It's a great price for ANC headphones. I'm intrigued...
Amazon UK has 9 reviews of which 3 are "reviews of free products" which are not always super objective. By chance, did you find an independent, in-depth review of these?

EDIT: read the 1st 3 reviews popping up on google and they're all fairy positive. for €50 it's worth taking the plunge. Thanks OP

tedpan

True, not really, I had a look around, but can't see a whole lot of reviews on them.

They average on eBay at 130gbp and tend to use Amazon as a benchmark. So happy with the purchase. I'll let you know what they're like once they arrive

Yep, no worries.. I think it's actually a good deal from ibood and with the rare free delivery makes it awesome

Haven't bought something off iBOOD in 7 years..

.. but this is way too good a deal to pass up.

Thanks OP.

This looks to be too good to be true. The reviews I found are only positive (sponsored?) Either way, for €50 if the quality is ANC turns out to be sh1te at least you have bluetooth headset. Took a pair - let's post reviews once we get them!
Thanks!

I was always put off by IBOOD's €12.50 delivery on basically everything they sell. It's the 1st time I can remember them offering free delivery.

If they dont work out as hoped I'm pretty sure I could get my money back on Adverts or eBay.

Cheers... I was tinkering with the idea of noise cancelling earphones but was put off by the price tags onthe Boses and Sonys.

Took two of them at the price. Three times that at Amazon prices in Euro plus the extra VAT.

Don't think they're Bluetooth..

I keep getting an error. Won't let me order 😣

I've been thinking about getting NC headphones for a while, but don't know much about them.

So sorry for the amateur question - but these plug into your phone/laptop/whatever (including aeroplane seat ), is that correct? So not wireless.

Seems like a great deal if they're as good as you're all saying.....

Same problem with 2 different cards, so went to PayPal instead and worked fine then.

This suggests that the reviews are genuine:

"The included 3.5 mm cable also comes with a built-in mic and controls, so you can easily skip a song or hold a phone conversation"
does this mean I have the option to use them with skype also?

Yes, once the device your plugging in into supports a mic/headphone jack. Most phones and laptops will support it

Sorry to be a bit dim, but does this have to be charged?

It's up to you. Takes 2x AAA batteries (I doubt are included) for the active noise cancelling. You could use Regular or rechargeable batteries.

Oh ok, reading on a bit would've helped me to see that think I'm having a brain lapse these days! Thanks!

OK - one more (possibly) stupid question.....

Can you listen to nothing on these??? Will they just cancel noise without necessarily having other feed coming through them?

I've heard them recommended as being brilliant on flights - but if I want to sleep can I used them to just blank out the noise, or do I have to have other noise instead?

Hope that makes sense!

The things will be sold out before I'm finished dithering.....

What's the estimated​ delivery time on these?

i believe they do as you ask.

Tried to order them using PayPal and got an error, tried again and got an error again.

Then tried with Visa debit card and got an error again..

Anyone have this issue?

Edit:

Tried ordering on phone and laptop and same issue..

Decided to go for it!

My order went straight through on a visa debit card.

Doge

Anyone have an idea what impedance these headphones are?

Cant find any info online.

Glen_Quagmire

Nope not happening for me. Tried on phone and laptop using Chrome and Firefox. Don't know what the issue is..

rustynutz

Just pulled the trigger on these after following the bose ANC thread since Christmas but cant justify the 300 euro price tag, these are worth a punt at the price, thanks OP

absolutegroove

Decided to buy them - credit card wouldn't work so I paid by PayPal instead.

They are worth a shot at this price.

Thanks OP

Doge

Paypal workd for me also. Should be good for planes.

Muchos Gracias for sharing OP!

Nice review of them here:

Glen you need to just go to ibood.com first and register an account. Then log in and select the headphones. I was having the same problem as you.

Tried that, didnt work for me unfortunately. Super frustrating.

PropJoe10

Update - got it to work by updating my address in the account profile, including eircode, before adding the item to the basket. Then checked out with VISA and it worked fine.

Hope this helps someone!

Tried it. I even downloaded the app and tried it that way, same stupid error.

The impulse buy is starting to wear off..

Not sure what the panic is about on here tbh.

A 2 year old product with very few and mostly incentivised reviews on amazon all over a year old selling from a website that seems to be having massive issues for a 71% discount sounds dodgy as fcuk to me.

brokenarms

LOL.......... Poster must work for them!!! But go ahead...

tedpan

Lol :-D

Thanks OP.
iBOOD should offer free shipping more frequently/permanently imo.
