Just got mine...and I'm in love! ANC is really impressive and they feel more comfortable than the usual airpods (which I also liked a lot). The only thing that I think got worse is that right now you have to squeeze the Airpod to skip tracks or play/pause. It doesn't work every time for me; I guess I have to get used to squeeze it in the right place. It was easier with the previous generation just to tap anywhere on the airpod to skip/play/pause tracks.
 
Another $10 a month for Apple product‘s. Add it all up, the grocery bill seems small.😜
 
I had intended on posting "Available at Apple Stores NOT in Utah," but then I checked and they are available. We usually get everything last as there are so few of us compared to most states.

so no tap functions anymore?
 
The new AirPods Pro are great but they are noticeable quieter than last gen AirPods which is a big shame, with Noice Cancelation on they are even quieter, I expected them to sound better but they don’t, I like the last gen AirPods better but I like the new fit and NC

Free engraving?!!? Where? Perhaps only your initials?

Just seems kind of silly on something so small and narrow.
 
Are you trading for a 11 or Pro, because the 11 does not have a telephoto camera like your X. Zoom In is far more important than Zoom Out as it causing distortion.
For the 11. I always found the X to be too small for me, so it was either 11 or Pro Max. The 11 was the perfect size for me when I compared all three side by side (11, Pro and Pro Max). On top of that, I wanted the AirPods Pro.

iPhone 11 - $699 + $249 - 400 (Trade-In) = $548 plus taxes
iPhone Pro Max - $1099 + 249 - 400 (Trade-In) = $948 plus taxes

Yeah, I wanted to save that $400. Lol.
 
I was today in a Apple Store too and people buying them like crazy. The line was really long.
The store concept is deprecated for that amount of people.

The product will be a huge hit.

Do you find like me the AirPods 2nd gen are louder and more punchy the new ones are good but side by side I like the sound in the old ones, the new ones are cleaner sounding but not as loud
 
Mine were delivered today!
Bloody wonderful 😎👌
Great sound quality and very comfortable
Love them already 💕💕💕👍
 
Will they ever come out in black or should I just buy now?

Probably not in black. Apple is making it clear they’re sticking with ‘classic white’. I’m not sure why they won’t offer optional colors for the AirPods, but I don’t believe they will be adding an additional color in the future, not when they have had plenty of time to plan ahead knowingly this has been a request for quite some time.

Wow no tap functions would get to be annoying after like a day

I think they don't because its obvious when you see someone wearing them what they are. Black might be harder to spot in someones ears.

Without any insider knowledge, I’d be surprised if they come in different colors, at least for a while. Selling only white for a couple of weeks and then piss off a bunch of people by adding color options soon after.

Word of warning though. I love my black AirPods, painted by ColorWare, but they will only color them if you buy AirPods through them (they take possession first and ship them to you). At least when I had mine colored, they would not accept AirPods from a customer, even unopened, had to be direct from Apple. So if you really want AP Pros in black, I’d wait a bit until ColorWare offers coloring for them (they don’t yet, I’ve emailed them the question). Another option might be BlackPods, and I seem to remember they might take APs from customers (should check) but I didn’t think they did as good a job as ColorWare.
 
Kinda want to buy them at Best Buy for my reward points, but they only have them for shipping at the moment. Not sure I have time to go to an Apple Store today...

Me too. But perhaps they will have them, bit the website just doesn’t reflect it yet. (Even the Apple store doesn’t show iPhone inventory when it falls below a certain level).

They sounds dramatically better than the original AirPods and feel even better in the ear. They’re a lot like the Sony equivalents. Sony still sound a bit better but the AirPods are more comfortable and sweat-proof. Just wish Apple had gone USB-C in those.
 
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm considering Amazon's new Echo buds simply because I can't drop $250 for these. I figure Amazon's buds will be $100 on BF. If price wasn't a factor, I'd go for Apple any day of the week, but it is so I can't.

Without any insight or knowledge, Apple will not release them in black anytime soon. Sell them only in white and a short while later piss many of them off by suddenly offering a bunch of colors? Not likely. Kind of like dropping the iPhone price shortly after a release, and they learned their lesson from that. If you’ll settle for them and white, by now.

One caveat: there are third-party coloring services which will not take AirPods unless shipped directly from Apple. I’m thrilled with my black AirPods, which I bought from ColorWare. There’s also black pubs, and I think they may have the same restriction, you should check. Neither is offering AirPod Pros yet. I’ve emailed CW and they haven’t replied yet. I’m completely confident they’ll offer them, and probably soon, so you may wish to wait, depending on how badly you want them in black (or, in the case of ColorWare, any other color).

It's on the case. I had mine engraved with my phone number in case I lose them. It was included free but it did cost me a few extra days of waiting for shipment. I did get a notice this morning that they shipped but still have a delivery date of November 5.

I was stunned when I put them in my ears. ANC is amazing for the size of the product. I have Sony over-ears and the noise cancellation between AirPods Pro and the XM1002's are very similar. Quite impressive. Size reduction is nice, feel in the ear is nice. Very pleased
 
People shouldn’t have to dream on since a lot of people wanted them in different colors besides white. iPhone and MacBooks have different colors, no excuses for Apple.
They have been white since the first iPod
it’s a “iconic” thing seems to be working for them. No?

100%. Would I have liked other color options (especially black) sure, but it doesn't change whether I'll buy or not. Color is just one of those things I could care less about. If they never released a space gray Mac, I wouldn't have begged for it, in fact I would never even think about it. Very happy with my white AirPods Pro
