shopbots list prices starting from $50 (most dont inc freight)
listed on ebay for $69 + $7.95P&H

Shipping to my postcode in NSW was $14 (making the total $49, so still cheaper than whats out there) but as mentioned, free pickup is available in Ultimo, NSW
there is a credit card surcharge of 2% (for mastercard and visa) AMEX not accepted
unfortunately, they dont accept paypal

sorry for the long post, but hopefully that covers most things and people find it useful!

  • Thanks, ordered one. The reviews seem ok.

  • if all you want it for is to listen to music, a clip on mp3 player would be smaller and probably have better sound quality.

    • i was more interested in this for the bluetooth handsfree functionality for your phone. to me its just a bonus that it can double as headphones as well (for multiple devices such as tablets etc)

      and as jdr states below, it can be used with your own headphones as well for listening to music, so long as it has a 3.5mm jack

      hopefully kills two birds with one stone - i wanted to buy headphones with a mic built in (such as the logitech 400vi's), which were on sale with logitechshop not long ago for $45. this will do the same thing (in terms of being a pair of headphones which allow me to listen to music and make/take calls as well), AND is bluetooth as well. so for $10 less, i get the functionality of the 400vi's and bluetooth to boot

      no idea about sound quality or quality overall, but for $35, its worth a shot, esp since i missed out getting the 400vi's for $45

  • haha poor mans triple fi 10 in terms of looks only (alien blue!)

  • If I understand the product correctly, you can plug other headsets into the 3.5mm socket. I mainly want it for using the phone at work. At the moment, I have the standard apple white headphones plugged into the iphone but if I get up to walk around, I have to carry the phone in one hand (or forget to and the phone ends up on the floor).

    For this use, I could even plug the apple headphones into this Genius BT so as to retain the awareness of surrounding sounds that non-canal headphones give.
