For those OCD, yes they do sanitise the earpods after each person has tested it. 😂🤣

Thanks for sharing.

Wanted to try out the fitting at the store but decided not to since I will only use the AirPods during my runs. Trying it on for that few minutes standing or walking around inside the store will not positively helps me to assess how securely it will be on my ears. Don’t think the SA will allows me to try it on and run around the store 🤣

Welcome.

And u know what i think they do allow. I tested it by shaking my head , jumping up and down etc to see if it still stays on. Other ppl stare at me like i was crazy but the SA was totally fine with it. I think he understands. 😂🤣

I should go try it out 1 of these days.

Like Running Labs having a treadmill in-store for their salespersons to recommend suitable running shoes based on their running styles, maybe Apple should consider having one in their store too for potential customers to try on their new AirPods and run with it 👌

Actually there are 14 days return policy for all Apple products, you can return it within 14 days without any reason.
Just utilize the 14 days.

Sorry the return policy only for 3 local Apple Store and Apple Store online.

Not valid for Challenger, Best, Courts, Shoppe, Lazada and etc.

For those who won’t mind waiting awhile for delivery, there is an online seller on Qoo10 selling for $249. GrabPay has a $30 Qmoney cash back event. If you have coupon to stack, can get another $10-$20 off. Not a bad deal.

Shopee has Apple official store listing for $269. The store has a 15% coin cash back coupon. Look under Electronics for a 12% coupon. Max about 4.5K ($45) coins back back. But remember to select free shipping. By default it’s a $12 shipping fee.

Both option can stack with ShopBack I believe. Sharing as I’m considering to buy. My AirPods 2 went for a swim recently and never woke up since.
Thanks for the tip, bought off shopee.

No need, can buy, use it and return within 14 days if it doesn't suite you.

Thinking hard whether to get this gen 3.

I was the 1st gen user and it had served me well then the right side depleted the battery charge on its own after the 1 year warranty was over.

Upgraded to the Pro and it wasn't as fiting as my gen 1. One side kept slipping off my ear during my runs despite I experimented with different bud sizes. I thought it was supposed to be more fitting due to the silicon buds but it didnt worked for me 😩.

So it seems like I have better experience without the buds and hence considering to get this gen 3. Any expereince on the fitting for those who upgrades from gen 1 to the new gen?


different pple have diff ear canal design

Hi all, I went orchard store to try out the new AirPods, not sure why it just doesn't fit, it keep dropping out. Is there anything wrong? I end up buying the gen 2 with wireless charging, as I prefer the longer "stick".
