Beats by Dr. Dre urBeats Red $29 (Was $129) @ Big W

1240

I know the RRP is exaggerated, but for $29 is still a good deal.
I'm not sure if it's nationwide or local store, but I got mine from Mt Ommaney shopping centre in QLD.

    • $39 is urbearts 2?

      • 15124 - beats urbeats 2 wired in ear headphones matt black

    • Damm! None in WA

    • Thanks. You should share that script ;)

      Looks like no stock left in BIG W Mt Ommaney!

      Wow OZB people are really quick… :)

    • +1

      Gone at 4000, BIG W Macarthur too

      • normal price as at 23/08 afternoon

  • +3

    i think the price of the 2 earphones to the right are even better to be honest!

    • Others are good too. The far right one might have lightning connection and it's model 2. While the one I posted is model 3. I'm no expert, but others are welcome to correct me if I got it wrong.

      • Ur beats 3 was released with a ligntning connection and AUX connection. ur beats 2 was only released with AUX connection. Ur beats 2 comes in the black packaging like that so it must me a clearance of old stock.

        • +1

          I can confirm the $29 one is AUX connection.

        • +1

          @youness935: i think the one on the left us Urbeats 1 and on the right is Ur beats 2

        • What's a lightning connection?

        • +13

          @Triton: a useless one

        • +1

          @Triton: for iPhones

      • Looks like these to me:

        Beats EP $97
        Urbeats3 (red) $29
        Powerbeats2 $149
        Urbeats2 $39

        • +1

          I think you're right, so I got the latest one for $29 :-)

        • +2

          Urbeats 3 is in a white packaging with a clear plastic front so its not that model. I think those are Urbeats 1 (first model to be released).

        • @alphonts:

          I have seen listings for Urbeats 3 using both styles of packaging…although those listings may just be using the wrong picture!

          Urbeats 1 makes more sense, given the pricing! (Although, the lower price could also be due to the less popular colour)

          Also, I should have said, it's Powerbeats2 Wireless, not Powerbeats2 (wired).

        • edit : error

    Anyone know if this is nationwide???

    • +1

      Can confirm it is.

    • Not here at Woden in Canberra

      • +2

        Canberra is a territory :)

        Sorta like PNG used to be and NT still is,

  • I see a BeatsX in the back, is that discounted too?

    • No, only the ones in the pic.

  • +1

    Are these the same one Telstra were selling off cheap?
    The RRP was only $45 on them, but they were such a steal for $9/$14 :D

    • Selling what? And can we still get them for that price.

    • +2

      Those were HTC branded 'urBeats', left over from when they had a stake in the Dr Dre brand and had them in their phones.

  • What's with the orginal prices for headphones wow.
    What's best models of the bunch have heard of the name before but never purchased any.
    Just curious what models are older and newer in the picture as have no clue to compare.
    Nationwide?

    • Apple are still selling urbeats for 129.95, but it says urbeats 3 on the apple website. They look a little different, perhaps Big W are selling off version 2 or 1. https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/MRTU2PA/A/urbeats3-ear…

    • I held in my hand the $29 and $39 to compare, but couldn't find anything written on both boxes to tell me which is the latest model, but the staff member said the $29 one is the latest model. For $29, I don't think I have much to lose.

      • +6

        You are better off searching the internet on your phone for the answer than to believe a staff member. It sounds like they gave you dud information.

        • I did use staticice, youtube and ebay but no definitive answer. I like the sound, so it's worth it anyway.

        • @youness935: The one on the right is Urbeats 2. The red one is def not Urbeats 3.
          You can tell from the head of it. Different design to urbeats 3

  • These are urbeats2

    • I'm assuming you mean the $29. what about the $39?

  • Anyone has figured out whether it is national wide? Or just that particular store?

    Thanks

  • +1

    Thanks Op got the Ur beats for $39. Lady at the counter confirmed it’s nation wide

    • Nationwide, that's great for others.

      • Surprisingly their website does not get updated with this price.

    • +1

      Here’s a receipt if it helps anyone

  • Anyone feel like uploading their recipt?

  • $29 vs $39 which one is better ?

  • +1

    Not much cheaper than ebay but still cheaper. Nice find

    • +1

      I have never bought genuine beats from eBay. 3 sets all fake

      • Fool me thrice… shame on Dr Dre?

  • so these are all wired? (ie, no wireless/bluetooth?)

    • powerbeats for 149 are wireless

  • +8

    Didnt know Dr.Dre collaborated with ubereats to make earphones

    • I read Ubereats as well when I first saw the box.

    No stock in Melbourne Central /Q.V. store.

  • Can anyone confirm it’s in melbourne???

    • Interested to know also. I just want one pair, not to sell off.

      • checked with QV store, all sold out lol

    • +1

      I have tried calling almost every store in Melb. None have them.
      Head office told me Doncaster and lillydale but the rep for doncaster said none left.
      Big W Sunshine told me it was only a 24 hour sale and they would be back to normal now. Seems to me like both store reps are going to take the stock and sell them :D
      True dodgy store reps

  • +5

    Finally, the price is closer to the actual value of the product

    • +2

      It's closer, but could still come down another $9.

  • does anyone know when the sale will end? or is it a clearance sale?

    • Looks like clearance so once they gone they gone.

  • +3

    Can someone upload a receipt or a closeup of the barcode on the "Special" tag? Might be able to pull up locations with stock.

  • +5

    No stocks at hurstville westfield

    • Thanks, saved my time

  • +1

    Would other stores price match?
    JB for example?

  • +7

    Still $29 too much.

  • +2

    No stock at Westfield garden city QLD

  • +14

    I've got my affairs in order (ready for the negs) so here goes:

    These are not even worth $29.
    I'd say $20 would be reasonable, and $10 would be a bargain.

    • +4

      I agree. Even my cheap Xiaomi ones sound better than these urbeats (tested both with a friend). You are really paying only for the brand name rather than a quality product so dont expect your mind to be blown.

      • +1

        Huh.. Then stuff that. I'm happy with the xiaomi ones.

      • +1

        I am using the Xiaomi neckband earphone now. Great sound for 60 aud.

  • +2

    No stock in WA :(

  • +8

    Let's be honest, better than beats by Chris Brown.

  • 4 x $29 @ Runaway Bay. Confirmed in person, they were urBeats 1st gen contrary to what OP claims.

  • Just saw someone walk out of Big W Lilydale with three, they only have the solo 2 for $99 left

  • Forgive me if I am wrong but doesn't look like they are necessarily the same reductions between stores?
    https://imgur.com/a/CQsEeBs (strangely enough it's not wanting to show)

    • Someone above was told it was a 24 hour sale, so might be finished. It could be that it's just the Beats EP that remain on sale at $97.

      • Oh yeah that would be likely. OP might need to be changed if that's the case

  • Normal price at Macarthur Central Brisbane QLD!

  • Wired? No thanks.
