Different models - Standard vs ANC.
Thanks - not an Apple Person :)
Macapp has some negative feedback on ebay that suggests airpods were "fake" or faulty for some buyers.
Largely positive otherwise, so buy at own risk I guess.
It's so hard to tell the difference these days tbh.
Exactly… it's why I only buy airpods from legit storefront businesses (although there's probably still a small risk that fakes have worked their way into the supply chain).
I've bought known fakes before and was amazed at how hard it was to spot the difference (I couldn't !!)… so I wonder if ebay will side with buyers, just because they "think" their purchased item is fake.Can check with serial number or take to an Apple Store, possibly the only way? I’m not 100% sure
If you can’t tell, doesn’t that illustrate that its not worth buying the real ones?
If you own the real ones and someone gives you a knock off, you'll notice unless your ears are damaged or stupid. The ones who wont notice if its a knock off are those who dont own one already. Which can be said for any item.
@vlahka: You’ve touched on a psychological theory that we habituate to what we have, and the concept of “ignorance is bliss”. There are people in this world who love their pre-ground coffee, the sound from the built-in speakers on their tv, and their cheap fake airpods. I am jealous of these people.
On the flipside, i still drive a 20yo corolla. I’ve watched a shopping trolley careen into it at a car park and did not care one bit. Such a satisfying feeling of freedom. That’s enough philosophy for today though…
better to spend a bit more to get Pro?
Some people don't like the 'in-ear' of the Pro.
Yeah, I hate stuffing those silicon type of earbud tips into my ear canal. I find them really uncomfortable but many others have no issue… Just comes down to personal preference.
Same here.. I got the ANC Airpods 4 and they are comfy on the ear.
Pro works for me.. standard one just fall off as I don't have the groove in my ear that is required for this to be in place.
The Pro 2 is the only Airpods model with clinical hearing aid function if that is useful for you.
But Jan 2025 delivery, no thanks lol
Damn, just ordered one without noticing this… Changed my mind now.
Pretty sure it won't actually be in Jan… Based on the Moto debacle last week
No they are quite accurate with the dates, I bought my Apple TV https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/876326 and they actually got dispatch last week (arriving this week). So don't say I didn't warn ya.
I pre-ordered from MacApp and they overestimate their delivery times, I got them a month before I expected to.
Will officeworks price beat this?
No they won't beat a code
Na, private seller and likely a scam
$16 more, just get it from JB to be safe from possible fakes?
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-airpods-4This one with ANC
my bad - ignore me
Done before you even asked :)
Thanks OP
Just when I thought I got a great deal for $240 when they were first released back in September… Ah well, I'm enjoying mine!
No, this is the equivalent at JB ($276)
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-airpods-4-with-acti…been burnt with fake airpods before. I wouldn't buy again from any non-"mainstream" seller.
look up online videos/articles - the fakes are almost impossible to tell apart from genuine initially
NB - not suggesting this seller is dodgy, or these items are fake.
I have heard that in some Chinese online platforms, seller mix in fake/refurb ones with new stocks, so while you are getting that genuine feedback and much of the orders saw customer getting the good ones, the price is 'subsidised' by the fact that part of the stock is not genuine which leads to these negative feedback.
Might also be the case here tbh, oh well, gonna be a spin of luck to see if I hit it jackpot, if not - heres hoping that ebay plus/paypal sides with me - which they should (?)
Macapp eBay is owned by wireless1 https://www.wireless1.com.au/
they have been operating since 2006 as physical stores, then moved to purely online in 2018thanks, didn't know that. i don't see wireless one selling fakes intentionally, and they probably validate their suppliers (even if grey importing)
price is too good to be true but that changes the equation IMO and probably makes it worth the risk (although I won't bite. sticking with officeoworks, amazon etc even if paying a bit more).
Was just looking at this today. Thanks heaps for the find OP.
Would love ANC on a pair of earpods but I absolutely hated the full in ear style with the silicone fittings - I am aware these create a better seal, but they also kills my ears.
I'm sure theres quite a few others like me and I'm glad apple made something for thos of us thats in this boat.
Good price but like others have said, I’m also worried about fakes. Waiting for a better deal (hopefully)
Smells fishy
Sometimes we need reminding of the old saying: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
Very hard when the bargain hunting side of the brain doesn't want to listen to logic. :D
I'm so conflicted because macapp are good usually but i almost bought a pair of fakes off ebay yesterday from another place that seemed really good. I bought the non noise cancelling version for $180 at hub by triforce yesterday but yeah I don't think its worth the risk
edit: and the fact it wont come before christmas too
I bought these from from macapp when they were on pre-order, and the ones I received I am confident we not fakes. I had the option to register the AirPods with apple care via iPhone settings. I doubt the fakes can do that.
the fakes can do that. we did that plus a whole bunch of other tests and it seemed fine. until my daughter dropped it and it just split at the seams and we could see the inside was clearly not genuine. Apple said the fakes generate valid SN's now and if you don't have a proof of purchase from an authorised reseller, the apple care becomes invalid. YMMV obviously
Damn expired at checkout
was on the edge, but already have airpod pro 2
Good deal, I too bought one from them on the initial release. I am inter In comments made around the fake ones! How could it be fake if your device recognises it and it comes up with S/N and warranty term!
I got burnt with fake airpod pros 2. They show up as genuine airpods, including the menu in settings, and warranty details etc all appear to be genuine. I know they are fake because find my doesn't work, and they don't sound anywhere near as good as my original airpods pro. So just because they come up in warranty doesn't mean they are genuine unfortunately.
Well then I wouldn't know if mine are genuine or fake. Got air pods pro 2 and this one from the same seller. All I can tell is air pods pro 2 sound better louder more clear and slightly better ANC and better battery. But hate the silicon in ear bit and use these ones more often and love them. They do come up in find my.
I thought macapp is authorised apple retailer!
So many fakes on eBay guys, look closely
I have ordered the same item from the same store in last deal
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866848Confirmed its genuine
Able to check on Apple Care
Able to seamlessly transfer between Apple device (Mac, iPad, iPhone)
Able to change noise cancellation settings in iphone (transparant, adaptive, noise cancellation)
Any Android users here? How do these headphones work with those?
Haven't used this ones but have connected my gf's previous model airpods to my S23 with no issues other than them seeming overpriced compared to my cheapy soundpeats haha
Do you know if ANC worked, or was able to be turned on/off?
Yes of course, those aren't eco-system locked
No because I said hers were a previous model so no ANC on them, airpod 3's.
