I ordered last Friday morning and I've seen no movement at all....
I must be one of few luckiest ones who just received my Powerbeats Pro from FedEx without expedited shipping. I ordered three minutes after the pre-order started last week. I set them up and they sound much better than AirPods. Apple keeps their promise guaranteeing the sound quality.

For those who are still awaiting, hanging in there. It is worth for a wait. The Pro will amaze you when you receive it.
 
I'm a Red Sox fan. But I'm not going to talk smack because we're off to such a bad start this season. I'll be in Houston in a couple of weeks to see the Sox play the Astros!
Haha, I was trying to keep this thread about the Powerbeats PRO but as a lifelong Astros fan, I had to defend the family name lol. 23-15 I’ll take it! Also, enjoy your time in Houston. I hope the weather is nicer by then. It’s been raining a lot lately.

Congrats. I’m feeling better now knowing that I preordered but these aren’t in stores all around. Such a wonky launch from Apple on this product. Glad you got yours. Congrats!

Thank you and congratulations to you too. I am glad I pre-ordered. I did not expect my order shipped earlier than the estimated shipping date of May 14-21. I just accepted what the estimated date was and did not mind receiving it on that period. So, I did not choose expedited shipping option, which is one day earlier, which is also not a big deal. The launch date receipt was a definite sweet surprise from Apple. I am surprised that the Pro is not available widely at retail stores.

I'm in Austin, we're getting nailed too. The thing I like about going to games in Houston is that there's no chance of a rain out!

To bring this back on topic, I usually stream the boston radio broadcast and listen to that while I'm at the game. I'll be able to do that with my Powerbeats!
 
Just got my pair delivered 15 minutes ago. I ordered 5 min after release and didn't get expedited shipping. Set up was super easy and the quality (fitment, sound, and feel) are all top notch. I’m going to test these out while biking this weekend to see how they hold up against sweat.

Congrats. So strange that some are getting theirs in and others are not.
 
Got mine from Fedex, and they are every bit as astounding as reviews have noted. Utterly comfortable and amazing sound. Blocked out adequate subway noise with good bass while still allowing me to hear a little of world around me. And the ergonomics are amazing
 
At least we’re not closed off to winning a World Series. Lol. ;) I Kid, I kid...:p
Hahahaha, HEY! You got to get to one before you can win it! Would rather be a loser in the WS then not making it! Plus we are 2 time NL champs and 6 times in a row NL West champs. Who needs a WS when you have all that! Lol :p

Can’t wait to see the real battery life. Apple always over plays there stuff. Is the case really that big? How is it tapping the b button?

I’m pissed they aren’t in stores. But then again we only heard launch day was today from this site and others never from Apple.( I don’t think) When you don’t have enough for stores then don’t give us a launch date. Call
It a soft launch..lol

Now I’m salty that I have to wait until Monday! :p

At least you know. I have to check stores everyday and if they don’t end up coming to stores till next month. I am screwed.

We will be back, you can count on it!

I hope you get yours soon. Monday can’t come soon enough for me lol.
 
I've been refreshing Best Buys product page all day hoping somehow it would pop up as available locally lol. Why in the world can't they meet the demand of earphones though? I get millions of iPhone pre-orders but earphones?! And they're technically TWO companies at play here, surely they have the ability to provide products at launch...

I think it has something to do with Airpods 2. The moment they announced the Beats a lot of people held of on purchasing Airpods

Still, don’t have a launch date if you can’t fufill order’s. Let’s not forget they only launched 1 color out of 4 at that! Bush league stuff.

Order has shipped. Apple says delivery on Tuesday 5/14, but FedEx says tomorrow (Saturday). I had the expedited shipping, so I’d assume it would be here no later than Monday if it is coming next business day.

I’m wondering if shipping times will get better as they manufacture more.

I checked with my local Apple on my way to and from work and they didn’t have any shipments to the store.

How far into the preorder did you make your purchase? I was :45 and still stuck in processing:/
 
So now my package is across town but delivery still says Monday lol. I know it doesn’t work this way but now I want to drive over there tomorrow lol.
 
Are you kidding, go get it!!! Oh wait Astro’s fans don’t ever take the initiative. Haha :p
Haha, if I thought they would actually give it to me, I’d go right now! Maybe the status will change and it will be out for delivery today lol.
