Easter Weekend Sale on NOW
** Includes: In stock items only. Excludes: Facal Speaker Clearance, Facal Clear Professional, Schiit Audio, Sennheiser Massdrop Models, Sony TVs, pre-orders, lay by, special orders, back orders, rain checks, gift vouchers
They upped the prices on stock they had after the Aud dipped … Pretty bloody dodgy considering it was already shipped in - the 10% off doesn't cover the difference.
AUD just dropped yesterday?
Majority of their stocks came in this month or last?
No i highly doubt that, it would have come in when the AUD was stable ~0.66 - 0.7
@paraneoplastic: How would you know when they bought their stocks?
Regardless, they are running a business and if you're not happy with the prices, you can choose to go somewhere else if you can find better prices.
@zeomega: Because it was in stock prior to the aud going down? No shit Sherlock hence why I was letting people know to go else where instead of these price jackers with a fallacious ‘10% off’
Any bargains
Not really. They’ve increased prices on some products before offering 10% off. Not long time ago ACCC fined some Harvey Norman stores for the same misleading campaigns.
Depends what you're after. I was looking for a Grado blue early last year. These guys were the cheapest even compared to ebay. Same price as now, so 10% on top makes it a great deal.
Are you addicted to audio??
Noop. Just a buyer haha. I felt "not really" any bargains was a bit over exaggerated. If you are in the market for something, these guys are easily worth a look.
I mean some things are more expensive. AQ tower cable is $50 here, $40 from random ebay seller, so even with 10% off, you're paying more here.
They also
1) increased prices of recent Fiio X5 from $219 to $388 and
2) 10% doesn’t apply sitewide: T&C “exclusions apply” on Focal and others that already “on special”
Very dodgy
That's not entirely correct. The titanium version was $219, which is now sold out. The red version is being quoted as $388 now.
Not correct: Checked red version two days ago and it was $219 then increased to $388; all other colours were sold by then.
Red has never changed I am afraid.
-10% still costs more than their regular sale a week ago - not really a bargain
The price of Kef LS50 Wireless have gone up by 11% since yesterday. That's dissapointing
Not long time ago ACCC fined some Harvey Norman stores for the same misleading campaigns.
Feels like they'd have been better off by just saying "excludes items already on sale", which is kinda fair enough.
thats all the price jack proof I need … shame
Sad that such a good retailer is going rogue.
Damn, disappointed to hear about the price jacking from these guys. Always thought they had a pretty good rep around here with deals.
glad to see them caught out, ill be sure to avoid them from now on.
A bit disappointing to see price increases on some products. Items I have purchased recently seem unaffected :
AQ tower, same price
Schiit mani, same price
Grado blue, same price
Not audiophile type stuff but a couple of Sony Google assistant speakers seem pretty cheap

Was thinking about pulling the trigger on the Sony NW A100. With this, price goes to ~$539, which is the cheapest I've seen it.
Not worth it. The A100 is literally an NW-A45 and NW-A55 while the ZX507 is an NW-ZX300 with Android and USB-C. Problem is battery life is pretty awful on the new Sony DAPs while the prices are ridiculously higher. You're better off buying the Hiby R3 Pro ($300 AUD) or Hiby R5 ($490 AUD) if you wanted Android at this point which actually has more features (power, 4.4mm jack even on the R3 Pro) and better battery life (go figure, it was a selling point for the Sony WM1A and ZX300)
Such a shame! These guys used to have amazing deals… I bought my pair of WH1000-XM3's from them nearly 2 years at $349 which was pretty much the lowest price out there.
I have bought a headphone 3 days ago, do I get some store credit?
I don’t see why you should unless they have a policy stating as such (very few retailers do). I didn’t neg you btw, but you shouldn’t expect stuff like this.
Just asking, I don't mind being nag. It does nothing to me 🙃.
Can anyone give advice on where the best place to buy Sonos? I can see some of their prices are comparable to JBs and Amazon but is there somewhere else I should look out for?
Or is it a case of holding out until the EOFY sales?
Anyone have any experience with the RUARK AUDIO MR1 MK2 active speakers? Been eyeing these off for a while and they are a bit cheaper with this sale. Or anyone have any picks for good active speakers around the $700 to $1000 range.
These are very good award winning speakers and got 5 starts from WhatHiFi https://www.whathifi.com/au/ruark-audio/mr1-mk2/review
I did see that review but wanted to see if someone actually had them here. :). I can probably get more bang for the buck with something else, too many choices!
For those that missed out on the Focal Elear @ $499 this code works on Elear with the carry case ($599 before discount - https://addictedtoaudio.com.au/products/focal-elear-open-bac…) bringing it down to $539.10
Not as great as $499 but still not bad for an additional $40.10 to get the carry case.

Just bought a Sonos Play 5 here, $608.
I know the price isn't as good as some of the bargains offered by various retailers last year before the AUD dropped, but it's significantly cheaper than everywhere else right now (~$675). +1 from me, I'm a happy customer.
Excludes 58x and 6xx. Not really sitewide.
