?? Why does anyone need to charge their earpods on their MBP? They inherently have better options. They definitely shouldnt have included 2 cables, that's crazy. An option, perhaps but not 2.. Then 95% of people would end up with a wasted cable. Apple don't like doing that.
Or you can do what I did. I had a friend in Australia buy them this morning. He shipped them 3 day air around the world counter clockwise so I received them last Friday. Been listening all weekend.
It's Monday morning in New Zealand and Australia, which means the first customers who placed orders for Apple's new AirPods have begun receiving them according to reports from MacRumors readers.
Deliveries are taking place across the two countries now, and Apple retail stores in Australia have also begun selling AirPods to customers.

In Australia, people who were hoping to get AirPods in store lined up early ahead of store openings, and as expected, supplies have been somewhat limited. At some stores, only a handful of AirPods were available, while others appear to have gotten more stock.
Customers who have received their EarPods are so far pleased with them. MacRumors reader Jason was impressed with how easy they were to sync and the sound quality. We'll have more first impressions a bit later as more customers receive their orders.
Based on early information coming from Australia, customers in Asia, the United Kingdom, and the United States will likely want to get to Apple retail locations before they open for the best shot at getting a set on launch day.
Apple has said retail stores will receive regular stock going forward, and third-party retailers like Best Buy are also going to be receiving AirPods stock starting tomorrow.
AirPods orders in other countries will begin arriving as Monday morning arrives. For customers who were not able to pre-order, purchasing AirPods in the store will be the only way to get them before January, as orders placed today will not ship out for six weeks in many countries.

If you think that may be a problem you might want to put some thought into where you leave them 'cause a fine tip marker ain't do crap in identifying your gear if it gets rubbed off.
It's weird people are dissing this design as it's seemingly an exact replica of the official Apple in ear headphones of a couple of years ago. My one's remote has non rounded edges, and mine were bought directly from Apple ages ago, but Apple did revise the design slightly (according to their official images on Apple.com, they rounded the control like yours) so maybe they changed the packaging at the same time? Has anyone bought any directly from Apple recently?Super comfortable.
... and cheap on eBay.
I wouldn't want in-ear headphones without silicon buds for free.
How are they in noisy conditions like walking around where there is a lot of traffic?
Actually, it does. They have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profit. That means not including what would be an extra part for 97% of users at no cost, or charging the 97% for that same extra part and losing sales because of an obvious upcharge that is useless.
Uh wrong. Where have you been? We've long known about flying counter clockwise to travel negatively through time. Copernicus proved this definitively in 1540. His experiments were validated in 1718 by Sir Isaac Newton and most recently replicated by Sheldon Cooper in 2014. These are facts. No one denies this. You should educate yourself. I suggest starting with the works of Nathan Poe and his law and following up with an in depth read of the Unicode section dealing with emoji.
Does a single tap do anything? Or is a double tap the only control that can be switched from Siri to stop/pause?
I'm hoping for Monday delivery. I'm in phoenix too and mine are at the TN hub right now.
I agree. Seems like our first wave orders should deliver same day as in store. Mine still shows the 20th though.
