Can someone please explain what is "PRO" about these?

There is no answer to that question.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Done. I bet we will see a new MacBook Pro tomorrow....

 

[brucewayne]

All over them as soon as these can actually be ordered. Edit: Ordering works now - delivers 10/31!

I've had the original airpods since Dec 2016 - one of the best apple accessories ever.

I bought the second generation for the Hey Siri support, but I would have kept my first-gen. I suppose if I had the spare cash or didn't already have the second-gen, I'd upgrade, but I see no reason to. I'm not someone who works out so the sweat isn't an issue, and I find the ones I have now adequate for noisy environments. They also fit great and are so comfortable I sometimes forget I'm wearing them.

I just can't justify that price for in-ear headphones.

Pro. Laughable. Higher tech shouldn’t cost more money. Pro should not mean “more advanced technology.” I shouldn’t have to pay more for a house with more bathrooms or heated floors.

 

[TheAppleFairy]

they come in 3 sizes and a removable. did anyone even bother to look at apple.com?

Stop being reasonable

 

[whatta]

So no more events then this year? So no iPad Pro this year?

 

[cardfan]

Sorry Apple. I prefer the originals

 

[Jaekae]

Waiting for first reviews. The "original" airpods were garbage in terms of fit (a faster walk and boom, looking for them on the ground, especialy the right one). If these "stay in" i might be tempted...

lol, not everyone has the same ears so maby its just bad for you, and reviews cant say if its good fit

I suggest you don't buy them then.

 

[johnyslats]

Ordered. Not sure about silicone tips but will give them a shot and return if necessary

 

[neuropsychguy]

I wonder how much replacement rubber tips will cost...

EDIT: Now that we have more information, my post was incorrect. They are proprietary tips but thankfully, replacement tips are only $4.

 

[citysnaps]

So I guess the "Pro" suffix on Apple products no longer means "for the Professional".

It never did.

It's just a label; nothing to get worked up about.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Need Black ASAP!

Need?

 

[deckard666]

Sorry Apple. I prefer the originals

Which is a line no-one here used when those originals came out - LOL

 

[Benz63amg]

Is black going to be an option later or on white only? I just placed an order for the white

 

[Jaekae]

So no more events then this year? So no iPad Pro this year?

ipad pro is rumored for march..

 

[MLVC]

Ordered them, wanted them in white anyway, so all good. Can't wait for Wednesday!

 

[yossi]

If this means they wont fall out of my ears when running, I can definitely justify upgrading to the Pro

 

[fonzy91]

YESSS!! So excited! Ordered immediately and they're coming on the 30th! 🙂

 

[Glockworkorange]

I got this....Did you use the iOS app?

View attachment 873029

I had that and then switched to Chrome and it was fine. Was not in the iOS Apple Store app.

 

[dgdosen]

so - if batteries die in a year - that's $11 a month to use headphones?

Edit.... that's $21!!!

 

[snakesayan]

The battery life is horrible... I’ll pass
