How do you know that wasn't the case. Clearly there was an issue that caused a protracted delay

If the problem was in the software, and not hardware, they would be delivered right now.

The problem was in manufacturing, that's why they will only arrive day 21.

Who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on these stupid headphones that are guaranteed to be lost within days?

Says the guy with an Android logo eating an Apple with blood...

If Google would release this (they can't), you'd be all over it, how "Google is out-innovating Apple".

I love Apple. I will wait to order even though I was originally one who was going to order as soon as they were available. Too many mis-steps by Apple lately. Never thought I'd see the day where my confidence in Apple had me waiting to see how a product turns out before ordering. I hope everyone is pleased when they receive them.

We will see how these stand up. I know that, even with wired ear buds, I've fumbled with and dropped them. Thankfully, the wire saved the day. Now, take away the wire... and I can see many of these ending up in the toilet.

I ordered them. I currently have Sol's wire-free buds and the quality is poor. Great bass, but horrid highs. Do vital distortion is easily heard, even when working out. I won't use 's AirPods for the gym, but these will be great for my daily Starbucks break. I'll be sticking with my PowerBeats for the gym since they are sweat resistant.

whoever is doing Apple's pricing must live in a state with legal weed.
It's the going rate for any good wireless earphones. Infact given it's apple i'm surprised it's not more.

anyone know if they are available in store?
There is option to pick up in store.
 
I would call my friend, co-worker, or family member to let them know these are out now... but I don't know anyone who was waiting.
 
Looking forward to hearing about them, once real people have tried them. I can't imagine how they'll remain in your ears if you're moving around.

Do the current one's ever pop out of your ears alone? I've never had that happen; they only ever pull out if I accidentally pull on the cord or something. So I doubt this should be a problem.
 
Ordered, if they suck they go back.

I'm always stumbling over headphone wires and audio output settings between my Mac & iPhone at my desk, I hope these are the cure all.

+ 1 pair for bae for Christmas.
