So no one knows if SF stores still have any? Tempted to check after work but also dont want to waste my time if anyone knows. =)
I agree completely. This morning with Apple was a total let down. I am so excited Best Buy came through! Mine show arriving tomorrow preparing right now.Got mine on Best Buy's website about an hour ago!!! Free 2-day shipping arriving Thursday. So freaking stoked to have these for Christmas! After the Bs morning I had at the Apple stores this was a much needed pick me up!
Count me in for a pair from Best Buy due here on the 21st (had to pay a whole 5 bucks extra to get on wednesday).
Thanks markemery!
I gave 'em 20... when I'm frustrated I spend.Damn, they wanted 11 bucks from me. Was going to wait for the 29th, can wait till the 22nd.
but what about pulling on then pulling off coat hoods? If someone who has them can give this a try, I'd be grateful.
You didn't read the fine print. They are NOT in stock at Best Buy. They will ship in February if you buy them from Best Buy.
Same here. Tried early too and still showed February.Nope still showing February for me![]()
Sorry didn't know waiting was such a huge issue. Are lives that much impacted by waiting on a gift?!?
NOt true...
Yes, I'm having the same problem. Wish we didn't have to use Siri to control...well, everything.To the people that actually own these, are you having a hard time getting your AirPods to recognize your double tap?

I find myself wondering that often when I browse these threads.
I don't get the AirPod hate. They don't appeal so some groups, but that doesn't mean it's a poor product. They are what they are and obviously many people (myself included) want them.
#1. Workday? So what are you doing during this "workday"? Oh, yeah... posting on Macrumors. Hard work, EH?
#2. Orders quickly slipped past today. yes, ordering is generally the easiest way -- but not everyone WANTS to do it that way. Why should people have to purchase things the same way YOU would?
#3. Uh, did you miss the article a few stories down with a picture of people lined up IN THE U.K.? I find it funny you specifically called out "North Americans" but missed that they were doing the same in the U.K. too...
I'm starting to think there's some "Stupidity" happening here... blind to irony, blind to typical Apple online ordering shortages, blind to the U.K. article posted just a bit ago with the same thing going on.
Get back to work.... while you still have a job.
hilarious that people line up to throw $150 away when you can right now buy a better pair of bluetooth headphones for $15 on amazon
I'm sorry... my post came off as "oh, it's about what I am doing..." I do like the Victoria's Secret 50% sales, and the girls in there think it's funny when I ask to see their bras half off. I guess it's in the delivery...Thanks for letting us all know. Thousands of purchase decisions were hanging in the balance waiting for you to explain why you're not getting them and why you're surprised people are lining up for them.
Are you surprised people line up for bra sales at Victoria's Secret? They're not for you, so surely it's got to come as a major shock.
I definitely don't want to wear these while riding my bike... one of these pops off, and I'm looking for them on the side of the road.Yep wanna get my phone out while riding my bike...or jogging trying to get ID touch to recognise me.....or panting at Siri...
What I don't understand is that Apple's pack-in earbuds have been almost universally dismissed for years.
In the early days if the iPod, and maybe for the iPhone 2G and 3G, NYC subways were a sea of white cord commuters.
But the smart phone market quickly gave rise to a burgeoning headphone market, and earbuds and full headphones of all shapes, sizes, and colors overtook the white cords. This was probably partly backlash to the homogenization effect, but it was also about people seeking better sound quality and more personalized comfort than Apple could offer with cheap buds.
But now people are lining up for them because they're wireless?
I predict AirPods will go the way of Apple's short lived Bluetooth headset and balanced armature earbuds. That is to say, discontinued sooner than later and destined for the discount bin, then the collector's shelf.
How do you know you haven't used the product? Stop guessing.Nothing!
It handles the bass just fine. You just need to use them.How is it not true? There's no mechanism to seal in sound to trap in the bass...
You have to understand how terrible wireless earbuds are to truly get it.What I don't understand is that Apple's pack-in earbuds have been almost universally dismissed for years.

The subway cars became a showcase for every headphone imaginable BUT Apple's.

I can get it sometimes but I'm not sure exactly where to tap to get a consistent response.To the people that actually own these, are you having a hard time getting your AirPods to recognize your double tap?
What is there to be excited about? I don't get it.Nothing. If you are not excited about this product, it's not for you then.
Just asking a simple question. Maybe I do actually want them? Trying to figure out why so much hype and demand.Well, let me help explain something to you. What you want and feel about a product doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same way. Obviously you don't get it because you don't want it. But many others do. Try to think a little more globally.
You are correct. I am searching for a reliable pair of Bluetooth headphones but am just trying to understand why these are so hyped? Does it have amazing ergos, sound quality, new tech, or great battery life? Is it just because Apple makes them? Maybe I'll buy two pairs, who knows? Any good product reviews yet?Perhaps you've not been using bluetooth headphones with your Apple Watch and iPhone, having to un-pair re-pair when changing sources (especially annoying before a workout at the gym).
