It's been a long time since I looked forward to a new Apple product like this. If they get it right, this product will be perfect. Will miss the next / previous buttons tough..
well thats just swell, i didn't think they would want to miss the christmas season of sales.
It's surprising the things you care about when you're waiting at the car dealer.
Can you buy a pair and split them up to use one with my iPhone and my wife can use the other?
Wireless earbuds. That's a new thing? No. It's the colour isn't it? Apple. It's got the Apple logo on it, yeah? Ok. Got it. 
Hell yea, jogging on a trail, jogging at night.
Especially on a trail, leaves, rocks, and also bridges. If it falls out while on a bridge on the trails I frequent, there is a good chance it will fall off into the water.
Most people don't realize this but they fall because they get pulled by a wire. I have tested faulty ones (cutting the wires) and it was pretty hard to shake it out of my ears.

Lice? You're kidding, right? Do you have any idea how big a louse is? Hint: if you take even a cursory look at the AirPod before you put it in your ear, you'd be able to tell reliably that here are no lice on it. The reason lice get transmitted from person to person, especially among children, is that they hide in people's hair and move from one person to another when their heads are touching, as in play. Sure, lice can be transmitted by caps, but when was the last time you inspected a cap for lice or nits, which are also easily visible to the naked eye, before putting it on.
And, if you're really concerned about transmission of bacteria and viruses on the surface of demo AirPods, you don't have to put them in your ear. No one is making you. Or you could just bring an alcohol swab with you and clean them before trying them on.

Nope, you cannot. The AirPods are tied together (not literally
and the set work with one device at a time. If you lose 1 AirPod you have to replace them both. They cannot work independently of each other in regard to being paid with different devices at a time (though they can work independently of each other in that you can use either one or both at any given time)[doublepost=1478797939][/doublepost]
There are other considerations beyond audio quality. If someone is happy with the quality of EarPods, then the addition of true wireless, easy pairing, fast charging, independent use etc make them an easy purchase and actually quite attractive at that price point.
An especially prudent stance, I think, given this:

Right, of course they WANT to miss the holiday season. Lol. It has nothing to do with making sure that they're fixed.
I'm all for quality, but I withhold my judgment till it's out. I know 3rd already have them and the qualities are amazing....we will see.Nope, you cannot. The AirPods are tied together (not literally

I still can't believe people signed off on that atrocious design.
I don't use my hands. And still, you've got those wax deposits deep in the earbuds..no.

Such sass.
They will become available and then shipping dates will slip. Can i really expect to buy them on those dates, assuming this is even true in the first place? Apple is becoming like a crack dealer where you get a hit and then... ugh.
Nobody actually cares all we want is the W1 chip on anything. Well maybe not on citrus red Beats.

What a repetitive and tiring comment to those of us that bought an iPhone in the wireless world.
