AirPods 2 or Powerbeats Pro?

[Jedwardoo]

Has anyone seen an update on pre-order availability?

I'm not sure what you mean, if by update like any changes then no. That's the latest info out there, May 3 @ 7:00 AM PST (California Time).

Not clear what you mean by this.

I'm on the same boat.

My brain must have been jumping ahead a day. I kept thinking today was May 3rd, and therefore they should have been up for pre-order.

Can't wait to preorder! Been waiting for these since they were announced!

Expected to order at 0800 UK time, but alas!

Ordered! Got a May 14-21 delivery date.

Pre-ordered, delivered May 14-21. Now time to get ready for my wedding today.

It would appear to be a North American launch... no sign in the UK

Same. Was hoping for on 5/10

 

[clerkpalmer]

I got same dates. I thought these were supposed to be available on 5/10.

I think Apple said 5/13 was for USA only.

It’s alright, Tim is a supply chai....oh.

Still time yet, I’ll keep trying a bit longer.

I wonder if I should order mine today or just wait until Friday when they’re in stores.

I ordered on Apple's site and paid $8 to have express shipping. Quoted a shipping date of May 13 - 20th. Was under the impression it would arrive on the 10th. Perhaps that is in-store only purchases on the 10th.

Oh well. Hopefully I'll get them closer to the 13th than 20th.

I would order online today. And then if you can get them in-store on Friday go ahead and do so, and then cancel the online order or just return it.

One thing I'm worried about is comfort. Do you think the over the ear thingy will hurt or be uncomfortable?
?

 

[victry1]

You can preorder today. Mine shows an arrival date between 5/13 and 5/20. Hoping they show earlier.

 

[Boardiesboi]

No preorders available in Australia.

Booooo

 

[dgreening]

Ordered mine this morning with same delivery dates as everyone else.

 

[ChrisTX]

I just ordered the black Power Beats PRO. Shipping estimate is 1-2 weeks. Hope the shipping time improves as they will be available for in store purchase next Friday lol.

I've used the Powerbeats3's for 15 months now. The ear hooks do not bother me one bit.

Bah, UK’s a bust for a while longer it seems.

Pity, I like my AirPods, they fit me perfectly and I love them in quiet environments for calls and podcasts, but they’re utterly useless at the gym with zero noise isolation. I’m not prepared to use them at max volume either, that’s categorically a very bad idea.

Back to my PB3’s for a bit. I’m not sulking, no no honestly guv ;_;

Either they have low stock or demand is very high. Delivery dates have already been pushed forward significantly now.

 

[Boardiesboi]

They just updated the availability outside of US/Canada on the Beats website, eg. Australia and HK.

They're only available in June.

Can confirm, my pickup date is June 5th
