Refurbished = a nicer name for a fake AirPods….

Serial number can input and same with the box, only thing it can’t follow maybe is when there is a future firmware update, a fake will stays in the same firmware and unable to update….

And of course no warranty claim at apple authorised reseller shop…

- inferior sound….

Is the refurbished selling from around 250 to 380 in Caurosell?

Yes I'm looking at the RM380 ones. These are fake yeah? Thanks for the heads up! Almost pulled the trigger

I tried my colleagues Airpods Pro 2nd Gen and I didn't think there's going to be a difference with my 1st gens. Boy, was I wrong biggrin.gif

your 1st gen pro still okay? how many years/months already?

Still okay actually, bought it 2020 for MCO. I haven't sent it for that recall thing. Now I'm using mostly during work.

agree with you on the fake AirPods, these days replica can be almost 99.9% as good as authentic, besides the quality and firmware updates.

airpod is probably an item I'll buy from official resellers or apple.com, dont even dare to buy used ones...not worth taking the risk.

Well noted. I’ll wait for deal on the authentic ones.

Just got mine delivered from Machines via Ninja.

Colour me impressed. It is obviously better than the Airpods Pro especially with bass. What I’m more surprised is, how similar it is to the Airpods Max. I expected the Max to sound much beefier because, well, its a headset.

Anyway, mine is a Vietnamese unit.

Any issues with your warranty?

Mine’s legit apparently (serial number exists in their system), scheduled a support call for tomorrow to fix the warranty.

Anyway, the quick volume is not slider? Thought it was slider all these while. Haha.

The one I got from Machines is ok, warranty is up until June next year. Not sure about the refurbished one, anyone else here tried? Apparently firmware can’t be updated.

Is it just me or it’s not always seamless connection?

E.g when I’m watching some stories, sometimes it still plays from speaker. Had to restart Bluetooth to take effect.

Happened a few times already. On iPhone 11pm.

Its not just you, my Airpods Pro 1 is more seamless going from devices. In fact, my work Mac sometimes have bluetooth issues when connecting. I love my Airpods Pro 2 for the sound, but its not as convenient switching devices anymore
