I already lost one of mine. So annoying.

Verizon Wireless has these in stock right now for immediate shipping!
Just grabbed a pair for 2-day shipping. I'm pumped to join the party.
Has anybody had their local store show availability for in-store pickup in the past 5 days or so? No matter where I search it seems like nobody has been getting any stock of these.

Do Apple stores have replacement stock? I er...had a mishap last night and lost my left one.
Nothing in NYC, but it's the day after Christmas and all. They had no stock, and no replacement stock for my missing left bud, and had to order special for delivery this week.
edit: my mistake, I missed the part about avails for in-store pick-up. I'd imagine on Apple.com, if they show up at all, it would be the first 15-30 minutes after they open, if at all.
Mine showed up as in stock at 11:15am, about 2 hours after they opened. All depends on when they get delivered and when they're logged into their system.
Ordered these on the 21st from Best Buy, they said the would be shipped like 2/12 or so...they shipped today and will be on Thursday!
$160 is a deal? How are these worth it over other Bluetooth earphones?
You should do some research on completely wireless earbuds before making a post like a that, would take you 30 seconds
Maybe you should because they're a shit ton less than these airpods. Are these supposed to be better sounding than wired earpods? Because those are average sounding pack-in earbuds and if these are just wireless versions of those I don't get the price.

Just came across the iFixit teardown while I was looking for info on the charging case.
Pretty interesting. https://ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Teardown/75578
Btw, do they turn off at all? I feel asleep while listening to some music last night and set the timer to stop playback after 20mins just in case that happens (to save phone battery). Woke up to the AirPods having about 70% charge (down from 100%). So I guess as long as they are paired they still draw battery?
They fell out of my ears eventually but I didn't pay attention whether or not they were still paired. Probably not gonna use them for late night listening again![]()
Man, the soft plastic they use for the case scratches up like a mofo, reminds me of the shit that tey used on the very first iPods.
Oh well, doesn't really matter how the case looks I guess!

AT&T's website has them in stock, and it doesn't say anywhere that they are backordered. What are the chances that they are actually in stock, ready to ship out today?

Welp, went ahead and ordered a set. We'll see if they actually end up shipping on time or not. I guess I can always cancel them if they don't.
I'm in the exact same boat right now. Have you tried contacting ATT?

Nah. I'm just going to see whether or not I get a shipment e-mail later today. If not, then I may give them a call tomorrow.
Regarding AT&T, I ordered from them last week (and just paid for normal shipping) but I received mine yesterday. People on Reddit said if you did expedited shipping, you got it in 2 days. Definitely worth trying if it doesn't show that it's back ordered!
Wtf. I asked them about replacing a lost one and they gave me the run around for hours. Total waste of time. Gotta love that Apple inconsistency.Got the call from my local store that they had a new left AirPod for me to replace my lost one. Got there and no one knew what I was talking about. The awesome sales rep just took a new box, opened it up, gave me the new egg, took my old one, and sent me on my way with a "Merry Christmas!"
When Apple nails customer service they really nail customer service. I was thrilled.

I think something is wrong with my kit. I witnessed some awfully short battery life of the case on my second charge and decided to collect data during the third. This is how it turned out with ONE hour of AirPods music playback usage in these 48 hours.
Can't possibly be right (or Apple used some awfully whitewashed process to come up with the "1 full charging case = 24h battery life for AirPods" ad).
What are your experiences?
I've just seen this tip a few minutes ago. I'll charged the case to 100% again and will try the reset trick afterwards. I hope it helps, no Apple Store near me and quite frankly I don't want to return them blindly via mail without a replacement in handThat seems odd. One thing I'd just like to ask is have you tried resetting the AirPods by pressing and holding the setup button on the case for fifteen seconds until it flashes amber and then flashes white? If not, try that and see if the battery life improves at all or if you're experiencing the same drain.
In my experience, the case does consume some battery while in standby, but nothing drastic.
5. The lack of wires is surprisingly awesome. I never really thought about how annoying they can be. I was walking around my apartment tidying up, cleaning dishes, laying down on the couch, and I never had a wire getting caught on something. I read some impressions of a person saying these are amazing at the gym because there are no wires getting caught on things. It's been a while since I worked out (sigh) but I do remember that being a huge annoyance with my phone and wired earbuds. These would be great in that situation.
