I received them this afternoon. Sounds pretty good. Heavy on the bass but that’s how I like it.

Is there any way to adjust the bass? Did you notice any vibration through the PowerBeats?

Mine arrived today as well. Actually I find not heavy on bass at all. Treble is much more prevelant. I compared to my powerbeats3 and noticeable sound difference.
Overall these things are glorious. Have been wearing them for 3 hours. They are going to replace my AirPods which I love but fit is terrible for me.
Made a bunch of calls and they work very well. Callers said I sounded great.
No way to adjust equalizer for the person who asked.

Oh man reading these makes me soooo mad I held out for in store. Now I don’t know when I will actually get to have them. Glad all you guys got them. I would sell my kid for a pair right about now! Lol

I preordered but got busy so didn’t finish transaction until a few minutes after it started. I’m in the 13-20 range. Hopefully will get some movement and get them ASAP (Monday).
In the past if dates slipped I’d just wait to buy in store as many did.
I feel to an extent whether planned or not this will shake up some people with that thinking in the future and have them just go ahead and preorder the product.

No adjustments on sound quality that I know of. Just volume up/down, power, play, stop, pause, etc.
This is my first powerbeats. I've used Shure, Bowers & Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen. Compared to those, these are more bassy.

I’m not getting enough isolation with the stock eartips that came with the Powerbeats Pro. Does anyone know if Comply eartips will work for these?

As in none of the tips will work for you?

Apparently they do as another poster in a different thread here used some Comply’s he already had w/ his new PB Pros.

The large fit best but would like more sound isolation from them.

Can you link me the thread? So would Comply tips for Powerbeats 3 work? They don’t have Powerbeats specific tips on the website yet.

Ended up ordering from Best Buy a couple of hours after pre-orders started and I’m seeing shipping by Friday 5/17. Best I could find seeing how I was in meetings and missed the launch.
Also, Target and Apple and Best Buy stores do not have any in stock or showing as delivering soon.

My powerbeats came, I don't think the bass is overpowered at all. a nice thump like a HomePod but the treble isn't lost at all. it sounds great.

Ugh mine are in Houston somewhere and I still have to wait until tomorrow to get them lol. I really wanted them for my morning workout tomorrow but at least I’ll finally get them!
Edit: I’m curious what “Hold at location” does. I sort of doubt it will allow me to pick them up today but I’m really tempted lol.

At least you know you’re getting them tomorrow. I’m still in Processing hell with mine!

I'm going to test them out when I fly Memorial Day weekend. It's the whole reason why I bought these to make flying more pleasant. The airpods you could barely hear when on the plane.
Please report back. I travel a lot for work and love the convenience of AirPods to and from the airport and while in the airport but the plane is a no-go. I was thinking of ditching my wireless beats studio for these if they work well enough. Also have a long flight to Ireland in a few months and was thinking this would just end much easier and compact.

I’ve been listening to them all day. The sound quality is SOOOO good. If you have heard a HomePod and like it, this sounds very similar. Basically then take well balanced sound spectrum including mids and highs and give it just a touch more bass than a true flat profile but it’s a super mellow and clean “boom” without being muddy or distorted at any time. It sounds so good on so many genres from pop, R&B, country, folk etc. I’m not sure it is the purest flat sound profile set of earphones ever made but it’s a damn crowd pleaser without the muddy bass from older beats products. It’s destroys the sound of my old Gen 1 AirPods. The noise isolation is pretty great too, way better than the AirPods and I’m fairly confident this will be more than adequate for a good experience on let’s say a plane even if true active noise cancelation would be best. You can use a slightly smaller ear tip and it lets in more ambient sound if you have safety concerns running etc. I love them. Only complaint, look a little weird viewed straight on (so do AirPods and the ads never ever show that view) but on any side angle they look great and better than AirPods IMHO.

Oh man, hearing all this just makes not being able to buy them in store more maddening. Ugh, Apple get some in store dang it!
