One a side note, UPS lost my delivery.
Cool.
"lost" 'eh?

I wonder how how well the noise cancellation works in a truck...say like a "delivery truck".

WoW....
Now I know why I left these forums.....I read most of this thread, so much negativity and BS passed around.
I'll move on and enjoy my new AirPod Pros without the drama, just like I did for 3-years with my Gen 1 Airpods.
For those they got them, please enjoy and forget all this drama.....
My favourite part is this is a giant FU to all the smug AirPod users who sneered at the idea that anyone might like an alternative to hard plastic earpieces. I WANTED to like the originals, think the Apple integration is amazing but just couldn't wear the things.
Over 1100 comments and counting. Guess there wasn't any demand for a different design....HEY?!
The pro suffix is just an excuse made by Apple to justify rising prices. It’s a pro product, so it’s more expensive. The original airpods, for instance, cost $160, so by calling the new ones airpods pro they can increase the price to almost twice as much with no other reason: $250. Greedy Apple in action.So I guess the "Pro" suffix on Apple products no longer means "for the Professional".

Exactly. The Pro naming only serves the purpose of justifying otherwise unjustifiable price increases.The AirPods Pro Max/Plus can now start at $329

Basically yes. I ran a few tests. A couple of times with the medium tips one side or other said the fit was not good. If I moved it it worked. But with the large tips, a good seal every time. So I think most people will be able to get a good seal wiyh one set or another.Did both M and L give you a good fit according to the test?
I truly don't get this.Exactly. The Pro naming only serves the purpose of justifying otherwise unjustifiable price increases.
Supposedly, they were delivered to my office, but this is literally the info I have. I don’t know anyone in this building named “desk”."lost" 'eh?

First of all the original airpods were already too expensive, which is why I never bought them, and now these new airpods pro are even more expensive than the previous ones.I truly don't get this.
- The new ones include ANC, which moves the product into a different category. As has been argued here already, the pricing is pretty similar to other earbuds with ANC.
- They are still selling the old ones at the old price! If you don't want to pay extra for ANC, they have you covered!!

What a depressingly negative opinion to hold.
As far as the pricing, if you don't like it, don't buy them. They aren't a cure for cancer, they're a luxury non-necessity. Complaining about the price of something that no one needs or is forced to buy truly has to meet the definition of 1st-world problem...?

The could name them Airpods Peanut Butter and Jelly and the fact would remain that the Airpods Pro are priced competitively with its nearest competition, Sony WF-1000XM3Absolutely true... And sadly, the slight marketing twist seems to dupe a huge chunk of people and immediately convert them into defenders/evangelists/etc

100% this. This thread has taken Macrumors to a new low with some of the comments in it. We know it can be a cesspool but Christ on a bike, it’s gone lower than a worms belly now.
...
It does not matter what Apple does, it will not be right, and there will be the usual screaming little kids having tantrums and throwing their toys out the pram because they’re not getting exactly what they want. This entitled attitude is absolutely pervasive and spreads like cancer.
This thread has reached SpyMac levels of maturity.
SpyMac was a rumor site/message board/forum/email-webhosting site from the early 2000’s. It was a useful place to get info but around the time of the time the first iPod mini was launched (2004ish) the forums had devolved into a constant btchfest whenever Apple released a new product. How dare they release a 80gb iPod when I just bought a 60gb last week! Why does an iPod mini cost so much when I can get x brand mp3 player for $50 less?Never heard of SpyMac to be honest. You’re not telling me it’s as bad as this place? LOL

Mostly it was broke college kids (being barraged by non-stop apple ads on TV) complaining that things cost too much and the adults trying to explain why things aren’t free.
