I also have "upper echelon" wired headphone setup.

The wired connection sounds better out of a decent source than BT. $35 is pretty cheap for an "audiophile upgrade"
The ANC doesn't interfere or mess with the sound signature. You might want to give it a try. I was quite surprised with the result. YMMV.

In other news:
My BB order (12/8 order date) is sitting in PA at the hub with no updates on tracking. Thanks USPS.
Usps has been awful. What shouldve been monday has now been updated to jan 4th. Like tf...seriously

My Target order from December 8th (blue) just changed from “preordered” to “back ordered” with a delivery estimate of September 10-15 (?????). This is the oddest order I’ve had from Target.

Ordered SG after watching iJustine review lol, tipped me over the edge haha, delivery 5/1. Cant return as bought from a retailer. Will see. Beats studio 3 i have are sweaty and not comfy with glasses.
I ordered some as well but I’m not sure how much I would let iJustine influence me... she’s always 1000% hype on any video about anything from Cupertino lol

Yeah she did say that herself, it was more the colour and wearing with glasses, and comfort, will see. Have to be better than my beats studio 3 lol. I can’t wear apple in ears and the heat here with The beats is horrible. Australia.

Finally an update allegedly shifting to usps today
Same situation for me, went from fedex to USPS last night. The headphones are now further away from me than when fedex got them, lol. Argh. I guess I will not get them till Jan 5th after all.

Lol, now I am thoroughly confused. Seems fedex ground is handling this not USPS after all and with an overnight update now it is about 20 miles from me. Delivery date changed from the 5th to the 2nd. Maybe I can get it today since it is so close. It says “in transit, on truck for delivery 4:01am”. Like I said I am thoroughly confused.

This is for Target Sky Blue ordered Dec 28th, 8:00pm. No update from t-mobile for SG. Last one showed we are processing your order, whatever the heck that means. It takes a week to process an order? Geez Louise.

If it says on truck for delivery than you should receive today.

I had just about resigned myself to waiting out the ridiculously long delivery lead times, but then noticed my local Apple Store had space grey and silver in stock for collection so I had a drive out there yesterday morning to pick up the silver ones.

I couldn't decide between Space Grey and Silver (I would have been tempted by Green if they had a green headband), but in the end decided I preferred the "classic apple" look of the silver ones :)

Score! Lucky little I snagged from target. Apples dates are so far out And I don’t think I coulda waited that long.

Been there with Fedex lots of times and it does not arrive. It says it is on a fedex truck for delivery and supposedly gets to the carrier station showing what time and shortly thereafter it gives an in transit status. Maybe it means it is in transit to the carrier station.

To be fair though, it originally was suppose to be delivered Jan 5th and got moved up to the 2nd which it still shows. Here’s hoping I get it then.

Yo, after having these for 24hrs, I have to say....I am absolutely in love with these! I connected them, listened to a couple of bass heavy tracks in my 💻 and OMG....I’m so in love!
