Hi @iRobinPro ,
I saw a second hand used AirPods Pro 1st gen for 8k-9k with warranty till Nov 2023 ,(first person originally bought on Oct-2022 then replaced new unit at Iplanet ) no care + enabled (in Olx) with pouch, is it a good deal ?
After checking the working conditions shall I buy for this price or go for other deals ?
Considering airpods 2nd gen at this price range will be good deal bro. as it dont have applecare+ if there is any further issue after 1 year or if you want to replace it within that 2 years ending period as I suggest in our videos.
right now both airpods 1 and 2 are available in same price online. around 12K range. when there is an offer, new one costs 9K around. so my suggestion will be considering new one.
Thank you for your suggestions bro. So you mean comparing with AirPods Pro 1st gen, AirPods 2nd gen is best performance wise ?
What are the major differences between these above 2 models?
My mistake, I thought its airpods 1st gen and not airpods pro 1st generation. But again the suggestions remain same abilash bro. as its pro model, the price of 8K is definitely worth it. as there is a warranty till november 2023. but verifying original or clone airpods or airpods pro model when we buy from random seller is very tricky.
I did suggest some steps in this episode about fake airpods identifying,
you may try these steps too. Verify the bill copy and then you may close the deal.
buying airpods from known contacts is always safe when it comes to used airpods. otherwise we could be scammed. clone copies are tough to identify these days. take care of these things in consideration and decide.
Hi @iRobinPro ,
I am planning to buy AirPods 3rd gen only due to its spatial audio feature. In planet mini store they told there is only mag safe compatible model available(20,900, but selling at 20,500), lightning case (19,900) model differs only by 10k less.
Discount : 2k on HDFC credit card full swipe (no no-cost EMI, 14% interest applicable) + care+ free (offer only today and tomorrow)
Can you suggest if this is a good deal or wait is required ?
for airpods 3rd gen with magsafe case it would be good to buy it around 17 or 18K bro. its alright you bought it with apple care+ which also comes around the same price range. its ok. try to reupload the attached image. if its bill copy then dont upload it with address or contact details bro for privacy reasons.
I didn’t bought yet, actually I was just asking suggestion about purchasing bro. When the offers will come bro in near future? Any idea bro. This was the picture I tried to upload before
There are 2 models in same AirPods 3 , but they are selling only MagSafe one as this is fast moving model
Oh. Ok Abilash. then yes we can expect some offers in the coming weeks. mostly at flipkart and amazon. at showrooms HDFC card cashback 2500 will be the one we can expect. applecare+ always comes at additional cost. You may give a month or two time and watch out for offers. I will be sharing any such news in our social media feeds too. or you can check online for offers 3 to 4 days once to know about such offers too.
@iRobinPro , I saw this deal in Amazon
But reviews looks too scary, shall I go for it or not ?
Also how to opt for care+ option when buying through online stores ? Kindly suggest me bro
with amazon or flipkart its always scary 
just couple weeks back I have bought one airpods 3 from flipkart with offers for gifting a friend. its perfect in condition. I prefer amazon over flipkart anyday. so far havent experienced any problems bro.
Still always recording full unboxing video and activating applecare+ will make sure if there is any issue we can get replacement for free with video recording. if any damage in future applecare+ will cover it. if there is additional hdfc card cashback offer on amazon go for it. else waiting for 1500 to 2000 additional cashback offer will be much useful.
Ok Bro. Even some of my previously known office colleagues too suggest that Amazon is best. Actually Amazon pay ICICI card has 5% cashback (849) for prime members then No-cost EMI available for 3/6 months. Only these offers I’m eligible with. To summarize, I may purchase at 16,999-849.95(5%) = 16,149/- after summing all the discounts mentioned above.
Now I think it looks a stealer-deal. Let me know your opinion and guide me how to enable care+ option while buying at online stores…
yes. in that case you may consider it abilash. sounds good too. applecare+ you can contact apple customer care toll free via support app and activate it.
Hi @iRobinPro ,
I ordered AirPods 3rd gen at 17k price. After receiving the product at 25th March, got to know that warranty is enabled 12 days before (13th March)in settings app. But while unboxing I recorded video, looking like new one, then I spoke to Amazon customer care and claimed for replacement , they asked to share photos of the received product, at last they told refund is the only option. I opted for refund and gave a feedback that trust on Amazon online shopping went down after this (incident) experience.
Going forward I made my mindset that I will go for offline shopping with higher priority if product price crosses 10k
In such cases of earlier warranty activation, we can call apple customer care and adjust the warranty date bro. But its alright, amazon customer care is good with return and refund options. good to know you are planning to go with offline store purchase.
Hi @iRobinPro ,
Can you share any experience (if any) using AirPods 3 while driving with helmet ? Was it good? Does it fallen down anytime ?
Is it advisable/recommended ?
I want to use for office meetings and music listening & movie watching other than that occasionally I want to use while driving.
Pls share your opinion.
Hi bro, as a general safety reasons, using headphones while driving should be avoided especially with ANC. in City driving it will be difficult to concentrate. I have used just one side airpod while driving wiht helment, and for moderate speed it was working good. But at speed people at the other end of the call will hear wind noise when it blows directly to the mic area of the airpods side with or without helmet.
using both airpods while diriving is risky. if you want to use it, then use it without ANC. and moderate volume will be safe to hear vehicles horn and aware the surrounding while driving. Thats what I am following all the days abilash.
Hi iRobinPro,
I was missed my charging case AirPods Pro 1st generation. Can you pls suggest to buy a charging case
original charging case available at apple service center bro. cost could be 7500 approximately. you can check with nearest apple service center once. Buying just the case from Olx, Quickr or other marketplaces is very risky. People could sell fake or clone airpods and its cases for higher price.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will check with nearby Apple service centre
