No personal experience with any AirPod, but planning to get the new AirPods 4 ANC for my mother. Is opting for Apple Care+ worth the additional premium for Apple’s wireless earbuds? What benefits does one get? Anyone here has any experience with actually using Care+ on a defective/broken AirPod?

how much is it additional?
*
AirPods 4 ANC RM829
AppleCare+ RM129

Total = RM958

I know it’s for my mother who deserves what she wants, but as someone who always felt AirPods were overpriced, paying almost RM1k for basic open buds is a bit hard to stomach.

AirPods Pro 2 should be a better choice, with the new features such as hearing test, hearing aid & hearing protection. Should be perfect for your mom.
Wait for promo on shopee or lazada. I've got my AirPods pro 2 (usb-c) for around 850 previously during sales. You can add on the AppleCare even after you purchase the AirPods

Can we buy from a Shopee/Lazada seller and then apply for AC+ with Apple?

Sorry, last question. If I purchase AirPods from an authorized reseller like Machines via Shopee and then get AC+ via Apple Malaysia, can I walk into a Machines outlet to make AC+ claims if I run into any issues inside the 2yrs of coverage, or do I have to liase directly woth Apple?
