Make sure you purchase just the headphones and not the "fantastic" AppleCare + bundle. These are still $200 on Amazon (Costco as well for those that have one nearby and want extra warranty and return policy from Costco).
Somehow the bundle on Amazon with AppleCare + is $278 which is hilarious because AppleCare + is the next recommended item right below the headphones, for the regular $29.
Any opinions on these vs. beats fit pro? I won a pair of these at a work Christmas party yesterday, but have a coupon for a free pair of Beats Fit Pros coming in about a month from Verizon.
Upgrading from the original AirPods. Trying to decide which pair to keep and which to sell.
Just got these to replace my original Pro headphones, HUGE upgrade, no more people complaining they cant hear me or it is echo-y
I bought these a few weeks back and I noticed people could hear me again. I thought apple had actually fixed it. Unfortunately after 2 weeks or so, they sounded worse to the caller than ever.
I'm not sure what happened, but it went from great to just horrible.
"AppleCare+ for Headphones extends your coverage to two years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection, each subject to a service fee of $29 plus applicable tax. In addition, you'll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone. Learn more
Max quantity allowed on any Apple product that is purchased with AppleCare+ is 1 quantity per order."
Do not get the AppleCare, this will make Costco push the return to Apple instead of Costco. You do not need the credit card for this purchase for an extended warranty, Apple headphones do not fall under the 90 day returns, you can return them if you ever have any issues.

Anyone know why the microphone quality f'n sucks. ? pretty much across all the expensive earbuds.
It's difficult and expensive to create a quality mic thats the size of a tip of a ballpoint pen. That said, the mic on these is pretty great. Watch youtube examples.

This advice is solid. Had mine for a year and had a problem with NC on the right earbud. Costco took them back with zero issues. They did make sure to match the serial numbers for both earbuds which was interesting. Obviously I used the money to pick up this deal, and as mentioned it turned out to be a big upgrade. NC is much better and spacial audio on these is just crazy good!
If you buy these at Costco... What's the point of apple care? Just return it to Costco if there is an issue within the 2 years that apple care would matter

Yup, I did the same thing. I have had headphone issues with gen 1 and returned them. I've also had multiple elite Xbox controllers break after a year or two and returned them with zero hassles. And yes, every purchase has been verified by serial number. If you do not have the exact item, they will not accept the return. Just don't abuse it or eventually you will ruin it

Yep. I worry about posting Costco return policy stuff on SD because some might abuse it, but hopefully the majority here get it,.
