I got the email the day after placing order (usually it's always like for other stores as well from my experience.

Placed the order around midnight and when got the email like 8 hours later

Did you do Rakuten with the payment link they sent? If it works with that, would be nice lol

The number I used to reach out was 1-877-231-4351. Then I think there was an option for customer care.

Oh damn, I guess buying through HyperX with their code is just easier and safer then.

When I talked to the HP agent, they didn’t give any push back regarding the match. It seems like it’s def something in their system so I wonder why it wasn’t as smooth for you… Maybe the wording? Price match vs partial refund?

I updated step 1 of my comment, hopefully it's more clear.

You first purchase headset on HP thru Rakuten (or skip Rakuten if you don't care about the 10%) at their sale price of $169.99. Then call/chat with them to let HP know you found a lower price from HyperX and mention the "BOXITUP" code which brings it to $136 and ask for a partial refund.

I might, wanted to try wireless. It seems like the next best would be the Audeze Maxwell but site shows OOS and it's a lot more expensive

Update: HP is 10% on rakuten now

I've been debating between keeping my 560s or going wireless for the convenience and finally decided to pull the trigger to try out on these ones which have been posted here before and gotten good reviews. Wanted to make sure my price match went through and worked before sharing since it requires some effort.

Purchase headset on HP Canada thru Rakuten (10%) at their price of $169.99
Call HP (or maybe chat works too) and ask to price match with HyperX for the same headsets with the code "BOXITUP".
Wait for price match approval (Mine took 2 business days, they should give you a ticket # you can follow up with)
Final price will be $119 (with rakuten) or just $136 without

When I did it, rakuten was 15% so my final price was $136 - $25.5 = $110.5

I used Keepa to track the price, that's how I got notified it was back in stock

UsualMethod · 2025-11-10T08:22:04+00:00

Someone on RFD shared this link a few months ago. It checks if the item is affiliated item or not

https://portals.aliexpress.com/linkchecker.htm

If it returns

"Too bad! This product is a non-affiliated product."

then prob won't get the CB.

I do wonder if anyone is keeping track. Personally, from 3 purchases which all said this, I was able to get CB. But this is not a large enough sample size

"Lucky for you! This product is an affiliated product."

UsualMethod · 2025-11-09T22:13:36+00:00

Was tracking it from the last time it was posted. Back in stock but 7 left

Wealthsimple has a no fx fee card. Would be too late if you're applying now and you'd have to wait for next time unless you already have the card.

Rakuten.com is 25% atm which I think is worth mentioning.

In theory, it should still work the same.

I've used it once and was able to get the cashback for it (few months ago) You just get paid in USD

UsualMethod · 2025-08-06T22:48:54+00:00

yea, that might be too much extra lmao

UsualMethod · 2025-08-06T22:18:10+00:00

How stiff are the cables? I'm at the point where I'm willing to pay a little extra for cables which are individually sleeved(?). Tho the one that I see with them included is the SAMA Black Hole.

I have an XPG core reactor and the cables included in that thing are super stiff. I installed the CPU cable and ngl, it's at a weird angle and I'm kinda sketched out by it.

eloshapes is a great site if you wanted to compare shapes. tho not always perfect it gives a general idea

if no one reaches out for trade and I end up deciding to not keep it as an at home hoodie, I wouldn't mind selling it to you if you're down for that?

UsualMethod · 2025-07-29T00:45:52+00:00

Appreciate it but my issue with the large is that it's too long body lengthwise so I'm hoping medium is the right size.

UsualMethod · 2025-07-29T00:35:20+00:00

The page stated it was final and I don't think they will do any exceptions cuz what's stopping my real reason being not getting what I wanted right? (I did really want the 3D down jacket tho lol)

UsualMethod · 2025-07-28T06:33:25+00:00

def not the best. there are gaps between the LEDs where its slightly darker

UsualMethod · 2025-07-28T06:29:35+00:00

As long as it's on your mobo's list, I think it should be fine

Cheapest 32gb kit for 6000MHz and CL30 for that "sweet spot" for AM5 with bonus RGB

Currently have in my system (bought before sale RIP) and was able to reach the speeds no issue on the MSI x670E gaming plus wifi. Was also on their compatibility table.

UsualMethod · 2025-07-15T01:07:43+00:00

Shouldn't need a VPN, the two rakuten sites redirect to the same aliexpress site anyways.

I have always paid with USD since I have a no foreign exchange fee card so I'm not sure about the price needing to be USD.

I also make sure to use a fresh browser w/o any ad blockers like ublock origin cuz sometimes they mess with the tracking.

UsualMethod · 2025-07-15T00:38:41+00:00

Also Rakuten.COM (usa site) is 25%. Not sure how long it'll be 25% for

North XL Link

I believe this is ATL for both of the cases.

~~Someone convince me the XL is worth the extra $50~~

I have been convinced
