        interesting, I've heard that these have better sound quality (especially bass) but the QC35 are more comfortable

          IMHO Sony have better sound and NC. The Bose have are more comfortable, probably because they're lighter..

            @jaymzrsa: Found the XM3 fine for a 10 hour flight. Great battery life too

          I've read these have better sound quality and noise cancellation (which are both pretty subjective anyway imo), but worse microphones.

          Honestly I've had 2 pairs of QC35 II's between 2 years now, and both of them are lemons - one had a crackle in one of the earcups after maybe 8 months, and was replaced. The plastic on my current pair creaks like mad and the audio drops in/out regularly frequently, but YMMV.

          Realistically, either way I don't think you can go wrong, unless you do get a lemon (or 2). No lemonade this time around unfortunately.

          • jaymzrsa on 28/11/2019 - 22:36
            +1

            @ibgunth27: I'm not sure about the Bose, but the mic on the Sony is rubbish. If I'm out and about (ie anywhere that isn't silent) no one can hear me or I really need to speak loudly. It's quite frustrating. Given the chance again, I'd still pick up the Sony again because my primary use is music and I love them. Very subjective I know.

            • ibgunth27 on 28/11/2019 - 22:44

              @jaymzrsa: Eh, I rarely use headphones microphones anyway - I generally use Galaxy Buds which also have awful microphones, so I'm pretty used to switching straight to handset when I get a call, even with my current Bose.

              I will be looking at these for sure, even to put aside until my Bose inevitably cork it.

          • Viper8 on 28/11/2019 - 23:13

            @ibgunth27: Family have 3 QC35's no issues. You must have terrible luck.

            • ibgunth27 on 28/11/2019 - 23:28

              @Viper8: Seems that way, my old man has a pair of QC25's that have lasted him years. Probably a case of third time's the charm, but at this point I think I'd rather try my luck elsewhere - can't hurt right?

              • Circly on 29/11/2019 - 01:22

                @ibgunth27: Had my QC35 for 2 or 3 yrs now and no issues. I use them once to twice a day when I walk my dog too.

        • Jay-rad on 28/11/2019 - 23:43

          Bought my XM3's on release day and haven't looked back, year+ later.

          The ANC on these is superb.
          Have worn 18+hours constant (flights between AU / US).
          I fly 3+ times a week and these are outstanding.

          If you want THE BEST ANC in the market, get these. If you want dual-bluetooth-connections (the only major flaw) + SLIGHTLY better call quality (which is, still crap), get the Boss QC35.

          Until an ANC headphones manufacturer allows Stereo Mic input & Audio Output simultaneously, bluetooth headset mics will remain shit, but story for another day.

      • yanman on 28/11/2019 - 22:30

        The mic in the 550's is excellent, especially in USB headset mode.

      • kowcop on 29/11/2019 - 06:10
        +1

        had both.. Sony had slightly better NC but I personally found the Bose better in every other way. Plus the Sony wont connect to multiple devices at once like the Bose do. If you intend to use them on multiple devices, ie. an ipad and a phone, the Bose wins

  • octeau on 28/11/2019 - 22:14

    Bingo. This is what I'm waiting for deal wise for Black Friday.

    Thanks OP!

        No, I called OW this morning, they matched and beat it. $275.50
        Required a credit card (I wanted to pay at store) so had to cancel the order.

        Suffice to say, OW matched and beat, and had I of had a CC, I would have bought it.

    Just below the TRS claim amount. Might just buy the QC35 instead

    • Thypeople on 28/11/2019 - 22:26

      Going to try JB hi-fi tomorrow for their best price on the qc35. Hopefully I can get a good price. Otherwise I might hang onto my 300$ gc that I got at 10% off from youi.

      • capslock janitor on 28/11/2019 - 23:53

        how much you get back from trs on 300$?

          TRS gives you GST back on the item itself (i.e. not including shipping etc.)

    • Pecan on 28/11/2019 - 22:32

      Just buy something else from Amazon to make up the difference. Doesn't even need to be in the same transaction.

      • virhlpool on 28/11/2019 - 22:59

        But that 'another' thing should qualify for TRS though.. do all items qualify for it?

          that dude obviously stoned and speaking out his arse

        • Pecan on 29/11/2019 - 06:16

          Yes, as long as you can present both receipts and both items at the trs desk and the receipts combined total over $300.

          Eg. I bought the same headphones from Costco which were around $280, so I also grabbed $20 worth of chocolates from Costco too, to make up the shortfall.

  • richy_o on 28/11/2019 - 22:41

    I have the Sony's my Mrs has the bose. Don't get the Sony's if you're planning on using them for calls as they are terrible for that. Also, the bose form factor is a little smaller if you have a smaller head. Apart from that they are awesome.
    Another thing to note is that you can claim these off tax if you use them for teleconferencing if you're able to in your line of work. If they are under 300 you can claim the full amount, if over you can only claim depreciation.

  • Bass917 on 28/11/2019 - 22:45

    • MagicMushroom on 29/11/2019 - 00:02

      Thanks fixed. Mixed up AEST and AEDT.

  • DeeTrance on 28/11/2019 - 23:59

    I have the Sony WH-1000XM2 model, chose it after spending hours in many shops listening to it and the Bose QC 35-II back to back. It has amazing NC and is more advanced. I am waiting for the Sony WH-1000XM4 to upgrade. If I didn't have one already, I'd grab this deal in a heartbeat.

    Please don't compare this to a Bose. I have an reasonably decent Bose home audio system and it's filled with buyer remorse - the sound quality is so so. My $50k car comes standard with Bose speakers - they are rubbish.

    • ibgunth27 on 29/11/2019 - 00:01

      It's only compared to Bose (specifically the QC range) due to the fact that there are no other comparable wireless noise cancelling headphones at this price point. It's not necessarily because they sound the same.

      • Saura on 29/11/2019 - 01:39

        At stock they will be very different. The Sony's in my case need more treble which I adjusted with the EQ app, default is too bassy and muddy, were as I've heard the Bose is not bassy out of the box

    • Saura on 29/11/2019 - 01:38

      That's what people said this year, and the upgrade never came xD.

  • Saura on 29/11/2019 - 01:44

    This sold out within 20mins during prime day few months ago and I actually got one, had being eye balling them for a year. Fallen in love since, this is the same price too. Can't go back to wires on my PC. Great for movies phone call quality is fine.

    If this one is prepared for by already 300 upvotes I'm going to be watching ready for it to sell out much quicker, I'll give it 3-8mins?

  • polstralian on 29/11/2019 - 01:45

    How do they compare to Bose 700? Anybody used both? Cheers.

    • User102430 on 29/11/2019 - 10:46

      Yes, I owned/own all of them - Bose QC35, Bose700 and XM3.

      Still have both Bose (wife using QC35), sold XM3 due to poor microphone quality - I use my headset a lot at work for phone calls, and the mic was bad, if not terrible - reasonably OK indoors, however try to make a phone call outside when there's bit of wind, and XM3 are simply not usable - like, literally, people can't hear you as they pick up even light wind noise easily, unlike Bose that cope quite well (700 in particular - excellent). If you don't use mic/make phone calls, any should be OK.

      Sound wise, I'm a bit demanding customer and I do prefer more flat response curve of Bose (XM3 have slight bass boost).
      Controls - XM3 have better controls than QC35, despite I use 700 now, can't still get used to it.

      ANC - Bose 700 is the definitely the best, although differences between XM3 and QC35 and barely noticeable.
