I'm excited to say that I won! They emailed me and I ordered a pair in space gray (I could choose between gloss black, matte black, and space gray). I was amazed when I saw the email and responded right away. So yes, people do really win these contests! I've been wanting a pair of AirPods, and I'm soooo happy to win this particular prize. Thanks again MacRumors and BlackPods! I've been a daily MacRumors reader for more years than I can remember.
To make this a little more real... some of you may know me by virtue of my Mac Keyboard Shortcuts website
danrodney.com/mac so you know what a big Apple/Mac fan I am.
