So I got mine, and tried using the 'ole lighting to 3.5mm dongle and it simply does not work. Then shortly after my right side stopped working until I put it back in the bra case....strange. I thought I shorted them out, surely this isn't possible...
Unfortunately you need the special Apple lightning to 3.5 adapter, that’s the only one I’ve been able to make work. Otherwise, these things are Solid! Sound amazing, super comfortable, and I love the space grey. Got mine this morning FedEx, in SoCal. Still hurts my wallet, but the few hours I just spent immersed in music makes it worth it. Also way faster at switching devices than the AirPod Pros, its immediate.

Verizon has green, blue, and green available to ship 12/18. Had to pick up a blue. Need to see it in person before I decide between SG and blue.

No shipping yet but it did say it’ll ship by the 18th so they have some days left before I start getting super panicky. The main thing that worries me is the order number they provide when you buy from them apparently is useless. I can’t track anything myself with it and on the chat they had no idea what to do with it. They give you an “internet order number“ as opposed to a regular order number 🤷‍♂️

Man, it is impossible to get a good idea of what the blue ones look like. I went to the Union Square Apple Store (in SF), and they said they weren't able to demo/show any of them due to covid restrictions. I guess the only option is to order one and see what they look like in person. I mean, how are these even the same color?

You can track it on Verizon order page with the internet order number and location number mine says processing still and the ship date is the same 12/18 if it doesn’t change by then I will call them since I already got charged for it so it should ship soon

All week my Best Buy order has said it was going to ship by today. After not receiving any tracking info today I decided to call Customer Service. The rep told me they “accidentally” sold more than they were getting from apple, and as far as he could tell I am on backorder. The rep was honestly confused, because he could see it was supposed to ship today at the latest. I think this is SUPER CRUMMY and I’m super disappointed in Best Buy. I WILL NOT PREORDER ANYTHING FROM BB AGAIN - EVER.

I just learned that Apple store near me is re-opening this Thursday, Dec 17th. Decided to check stock availability and sure enough it showed available for pick up on the 17th. Grrr. I know earlier I said it looks ugly, that still stands but ordered one for in-store pick up and we'll see how good this will be. Personally for me, most reviews won't do much justice, I need to experience it myself to see if I like it o not. I'll be picking up the silver model.

Sorry for double message: but feel it’s important to note that in addition to this, they could not provide any sort of time table for when it will ship. Simply that it is ok backorder. Lame!

Mine doesn’t even say when it’s shipping now and I can’t cancel... so if mine ended up in this situation I’ll be a bit sad but whatever I guess

Just had the best buy status change to:

This item has been delayed. We’re working on shipping it to you within the next few days.

E-mail says:

Delayed orders are typically fulfilled within a few days. As soon as your item becomes available we'll send an e-mail letting you know it's on the way. However, due to increased shipping volume, delivery of your order may be affected.

lolol Apple shipping my blue ones UPS Next Day Air Saver. UPS said arriving today (15th); nope Apple didn't hand them over. Apple's shipping confirmation email says tomorrow (16th); seems unlikely as they still haven't given them to UPS. Order status says 15th to 17th. My weirdest shipping experience with Apple was earlier this year with my case for the new phone. Shipped FedEx, still have three canceled shipments on my account from Apple for it.

I had no intention of buying these, but I didn't get a pair of Nike I wanted in the SNKRS app, so I said f**k it headphones

Ya but this isn’t the “typical” order. Apple doesn’t even have a solid supply of these. It’s not like Best Buy can acquire them immediately, like they typically could for most other products

My cancel button greyed out this morning which usually means the item is about to ship soon (and its still greyed out). I'm sure this is a automated delayed message because the ETA ship date was today. I think they'll be shipped in the next few days. I can't complain cause i had $100 off due to Best Buy gift cards.

I ordered a space gray and silver and both arrived today. An extra silver may have arrived by mistake too
🤯🤯🤯
Free pair of $550 headphones will not get any complaints from me 😃

I get a 404 error when i try to track them off the link on the email and a “We do not have a record of order number” error when I try to track them manually off their Check Order Status page: https://www.verizon.com/od/cust/orderStatusIndex#/

am I looking in the right spot??

Are you a Verizon member by any chance? Also, if you don’t mind saying, what was your payment method? I bought two different colors, one on the 10th with PayPal, and one today with Apple Pay and I wonder if not paying with a card is what is not letting it go through.
