Just listed by Myer, quite a few people were waiting for these as Myer removed the listing before the sale started. There are 653 available but the listing may be pulled before that. Same price as the previous Myer 20% off deal.
Update 27/10 1pm: Back in stock but click & collect only, delivery no longer offered.
iPad, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac, Apple TV etc. are still available via the other deals
Officeworks price beat excludes 'Cash back and coupon offers'. LPG.
So don't expect them to do it, just a warning :)
Officeworks excludes cashback and coupon offers.
Edit - what he said.
Strictly, yes, which is why I didn't post this as a deal. However it does depend on the staff member you get at the time of purchase at Officeworks as has been mentioned in previous AirPod posts. When I bought my AirPods I brought this deal to Officeworks in Milton, Brisbane and they were happy to match as able to purchase and pickup at Myer locally. Worth trying if it results in bigger discounts :)
Got a pair of these a while ago, very happy with them. The case was smaller than I thought, it's not even the height of a box of tic-tacs. At first I was a bit worried they'll fall out, but they are very compact and light, so they won't fall out unless knocked. It's also really easy to pair up with multiple Apple devices, changing from iPad to iPhone to MBP is way simpler than my Sony bluetooth headphones that I have to disconnect from one device before connecting to another.
There's very little sound isolation though, so you'll hear everything around you while wearing these. This could be a positive or negative depending on the person. The sound quality is as good as I've heard on wireless, obviously falls behind my wired Audio Technicas but just as good as my Sony MDR100ABN and the variety of $30-100 canal phones I own.
Thanks, reading online reviews can be hit and miss so I always appreciate reading experiences from actual users.
the variety
Canalphones create a seal which significantly improves audio quality so I'm unclear as to how you rate them just as good …
Sound comes from drivers not the seal. Open/closed sound is a matter of personal preference, my ATH-AD700 don't form a vacuum and sound better than anything else that I own.
It's not working now
Argh, they lowered quantity 3 minutes ago:

Quantity
Hopefully it comes back later on.
It of stocks😂
out already? I ordered as soon as I saw the OP's post…then realized afterwards I could have got Frequent Flyer points for it :(
Oh well…..xmas present sorted.
I find it outrageous that nowadays we pay $200 for a pair of earphones. Not criticising the deal though.
Especially for something as run of the mill as a set of Apple airpods. It's not like they're a known high quality brand like Etymotic or Shure whose entire business is earphones.
It's not like they're wireless, offer additional functionality or anything…
But agreed, they are a little overpriced but calling them simply earphones is underselling them a bit.
simply earphones
What do they do beyond what, er, simple earphones do?
Besides the fact that they are wireless, I don't know.
should I, should I not…urghh
Unfortunately/fortunately the choice has been made for you, out of stock.
Thanks.. I have been praying they put back the AirPods. I was tempted to just go out to buy from Apple Store. Glad that I waited.
I have been praying they put back the AirPods.
Why so religious about technology?
Bummer, I was ready and waiting for these when the possibility they might be added was mentioned earlier in the week. I jump on here now and OOS already. :( Fingers crossed they add more shortly.
Don't you just love this 5 star review of them from the listing:
Too expensive
My parents said it's too expensive to get it for $400 but I've been saving my money and I wanted them for ages so can I please get them for $100 each and I'll get 2 for $200 if it is okay because I'm only 12 years old.
Back again :)

Thanks mate.
Cheers, mate. Got a pair from the Sydney City store. Going to contact them and see if they willing to send to local store to collect. One can only try!
thanks and bought
Glad I waited :)
thanks op - bought one! :)
is this the new case version which could charge wirelessly?
No. As far as we know, the charging case will be an additional accessory. This is based on what Apple said at their last keynote.
ok, so have to buy that separately to get the functionality - just wondering if apple would release a version that would come with that by default
I think they are releasing it next year, when they launch their official wireless charging pad.
I was going to wait, but really the only thing different is wireless charging, and moving the notification light to the outside.
No delivery option is a right pain in the clacker for us country folk.
I was just about to walk to HN and buy these retail. Thank you ozbargain
Is there a way to get a TRS friendly invoice from the Myer ebay store?
From when I've ordered from Myer ebay, they'll send out a proper tax invoice.
As long as you hit the TRS threshold of $300 you shouldn't have any problems.
Do these come with a cable for when I want to listen with higher quality instead of sub standard Bluetooth?
Nope. what you see is what you get
airpods themselves don't have any external ports to plug anything in. Only the airpod case has it and that's just for charging.
Soon they might release wirePods and charge even more. After they sort out the patents naturally.
Doubt it. Why would they do that when there's already BeatsX?
What do you mean you can't buy it? If there's stock in those stores you can order.
As with most places they deliver from a central warehouse, an individual store doesn't ship items. You should still be able to click and collect for the specific store.
Actually individual stores do ship things, clothing and homewares at least. I have an order atm with clothing coming from the Perth store and some from Knox City and I'm from Melbourne.
Interesting, thanks I didn't know Myer did that.
Anyone can confirm the cashreward doesn't work for ebay.com.au right now?
How is anyone meant to confirm that?
Looks to be all over now!
Literally just ended again. What a bummer. I had enough time to open the deal, but by the time I'd added to my cart, they were 'no longer available'. Sigh.
If anyone is still interested, I put 20 units up for $188.10 each delivered.
Do you still have any? Where are you located?
Sorry, our site wide promotion is over. For future reference, we are located in Sydney.
Thanks, got in and purchased a pair when they where up.
The store I selected said "in stock" yet the estimated time for pick up is 30/10.
Are they just slow or are these usually ready quicker than the turn around quote.
I believe it depends on individual store. My estimation is also 30/10 too.
But I have just received an email saying mine is ready to be picked up.
I ordered around 1pm this afternoon. So that's pretty quick!!!!
Is this gen 1 with no wireless charging?
At this stage this is the only generation as they have not announced a gen 2. In any case, gen 2 would most likely just be the case upgrade and no upgrade to the AirPods themselves according to the rumours.
Dang, too slow …
How do these compare to Zapals S6 Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Earbuds Sports (earPod lookalike) for $3.52?
Are these 53x better? I ordered white S6. I hope they can be charged from USB-C phone.
thanks OP, ordered at 12:40pm today and picked up at 4pm :)
Just picked up my order at Chadstone Myer. There are at least 20 plus unit on display rack. So get ready for another round of on-stock rush.
Really hope these come back in stock today!
Thanks for post OP. Those that can get to an Officeworks with stock you will be rewarded with an additional 5% off that price!
