I'm buying day one, these are the wireless headphones I've been waiting years for. The second one-pod operation was announced I was ready to hit buy.
Got a tip for us?

Hmm, someone used an example of function over form as a justification for using something ridiculous-looking. I merely gave an equivalent example that we can all pretty much agree is ridiculous-looking and laughter inducing. Please keep up.
When they look like this, they definitely would look worse:
Keep telling yourself that, if it helps you sleep at night.
If people don't care what others think regarding AirPods, why are we talking about this at all? Clearly some of you cared enough to reply to my posts.
Anyone can go ahead and enjoy their (ridiculously funny looking) new AirPods. I'm not saying they shouldn't.
Believe me, I will enjoy their AirPods too, just like I would enjoy seeing someone with a large umbrella hat. Just like my Avatar is.
People really looked silly and ridiculous to many riding around in "horseless carriages" back when really early automobiles were appearing here and there. Kind of like those weirdos talking on phones while out in public back in the early days of mobile phones. That silliness and ridiculousness was surely well-placed and well-deserved.
Cause and effect.
You are free to laugh at someone or something you find hilarious. Can I expect you to be just as understanding if and when your antics reward you with a solid knuckle sandwich?
Or did you think "freedom of expression" meant carte blanche to act like a dick without fear of reprisals of any sort?
Go ahead. Start laughing at people wearing Airpods in public. I am daring you to.
Well for one I was replying to somebody else's post on the matter
If you wish to laugh at people who where them that's up to you. Hopefully people don't get angry about you laughing at them otherwise could end badly for you.
Or people will just think you are on a day out with your carer and won't think anything off it.
No earbud is ever going to stay in your ears 100% of the time during vigorous exercise, such as jogging. With regular earbuds, when one falls out it's dangling on the cord and you can grab it before it falls onto the ground and gets lost. If you don't use your AirPods for exercise, and if they are properly sized for your ears and properly inserted, you're probably going to be fine. But for those of us who jog, the lack of a connecting wire or string is a FAIL!
Bluetooth earphones are not perfected, therefore! they should not have removed the headphone jack. It is superior. I told yall that.
You're now dealing with a problem that I don't have to deal with. I tried to tell yall. It's not rocket science!
Please tell me what is perfected? There's nothing. Everyone has an opinion..... but now that we've heard it, enough. Go get what you like and leave us alone
Airpods seem perfected.
Except for the delivery.
The anticipation is everything.
Then, after that, there will be the next thing.
I'll have 2 Airpods perfected now. Please?
➰
Wrong. You struggle to understand and mitigate the real reasons why the 3.5 Jack was deleted. You don't know anything and look where it got you.
No need to dare. I already said I would and already am (in pics at least).
Let me make this clear, because people are getting way too bent out of shape over something that was clearly in jest:
I find AirPods funny-looking. I find people wearing AirPods funny-looking. I will laugh at them, but that doesn't mean I'll run to up to them like an idiot and point and heckle them for a crowd to see.
As far as anyone getting belligerent for me merely laughing, they might find they'll get more than they bargained for.
Let's just say, military combat experience + local concealed-weapon laws go a long way towards mitigating self-defense "reprisal" situations.
My mistake, then.
As far as it ending badly for me over (something as trivial as) this, I accept the consequences of all my actions.
But again, "I pity the fool" who tries.
For your sake, I hope they suffice in keeping you safe.
Pretty sure they will.
I'll definitely be on the lookout now for AirPods-wearing, too-sensitive-to-take-a-joke, belligerent bad-asses.
Wow! Bluetooth Isn't perfected? Who would of thought. Shocking News.....Bluetooth is evolving and expanding. Is wired technology perfect? No. Nothing is perfect. It's not rocket science! (As you were conveniently quoted.)
And when the Airpods do release, they will sell out and be backed ordered for months. Your ranted negativity won't reflect or change anything whats to come.
