I like these better than the BeatsX wireless headphones and now I understand why they call them “totally” wireless Powerbeats pro. I also like that I can twist them down a bit for less sound isolation or twisting back up for total isolation.
Got a tip for us?

Anybody see any shipping movement on New Powerbeats?

Yup. I have smaller ear canals and for some reason the way they reshaped these headphones is worse for me than the Powerbeats 2
So a lot of people have been saying they are tough to put in with one hand. I found out the perfect way.
If you angle them down and put the tip of the ear hook at the beginning of ur ear, against ur head, then twist them up( ur hand goes in a clockwise twist) so the top of ear hook follows ur ear curve as ur twisting till they snap right into place and the tips seal in ur canal. It’s actually the Perfect way I have found that work.

I am rather surprised at the lack of stock (overall) at most of the retailers (including Apple). I ordered from Apple and mine are slated June 6 - 13th. I ordered on May 12th. The Apple site estimates for new orders are already well into mid June.
Like many of you, I have checked other sites in hopes of getting the new gadget quicker than Apple. Guess I will wait another 10 - 14 days etc. I still have my AirPods Gen 2 and my Sony WH100X M3.

Walmart has gotten stock a couple different times. Also, just in case you don't, have notifications setup up at istocknow. Seems like most Apple stores have started to get stock here lately
Ordered May 3rd from B&H and still no details from them when the headphones will be shipped. I wanted to save the tax, but I guess the "savings" costs in delays.
Looking for an alternative hopefully Wlamart will have more in stock. istocknow shows there are some available at the Apple Store next to my house, but I called them and they said they have none. So I'm not sure how reliable istocknow...

Istock worked for me every time. If you see them in a store just go to Apple.com and order it for instore pickup. Some stores only got like 2/3 sets so they sell out in 30 min.
when I do that it says June 26th as store pickup date. Would it change after I order?
FedEx delivered mine first thing this morning (from a WalMart order). Tried them out and just with the tips that they were shipped with, they sound great! I have PowerBeats 2, PowerBeats 3 and Beats X, and the Pros sound better than all of them (I don't have AirPods to compare them to). I've primarily been using the Beats X for about the last 6 months, where I use them to listen to music at the office and during exercise and to talk on the phone. I'll have to check out the microphone on the Pros to see if they're the same or better than the X.
Now I think I can cancel my Apple order.

No, it would say pick up in store that day. Stores only get a couple pairs so someone is beating you to it...
Walmart has some stock. Was waiting for blue but caved and ordered black. Go quick!

Has anyone had any movement on their Apple.com orders that originally said May 29-June 5 delivery? I ordered through Apple on May 3rd at 1:40pm EST and still stuck in processing.
no movement on my side either. ordered may 3rd at 11:55am
Bummer. I also ordered just 3 hours after pre-orders opened on May 3rd, and had a May 29 - June 5 delivery window. Last week, I had been monitoring istocknow.com and ended up ordering for local pickup immediately upon seeing in-stock at a store near me. Ended up cancelling my Apple.com order.
Mine still the same. It surprised me just how little stock there is. Hopefully there’s movement this week.
Oh ya big time. Black is the color will sell the most and thus make the most of. But after while the stock will catch up with the demand...
I would say I’m a little surprised. I ordered on the 10th and I certainly didn’t expect earth shattering shipping changes, I have to say I figured they would do better then June 5 to 12. While we aren’t there yet, based on what I’m seeing in the thread I’m feeling the 12th or maybe later. I would expected a little but better then original quoted....
For those using Comply tips, do you have difficulty getting the tip into your ear before it expands? I find it difficult due to the shape of the Powerbeats. I do eventually get them in, but sometimes it takes quite a bit of effort. Also, I got the medium tips, which tend to slide out after a while. I'll get the large ones after I wear out the mediums.
