  Currently +$265.45 plus 2000 Qantas points @ Qantas Store. Not sure how that compares to other retailers. FYI anyway.

      Points with wine purchase. Woollies sometimes does bonus points.

      I have these, and they are pretty good, but I would look into blockout earphones rather noise cancelling ones. Also it is worth looking at something like the Comply tips to improve isolation and comfort. These are really good but I use an earbud and hot water to clean them regularly as they are a snug fit in the ear canal.

          Use the find tips for your ears option. It says Bose 20. I think they are the same ones for sound sport.

          However, I would look at these with your, decent quality, standard ear buds first, you might not need the Bose ones. When I fly on a plane I use these with standard ear buds and, with the music on. I can’t hear the kid screaming close by.

              @code19: I think places like Officeworks has them. Google around. Best of luck.

  You get the soundsport from the $20 eBay deal? Lucky bugger

  These things rarely go on sale. I got a set from the qantas store as per the above post. I also recently bought a set of sony WF-1000MX3 and i reckon the SQ is miles ahead the QC20 but QC20 NC is alot better

  If its for gaming is NC really required?

    I know it's really subjective, but if the WF-1000XM3s NC was set at 1.0, what would you put the QC20s relatively as (e.g. 1.5X, 2.0)?

      I admit I need to play around with the settings on the Sony a bit more but according to the app they are on the highest nc setting

        bonkers22 on 02/10/2019 - 16:21

        So how much better would you say the NC is on the QC 20 (e.g. ~1.5x the Sony, 2x etc)?

          @bonkers22: I'd say Sony nc is only half as good. Also I have Sony wh-1000mx2 and 3 and they are miles better at nc than the wf models

  Anyone have any experience with the ex-demo QC20's that sell on ebay for ~$180?
  When you go to the seller they have sold hundreds and the reviews seem positive…
