get a revolut card then you can get better currency conversions then amazon :wink:

Nice find

Amazing set of headphones. Well with the money. Heat

Sold mine after I got glasses :disappointed: now using some akg on ears n60nc

Got mine last week from Amazon.co.uk for £280 after they upped the price to £330 at start of February from £290 - thought I wouldn't get much cheaper than that for most of this year... :disappointed:

Comes to £251 for me?

cold. not Senheisser Momentum.

For the glasses wearer I can 100% recommend the Bose QC30.

These or the Sony MDR-1000X..

Thanks i'll give them some thought, i have psoriasis in my ears so iem can make for some very itchy ears which is why i moved away from them, but on ears feel; and i think look daft so i hardly put the n60nc on whereas the qc35 were used all of the time

Have a pair of these and wear glasses, no issue. Great deal

From comparison, the Bose are more comfortable, the Sony feel bigger and heavier and move around a bit if you twist your head quickly.

The Sony has better external noise filtering and sound better at low volumes. The Bose sound better at higher volumes but you only need them that loud as the external noise is louder than the Sony.

A colleague here bought both and returned the Sony as he preferred them at lower volumes and they have better control functions - volume, track skip etc. He says all the different modes on the Sony are a waste of time, he only uses the one that is the same as the Bose, but he just preferred the sound for listening to podcasts etc at a normal volume.

I've used over 70 headphone/earphones in my lifetime and I can honestly say these are hands down the best headphone I've ever had.
This is coming from someone who hates over ear headphones.

I bought these before xmas - am also a glasses wearer and I wore them 5-6 hours on a flight without any discomfort - by far the most comfortable pair of over ear headphones I've had.

At this price - it's a steal!

I am a Bose fan and had a set of these. I have several sets of earlier QC's. There appears to be a design or manufacturing fault with the power switch. Mine were returned when they broke on first use. Basically the power switch slips under to casing locked either in the on or off postion. If you read on line reviews I'm far from the only one. I plan to re-buy them when I'm confident they've cured the problem

been using the Bluetooth sound links for a while and have wanted a set of QCs, couldn't say no at this price

Cracking price, but a 1 to month shipping time is a shame.

I was passing through Heathrow T2 in November, and the Dixons Travel branch there had the Sony's up at £260! I wasn't particularly in the market for some but had the QC35's on my want list. I tested both these and the Sony's. I walked away with the MDX-1000's..

How much better are these than the soundlinks? Are there any notable differences? I have the soundlinks and think they're really good, but never tested the qc35s.

still an insane price

Bargain! What's delivery time frame ?

What are these like for hard dance music?

For those that want to buy from a store here or don't want to use Amazon because they are worried about them coming from Spain (although there should be no reason to fear) then Superfi have the silver colour of these on at £269.

Black model is £5 more expensive at £274.

These + Fiio A3 amp = eargasm

bought.

thanks.

going to sell my soundlink wireless and hd598se on ebay.

Hi, does anybody know how to have it shipped free ( I have Amazon Prime). It adds EUR 5.91 shipping charge

Thanks for clarifying :smiley:

Does anyone use this at the gym? How is it?

These are not designed for gym use.

Bose SoundSport Wireless are by far best option for the gym if you want to spend £100+ on them.

Well it's not, the best rate is with revolut, they offer you the interbank rate i.e. the pure exchange rate, Halifax do not offer you this

Halifax offer you the MasterCard rate, which is the inter-bank rate, however the rate is not real time, it is end of day.

Wrong, Mastercard nor visa nor Amex offer the true interbank rate, they even state this on their respective websites

I ordered last night and received it today.
Apparently they sent from UK warehouse.
I used revolut, with shipping it was 288.09 euro -> 243 gbp
heat

What was the original shipment date from Spain?

Mine is still not dispatched :-O i ordered before posting the deal here :laughing:

My order states -- Delivery 2 Mar - 6 Mar

U chose the slowest shipping which cost about 5 euro
I chose the second fastest shipping which cost about 8 euro
While there is another fastest shipping which costs about 13 euro
Amazon dunfermline fulfillment centre is about 2 hours from my school so I think it is why I receive it so fast.

Very strange .. as I did not even get option to change shipping :confused:

You can't on the black colour because they're not in stock. If I select the silver colour, which is in stock, and then go to checkout I get three shipping options, the most expensive of which ships for delivery tomorrow.

oh he is right, I ordered the silver one

I paid with my santander zero credit card using Euro.

How to find out how much £ I will end up paying?

Have a think about it. You'll work it out.

You do realise what interbank rate is made up of? I'm happy that you prefer that card. Good for you .

well it seems you evidently do not understand what the interbank rate, you are trying to defend the indefensible, very simple:

Revolut = use the pure interbank rate, a continually shifting rate

Halifax = uses the exchange rate set by mastercard, which is the interbank rate WITH a fixed spread on top to protect against fluctuations, it is usually around 1-2% off the interbank rate

shipping date was march but they dispatched it today for delivery on Monday

I really like them, but somehow I expected the noise cancelling to be better (although those were my first NC headphones, so I had no comparison)

Off-topic from headphones, but just out of interest, I checked - Revolut euro costs 84.35p at moment, while mastercard interbank is 84.75p. That Revolut app is really user-friendly if you are having to watch your finances closely and juggling funds around.

Amazon does not charge until dispatch.

Even when they charged, it takes few days to appear on the credit card online statement.

Do not assume people do not know the basis and state the obvious which does not help.

Suppose my question should be at what interest rate does Santander Zero card use? How much higher than the inter-bank rate?

Got this on a similar deal before Christmas - even better value now with the price increase. Recommend Revolut - been using it for the last year or so.

If Amazon doesn't charge till dispatch then how the hell is anyone supposed to answer your question?

In the first few posts, people were talking about how much cost them in £. Which is why I am asking them?

You do not the situations, do not know the answer, just assume people do not know the basis, and reply something which does not add anything, nor being constructive.

Google to find how san Z does conversion. Wait for Amazon to inform you payment taken and item despatched, then google to find relevant exchange rate then and do calculation. Others know exact price in £ because they ordered item that was in stock for immediate payment and despatch.

ordered Saturday, came Sunday from Fife 288.09 euros or £244. used Halifax card no exchange fees.

Anyone received the black ones yet ? I ordered on 22nd with delivery estimate of 2-6 March

my black ones arrived Saturday

So did mine...Ordered late on Thursday evening

I ordered Thursday too. It has not dispatch yet.

I finally got the dispatch email. Arriving on Friday

Bought for 271.85 euros using revolut. Converted to £232.95 which is pretty much £100 cheaper than Amazon UK (£329.95)! Hothothot

Late to the party...seems like the black ones are out of stock

Fantastic deal; however, DO NOT use Amazon's integrated Currency Converter- the interest rate is very poor.

To calculate new total cost (Natwest)

Check interest rate- Foreign Transactions and Debit Card Charges

Calculate new price- VISA Currency Converter

They are now back in stock!

Good headphones but you can't use wireless without noise cancelling. They also sound average without noise cancelling. Battery life is good. Horrible thumping problems when walking (the noise cancelling trying to cancel the sound of walking). Great for long train journeys and flights. Not as good as competition for pretty much anything else. Get the older gen 25s.

Now back in stock but 297 euros for both colours

Pretty sure my brother had that issue develop too , phone up for warranty replacement.

still undecided if i go for the Sony 1000s but concerned the noise cancelling itself won't cut the grade as all reviews suggest Bose are better and more comfortable. decisions decisions

I've owned these and the MDR1000x , I kept the Sonys, sounded better to my ears.

I'm after a pair of these. Currently shows as €297. What's the deal with the warranty? Are we still covered?

Am I doing something wrong, Amazon's listing €319 which through revolut is £272.

yes the price has now gone up and the exchange rate has deteriorated......
