Thanks for the heads up, purchased a pair today and with travel overseas next fortnight great timing.

Officeworks advertising Bose QC25's for $299, not much stock around. JB Hifi matched it though!

That looks good pricing.

I'm travelling this week and am keen to buy QC25. Any idea on latest pricing at OfficeWorks or elsewhere?

PS: there are several new Bose products including wireless being released shortly:

Might just wait...

Just make sure you spend an extra dollar on something to be able to claim the $300+ spend with TRS and get the GST back.

With cord cut QC 35 look looks ideal to use with my Surface Pro 4 bluetooth. Worth waiting for IMO.

Still expensive kit 499 aud is half a grand.?

Just picked up these ones a week ago: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/headphone...tooth-nfc-noise-cancelling-headphones/714132/

Got them from Costco for $159 which is quite a bargain (especially as I cannot justify the price for Bose). Will be giving them a whirl when we travel at the end of the week, and if they arent any good, at least Costco has an awesome returns policy.

At $159 that certainly is good buying!

Can you use the headphones you get the TRS refund at the airport?

Agree, they're like sun glasses, I break them or lose them..........

I haven't seen the article but I've listened to a few of those and Dr Dre is not a set I'd rate 4th best.

Interesting Bose Quiet is up there!

 

[dontwanttoregister]

Absolutely agree re: Beats. Returned first pair thinking they were faulty, returned second pair as they confirmed that the first was not faulty, just awful.

I don't trust any review that thinks Beats are an option.

Monster ear phones are not even mentioned !!

Can you use the headphones you get the TRS refund at the airport?

If you are asking if you can use the headphones before you get the refund, yes you can. No longer do items have to be sealed in a plastic bag at place of purchase.

Does the QC25 get uncomfortable? I have big ears so most headphones hurt after 30+ min

I have the QC25 and are very comfortable even after using for 10+ Hours straight.

I prefer the in-ear Boses (QC20?) for sleeping, find the over-ear ones a bit tricky for that.

For sound I like the new Audio-Technicas.
