Received a $31.80 store credit from asking if they sold a-series replacement cases a few weeks ago - Unfortunately/fortunately they don't.

Might be interesting to some people.

I accidentally had a replacement a-series in my cart and didn't pay attention before ordering, spoke to their text chat after cancelling to enquire if the credit would be returned and was given $45 additional store credit because of the 5 minute wait I had to endure so worth a shot at least asking them something if you're interested in anything in the Google store you might get lucky too!

PSA: if you have just recently bought this at full price at Google store you can possibly double dip their price matching policy: one against JB (or other approved store) and one against their own store. But it'll be in form of Google store credit.

Did this with my P7Pro last year for around $1k worth of Google credit.
- dealsgrabber on 15/12/2023 - 23:51
  
  Can you please explain how and what do you mean by double dipping and how did you manage to get the $1k credit?

    Tbh the stars were lined up for me when I bought my P7P.
    
    1) Last year for black friday Google store had $400 store credit but still sold P7P with full price.
    
    2) With Google one subscription (https://one.google.com/about/plans) you can get 10% store credit back ($145).
    
    Google has both price protection and price match policy: https://support.google.com/store/answer/9631873?hl=en. This post explains further: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/738690
    
    3) Price protection: If you bought an item from the Google Store that decreased in price within the standard return period, you may get a partial refund to match the lower price. Since I bought during black friday, the return policy ended in Jan 23 and during Christmas Google store had $250 discount on P7P.
    
    4) Price match: After you make your Google Store order, if you find a better price at a qualified retailer within the standard return period, you'll be refunded the difference. Right after my order I just price match with OW - another $250.
    
    So in total I got back $400 + $145 + $250 + $250 = $1045 in store credit which funded my Pixel Watch, Buds Pro and Nest doorbell with a change since I did price match/protection for every single one of these purchases.

    Maybe he hasn't used your old QC35s for comparison
  - Sherro on 15/12/2023 - 23:45
    
    I've had a pair of QC35's now for years. I love them, they're super comfy and you can replace the cups when they eventually get grubby.
    
    That said, I work from home now and traveling to work with a bag doesn't happen. Earbuds are great for just chucking on and going for a walk up the road, slipping them into my pocket when I don't need them.
    
    Apples to oranges.
- ReqelinOz on 15/12/2023 - 21:57
  
  Noise cancelling is average at best. My $70 pair of Soundpeats T2, and my Sony WF-1000XM3 have better ANC.
  
  However, as I have a Pixel phone, the Pixel buds Pro are tightly integrated into the ecosystem, providing a much, much better experience than either the T2 or XM3.
  
  I'm just really salty I lost my charging case, and then Google refused to sell me a replacement charging case. Their response was buy another set champ.
  
  Rocking a pair of XM3's now, and they are bulkier, the charging case is the size of Madagascar, and they do not have Bluetooth Multipoint. $100 and it will do for the next 12 months or so.
burns13 on 15/12/2023 - 19:53

They are great buds (price too) but I've lost two pairs due to the case opening too easily for my level of care. 🤦‍♂️

- ReqelinOz on 15/12/2023 - 22:02

  As above, I had a pair of Pixel Buds Pro until I lost the charging case.
  
  In short, XM3's
  
  have better ANC
  
  have a significantly bulkier case
  
  are slightly larger than the pixel buds pro
  
  battery life is similar
  
  sound quality is similar
  
  google assistant is less slick
  
  I find they stick in my ear a bit better.
  
  have the ability to apply an EQ in the app
  
  The pixel buds pro
  
  are better integrated into android, especially if you have a pixel device
  
  have a significantly smaller case
  
  are slightly smaller than the XM'3. I would struggle to pull them out of the case sometimes.
  
  have average ANC
  
  have the ability to find lost earbuds
  
  have the ability to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at once, and they work seamlessly (much better than Bose's QC35ii's implementation)
  
  If you have a pixel phone, and are in the market for earbuds, get these. They are good value to $170. I wouldn't pay $299, but considering my old pair of Soundpeats T2's cost $80, and the pair of XM3's cost me $100 (seconds), they are well priced.

        @ReqelinOz: I have a pair of galaxy buds that I am using with a Pixel 7 and I can't fault them (from an integration perspective).
        
        Not sure how it is possible to be better integrated. They connect insanely fast - by the time I get them in my ears they are ready and all features / settings from the app work fine (and are mostly set and forget). Am I missing anything?

      what's the issue with Samsung devices?
  - PR0r on 15/12/2023 - 22:07
    
    Thanks for the detailed comparison. I purchased refurbished XM3's for my wife for Christmas, they were ~$100, from a deal recently. We both have Pixel 7 Pro's so this is quite attractive, if they are indeed as good. Thankfully, I'm within the return window so might buy these instead.
    - ReqelinOz on 15/12/2023 - 22:09
      
      I bought the same XM3's off eBay when I lost my pixel buds case.
      
      Unfortunately, I've worn my XM3's so I can't return them. Otherwise I would and I'd grab these.

I had these and thought i lost them so replaced them with Soundcore Space A40 when they were on sale for $90.
Now that ive found them, I barely use them as much as my A40s - 2x the battery life of the Pixel buds, better noise cancellation, better fit (at least for me) and the sound quality is on par.
Looking on the Soundcore site theyre actually $30 off now down to $100, would definitely recommend those over these in my opinion.

  Wireless charging caase too?
  - Kermitanz on 15/12/2023 - 23:37
    
    No just USB C charging on mine, but the battery life has been exceptional I use mine daily with ANC on and have to charge the case maybe once a month.
    I also can't speak to mic quality but I've used both earbuds for phone calls and haven't gotten any complaints from either A40s or pixel buds.

  This! I bought these about 6 months ago, but actually just stopped using them due to fit issues, and them turning off every time I went to fit them back in my ears. Looked at some reviews and bought the SoundCore Space ones and they're so much better for me. Glad I'm not the only person who has found this.
  I still prefer my Jabra 85t overall for in-ears, but using the SoundCore ones daily now as my partner is using my old Jabras. The batteries last for ages, only charged them a couple of times in the few months I've had them.

krammis76 on 16/12/2023 - 09:52

Got these at launch. Wanted to love them. They sounded good and the features and tech was awesome. But could not ever get a good fit in my ears. And by that I mean a consistent fit. I could put them in my ears in the morning and go for a walk and they'd be perfect. I'd take them out to have some food or do something. Go to put them back in and they'd just constantly fall out. It was beyond frustrating.

  Depends on if you've got a student beans code which brings it to $149.10. It's been $149 at Telstra, $150 at Optus. $179 was Black Friday price.
  
  My advice price match at JB (from OW $178), use Perks + GC. If you can use Perks + 10% off GC it's $151.20 which is basically the all time low.

        @Roe Jogan: Lol idk what you're trying to prove here, Samsung and Apple are phone brands so why would you want another phone brand earbuds? They're literally made for their phones. The whole point of buying them is they mesh well with their brand, otherwise there's better value elsewhere.
        
        There also should be a good enough battery life you don't need to switch mid-movie unless they're really old or you consistently forget to charge them.

        thats incorrect about movies, at one go they dont last more than 2-3 hours
        
        2 hours battery life is atrocious and I would expect anything over $30 to have more. Regardless, you do realise headphones only play audio right? Whether it's a movie, podcast, audiobook or song it's all audio.
        
        Samsungs only have hi-res audio with Samsung devices.. otherwise you're overpaying for average quality. Then again though Beats Pro are an overhyped range of over-ear headphones that you use for physical activities so at least some consistency. (And if you mean powerbeats then LOL you could've got XM5s for that price which would've been good for basically everything).
