AirPods (3rd generation) Feedback

Those stores are insane.

My travel charger broke and i wanted to buy one there. Its supposed to be duty-free and i'm telling you I can order one on Amazon, AND pay shipping and VAT/duty and still save money.

Their mark-up is eye-watering.

Never buy from duty free shops if you're looking to save money.

The annoying part is, "duty-free" is supposed to imply that the product should always be cheaper than retail because you're not being charged duty (and they didn't pay duty for that import). But yeah...
 
I bought some Beats Fit Pro for gym use. These are quite a bit better than the AirPods 3 imo. The fit is amazing, better audio quality, the mic is about the same and there is no chance of them falling out. A real bummer they don't have wireless charging. I definitely recommend these over the AirPods 3.

How is the setup with an iPhone, ease of use etc compared with the AirPods? And do you perhaps know if they work with an Apple Watch? (sorry, haven't had time to google it yet)

I see it has the same H1 chip as the Gen 2 & 3 and the Pro so should be easy peasy.

MSRP is 199 USD so price wise it slots in above the Gen 3 & below the Pro.

Interesting...is this because Apple owns Beats, I wonder?

I see Incredible Corruption is having them on special for R3,199 which would make them cheaper than Gen 3 at the moment
