for an hour and realised I don’t like those type very much. I'll part with them

    • More than willing to take it from your hands.

      • Where you at? I can post, I suppose. I'm North Brisbane.

        • I'm in NSW, Homebush to be exact.

        • I have sent you a private message.
