I already have a pair of these and am getting another for watching TV. They are one of the most comfortable headphones I've had to date and the sound quality is pretty good too.

    does this support multi device connection at the same time?

    • ob1wan on 22/09/2020 - 17:02

      Yes, however the connection to the second device needs to be initiated from the device itself. It won't automatically connect. Unsure if there is a workaround for this.

      Great headset for the money. Using one on a conference call while I type this.

      • Pokharabluez on 22/09/2020 - 20:19

        For me, it connects with one mac and phone at the same time, but tried to connect a phone and tablet, didn't work!

        • Shon on 22/09/2020 - 20:57

          Yeah I have similar experience. Definitely has Multi device support. But it's not seamless.

  • IJustKnowStuff on 22/09/2020 - 17:14

    Are these on or around ear?
    EDIT: Ignore me, I see in the description it says over ear, which seems to be around.

    • Mnke on 22/09/2020 - 17:16

      over ear

    • LowRange on 22/09/2020 - 18:02

      Around ear, but they are on the small side so unless you have really small ears they probably wont sit fully inside it. But dont get me wrong, they are extremely comfortable when using them for hours, great sound quality and i find they dont get hot.

      For the money you will be hard pressed to find a better set of earphones. I've owned mine since May, use them daily and they have been faultless and look like the day i bought them.

      • IJustKnowStuff on 22/09/2020 - 18:21

        Can you confirm they actually have APTX? Looking at using to watch TV and movies.

      • wombat1955 on 22/09/2020 - 18:35

        I have what I consider to be average sized ears and they just fit inside, but it is a comfortable fit and does not in any way feel cramped or hot.

  • andycandy on 22/09/2020 - 17:30

    Been thinking about getting one of these for months. Good price so pulled the trigger. Thanks OP.

  • Wokko on 22/09/2020 - 17:31

    How do these compare to the Kogan BT noise cancelling headphones? Been pretty happy with them but no idea if they're actually good or I'm just easily pleased.

  • telenolyge on 22/09/2020 - 17:51

    No hard case, what a pity!

    • wombat1955 on 22/09/2020 - 18:38

      I actually find them easier to pack in a bag or backpack with the soft case, but it doesn't offer the same protection of a hard case.

      • entropysbane on 22/09/2020 - 20:10

        Agree that they take up a lot less space but downside less protection.
        What these are missing compared with the bh-045, apart from a hard case, is hybrid noise cancelling, which performs a bit better, but otherwise I find these lighter and more comfortable, and the Bt has less lag.

      • Coastie on 26/09/2020 - 07:34

        The other thing about the soft case is that it makes an incredibly good screen cleaner for the laptop.

  • matey on 22/09/2020 - 19:27

    Thanks for the deal - been looking for a set for a while so pulled the trigger based on the excellent coupon and great Amazon reviews.

    Just an FYI, Sunvalley told me yesterday that they have a new version of the BH085 coming out in October.
    I really wanted a pair of BH055's but they only sell them to the US, and they said the closest equivalent will be the new BH 085's

    • entropysbane on 22/09/2020 - 20:11

      Will it have hybrid ANC?

      • tunzafun001 on 22/09/2020 - 22:56

        Just got a reply. NC, but not hybrid :(
        Does have Aptx LL though at least.

        Just don't understand why only the US can buy the BH055's that has both!

        Might have to freight forward a pair.

        • IJustKnowStuff on 22/09/2020 - 23:24

          Oh nice. Yeah I really want aptx LL. So might wait for them to be available.

  • hippo2s on 22/09/2020 - 19:46

    Wish they made these with built in microsd for offline listening…

  • wetwork on 22/09/2020 - 21:59

    I have 5 pairs of Taotronics Headphones now and these are my favourites. Also have JVC BT on ears and HP Omens for gaming (kids not mine!) and prefer these. Phew - 7 pairs of headphones (don't mention the other cheap ones).
    Light weight and pretty good sound for TV and youtube music streaming etc. BH046's probably better ANC but these are lighter, more flexible and keep cooler.
    BTW - after sales support is really good.
    As I have mentioned before, don't need to impress anyone on the Qantas flight with a flash brand since we're not flying anymore. Nor do I get the Platinum flyer w*nk headphones loaned (since I'm not flying any more).

    • tunzafun001 on 22/09/2020 - 22:57

      Don't suppose you have a pair of BH055's ? Want to know if it's worth getting a pair freight forwarded from the US, or just get the new 85s.

      • wetwork on 23/09/2020 - 08:23

        Afraid not. Too expensive for me so far😉

        • tunzafun001 on 23/09/2020 - 10:27
          +1

          They are $79 US with shipping on their website using promo discount spinner thing (but again, US only). Don't get it.

          • wetwork on 23/09/2020 - 12:48

            @tunzafun001: Yep I get same cant buy in Australia even though they send me targeted emails?

  • humbala on 22/09/2020 - 23:56

    How's is this compare BH090?

    is this the best cheapish ANC headphone in the market?

    • ob1wan on 23/09/2020 - 09:00
      +2

      BH090 is around twice the weight ~500g. So, if you do not mind to have a brick over your head…
      It also offers better NR but less battery life.

  • Flowerbomb on 23/09/2020 - 00:50

    How many years can the battery last?

    I was thinking of getting the Bose 35 but reading reviews on the battery dying after 4 years made me take a step back. If these Taos can last 5 years with frequent use (3 times a week), then it would be amazing at this price point.

    • Coastie on 26/09/2020 - 07:38

      Mine just failed this week after 6 months of use. They still worked plugged in with cord, but wireless wouldn't turn on after charging for a few hours. They have, up till now, been excellent. I spoke to Amazon and they are giving me a refund & I think i'll buy these again because they are so good.

      • kacak on 02/10/2020 - 10:23

        Exact same issue just started occurring with mine….charging & ANC lights come on as expected but the thing just wouldn't turn ON anymore :(

        • Coastie on 02/10/2020 - 11:30

          Did you buy it from Amazon? I wonder if it is a particular fault of this product because the Amazon rep checked with the company & they refunded straight away. Maybe it's something they have happen regularly?

          • kacak on 02/10/2020 - 11:38

            @Coastie: I spoke to Amazon and they offered a refund, but have to send back the faulty item - did you have to do that too?

            Before I go down the Amazon refund route, I've reached out to the seller (Sunvalley) to see whether I can get a replacement sent out, since I was quite happy with it initially.

            • Coastie on 02/10/2020 - 12:10
              +1

              @kacak: Yeah, it is so easy to get a refund. Print out the label they send & put the packaged headphones in the mailbox. As soon as Aus post pick it up, they scan the label and you get a refund. I highly recommend

  • asa79 on 23/09/2020 - 11:45

    whats the difference between these and the hybrid noise cancelling ones for $79

    • entropysbane on 24/09/2020 - 09:17

      ANC not quite as good, but lighter and Bt5.

  • Ehty on 30/09/2020 - 20:58

    Just a question for those who own BH085, I got mine few months back, all of sudden it doesnt switch on.
    charging light works fine, ANC lights up and it works with wired too,

    • wombat1955 on 30/09/2020 - 21:52

      Had no issues with two pairs that my wife and I use. Rather than ask here, I'd suggest getting in touch with the seller. They are still under warranty and should be replaced if faulty.

      • Ehty on 02/10/2020 - 11:28

        no response from seller, thats why was looking for any quick fix.

    • kacak on 02/10/2020 - 10:02

      Exactly same with mine in the past week - have you found a solution yet?

      • Coastie on 02/10/2020 - 11:34

        Amazon refunded me immediately (see my above comments). Seems like this is a fairly common problem for OzBargainers :(

        • Ehty on 02/10/2020 - 12:41

          yup.. seems refund is the only solution

    • Coastie on 02/10/2020 - 11:33
      +1

      See my comments above, I had exact same problem. I think it must be common fault. Thanks for letting me know it happened to you too, I might get a different model next time.

      • kacak on 02/10/2020 - 12:48

        Seller (SunValley) just responded with the below steps to try, which I will now do:

        Thank you for reaching out to us. In this case, we suggest you to turn on the ANC function of the headphones to drain off the battery, recharge the headphones, unplug the headphone and power it on again to see whether that works.

        • Ehty on 02/10/2020 - 12:58

          how much time will it take to drain the battery? few days maybe!

          • kacak on 02/10/2020 - 13:13

            @Ehty: I was just thinking the same thing - I'll give it 24-48 hours before I run out of patience!

        • Ehty on 05/10/2020 - 20:48

          Did this work?

          • kacak on 05/10/2020 - 20:51

            @Ehty: Funny you ask - my battery just drained so now charging it up before trying to power it up!

            • Ehty on 05/10/2020 - 22:57

              @kacak: Didn’t work for me…
              Looking for alternatives now!

              • kacak on 05/10/2020 - 22:59

                @Ehty: Same, failed for me too so I’ll be seeking a replacement from the supplier

                • Ehty on 05/10/2020 - 23:55

                  @kacak: there is refund.. no replacement
