    Thanks for the post.

    Ok deal at best. Have a look at the price history for this and the 458BT. Worth considering Sony/Bose/Momentums if your budget can stretch another $50-$100 when there is a deal.

    Also the earcups are quite small - worth trying in store before purchase.

  • Has anybody tried them for gaming (multiplayer)?
    Are their any latency issues? Also, in case anyone has tried these and Razer black shark v2 pro, are these better?

      Unless you're going to upgrade your gear for low latency LC3/LC3Plus based bluetooth, just go wired for gaming.

      You'll get a big jump in audio quality too, especially if you're happy with IEMs.

      I own both these and Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. Got the Razers for $90 used a few weeks back. I would recommend the BlackShark V2 Pro for comfort, sound quality and ease of use. The 450BT get a little tight after a few hours and lack the base of the Blackshark. I also like the blackshark because its easy to move from PC to PS4 (as it is dongle). The 450BT come in handy when I'm travelling as they are much more compact and have the ability to use Bluetooth, which the Razers use 2.4ghz. The down side to the razers is no Bluetooth and I'm always worried the dongle will break in my phone.

      Overall: Blackshark is my recommendation for gaming.

    Oh damn, I just bought the 1more for $115. Is this better??

    • Depends, do you need aptx codec? I bought the Sennheisers for this reason (458s) and other than fairly decent sound and very avg NC I have to say are they are the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever bought, small earcups, tight band that puts uneven pressure on your ears and down on the top of your head, maybe ok if you have a grapefruit sized head. Crappy quality tiny little buttons. General build quality is unimmpressive all round. App is a waste of space, multipoint is ok but better on my $69 Edifers, frequent momentary connection dropouts, No battery low warning. Paid $149 and will tolerate them at this price, but I basically hate them.

    • After watching several YouTube videos, I recently bought 1more Sonoflow and I'm happy with the purchase. ;)

    • Have you got them yet? Thoughts?

      • +1

        No, I bought them yesterday. It will be arriving on 31st January

      • My previous headphone was the Taotronics BH085 which cost me around $60 in 2020 and I find out much better than the 1more

        The ANC feature is much better on the Taotronics than the 1more

        Also the lack of feature which pisses me off the most is 1more can only use ANC during BT mode and not wired mode. BH085 can use ANC on both wired mode and BT mode.

        I can't believe I paid $115 for these and its a stepbackwards from my previous headphones.

        no thanks, I can't go from $115 to $199

    Bought it and returned it. As someone said in the comment above, the earcups are very small, they are quite uncomfortable to wear. The noise cancelling is non existent, my earbuds can do better noise cancelling than these. Won't recommend at all.

  • Basically an update version of this
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/415724

    At that price I didn't think these are amazing either and have had them since. As everyone else has mentioned middling NC at best and comfort issues I'd be looking at either paying a bit more for XM3s or get the q30s or something similar when they go on sale.

    • I've fitted replacement earpads with a wider opening, as the stock earpads feel more like on-ear headphones. I agree the noise cancelling is middling at best - there is no indicator for when the NC is on (just a tone as it toggles on and off), and it's really hard to tell when it is actually on.

      • I did get some replacement ear pads from Aliexpress however they matched up in terms of measurements to the existing ones so I never replaced them initially. I eventually did (I must have bigger ears) but I've noticed no difference
