So, I just got an update from Apple Support: They are going to ship out a replacement pair and it should be delivered on 11/1/21, but again, using Deliver-It....very odd....
Got a tip for us?

I had an Amazon order that was being delivered by 'Laser Delivery', or some such, and they showed the next day. That became the next day, and the next, and then 'Delivered'. I had to circle the house to find it. It looked like they did a 'drive by', and tossed it from the window of a moving vehicle. I had a couple of other packages delivered by the same outfit, and then started paying for a higher level of shipping, and occasionally had this company STILL doing the last part of the shipping process. Yikes... I actually stopped buying from Amazon because of them, and ended up needing something nearly a year later, and no 'Laser Delivery'! YIPPEE!!!
Just picked up a set from Apple store this morning, pretty impressed with them so far.
Took AC+ out but not sure it’s really needed tho

I found out my iPhone EQ was set for 'Increase Bass', but odd that even with that setting, the increased bass wasn't consistant from one track to another. Some had way increased bass, and some had no increase at all...
Been a couple of weeks and my initial feelings about them was bang on. I can keep them in my ears hours and hours, and they won't start causing aches or fall out my ears. Even while running or working on a car.
Sound is still quite annoying, never got used to it, but a week ago my workmate asked if I have tried out the spatialized audio, I hadn't because I thought it needed compatible music tracks. So then I tried that and I was amazed, suddenly gained a massive amount of bass to comfortable listening volumes and high vocal S'ses stopped hissing. Lost a lotta clarity from treble and especially vocals but I mostly listen to electronic music so it is a trade I am willing to make. And when listening to something else I can always turn spatializing off. I'm extremely happy with the AirPods now.
Congrats that you have ears compatible with the AirPods Gen 3.
Unfortunately, my ears aren’t compatible with the AirPods Gen 3. They keep falling out. My ears are compatible with the AirPods Pro though.
I can only use the Gen 3 for short bursts before they fall out.
