AirPods to be Available in Apple Retail Stores Starting Monday Morning

[jerry16]

Again. No. You know the pre-release models had next to no issues, or none at all.

Apple fixes any hardware issues months ago. It was a manufacturing problem, nothing else.

Not sure why you are so sure these are immune from potential problems. If the MBP is any indication, I would say anything is possible.

Can't wait to hear about the issues on Tuesday

I see what you did there!

It would help a lot if they were black...

Sharpie™ or spraypaint for the win.

 

[profets]

hey man, better sound quality with wires

So it's not the look but the sound quality you have an issue with? And you know this since you've tested a pair?

Because if there were any issues, we'd have heard about it when people had the pre-release models.

It's like you want them to go wrong... how bizzare.

 

[Pootmatoot]

By wireless, I'm assuming your portable wireless speakers used Bluetooth?

Yes. Wifi etc was fine... just the Bluetooth protocol that clearly had issues, across multiple brands inc speakers/headphones.

If it's truly solved, that's great.

According to your logic iOS updates shouldn't ever brick devices because if there were any issues we'd have heard about it in beta testing.

I'm just a realist and don't have much faith left in Apple as of late. I'd love for Cupertino to knock it out of the park on these.

 

[dugbug]

that's not entirely true. most good bluetooth audio devices use aptx and use certain techniques to line up the video with the audio.

with my 1000 dollars in audio equipment, im totally jealous of apple's wireless earpods

LOL.

SOMEONE ORDERED THESE AND HAS BUYER'S REMORSE.

I think he would laugh at you dragging your 1000 dollars of audio equipment around

If people updated correctly they wouldn't have any issues.

I'm unsure how many updates I've done over the years but I've NEVER had an issue.

lol just because it's expensive doesn't mean its physically large

 

[Larry The L]

I got a bad feeling about these being rushed to market the week before Christmas

So the pointing and laughing begins on Tuesday?

Can't wait to hear about the issues on Tuesday

cant wait to see people walking around looking like they have cotton hanging out of their ears

LOL.

SOMEONE'S JELLY.

Lol dog toys.. Anyway yeah I'm putting money on a huge amount of issues on these

Clearly they are desperately getting them out for Christmas

Oh, just in time for the wireless future!

/s

If you're going to kill a standard, at least be ready. Apple knew for how long they were removing the 3.5mm jack but still couldn't manage to get these out in the promised timeframe.

Why does a company this size struggle so much with timeliness?

as long as they won't explode ...

exhibit A: why apple can continue selling garbage for hundreds of dollars past reasonable amounts

I was trying to find some intelligent posts. But most are like the ones I quoted. How sad and useless if someone is actually looking for real information here. It's just not possible.

 

[jetjaguar]

hmm maybe ill cancel my order if they are really going to be in store on Monday since my delivery date is 12/21

 

[Suckfest 9001]

So it's not the look but the sound quality you have an issue with? And you know this since you've tested a pair?

they use bluetooth for sound, so...

and it's a pair of earpods ffs, they won't sound great as is

 

[Larry The L]

Not sure why you are so sure these are immune from potential problems. If the MBP is any indication, I would say anything is possible.

Of course anything is possible. Just look at the election results.

Just the truth I'm afraid. I've given up posting real information here. Just CBA.

 

[jerry16]

I'm unsure how many updates I've done over the years but I've NEVER had an issue.

Because you've never had an issue everyone else must be updating wrong?

Got it.

 

[lsutigerfan1976]

Any of you wishing to waste your money on a pair of $200 earpieces hit me up instead. I can put that money to better use!

im sorry if i hurted your feelings i guess i forgot this thread is the AirPods Appreciation Station and we can't be critical of them at all

Yep. You've got it.

And how is it that you are so sure there will be enough supply so you can get one. My sources tell me that each store might get 2 or 3 every other day. You aren't going to get one unless you are very, very lucky!

Why don't you leave it to the individual to decide what to spend their OWN money on? Thanks!!

 

[satchmo]

It would help a lot if they were black...

I'm surprised they didn't have it gold or rose gold!

Proud to have made your best of list!

I've noticed I've been spending more time on r/apple on Reddit rather than MacRumors lately... MR user base has declined in maturity.

Only if the person is infantile.

You can't be critical when you are comparing apples to oranges. These headphones are better than AirPods, sure, but so is a cool $2000 in my pocket and the ability to walk around the block without looking like a tool.
