Just saw this when browsing upcoming deals. Looks like a good price.
Note - starts 9am 13/10!
Other deals found –
Mod 1010am: The deal never eventuated at 9am, nor is it listed in upcoming lightning deals, moved to forums as unobtainable. If it does become available in the future, a user can post it as a new deal post.
Do they do it for things that require memberships?
As long as if it's not limited to Prime Members
Might sell out quick so bit risky
This deal is exclusively for Amazon Prime members.
FYI - just did a price beat for the normal AirPods just now.
so do give them a try too.
Aren't these usually $299 previously in ozb?
Yes, and there are longrunning pricematch deals to get it 300-320 from officeworks
Will it be like eBay plus lottery? Where bots compete with humans !!
why would bots compete? this is like around the avg price it sells for nowadays. barely any resell profit at this price
Only $50 more at JBHIFI if you all miss out to bots https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-airpods-pro (with a price match at office works for added saving).
See my below comment for cheaper.
How do you browse upcoming deals like this?
Ye how do you?
on the app:
on the website:
I feel like an amazon support bot 😂
haha i know you're not amazon support but is there a way to filter by "Sold by Amazon AU"? I don't want to see half the rubbish deals from third party sellers.
Just click on "today's deals", then select electronics, and then keep going forward until you find the 9/10am deals
For Prime Day, peek upcoming deals here: https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-prime-day-201416660…
If you miss out, Mediaform has it for $316 or around $300 with OW PB.
It’s $328 at Catch. $301 after 8% off gift cards. Wait till weekend for targeted $15 coupon. You can easily get it for $287 and if you sign up with referral it will be $277.
Gift cards, coupons and referral codes all together is the OzBargain way. Nice. Also 8% cash back possibly. That’s cheap.
No cashback with gfs and codes
If you’d actually tried them you’d know they’re worth every cent.
Mate, they're not "worth every cent". Anyone thinking these are 12 times better than QCY T5 buds is dreaming. In a blind test, T5s may even come on top for some testers. I've tried them both, and I own T5s (as well as a few other buds). Don't waste your $$.

My son prefers T7s, but those are more like "classic" Airpods.
Are you basing your opinions purely on sound quality? Because AirPods Pro was never an audiophile set of earphones. The Sonys sound better. It’s so much more than just sound with AirPods Pro eg ANC, transparency, spatial audio and convenience. Since you have the pros, try out the spatial audio on Disney plus if you have it.
@Phil22: Latest firmware update improved both sound and ANC as well as the really cool spatial audio.
Pity the iPhone 12 launch day is Wednesday. Might be a new airpod out.
Just realists and not Apple haters. It’s ozbargain, we value our money, we know what’s good or not otherwise it wouldn’t be so popular here. Maybe try it before commenting on its value. Makes sense doesn’t it?
'perceived' value.
If this didn't have 'Apple' as the brand name, the same OzBargainers would ridicule it for the price.
Good on em' though, their marketing has worked wonders clearly!
@SelfMade: Are you insulting my intelligence? They are the best all round wireless earphone at the moment. Why don’t you name a better wireless earphone for cheaper. I dare you. Again, why don’t you actually try them before commenting. Anything you say is virtually moot.
@Phil22: LoL
Try these, from an actual audio company:
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/sennheiser-momentum-true-…
@SelfMade: Is this a joke? Half the battery life of the AirPods Pro and no ANC. And only $50 less. The Pros are good because they are stupid convenient. You would know if you’d tried them. Seriously tho, try the AirPods Pro, try the new spatial audio feature. There’s nothing on the market like it. You would know if you’d tried them or done your research.
And also, LOL
@Phil22: I just have, and there's a whole website that lists them, fairly:
https://www.scarbir.com/guide/apple-airpods-pro-vs-cheap-tws
Before you hit your keyboard, I own and use a mix of Apple, Samsung, LG and a number of devices from other manufacturers. I sell what I don't like. QCY buds are all keepers (1/10th !!), as well as Jabra at about half the price (on real deals).
Now carry on about your intelligence, that's the topic you picked.
Why don’t you name a better wireless earphone for cheaper.
Sorry but which one of these earphones are better than AirPods Pro’s?
@Phil22: Define better. Most, if not all of them, are much, much better value. T5 win hands down in that category. Jabra wins in quite a few reviews on a number of points.
T5 and T7 are simply excellent, even without price consideration. The fact that you can have them for $25 AUD is truly unbelievable. T7 build quality is so good, you can only regard them to be a premium product. It's that ridiculous.
@mrau: With the cheaper earphones, you're missing out on things the AirPods do best ie convenience, ANC, transparency mode and the ridiculously impressive spatial audio. AirPods Pro are the best all round earphone IMO. The ones you have listed are certainly better value for money. But they are not better based on overall performance and features.
@Phil22: You're spending your own money, not mine. I'm just wondering if people would be willing to spend $250K on a Mercedes Benz A180, rather than $25K on a Toyota Corolla Hybrid. That is exactly the equivalent of what you're suggesting here. No joke.
Please explain the 35% hearables market share airpods have
I personally have and use AirPods, but it's a joke and tone deaf to say people only buy them because of their fantastic audio quality.
People do buy for the brand and the look - I have a mate who doesn't even use any other Apple products, but he has AirPods which he then connects to his Samsung phone and Windows laptop.
I paid $300 for my set a few years ago - they're a decent, reliable set of true wireless earphones that work almost seamlessly with my Apple devices and otherwise - I can count on one hand the times I've had issues after all these months. But those are usually fixed by re-pairing or restarting.
But when I put on my headphones at home I can tell the difference in audio quality - that's okay though, AirPods aren't meant to be audiophile products, they're meant for what they're used for - wireless earphones for while you're out and about. Good wired earphones and headphones will always sound better - but that's just by virtue of the Bluetooth transmission medium.
Any chance of Xiaomi Ultrawide monitor coming in for the sale ? 😛😛
I don’t understand why people thought these amazon sales would be better than the eBay plus ones - these seem terrible
Amazon usually have decent stock levels, and don’t usually sell out in 2.5ms of the deal going active…
Amazon deals don’t sell out as quickly because they’re usually not stupid cheap like ebay deals.
what's the point of stupid cheap ebay plus deals
when most people can't even buy it since it is sold out in less than 1 second.
rather get it on amazon at a reasonable deal price
and at least you know you have a better chance to get one..
Also amazon checkout system is a million times better than ebay's DUMB checkout..
On amazon, if you grab the item when it is available, it is held for you for like 10 mins until you checkout.
@pinkybrain: Don’t get me wrong. Amazon over Ebay any day. Just explaining why they don’t sell out as fast as ebay
@Phil22: I understand…
but ebay plus deals is just shit even if the prices are insane
which they drip feed x amount of units every hour (and therefore you need to waste your entire day thinking the next hour I might get a chance and giving you false hope)
Most of the ebay plus purchases are snapped up by bots and a few lucky people in less than a second..
Ebay plus insane prices deals don't actual benefit most of ebay plus members (since most miss out).
The only thing these stupid ebay plus insane prices deals purpose is to sign up more ebay plus members..
Ebay plus has no true value/benefit (unlike Amazon prime which has alot of real benefits)
other than the few times each year where they put these stupid ebay plus insane prices deals
which they say see "this is why you should join ebay plus"
which most ebay plus members can't even get.**
@Phil22: of course they "pay" you..
cos they know that their shit membership program has no true inherent benefits…
only time you actually make a profit ($1) is when they give you $50 for $49 membership
after that they try to get you to rejoin by giving a $30 voucher for a $49 membership
which results in you losing $19 for no real benefit
Not live yet?
Not live , whats going on?
Just to add to it, while browsing for upcoming deals earlier , I could not see this deal anywhere.
Don't know where OP got this from and the screenshot?
Yeah I couldn’t see this deal anywhere either
Yes. Same here.
I am a bit skeptical on this deal and the screenshot OP shared above.
It says deal starts at 9 : 00 , dot
But all deals usually start at 8:59 , 7:59 etc.
So, I am thinking the screenshot seems doctored
Yep I found it last night but when I looked again this morning it was gone.
You did? That's a relief then.
We should ask OP about it
@OneIdiot: I did by following skido’s instructions and scrolling heaps. The only thing was it didn’t list a price for me so not sure how to have seen the $299 price.
not live, I’m confused
Not live - or is this tomorrow?
confused too
Can someone call Jeff and check?
Maybe tomorrow as the non-pro version is live? - https://www.amazon.com.au/Apple-AirPods-Charging-Latest-Mode…
not showing on lightning deals…
9pm maybe?
cant see ps4 pro deal up either.
keep checking back maybe?
Is this 9am standard time? Or 9pm?
We dont even know the day. Could be tomorrow. A screen snip with no other context isnt that helpful.
had it as "watched deal" and it disappeared. damn.
Back in stock now
The AirPods are back!
Price match at officeworks?
