    Bought one on this deal,also mark“Box damaged”but receive item in good condition,didn’t got any damaged on the box,doubt.

    • +2

      Yeah, I think it's more than likely brand new stock. People on previous Sony box damaged deals have said the same thing, & it seems unlikely that Sony could manage to damage hundreds of boxes of headphones.

      • +3

        So maybe“Box damaged” is a way to let them clean up the inventory.

      • +12

        Maybe they mean the big box holding all these boxes got damaged

      • all their tv are box damaged as well. they're just saying this to avoid pissing off their retailers.

    • Is your box shrinking wrapped by plastic films?

      • Yes,it’s wrapped in plastic films and with marking daeler code,GM05 or GN02 something like this.

        I have double check it’s brand new and sealed.

    • +1

      Yeah I had the same thing, box arrived in perfect condition, no issues with it at all

    • this one or BOSE QC35, which one has better ANC? THX

      my qc25 is broken, need to get one before holiday trip.

      • +1

        This beats the Bose on many fronts except two notable areas. Some people say the NC is better on the Bose and that it can connect to 2 devices at once. Some also claim it is more comfortable.

        That said the two are the current top and depends on preference. I for one would have gone the Bose if it had USB C. Carrying an extra cable for me is a deal breaker as all my devices use USB C.

        • Cheers

          looks like BOSE is still the king of ANC, but still won't be able to cancel loud talking and baby crying… :(

          • @alexGoodwin: Yeah its a bit mixed. Some say the Sony is better and some say Bose is better. Sony does cancel more different types of noises though.

        • I got the Bose qc35 during black friday sales.
          Definitely not happy with the noise cancelling at all. Thinking about taking them to the Bose shop.
          Or back to JB hi-fi.

          They are comfortable and the sound for music and audiobooks is very well balanced and the voices are clear. But the ACN is pretty poor. I can hear everything in the office. People talking keyboard sounds. Definitely not what I expected

          • @Thypeople: I have heard that Bose cancels aircon, engine noise etc well while Sony is better in cancelling chatter, footsteps etc.

            • @parallelparadox: I think it's all about the firmware update they did. Mine came with current firmware.

              I compared my colleagues qc35 from 18 months ago. Without any updates. ANC was definitely better on their ones

              • +1

                @Thypeople: Ahh fair enough. I guess it just means you need to revert back to old firmware. Google and find that old FW and update.

          • @Thypeople: I had issues with ANC after the firmware upgrades - this is the best solution to fix it: https://www.reddit.com/r/bose/comments/cw47fx/githubcombosef…

            V3.1.8 is the version you want.

    Good price, great product.
    But be aware Sony just put in their filings for the WH-1000XM4, so expect that announcement within a couple of months and for this model to drop further.

    • Yeah there is potential drop. The only thing I wanted in these would have been BT 5 which I guess will come in the mark 4.

    • You're right, was submitted 2 days ago.
      I just got the WH-1000XM3 from Black Friday Amazon sale :(
      When XM4 is out, might sell my XM3

  • Dammit just picked up the white one off amazon this morning for 316

    • Should still be able to cancel

    • +2

      I'd pay $7 for white.

      • U make a good point. Don't forget about the nice box too

    • CR or SB?

      • Edit: oh neither, woulda been less, ah well. you've revealed me for an ozb casual.

  • Sony remove this item every time they have the 20% off, list it back as soon as the sale is over.

  • +2

    Box damage is code for no damage. It's to stop Gerry Harvey having another whinge that the wholesaler is selling stuff cheaper than he can make a profit on.

    • You're right…. there are others you can buy…. but are they better for noise cancelling as well?

      • -5

        There are way better noise cancelling headphone brands/models in this price range.

        • -1

          Cool story

        • +2

          Such as?

          • @shaolinbear: Audio-Technica ATH-ANC700BT even the cheaper 500BT better than sony. Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic are good brands. Sony all their stuffs is overpriced and features are similar or downright inferior to their competitors

  • I received my pair from the previous sale and there was a small 1cm tear/cut on the top corner of the box.

  • +1

    and probably if youy pay with paypal using AMEX deal you get another $40 off total price will be $269.62

    • I maxxed out that offer pretty quickly. $200 spend doesn't last long.

  • Anyone know if I can just turn the ANC on only and use it for the flight? I don’t want to listen to anything, just want to block all the noise so I can sleep. Thanks

    • You can just switch on ANC but it definitely cancels out a lot more noise if there's something playing

      • Does that mean I have to play some sort of silent audio source so the ANC will work better, as long as the headphones is in play mode with ANC on, rather than just ANC on only?

        • No, what ANC does is use external microphones to take in ambient sounds and cancel those ambient noises and you can enjoy more of what you are listening.

        • No, it just means that you notice outside noises less when you have music or white noise playing. Not actually better noise cancelling, just seems like it.

    • ANC On + offline spotify playlist of the sound of waves + 2 whiskey & coke = good sleep on flights

  • +8

    Sony needs to fire that guy that keeps fracking up those boxes.

  • Hey all, just a heads up - I priced matched the Amazon deal from a couple of days back at JB HI-FI for $316, black.

    Merry Christmas

    Jb hi fie price matching wasabi if your r lucky

    • I love buying wasabi from JB Hi-Fi

    • is that real?

      • Yes I got 2 pairs as jb price matched instore

        • Which store?

    • Jbhifi Mt Gravatt, Brisbane refused to price match with wasabi though, claiming the product from wazaby is grey import. probs could try other stores.

  • +1

    I cannot believe everybody doesn't already own these headphones…

    • just ordered 1…LOL

      • just got mine. It's like brand-new to me and there's still perfect sealed plastic wrap on the box

    • +1

      Because some prefer the bose because being able to pair two devices at the same time is important to them. Not to mention the mic is better on the bose.

  • too late now… they won't get here by christmas eve
