Good point. I forgot about that.Always good to burn customers right after the holiday return policy expires
That means we won’t see anything happen before Jan 8th when all the holiday gifts become nonrefundable.
You made a statement no one cares about thier form factor , I said I did, and you dismissed me .
See my point ? You are doing the same to others .
Form factor and Apple is very very relevant ! If you were a long time user , you would understand this , hence my question is very relevant. Just cause you do not understand the question , does not make it a frivolous statement .
How about Letting people have thier opinions without telling they are wrong or irrelevant . We all started from your statement , maybe reread it.... and see how it comes across ?
In summary : I love my AirPods and they look dorky, live with it
Relax and have a good weekend mate.
try amazon or ebay. lots of products available to help them stick in your ears. just surch for "airpod"
Really? I've never tested them and never will. Unless they bring out a model that never needs charging.
I get Bluetooth headphones and other than the 'convenience' of not having to plug them in I have the inconvenience of having to charge them. With these Airpods I have the added benefit of being able to loose them independently of each other.
Sure just as you are able to lose your phone, wallet, keys just as easily. The case is there so you don't lose them.
People that loose these are just as likely to lose anything else.
and in terms of charging? mine barely needs to be charged once a week at most
I’d say 9/10 times I’ve thought I saw AirPods on someone, they were just wired ones and I wasn’t yet close enough to see that they were wired.
I don’t wear mine out that much, but that’s a lack of opportunity rather than being worried about strange looks.
For one, I don’t think they look that strange, the wire went away but otherwise they’re the same. They look far better than 1980s style big cans that have become popular. Finally, they’re in my ear so I can’t see what I look like

I’m an artist and I’m poor—er, frugal—er, "differently monied".
But I don’t skimp on my tools. And it’s hard to cut, paint, stitch, draw, print, compute, and otherwise manipulate materials and move all around my studio while tethered to a cable.
I rejoice and thank the technology gods for Bluetooth! And thank Apple for the AirPods and their seamless, hassle-free operation.
I agree.....I have had mine for about 3 months........and they are just so frigging good. I have all the flash/expensive headphones (Bowers & Wilkins/oppo) and rarely use them now!! And I have got use to the white...can't see them
Also when you take them in for issues, they will replace either of the buds or the unit. Got my left bud replaced

You can get individual replacements, though yes, a few times I thought I lost mine

It appears others disagree with you. And yet you still didn't read the past post to even make this Statement in first place, because if you had, then you would known that I quoted the form number listed below. That should make more sense to you since I'm having to redirect your original post.
So you're saying you're concerned on how you look with your AirPods, but you like them overall but the factor matters to you what other people think. Again, I'm not concerned with others insecurity based on what somebody wears for headphones. For you it might be, for others it's not.
Poor assertion. But I'm not going to entertain your off-topic antics.
Incorrect, you're certainly entitled to your opinion's, which no one is prohibiting you otherwise. However, I am correct in saying that you're off topic tangents are irrelevant contrary to the actual points I made earlier. The issue is, that you didn't read the previous post quotes, therefore you're misconstruing and conflating two different things. So please, reread the previous post before commenting in this discussion. Thanks.
Users are used to buying dongles, it’s just a case

Fair enough. Have a good weekend. Misunderstanding

That was this year ?
To be honest I love the new iPad Pro 10.5, though that is an evolution and the AirPods are new
A suggestion:

Apple AirPods look good and have obvious advantages, and very competitively priced.

Another news article playing on Apple’s hype of running out. These are available at almost every major retailer in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis) including Best Buy and target. Definitely not running out for Christmas. I’m sure every other major city is just like mine. Don’t panic because you’re read something like this.
AirPods sound quite a bit better than the regular EarPods to me. As for the Studio 2s – aren't they Over-Ear headphones? What kind of comparison is that?
I saw this on their website but headed to the store anyway at opening on Friday. They only had about 9 pairs sitting on the shelves and I managed to grab one. It was an expected date of Jan. 4 when I checked online that morning. Even if a store says it doesn’t have them, try to go the next day right when they open.
Under reported. The best way to take calls. Better than any Bluetooth headset I’ve used.
Idk they’re both headphones, I thought it was a fair comparison. That’s interesting that they sound better than EarPods, I assumed it was the same tech but with a W2 chip.

In my opinion those little white things sticking out of ears can look really weird. Especially with some people’s ear shape where they’re sticking out at 40 degree angle instead of being flat against the head. Yeah, wearing white antennae looks sci-fi and weirder than traditional headphones in my opinion.
We need a MacRumors Buyer's Guide for the AirPods.
If I were a betting man I'd say wait until the refresh sometime early next year.

Reading this article as I have my glorious 'pods in my ears. They're pretty good, and the more people have them, the the more the whole "popularity" factor increases.
I'm a little pissed at a few anecdotal occurrences of misconnections / faulty connections to the phone through.

The Airpods are one of Apple's finest moment. Got mine on release day and use them every day
