I lost one of mine this morning... wonder if they still have replacement stock?

If you desperately need them before Christmas: get two of your friends who own AirPods get one replacement each ($69/per) and one of them get the case! :)
 
Still not understanding how they sell that well based on form facto alone. They’re hideous.
And what pray tell, do you think is "Not" a hideous listening device--just because they took away the wire , that didn't make any hearing device "Pretty" I am ready for a suggestion.
 
It’s funny. I’m willing to drop more than $1000 on an iPhone X but not another $159 in addition to that on AirPods. I’d love to have a pair but I just know that I’m going to lose one or both of them. I might as well take $160 and light it on fire.

How well does “Find My AirPods” work? I have enough trouble keeping track of my Apple TV remote, iPhone and Apple Watch. I wish Apple would use Bluetooth to allow users to have the iPhone emit an audio tone if you’re looking for one of those other devices and are near it but can’t see it.

Use Find My iPhone and you can use that to find your Apple Watch. It’ll make a noise and flash the green light, in case it’s upside down.
 
From a consumer standpoint yes, from a business standpoint no.

I mean I’d have to hunker down the cost for a second case a year later, AND what will be a severely overpriced wireless charge mat?

And still have to charge my watch separate since it’s s1?

That’s a tough value prop especially since AirPods case charges quick
 
It’s the best product they have launched in years. Thumbs up
It really is! I was just amazed at not only how well they work, but the sound is not bad at all! Especially if you have bass boost on. I was a little scared at first because the regular iPhone wired headphone had always hurt my ears and these are supposedly the same design, but for some strange reason, these just do not hurt at all and sometimes I even forget they are there! Maybe its the weight diff? I dunno but I love these things!

Because nobody cares about the form factor, they care about the comfortability and convenience. It's the experience behind the AirPods with simplistic features, and for those who judge others based on what they wear for headphones, it just shows insecurity.
 
Whenever I see someone wearing these I just think they look dorky. Just don’t really get the allure of them — just EarPods without wires and with the same mediocre sound. I picked up a pair of Studio 2s for a little more than the price of AirPods but they don’t look stupid and they sound amazing.

I care very much . Though having long hair at the moment, it's okay.

So you honestly believe apple owners don't care about form?

How long have you been an apple user ?

This is one of the best Apple products I have bought in a long time - I had high expectations but they have surpassed everything I hoped for.

Run a lot and use them in the office - amazing little product.

Still a bit surprised about the demand considering they really doesn’t show off before you have them and have tried how great they are

One of my favorite things is charging my
Phone while
Listening to music and walking around my apt / changing tracks with the watch

They look fine, until you put them on :)

Yeah, they are not the greatest looking . I'm not going to pretend .

Though , the simplicity and convenience cannot be beaten . I use them for gym and commute, and they cannot be beaten.

If you own a recent iOS device or newer Mac, try them out
 
Holding on for the 2nd version. And when that happens, I'm getting a pair from Blackpods right away. Popular or not, these things still look like toothbrushes sticking out of people's ears.

I think so many people own AirPods now that there’s no reason to be self conscious

In my city at least I spot AirPods in the wild all the time.

AirPods or Face ID sensors, They can't make both at the same time, they have the choose which one they want to make.

That's your prerogative, not mine.

Not even remotely close to the point I was making, nor does an "Apple user" apply to my statement. I'm simply saying it doesn't matter what somebody else thinks what you wear, regardless of the AirPods or any other pair of headphones, it doesn't matter. Again, insecurity is prevalent for those who judge others based on what they wear for headphones. Period.

Zero relevance to the actual topic. Nor am I interested in discussing frivolous tangents.

In The UK you can find them most Argos store.
I have been using them for almost a year and it is the perfect addition for
me! Apple nailed it. With some more controls it would be the most perfect item to go with the iPhone.
My penny on that.
Have a great Xmas everyone.

No. The wireless charging case is not going to be included. It’s an optional addition. Just like Apple stated it would be back in September.
Offering a new case for sale on it’s own doesn’t preclude bundling it with AirPods.

My guess is that AirPods will come with the new case early next year.

You act like walking around with bulky pair of Beats don’t look ridiculous?
