First post. Unless I'm missing something, I just stumbled across these for $279. Could try an OW price match?

edit: OW won't price match as the part number (MWP22ZAA) isn't clearly listed on the dicksmith website

Minchinbury officeworks have 10 in stock and happy to price match $275.49 8/5/20 17:07pm

edit: To those saying "Thanks OP!", a HUGE thank you to this community that I have been a part of for about a decade! I am on ozbargain every day and I am SO happy that my first post made so many people happy! You guys are amazing.

edit: I called the store I got the price match from (Minchinbury). They said there has been no "flagging from head office" or angry recourse from management but the price has been changed on DS and so no more matches. She was happy to do it. Im happy for everyone who was able to get one (or two!). 8/5/20 18:33pm

    reckon someone screwed up and it was supposed to be 379.

    • evatron on 08/05/2020 - 17:22

      Poor OW, U have to do it again.

    • McManly on 08/05/2020 - 23:45

      Yup - just got an email from the Dick letting me know that it was a price error and, as per their Terms of Service, they have cancelled my order.

  • dmbminaret on 08/05/2020 - 16:05

    You would need to add in the postage for the price match.

    • TheNewBargainer on 08/05/2020 - 16:13

    Don't forget to factor in delivery cost too (even price beating with OW)

  • osuv on 08/05/2020 - 16:08

    Shipping to my address (2296) was only $11.99 (so total $276.45 price beat with OW). Suspect as above this is a price error.

    If you're chasing these, get to Officeworks now and price match - this is a bargain.

  • sol95 on 08/05/2020 - 16:09

    great price! Probably a pricing error, so I'd hot-foot it to OW if you want in at this price.

    it is cheap, I got my pair for $349 from costco 2 weeks age

    • ZiyiW on 08/05/2020 - 16:40

      Got them at Costco two weeks ago too. Might grab another one though.

    As others have noted, i think this is def a price error and its meant to be $379 - get in quick with the price matches!

    Thanks. Ordered. Already got one, but this is Ozb. i'l think later.

      Does it matter ? They only have a 12 months warranty here anyway.

    insane price, get in at OW while you can

  • BrokeB-tch on 08/05/2020 - 16:12

    Anyone tried OfficeWorks price match? Have OfficeWorks refused price matches before on the grounds there is no money in it for them?

    • TightTerry on 08/05/2020 - 16:17

      YEp, they will generally refuse in situations like this, as it might drop below their purchase price and they would actually lose money.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2020 - 16:18

        I think depends whos price matching it? I've had price matches where the manager doesn't even bother to check (airpods)

        • TightTerry on 08/05/2020 - 16:35

          well of course, its all subjective depending on the person you get

    • turkz1 on 08/05/2020 - 16:17

      Officeworks just refused over the phone as DS has two airpods pro listings for different prices.

    • dmbminaret on 08/05/2020 - 16:18

      Nope. They will do it unless grey import. Has to be indentical product. Warranty, everything. A long as seller has ABN they will do it.

    • TheNewBargainer on 08/05/2020 - 16:20

      I just called, they are refusing to price match, as the listing on Dicksmith doesnt have the part number listed (MWP22ZAA).

      I tried to add this information to the post description but it wont let me

        the part number isn't list on the Apple website either on the product page so WTF is up with OW?

      • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2020 - 16:29

        Might have luck in store though

      • Could Be Better on 08/05/2020 - 16:30

        That's kind of bull tbh to refuse a price match because a part number isn't listed, especially when there's only one model of Airpods Pro. Plus OW is accepting grey import price matching anyway, so part numbers shouldn't even be necessary.

        • TightTerry on 08/05/2020 - 16:36
          -1

          Its a price error, so no, its not bull.

            @TightTerry: Got price matched at OW, so not a price error. The price isn't price-error level anyway.

      • Oauiii on 08/05/2020 - 16:39

        Got the same reply.

        KHAIRPODSPRO - on DickSmith
        APAIRPDPRO - on OfficeWorks

  • ozyhsk on 08/05/2020 - 16:15

    that's insane price

    but not sure apple will provide warranty as this is surely gray stack

    also officeworks will not price match Kogan

      "Officeworks has decided that it will now be accepting Price-beats from stores with greystock, while previously it was only stores with Australian manufacturing warranty. It seems the store still needs to have a . com.au URL but we can now Price-beat with Dwi Kogan Becextech ect"

        • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2020 - 19:41

          I mean I just got it off google and it's on their website. From this thread and personal experience, it is possible. Doesn't that mean stores that don't adhere are just breaking their own policy? Or are you talking about Kogan specifically ?

          • AH on 08/05/2020 - 20:22

            @[Deactivated]: I tried finding it on their website to no avail. Could you chuck us a link as I feel that is outdated information.

                Grey import does not equal identical stock.

  • BennyHe2018 on 08/05/2020 - 16:22

    OW won't do the price beat anyway. Dick Smith may acknowledge that is a price error and refund later. Thought it was a great deal if can price matched though.

  • worryroots on 08/05/2020 - 16:24

    Should I buy one considering the ongoing ANC issues ?

    • Fredfloresjr on 08/05/2020 - 16:26

      keep thinking if I were you. By the time you decided its out of stock.

    • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 16:26

      Yes, because it is your money, not mine.

    • BennyHe2018 on 08/05/2020 - 16:26

      Paring it with an Android phone so that it won't update its firmware automatically:D

    • netsurfer on 08/05/2020 - 17:11

      A couple of OZBers have confirmed the ANC issue. Apparently, the latest firmware helps a bit, but still nowhere near as good as the original firmware.
      Original firmware, while have great ANC could cause nausea (which an OZBer also confirmed that's the case).

    • entropysbane on 08/05/2020 - 19:10

      Firmware update this week appears to hav fixed ANC issues some people were having on an earlier botched firmware release, improved base and improved transparency mode.

    Previous history of pricing error? Any bonus?

    Be careful if you are buying these based on reviews from release as apple pulled a bait and switch.

    The ANC was nerfed hard, apparently it made people dizy or disoriented , a very recent firmware update fixed it slightly but it's still nothing like all the reviews said it was on release.

    • Fredfloresjr on 08/05/2020 - 16:35

      nah, been using mine for 3 months now and no problems. The best on its class.

      • sol95 on 08/05/2020 - 16:39
        +5

        nah nah.
        if you've had yours for 3 months, then you never had the original firmware which had significantly better ANC

        even with the recently updated firmware, it's not best in class ANC. Best in class all up as a general comment if you use apple devices. But as far as ANC goes for in-ears, Sony WF-1000XM3 are the leaders

          • sol95 on 08/05/2020 - 16:41
            +3

            @Fredfloresjr: deaf to the truth? :P
            ironic considering we're talking about earphones

            btw, I had the Sony WF-1000XM3s for about 4 months to use on domestic flights, before getting the AirPods Pro when they were released last year around November. So I do know what I'm talking about from direct experience with both earphones. The AirPods Pro ANC were FANTASTIC when first released. At that point, I would agree they were best in class, even with ANC.

            But with the firmware update in December, the ANC was significantly crippled. The recent firmware update from a few days ago has made it slightly better. But nowhere near what it was like on first release.

        • cruiseronroad on 08/05/2020 - 17:55
          +2

          Had both the Sony's and AirPods Pro since their respective release, Sony earlier obviously. Sony WF ANC always been better than the pros, without a doubt. Better sound also.

          However the fit of the pros was much better for me & size of case and iOS / Mac OS integration haven't noticed any degradation in ANC personally, doesn't mean it hasn't degraded but the product hasn't stopped functioning like many on the net claim. The more you use ANC (WH, WF, any brand) the less spectacular it becomes and the more you notice its flaws anyway.

          • clx on 08/05/2020 - 18:44

            @cruiseronroad: I have both and found that the convenience of the smaller case with the Airpods Pro more practical. Also found the touch controls to be more useful.

    • sol95 on 08/05/2020 - 16:36

      yes if you're getting these at the RRP. But at the OZB price here, I think they're a no-brainer. The regular AirPods are around this price depending on the case you get.

  • WIND on 08/05/2020 - 16:33

    Please don't tell me this is a price error like the Good Guys did with the Nest Hub Max. 🤣
