I am curious that for those wanting the AirPods, is this your first Bluetooth headphones?
This is my situation so am thinking the desire is mainly for the wireless. I'm going to go out and buy some cheap $20 Bluetooth right now to see if the novelty wears off after a few seconds - like most other shiny new things I have got in the past.
sucks, i was going to order but since shipping has slipped so far i don't want to anymore hahaha
People also think trump is gonna be a great president!
I can't even fathom why anyone would want these. Normal earbuds fall out of my ears with the slightest movement and these appear just as bad.
Your normal earbuds have cords that pull them out. AirPods don't have cords.
they can you explain why they limit the number of units you can buy on every iPhone launch?Apple doesn't mind selling to resellers. Ask any Apple employee. Whether they sell 100k units to 100k customers or sell 100k units to 1 customer, it doesn't matter. They sell, they make cash. And cash in one transaction is better than cash in multiple transactions.
Apple has announced AirPods will be available for purchase at Apple Stores, authorized resellers, and select carriers next week, providing customers who did not quickly pre-order with a chance to buy the wireless earphones before the end of the year. Apple said stores will receive "regular AirPods shipments."

AirPods launched on Apple's website earlier today for $159. The all-new wireless earphones had an initial delivery estimate of around December 21 for many customers in the United States, but that date quickly slipped, and Apple is now quoting "4 weeks" for orders yet to be placed on its U.S. storefront.
AirPods are also estimated to ship in 4 weeks in Canada, where they are priced at $219. In Australia ($229) and the United Kingdom (£159), customers can still get earlier December 19 delivery as of the time this article was published. In Singapore, customers can get AirPods delivered by December 22 for $238.
In the Eurozone, AirPods cost EUR179. In Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, customers face a two-week wait for AirPods. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Japan also have 2-week estimates. In Hong Kong, it is 4 weeks. AirPods are available in more than 100 countries overall.

...and those are somewhat locked onto ears by some kind of clasp or even screw-on mechanism behind the lobe.
I wish everybody would boycott buying these so Apple would get the hint and focus on perfecting other products![]()

The apple hate on these forums is getting old especially from those who haven't even tried it and are already knocking them.
The reviewers who I trust love them so I am willing to give them a chance. If I don't like them Apple has a return policy.
I have the LG Tone bluetooth headset and love it for listening to podcasts/music in my apartment without having to carry the iphone even though the device gets sweaty around your neck. The LG Tone is not great for making calls so I use the earpods when I make calls. I will not miss untangling the apple earpod wires at all.
I also have a ton of bluetooth devices and the pairing always takes 5-10 seconds. Hopefully this will be faster.
My 29.99 Amazon wireless headphones work fine.
What a rip off.

Yeah, and just like earrings, if you lose one you won't even notice. Because obviously the audio you were listening to in that ear will persist to play even after it has fallen out. Good job.
