First post. Unless I'm missing something, I just stumbled across these for $279. Could try an OW price match?

edit: OW won't price match as the part number (MWP22ZAA) isn't clearly listed on the dicksmith website

Minchinbury officeworks have 10 in stock and happy to price match $275.49 8/5/20 17:07pm

edit: To those saying "Thanks OP!", a HUGE thank you to this community that I have been a part of for about a decade! I am on ozbargain every day and I am SO happy that my first post made so many people happy! You guys are amazing.

edit: I called the store I got the price match from (Minchinbury). They said there has been no "flagging from head office" or angry recourse from management but the price has been changed on DS and so no more matches. She was happy to do it. Im happy for everyone who was able to get one (or two!). 8/5/20 18:33pm

      You need to call again bro. Be super nice and they will do it.

      Whisper sweet nothings and should be good.

    Looks like it must have been 379 instead of 279. That's the price on kogan. Someone messed it up.

      They work best with Apple ecosystem.

      Or make good resell on Gumtree.

      • BarginGrabber on 08/05/2020 - 16:48

        It's not that great for reselling tbh.

        Look at eBay, you could maybe make like $40 profit.

        Personally wouldn't bother unless you want to give them as a gift or for yourself

  • TheYeetDoe on 08/05/2020 - 16:45

    Just called Officeworks, price match got refused by the rep. Looks like its hit and miss judging by the comments.

    • HappyXD on 08/05/2020 - 16:48

      what did they say as for the reason?

      • TheYeetDoe on 08/05/2020 - 16:52

        That Dick Smith was part of Kogan and Kogan had it listed for 2 different prices. He also went on to say the Dick Smith page was missing the manufacturers part number.

    • PasqualeOz on 08/05/2020 - 17:25

      Called OW, rep said company wide email they are refusing price match as their team are attempting to confirm it is the same product. Sounds like a stall tactic so that DS will sell out and they don’t have to price match regardless.

  • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 16:46

    can people please share their receipt from OW please!

        wait you can pricematch online?

        • Vitorll on 08/05/2020 - 17:22

          by the phone yes. I’m afk now but go to their website and click on price beat banner at the bottom

      • rocky7st on 08/05/2020 - 19:15

        Thanks for the screenshot. I'm going to see if I can do a price protection claim

    • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 17:34

      thank you all for uploading the receipts.
      I have ordered one on DS as I couldn't live with the FOMO if OW refused to price beat….

      Now, for others who have missed out, are they able to use your receipts to get a price match in OW stores?

  • Bob Lou on 08/05/2020 - 16:47

    Great price, pulled the trigger.

  • Gradesbrah on 08/05/2020 - 16:48

    Attempted OW Price Match over the phone. Refused and said I must attend store in person for them to do all the checks.

    I ordered online to be safe. OzBargain sin leaving $15 on the table but would rather that than miss the YOLO opportunity.

    Bought 1 thanks OP!!!

  • TwentyTwoCarats on 08/05/2020 - 16:49

    If someone who has used Galaxy Buds and Airpods 1/2/Pro, can you tell me whether the Airpods stay in your ear while doing running and sports?

    Because my Galaxy Buds always stay in my ears securely, whether I'm running or playing basketball or upside down in the gym, it doesn't matter they don't fall out.

    • ExpressCoffee on 08/05/2020 - 16:51

      can confirm they 100% do for me. (basketball, running, gym, cycling) And they come with different sized tips too. Only way mine has fallen out is my helmet strap hitting it.

      • TwentyTwoCarats on 08/05/2020 - 16:54

        Just to confirm that's airpods pro? Sounds pretty good, and didn't know they come with different sized tips.

        • ExpressCoffee on 08/05/2020 - 17:14

          yep, airpods pro.

          Had normal ones too and while they were still secure for my ear shape, they were more likely to fall out

    • tienanbich on 08/05/2020 - 17:02

    • Justahappymortal on 08/05/2020 - 19:14

      Hi this might sound like a stupid question… but is there a time limit for when I can price match with Officeworks with someone else’s receipt? For instance, if I go in-store tomorrow with this receipt showing today’s date, would they possibly allow the price beat? Thanks for any help in advance.

  • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 16:49

    Got a price match at Officeworks, they added the delivery fee though. Thanks!

    • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2020 - 17:13

      How do you do the price match with an online order?

      • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 17:16

        I went in store and showed them the link to DS. It was really quick and easy for me, so I guess I'm one of the lucky few.

        • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2020 - 17:21

          What's the delivery fee for if you were there? I wondered if you'd done this over the phone.

          • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 18:02

            @[Deactivated]: It was just accounting for the fact that you need to pay a delivery fee when ordering from DS since they don't have physical stores here - which was $10.99.

    Just my opinion on the ANC of the AirPods Pro.

    I got my AirPods Pro on release in November last year.

    Overall, they're the best for use with Apple devices and I love the convenience.

    When first released, the ANC in particular was FANTASTIC! I had the Sony WF-1000XM3s for about 4 months before to use on shorter domestic flights. Their noise-cancelling was good. But the AirPods Pro were at least as good, and were much more comfortable to wear.

    However, the firmware update from December significantly crippled the ANC. They just weren't the same in flights anymore. The firmware update from a few days ago has helped a bit. But I feel it's still nowhere near as good as what the ANC was on original release.

    • chid on 08/05/2020 - 16:55

      I can relate to the above. I got the Pros at release and the ANC was incredible - though it had the side effect of causing a bit of nausea for me (not sure why). Post
      December though that feeling disappeared (with the side effect of more sound on buses and around the place).

      On planes (in Nov) the flight noise was dramatically lower but not as good as the Bose over-ears.

    • TwentyTwoCarats on 08/05/2020 - 16:55

      can you turn ANC on and off?

      • chid on 08/05/2020 - 16:56

        There are three modes. On, off (passive only) & transparency.

      • z10cvbnm on 08/05/2020 - 16:56

        Yes

  • Hagasalami on 08/05/2020 - 16:54

    it's like tossing a dice when speaking to a rep. luck-based if they agree to price match. 2 attempts failed.

    • lakes_8 on 08/05/2020 - 16:57

      4 more rolls of the dice

  • annexe on 08/05/2020 - 16:56

    Checked at Alexandria OW and they can't price match due to missing parts/model number.

  • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 17:00

    just rang OW and was told by the staff they need to check this with the manager and call me back…sigh, hopefully the manager approves. Several people have successfully got OW to price beat!

    • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 17:03

      You should go to the store a.s.a.p. unless the store is willing to hold one for you.

      • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 17:05

        thought the process is to get price beat over the phone before rocking up at a store?
        trying to avoid a trip for nothing.

        • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 17:19

          Well, I am guessing a lot of OZBers will just go to the stores directly. This type of price match requires manager approval.
          Anyway, best of luck. Hope you already heard back from them and are on your way there.

          • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 17:23

            @netsurfer: nope still no response….judging by the comments below the manager has flagged this deal and will unlikely price beat.
            I placed an order on Dick Smith…hope OW calls me back and tells me ok then I will check if there is time to cancel the order with Dick Smith.

            • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 17:24

              @Ozbogans: And here comes another issue. Pricing error now corrected.

              • Ozbogans on 08/05/2020 - 17:30

                @netsurfer: I got in before they fixed it. Was on the payment page while phoning OW!
                I hope they honour the deal as the chance OW will price beat now is slim.

  • Ronan2001 on 08/05/2020 - 17:02

    Just ordered one. Hopefully, it is local stock.

  • sskanth999 on 08/05/2020 - 17:02

  • Buy2Much on 08/05/2020 - 17:02

    Good price, considering that Kogan is the supplier and it is still $379 on their web site https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/apple-airpods-pro-apple/

    100% a price error. Kogan which is the same company shows $379 for the same Airpodss.

    Got these a couple of months ago and thought I wouldnt take to them, but geez……they are good. Love walking around Melbourne CBD being able to here the traffic and also Kraftwork. Seamless in taking calls, no complaints about clarity. The pros are a great product.

    I went into OW in FG, Vic, and they won't price beat. They said they just don't do Dick Smith or Kogan or Toby Deals. PBMYA$$.

    • videoman on 08/05/2020 - 17:13

      You should have called them liars and showed them all the receipts from people who have already got it.

    • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 17:15

      Officeworks now price matches grey import sites as long as they are based in Australia. Maybe mention that just before you leave? Best of luck :)

      • Ameowzon on 08/05/2020 - 17:16

        They were saying that even though it is based in Australia or have a .com.au, their products are imported or grey stock, and will not have the same warranty, return policy, etc. What applies to ALL grey stock, so it sounded like a blanket NO to such sites anymore :S

        • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 17:18

          What… I hate this huge variability of price matching policies around VIC, it seems like some stores set their own rules. Horrible. I've experienced the same before, you really can't change their mind I guess.

    • pzhon on 08/05/2020 - 17:35

      • Ameowzon on 08/05/2020 - 17:51

        I was there even before Dick Smith put the price up. They just won't allow it when they hear Dick Smith.

        • pzhon on 08/05/2020 - 18:04

    • Skramit on 08/05/2020 - 17:20

      It’s a price error and these orders will all be cancelled. I still ordered one though.

    • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 17:23

      OZBers go to OW mainly because most feel this is actually a pricing error. Considered USD pricing and even with the recent $25 off offered by both Verizon and AT&T, the chance of this being a pricing error is quite high.

  • fifoo on 08/05/2020 - 17:20
