A$699 includes GST in Australia, but the A$100 step over the A$599 Ace buys no new TV Audio Swap; it only makes sense when your Sonos system has a product on the headphone-linking list.
Shokz Australia asks A$319 and Shokz AU on Amazon A$318, with a 24-month replacement-only warranty and 30 days to change your mind. The cheaper Pro sold under it in America is not sold here.
A$448 from Amazon Australia, a touch under the A$449.95 Bose asks: six hours per charge, four with Immersive Audio, and three more charges in a case that tops up wirelessly.
Bose's second generation adds lossless USB-C audio, Cinema Mode and aptX Adaptive for Snapdragon Sound phones; Bose Australia lists Black at A$699.95, and no page puts a decibel figure on the cancelling.
Sony's flagship over-ear adds a 12-microphone adaptive canceller and LE Audio; against the soundcore Space One at an RRP of $169.99, the extra $530 buys cancelling, not battery life.
Apple asks A$429 in Australia for the AirPods Pro 3: 8 hours of noise-cancelled listening, a hearing test and hearing-aid mode Apple lists for Australia, and workout heart rate. No USB-C cable comes in the box.
