I see bestbuy has the green, silver, and black ships by 12/15. I want the blue one, I’m a bit late to the party.
target has black and silver. Everything else is sold out. I live in the USA.
$412 is insane, $549 is Mentally Unhinged Stalker Killer Crazy
I think at this point your better bet is to check your local store stock if you want these sooner. That's how I got my HomePod Minis without waiting till almost-January. Of course, that's not an option for everyone, but we have 8 Apple Stores within acceptable driving distance here and I'd soon check all of them before waiting till March.
This product is out of my price range, but I'd buy it if I could!

Do you really think $550 is too much for headphones? Lol, as a musician, no, it isn't, believe me.
Anyway, Apple never makes cheap electronics, why are people, even people that are acquainted with Apple always so shocked with their pricing? They've been doing that for years, decades even. They just made extremely high-quality headphones and priced them accordingly.
In any case, this opinion will change, as it always does, in a few months...
If you think they're expensive, you'd probably be happier with cheaper, less expensive headphones. Some of Apple's pricing is clearly the luxury/lifestyle brand pricing. Some however, is the tech. I'm willing to bet these headphones compete well against headphones that cost thousands... The spatial audio in the AirPods Pro is mind-blowing. That spatial audio in cans with computational audio is likely to be worth every cent they're charging.
Bottom line is that for people who love music, and have the money, this is a no-brainer IMHO.

I wonder if you can connect these to the ps5 and use it as a gaming headset.
Every item, except AirPods Max, is replacing the previous model that was sold for about 80%-100% of the purchase price. I was able to sell at the right time, for some cheap upgrades. I only regret was getting the iPad Pro. I would have returned it, but I had already sold my old one.
Thanks for the tips everyone. Apple gave me a March date but heard about Best Buy and ordered from there for Dec 31. Thank you!
Don't think you can at least not directly. Consoles don't support Bluetooth audio.
Huge thanks to the person who suggested buying it from BB in this thread. Apple was showing Feb for the engraved or March for the non-engraved at the time I bought this from BB with Dec 15 ship date! I'm kinda hoping it shows up on Dec 15, but, we'll see I guess..
I just got a pair from Best Buy because everything is 12-14 weeks from Apple. Best Buy says its shipping on Dec. 15. Does anyone know if that likely to be untrue? Do they get their own stock?
