I noticed these bone/air conduction headphones are very popular in the JB Commercial deal and found that they're even cheaper on AliExpress, especially if you stack it with 16.1% cashback at Shopback and join Team OzBargain for an extra 10% back as shopping credit. Making it way cheaper than both the JB deal and even the title of this deal.
Besides the colours Orange and Black, you can also get the Eliud Kipchoge Limited Edition in orange/white for US$125.05 (~A$193.31) that's not available at JB.

- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD

Unless you love the colour, if you can't be stuffed with cashback and assuming you have access to JB commercial, I think it is well worth paying an $8 premium to get it from an Australian supplier if you have any issues and need to claim a warranty or repair under Australian Consumer Law. JB is always a pleasure to deal with, but you will likely get no support from China.
If you prefer a ~$30-40 discount to get it from China, do so at your own risk. I am not sure about the reliability of these units, but I have only heard great things about them!
