I'm having a battle with redditors saying that this is a "scam" "i'm a paid youtuber" lol these just make me laugh !
I ordered with paypal, if they reject the order ill get my money back plain and simple.
Nothing to be scared about.
Post from reddit below "I got my M1 mac mini from them heres the tracking for the mini saying it was delivered. [ Here's the two orders (Macmini and airpods max) [ I ordered them, when I receive them.. I will post. I have no affiliation with them.... I'm just a guy that likes to save a dollar every chance I get.. Background on Expercom Mac rumors and all the rest of the apple websites advertises it. Same with adromama [https://www.adorama.com/brands/Apple](https://www.adorama.com/brands/Apple) That’s how I found about them.. it’s definitely no scam.. I was skeptical about them at first but my M1 Mac mini came in with no issue. (Faster than apples estimate even.)

I've been wearing them 2-3 hours now.. First I connected them to my M1 mac mini running 11.2 DB1 and they sounded absolutely terrible..
Couldn't figure it out.. Hard reset them, rebooted the mini.. Still same issue.. I then connected them to my iPhone 12 Pro Max and its like I put on a different pair of headphones..
Weird because my airpods pro is the other way around.. They sound absolutely terrible on the iPhone and they sound like another pair of earbuds when connected to the mini... Whats going on here?
I even made a thread for the huge increase in quality (from the pros) when connected to a mac.

This makes no sense. An item that is in this much demand has a site selling it for 100 off? I dont buy it for a single second.
I didn't believe it, ether and now i'm wearing them. Ordered on the 16th and got it yesterday.
Apparently the $100 off was a mistake, now if you go to expercom and add it to the cart and use the discount code its now only a total of $40 off. But they decided to honor the folks orders (including my order) before they caught it.
A discount is still a discount in my eyes.
Ordered on the 16th it already said "out of stock" and got them yesterday (i'm in texas) they shipped via fedex.
Take a look at my responses in this thread (it's about APP sounding good on iPhone and bad on Mac, but might provide some insight).
Airpods pro sounds better on iPhone than Macbook Pro...
I just stumbled onto something that, while not a complete answer, is at least a substantial clue. I hadn't listened through my Bose NC700 headphones in a while, and when I went to use them today (with my MBP), I was surprised that they didn't really sound all that good... had a somewhat...

Short version: selecting the headphones from the AirPlay icon menu in the Music app (not just the main menubar sound menu) resulted in good quality, but this was apparently just a temporary glitch (which may have been resolved by quitting/reopening the Music app), as it now doesn't matter whether I do this, quality is the same (good).
