I was using AirPods Pro 1 and replaced it with Pro 2 about 3 months ago. Didn’t regret because I have been a Pro version fan. I replaced it also because one side of the buds had noises but I used it for 3 years plus already, so I guess it’s worth.

Hi guys, I have this issue not sure anyone can advise me.

I get my AirPods Pro for my sister birthday on 18th Aug 2024 via a gadget shop in PJ during their warehouse sales.

3 weeks later, my sister told me the AirPods casing cannot hold charge.

Hence, i go check with Apple TRX and apple said the unit already out of warranty. I said impossible since i just get it 3 weeks ago.
According to Apple database, the unit sales date was Sept 2022 and via a shop in singapore.

Then I go back to the gadget shop, the shop already closed for good (all branches also close down)
In this situation, is there nothing else I can do?
*
Looks like nothing can be done… That’s rather unfortunate and I wonder how can it happen? Was it sealed when you got it?

Yup, the unit was sealed. Brand new, until my sister refer the unit serial number at Apple site and discovered it is out of coverage.
Go back to the shop , the shop said warranty only cover for 14 days due to their promotion item.
I said how this can be. Hence, I file a dispute to consumer rights.
After follow all the process , the shop no longer operate  doh.gif

I have a feeling it’s a fake unit and comes with an original serial no. It’s a common modus operandi for counterfeit items. They only need to buy one original unit to get the serial no. and print the serial no. onto all of their fake devices. Does it have SIRIM sticker etc.?

How much did you get it for? The sticker should be on the box I think, I cannot recall mine because the box is not with me now.

I got it for rm499 from mobile chain called Mobile 2Go.
It seems the chain already no more sad.gif

Website (fb & insta) gone
Shop all closed down

As far as I can recall. Nope , don't have sirim sticker.

That’s cheap for version 2, so that’s already a warning. I have heard of this shop before, bought a phone from them in the past, it was quite good. Didn’t know they are gone now.

Oh what a bummer. That’s quite expensive for v1 considering can get 8xx for v2. Sorry for your encounter but I guess really nothing much can be done now. sad.gif

Normally found it from facebook market place, ads , telling original and selling in cheap price, they also can send to you via carrier for COD, you can open and check the item
*
Don’t waste your time on those ads, mostly scams and counterfeit products. Go to Lazada, Shopee or TikTok shop on double digit sales or pay day sales, you can get authentic products at much discounted prices from the Apple resellers like Machines, TTM, Switch etc.

Hmm. I bought mine for RM 823 a year ago, now it’s also 7xx here locally during sales. Better buy from online platforms like Shopee, Lazada or TikTok shop. I got mine from TMT Shopee.

Hwy guys

My Bose earphones just recently died

So I thought of getting an AirPod pro 2, the funny thing is that in Carousell people are selling it used as cheap as RM3xx

If the serial number checks out with the airpod

There’s nothing I should be worried about am I right?
*
Nope, you should be worried. They could use one authentic serial number for all of their counterfeit AirPods.

Anyway, I just read again it’s used so I can’t comment much but if it’s new, then should be worried. However, new ones are so cheap from those official stores from online platforms during double digit sales or pay day sales, just get one from them for the peace of mind.

Thanks Fruitie!

So the best way forward is to pair the earphones first and see if both serial number tally?

There are brand new ones going for RM5xx as well and sealed
*
My suggestion is if too cheap and coming from non-authorized sellers then skip them.

Looks nice if it’s true. Too bad cannot trade in old AirPods for the new AirPods. laugh.gif Having said so these days I listen to my music using my Ray-Ban Meta as it’s more convenient and easier for me. So my AirPods Pro 2 is rather underutilized.

Ahh thanks so much..

Anyhow i bought one at RM500 but manatau it was a fake, so returned it and the seller accepted..

Anyway best way to tell from the fake i guess is that malaysia's packaging is very different than the ones all shown in carousell..

I was crazy that the fakes could connect to iphone seamlessly as well
*
Yes, fake ones can work seamlessly. Glad that you got it returned. Maybe you can wait for the new AirPods Pro or just grab the AirPods Pro 2 during sales on online platforms.

Yeah got the AirPods Pro 2 from Senheng at around 6xx 😅

The only reason why I’m changing to AirPod is that I saw in the future that we might have live translation and I’m quite looking in to it but also at the same time don’t want to spend too much money as I have a kid now🤣

How times have changed , my previous buds were Bose qc2 and sennheiser true momentum

RM 6xx is pretty a good deal. At least you have a peace of mind. laugh.gif
