Someone already has them up on ebay for $500. Why am I not surprised.

Lol but they're not out of stock right

Now, users can order the Bluetooth-enabledheadphones, which provide up to 5 hours of music playback and high-quality sound through a "seamless and automatic connection" between the AirPods and an iPhone. To charge the AirPods, the included travel case doubles as a charging station that provides up to 24 hours of battery life for the headphones.

So that means 5 hours out of the juice box and up to 24 with refills? So like almost 5 full charges of 5 hours (one session getting 4 hours) before connecting to the wall again?

Hmm
 
In Hong Kong, the delivery schedule already push back to 4 weeks. I can't get it for Christmas:(

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.

For me, the overwhelming majority of the time an earbud slips out, it is because the wires get pulled or tangled on something. Loosing the wires eliminates the problem.

I just missed XMas delivery - oh well. Maybe I will get lucky anyway. I figure they are worth a try at least.
 
Anybody remember back in the day when Apple pushed a BT firmware update? Would that suggest this could happen across the board with the latest Airpods and perhaps the latest Macs? If possible I would expect maybe the Airpods would **** with it but a recent laptop may be able to have this done.

Am I just crazy to think this?

Little shock people are ordering so fast and not waiting for the reviews and battery life. Read on the website up to 24 hours on a charge or 5 hours of using them. Seems little low.

What is there to wait for? We already got all the reviews months ago. There is nothing new here, its the same product that was reviewed in September...
 
Question: I have an iPhone 5s. I know they are compatible with the phone but will pairing be just as easy as with iPhone 7 ? Or is it going to have to be pair through some sort of normal bluetooth connection method?

Airpod strap? Is that a joke? So I need a strap for my cordless headphones? You see the absurdity in that right? It's not just me? Right?

I've seen people do cartwheels with these things on and they remained in the ear. I guess they could be dislodged if someone jumped from an airplane without a parachute and splat into the ground.
 
Just placed an order for mine Expected Delivery Date of 12/21/16. Gah~ too expansive but I'd rather have it wireless than having a tangled headphones.
