Thanks! I probably would have bought the airpods from a third party seller if I was not a Deaf Cochlear Implant patient haha. I didn't want to risk with any issues in returning them with third party sellers so it made sense for me to buy directly from Apple anyways. Especially since I'm going to be experimenting with the APM and seeing if they actually work for me with my implants! Keeping my fingers crossed that they will work well with my implants.Hopefully you will love them. I bought mine from Target and they gave me 3 weeks of return window
I thought about that too. But I'm ok with waiting. My APM delivery date is estimated to be between March 11 and March 18th. So that's about a month from now. It didn't seem like a long time considering that I have to wait a little bit longer to replace a part for my implants sometimes (a coil replaced, battery, or a whole new processor or earmold). Plus I'm working remotely at home for the time being due to this pandemic so I'll be ok too!
Just to follow up on this, I returned them to B&H and they received them and received a new shipment of them, so my replacement pair was shipped out yesterday and I'll be receiving them tomorrow. Hope these are actually sealed.
Someone a few weeks ago suggested if the clamp force was too strong try stretching out the headphones a bit on a box/speaker/books. I used my xbox series x box (lol) to stretch them out for two hours and it's made a noticeable difference in the comfort level for sure. A lot of that headache inducing clamp force is gone. I also found the cushions a bit itchy so I need cleaned them thoroughly and let them air dry. They really are quite nice now. Still on the heavier side but getting more comfortable the more I use them. Sound quality is fantastic.
Heads up, a silver pair up on Amazon warehouse for 400 bucks

Just got notice from Apple that my blue APM ordered Dec 08 have shipped from Ontario. Due here Feb 19.
Congrats man! Just curious, are they using fedex or ups?
Finally a light at the end of this tunnel for the rest of us. 😂
...and what was the original delivery date pls? just for my curious alter ego who’s checking his blue apm will change order status that was ordered for eons
Blue APM ordered from US Apple Store on Dec 17, with arrival projected for Feb 17-Mar 3 have just gone to PTS. Charges for the APM and for associated AppleCare show as pending on my Apple Card. Tangible progress at last. Now waiting for shipment notice.
Could be dicey because of the nasty weather forecast for next week throughout most of the country. But at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

When I ordered on 08 Dec it was mid March. Soon after they moved it up to end of Feb - early March where it was stuck until now. They just changed the date to 18 Feb. FedEx.

I finally received my replacements from B&H yesterday and open up the box and this set is brand new and sealed.
I‘ve been listening to them for about 45 minutes now and I’m pretty impressed. I understand what people are saying about clamping force, but I’m assume they‘ll loosen up as time goes by. Or I’ll do the trick people suggest and stretch them out with some books or something.
All in all I like them so far, sound quality is great, ANC seems to be fantastic as well.

Mine are coming FedEx Priority Overnight from San Bernardino, CA—so shipping from US stock, not coming from manufacture in China. This improves the likelihood of a timely arrival.
Delivery supposedly Monday 2/15 but with the weather it could be later. Here’s hoping it gets here Monday, as projected, because the snow that’s bogging down the middle part of the US is coming here Monday night into Tuesday.
I’m hoping this indicates they’ve built up a decent stockpile on this section of the globe. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly they advance through blue orders.
Also (selfishly) keeping my fingers crossed that stores will receive some of this stock. Wouldn’t mind jumping the cue... 😉
Yeah mine was in Kentucky but got delayed as it was supposed to be delivered today. Not sure if it has made it to the Chicago hub or not for delivery tomorrow...the storm was a good one
Yeah, Elsa is definitely pissed at us Chicagoans for some reason. 😂😂😂
Lucky you! The problem in the US is that both FedEx (Memphis) and UPS (Louisville) have their major hubs in cities in the South, which usually improves on time performance. However, when snow and ice hit, Southern states are woefully unprepared. A snowfall that would be barely a blip in Canada (or Vermont, where I live) can tie everything in knots for days, if not a week. I just hope this storm doesn’t massively delay vaccine shipments, but I fear it will.
mine arrived earlier this morning after being a day delayed due to snow storm. Cliff note version of my thoughts so far: they are heavy in the hands, yet they feel light on my head and keep my ears comfy like ear warmers lol. So far for the past 5hrs-ish of using them for work and listening to music, they are great and sound better than the AirPods Pros. You can't beat the portability of the AirPods Pros though.
