it actually looked very similar to airpods pro ...no?

how could one differentiate it?

good to disguise as pro while not paying for pro price.

i think likely pro will have redesigned next time..

This or Pro?

i still remember the 1st day I got the APP and walked around the shopping mall

a guy with his gf/wife was like staring at the APP as I walked past them ..

haha. icic.

btw ..if you're having APP ... how's the battery life now?

my 1st gen AP died within 2 years (crap battery during production maybe) ...

but my APP is still going strong now ever since getting it during Xmas 2019

don't think i will be getting the next gen APP or AP3/4 any time soon (hopefully)

i am having APP, battery seriously speaking so so only. i fully charge it on the go less than 2 hours no more battery already. (mine just got replaced recently - battery is considered brand new somemore).

The new v3 don’t have changeable eartips? 🤔

This or apple AirPods Pro?

The pro seems to be discounted often recently so the pricing would be Airpods 3 would be really close to the AirPods Pro.

But it loses out on some features.

Been waiting for ages 💪🏻💪🏻
I already have an earbud type (B&O Beoplay E8) so, earbuds design a.k.a AirPods Pro is out of my list. My ears are getting weak with the earbuds always 🥲

I’m glad Apple is releasing AirPods 3. Can’t wait for Malaysia website to release it.
Can replace my AirPods 2 already. Wanna die soon the batt

The price on website is rm829.
I bought the AirPods Pro during 10/10 at rm749. At this price I think no brainer to get AirPods Pro unless the silicon tips really is not for you or u really want the battery life.
Active noise cancellation is a really cool feature.

AirPods Pro will be more secured i think. I never like the AirPods anyways, don’t feel secure in the ears. Looks like the next AirPods Pro is going to be expensive now.

Any idea this will available at MY?

they just made it available for purchase today - in the US, will take a while before they open up for Malaysia.... maybe a week or so..

Yea should be a week from now, pretty soon

Great news yeay

Coming soon…price is about the same as AirPods Pro..

Never a fan of that AirPods Pro silicon tip…..so will opt for this gen 3 AirPods

Nice! I'm going wait to see what's new on the pro2, should be coming early or mid 2022..

I can’t wait that long, my current Gen 2 AirPods dropped a few time and can only listen to music, person on the line can’t hear what I am saying during the call.

Good luck bro….update us your review hahah

Ohh then better grab gen3, should be coming to us pretty soon..share with us your review on the gen3

Airpods 3 more like openback compare to AAP

Wait till neck loooooooooonnnnnnnng

should be coming soon already

How soon?

Soon!

nobody knows besides Apple

*fingers crossed!

If you cannot wait, you can buy Ipod pro at RM799 only from Machine on 11/11 sale.

I would wait for a few more months to see what’s good, since I’m not in rush and also believe APP2 should come in a redesign and some new features..

I think you’re referring to AirPods Pro? I think RM 799 is without the MagSafe….

Nah, I ok to wait for 3rd gen AirPods hehe

Yes 799 from machines now, without the new MagSafe case..last week it was on sale for 899 with MagSafe, I think from switch..

Yelp, switch is nor RM 849 with MagSafe at Lazada

3rd gen Airpods has landed!

Different with the current pro is only the rubber tip right?

Pro has ANC while Pods 3 don’t.

Pods 3 has the new skin sensor, Pro don’t.

Pods 3 better battery life, extra 4 hours I think?

The rest is almost give or take the same

Feels like ANC is much needed compared to battery life for me 😁

Then you got no choice, either pro or wait next year for Pro II

Placed the order at Apple Store MY yesterday, this afternoon status already showing Shipped. So it is shipping out from Singapore?

Yes, those without customization, usually ship from SG….unless you print some emoji…then will be from china….

once your item is shipped, apple will send you an email with a tracking I'd which you can track separately, either DHL or UPS..

Bro….forgot to update you hahaha….got my 3rd gen AirPods from Switch for 2 weeks now.

Fit nicely into my ears…..but not a very big difference in terms of listening to music…haven’t got a chance to try with calls yet

Nice…do you find it falling out of your ear frequently? And how does the battery last?

Nope, it sit just right in my ears…and battery life so far good….can last me 1 and 1/2 days actually listening on and off

New firmware update for the Airpods.

Prolly bug fixes.

cannot tahan the poison and pull trigger yesterday to buy Airpods Gen 3

TMT raw price: RM799
Lazada bonus: RM70
Lazada voucher: RM50 (got it from redemption)

Discounted price: RM679

That’s definitely a good bargain bro!

Yea, can pass my Airpods gen 2 to my wife d, lolz...

Just bought Airpods 3 and so far so great.

Good battery life
Fit well in my ears
Good call/mic quality
Can pair with my Android/iPhone/Windows 10 Desktop(bluetooth 5.0) well, but bass is better on iPhone than Android

Too bad it didn't come with USB C adapter, so only connect to my PC to charge the Airpods case for now while waiting for my USB C adapter to arrive

Received mine yesterday also, so far so good.

I have too many lightning cables now

Yeah. Looks like all new Apple products will start using USB C cable.

Hope they streamline all into one

Good thing that this new case also support magsafe.
Now no worry on wireless charging

But might still need sometime to get used to the stem mode instead of touch from Gen 2 XD

I came from wired earpods so this 3rd gen is a huge upgrade for me.


I don't have magsafe yet and I will buy Apple Watch SE soon and see if the 1m Magnetic charging cable that comes with it works with Airpods 3rd gen case or not

Short answer, No, bro XD

Differ charging mechanism.

Will see if I need to buy Magsafe in the future

At the moment I have no issue with the cable charging xD

Guys, how to update purchase date under my account?

Paired the Airpods gen 3, though i can see limited coverage expired 19 December 2022 under my iphone already.

But when i go to web site and check my devices, airpods 3 coverage shows:
"Purchase Date not Validated"
When i clicked the "Update purchase date", it brings me to the "support" application which there is shows coverage details as Covered.

Or i should just wait for it?

Hey, is this solved? Otherwise, give a call to apple MY to clarify with them. I suspect is just they system issue

Forgot to check XD

Tonight back if i remember then only check, haha

Thanks for remind

Guys, does the AirPods 3 fit well on your ears? My AirPods Pro have been destroyed by passing car. Sigh, now I’m looking for replacements and I’m not sure if I should just get the AirPods 2 since it’s cheaper or AirPods 3. Last time I chose AirPods Pro because I was scared that AirPods 2 can’t fit well into my ears.

Mine AP3 yes fit good
But the design is differ between AP3 and AP2.

If you have the old wired headphone by Apple as design similar to AP2, then you may try see.
AP3 more like APP without the silicon.

I ended up getting back the APP.
Damn, RM899 gone just like that, this is not even budgeted.....

Oh well i guess accidents happen.

No wait those sales period such as 1.1 , 16.1 ?

Normally can get better discount from TMT store (Lazada)

yeah i cannot wait already. i use it everyday for 5 - 6 hours phone calls.

Hi does airpods 3 bought in sg can claim warranty in Malaysia ?

Yes

Is it normal sometimes will seems hard to connect with windows?

Sometimes my mac also will like don't know im opening the airpod. But resolved with restart all my devices.

on my Mac instant connection once I ON bluetooth.

Most of the times yes, working perfectly.

Just sometimes..overall happy with it

Same

With android phone and windows it might be hard sometimes.

iOS is instant connection

uncle letting go brand new airpods 2th gen, checkout uncle siggy,

Why no send to Apple for warranty claim?

Just announced at Apple’s September Wanderlust event, the AirPods Pro 2 (2023) with USB-C charging became available on September 22, 2023. From this point on, they’ll be the only AirPods Pro 2 model on Apple store shelves.

That being said, they won't totally replace the older model everywhere all at once and, for a while, you’ll still see the older 2022 AirPods Pro with the Lightning charger on sale at your local electronics retailer.

With their window of availability quickly coming to a close, is it worth picking up the older AirPods Pro 2 before they disappear? And what if you have the older model and are thinking about upgrading — is that worth it?

We’re breaking down all the differences between the models, just in case you want to leave Lightning behind for the new-and-improved USB-C model.

Difference #1: The charging port and IP55 rating

The biggest and most obvious difference between the two models is the charging port. While this will make a difference on the amount of cords you’ll need to carry around with you, it actually doesn’t have any tangible impact on the battery performance of the earbuds — both ports offer fast-charging.

Apple does list an IP54 dust-proof rating on the newer AirPods Pro 2, but that's probably due to extended certification testing rather than a change in the design. Still, warranties being what they are, if you do plan on being around a lot of dust — maybe because you work in construction — then you should err on the side of caution and stick with the newer AirPods.

Difference #2: Lossless audio support (for Vision Pro)

The second advantage of opting for the newer AirPods Pro 2 model is that they come equipped with lossless audio support — albeit very limited lossless audio support.

For now, Apple says that the AirPods Pro 2’s lossless audio will only work with the Apple Vision Pro headset, due out sometime in the next six months or so. How, exactly, Apple’s new lossless audio protocol works is still a bit of black box, but from what we can tell it requires that both devices have an H2 Wireless Chip and the software for the protocol.

While having the ability to play lossless audio is a huge boon for the new AirPods — and one of the best reasons to opt for them instead of their predecessors — the fact that they’ll only have lossless audio support when paired with the Vision Pro is a bit disappointing. Hopefully, one day in the near future, the iPhone or iPad will get the ability to play lossless audio with the new AirPods, but unfortunately Apple hasn’t said anything to that effect.

Difference #3: Acoustic architecture

Here's the real wildcard of the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C charging: Apparently, there's a difference in the acoustic architecture of the newer model.

How much of an impact that will have on your music remains to be seen. Our Audio Editor, Lee Dunkley, says that he noticed a small uptick in quality with the newer AirPods Pro 2 model, but he admits that could be the power of suggestion.

If you fancy yourself an audiophile and notice little intricacies in your music, it might behoove you to go for the newer model in case there's really something to the new acoustic architecture. If you can't tell your MP3s from your FLACs, however, then there's probably not enough a difference between the models to make a difference.

Difference #4: Price
Depending on where you shop for electronics, you might see that the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Case (USB‑C) costs more than the older AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) — the former will set you back $249 while the latter will cost $199.

Saving $50 is nothing to sneeze at and that gap could widen even further if retailers with extra stock of the older model decide to put them on clearance. That's a distinct possibility and could be worth looking out for come Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Some retailers like Best Buy, however, make no price distinction between the two models and sell both for $199. So just be careful about where you shop.

New AirPods Pro 2 (2023) vs old AirPods Pro 2 (2022): What should you buy?
In short, there’s not a major difference between the two versions of the AirPods Pro 2. There are some, of course, but they’re limited in their practicality. If you plan on buying the Apple Vision Pro or feel like you have a good enough ear to tell the difference in sound quality, then the newer AirPods Pro 2 (2023) are the overall better choice.

However, if you can find them at a discounted price before they go out of stock, then the cheaper and equally impressive AirPods Pro with Lightning charging port offers 99% of the same experience at a lower price. For first-time AirPods owners, that’s the one to pick.

Now only I know my AirPods 3 (2021) charging case can be charge wirelessly, all the while been using lightning cable to charge after using more than 1 year.

My AirPod 3 just went out warranty giving me problem.

First is left unit not functioning
Now is connect and disconnect it own.

Should I go back Apple for repairing or
Any third party shop can recommend legit and pro or
Buy a new one?

I have the same issue. But my unit not covered by apple warranty anymore. Was yours fixed?

Got same issue. Looks like a problem for gen3

Guys did you have the solution for this? mine also the same, the left side having problem. Where can I repair it? and how much?

The mic on my right AirPods 3 started giving problem 2 or 3 months ago. Still working though with left mic.

Anyway bought AirPods Pro 2. Was hoping Pro 3 to be out by now but no such luck.
