DHgate sells chinese import junk. Any $44 Airpods are going to be 1st gen or fake.

if you can take advantage of certain groceries and household essentials definitely
our household also exclusively buys our tires and batteries there
some of their food, meats etc are top quality as well
·
Believe this is the lowest price ever. Have these. Sound quality is much improved compared to AirPods 2. Fit is subjective, but I still prefer AirPods2 fit (and don't like AirPods Pro in-ear tips)

Quote from harisshaukat1990 :
Costco gas is more expensive than Sam's
Costco is on my way home from work and just 2 lights from the freeway exit. Easy on and off. It is a Business Costco too; so the gas line is usually shorter. But when I get gas at 6am, there is virtually no wait.
Sam's is 3% cheaper than the Costco I go to. But the nearest Sam's Club from me is about 25 min from my house and along my route home. So the detour time is not worth it.

Been a Costco member for a very long time. For me, membership fees pay for themselves as you shop:

If you ever used Costco travel - I have not found a better deal on a comparable package being offered elsewhere.

Costco tires and battery prices are great

A very generous return policy.

The list goes on and on but you get the idea.

You can split the membership with someone else. I don't think it has to be family? You can add a user.

Sound wise better than AirPods 2 but fit is terrible for a lot of folks including me. Doesn't fit well and keeps slipping out. Hurts ears after a while. Neither pros nor gen 2 has this issue. Pros also have vastly better NC. Recommend getting gen 2 or pros.

The first part about DHgate is true, but for $30-40 you can get near-perfect replicas of gen 2 airpods if you know where to look. Look into the airreps reddit page for anyone interested.

Just switched to a 13pro after being on Android for 10 years. I got my gen 3s delivered from amazon today and they're going back. They've got some cool integrations with iOS but the fit is weird and you can get better sounding earphones for $180. Also, whose idea was it to have the tap controls confined to that little touch pad on the side of the stem on this version? Makes no sense to me...

I'm going to return and try the pros. If those don't work then I'll look at Jabra/Sony/Bose.

Be aware of buying Apple products! Apple support will suck your blood till you die. I learned a big lesson.

Man, I've been considering a Costco membership for just these kinds of deals. Is it worth it?

I have fluctuating hearing loss that requires frequent hearing tests.

I got my hearing aids from Costco, which are 1/3 the price of comparable ones from a doctor's office. and they offer basically unlimited hearing exams, and there no co-pays or anything. It's all included in your membership fee.

They also have very good, inexpensive liquor too.

Quote from Nautian :
This is a more reasonable price, above $150 you might as well get the pros on sale.
The pros were on sale for $189 but I got the Airpod 3s for $169 because of the longer battery life. I use them for virtual work meetings and need longer battery life.
I did debate back and forth between the two though.
Now I need to go back for a price match as I just bought them two days ago.

Don't buy the AppleCare for these if you buy them from Costco. Costco allows for return of these at ANY POINT. They fall outside the 90-day electronics category.

I really want these but I'm worried they will be too big for my ears. I've used airpods for about 3 years because they are hands down the most comfortable wireless earbuds for my ears. I don't like silicone tips down in my ear canal and my ears were too small for the samsung galaxy buds. I'm pretty sure these 3rd gen are larger than the 1st and 2nd gen. Anyone have experience? Know of a place where I can try these on?

I use Galaxy Buds Plus for all my work meetings, not as great call quality as my AirPods but can't beat 11 hours of battery.

This is actually the price Costco ran for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and after Christmas.
