It’s stated here la in their website… I chose Grade C (lowest grade) for Rm420. If it’s higher then bonus. I think they gonna revise prices soon.

Yeah, will revise soon. Anyway, I don't think I will sell it away, better give it to one of my older sisters.

Check the availability daily on the Apple Store app, and you might get one to pick up from TRX on the same day.
Try checking it in the morning.

Just bought the AirPods Pro 3 via walk-in to Apple Store TRX. rclxm9.gif

Stock just arrived but very limited, and wasn’t updated to Apple Store Online yet at time of my purchase. 😁

Just tried both Pro 2 and Pro 3 side by side

Things better in Pro 3
- bass is stronger
- soundstage is wider
- ANC quite a bit better
- the seal is also better

Things better in Pro 2
- vocals sounds slightly clearer
- the case is denser and feels more solid. The new one feels a bit cheap 😅

QUOTE(shockk @ Oct 15 2025, 05:20 PM)
Haha for sure. But from 2 to 3, probably not so much. Just more prominent ‘V Curve’, meaning enhanced bass and highs, but sacrificing the mid range (vocal clarity) 😌
*
I need vocal clarity and I listen to pop too most of the time.
I guess I will stick to my Pro 2. Money saved again. icon_rolleyes.gif

Ok. Tonight had some time to kill and I just unboxed and tested the AirPods Pro 3. ☺️

First impression immediately disappointed with the subdued vocals. Bass seems overloaded now, in a not so good way. May need to do further tweaking in the equalizer. But a bit sad as my AirPods Pro 2 sounded ‘perfect’ out of the box when I first bought it 2 years+ ago. 😶‍🌫️

But I have to say the ANC is much better, with the foam seals and also the sound feels ‘larger’ now, closer to how larger headphones are on you instead of earbuds. ☺️

QUOTE(Stitchie @ Oct 15 2025, 10:13 PM)
Yeah honestly pro 2 still really good. I only upgrade because I want better anc and battery lol
*
Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I won't be upgrading unless I score a good deal next time like what happened to my Pro 1 and Pro 2. tongue.gif

Dilemma, if the APP2 has a good deal like <RM700, I wonder if should get that instead. hmm.gif
*
Of course no. APP3 is the right choice but if not urgent to get then wait for online sales. Tons of vouchers to use by then.

Sounds like you are geared up to buy app3 also when sales happen.  whistling.gif

I placed order with Apple Flagship Store, they assigned NinjaVan, supposed to get 14th, delayed to 16th and NinjaVan reschedule to 17th. Sigh…

Got a decent deal with using coins and get like 17k coins.

If it’s a good deal, why not? laugh.gif

Finally NinjaVan delivered at 6pm, out for delivery from morning. Now I know how fruitie felt for iPhone launch day.

But here’s the case. I forgot app2 box had cable inside. Hahah.

The sound is balanced not bass heavy or vocals is drowned. Maybe it’s recent firmware update? Or I’m just bias and can’t listen?

Andrewtst did u get yours and do u also cover air pods pro cases? 😉

Yes, but I should feel worse than you as it was the day 1 of iPhone 17!

Already feel bad. Supposed to be 14/15th.. got pushed to end October. Then suddenly out for delivery and delayed another day. Hot cold hot cold.
fruitie help me with this maths with your expertise.

RM999 + 17k Shopee coins - trade in CEX grade B, RM465, which I paid RM534.

If deduct rm170 (Shopee coins), RM364.

I used app2 since 2022. 3 years. Next app4 probably 2028. It’s like rm100 a year until the next app4.

One year rm364/12 months, RM30 a month. Rm1 a day.

Summary: Bila beli?

laugh.gif Not too bad for the trade-in price. tongue.gif
So you brought in everything right?

Yup, brought everything — cable, ear tips, box. As expected, CEX lowballed a bit, but I was ready for Grade C and got Grade B, so I’m happy since used for three years. RM425 without box isn’t bad.

Most places don’t take them — Apple TRX only accepts devices with screens, Machines didn’t either. Private sale (Carousell, etc.) might get more.

Tip if u wanna trade in CEX: after removing from Find My, tell them to hold the back button till the light changes to reset before they pair it. They didn’t know at first — took an extra 20 mins until I mentioned it cause the this airpods belongs to owner keeps popping up.

Anyway… don’t change the topic 😆 How’s my math and “ultimate question” answer? Also, staff said CEX may revise trade-in prices soon since many are selling — not sure how true that is.

Got it. Let me check it out when I’m free. These few days I’m so busy with my meet-ups with friends. I need to sell off my APP2 first before buying APP3.

I will purchase APP3 with the gift card I have earlier. Too bad, I don’t feel like going out tomorrow so I won’t pick it up from TRX. Will order online then after tomorrow.

I got my APP2 in April 2024 at RM 828. So, I lost RM 288 in 18 months. Not too bad. tongue.gif

I checked Apple Store app and it shows pick up only in Nov, does that mean there is no ready stock in TRX? Will everyone know? I don’t want to travel there for nothing. laugh.gif

They nitpick a lot so manage your expectations accordingly.

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Oct 20 2025, 09:28 AM)
Not bad, u got grade A.

Can just walk in... Check apple store at 11am or so later. First saw pick up in Nov, but walk in actually got stock. Really weird Apple inventory lately.
*
Yeah, lucky that I got grade A. biggrin.gif But mine was really in good condition and full set everything which the accessories were not used.

Still showing Nov. hmm.gif

QUOTE(potatoes @ Oct 20 2025, 11:00 AM)
I tried my luck last Friday, drop by at TRX, walked in and grab a staff that’s not serving any customer, he said yes fresh stock arrived, no time to even put on the shelf.

If you are not in Seremban then can go try your luck yo.

Yes, I’m in KL now. Let me consider. tongue.gif
