I'm sorry, my brain is having a kernel panic reading someone who says "Y'all" and then refers to being "Up here". 😄
Got a tip for us?

I was too lazy to type “you all”. Plus I thought “y’all” might sound more endearing to Americans.
You all were extremely lucky. There... did that fix your kernel panic? 😉😂
Ordered mine (Space Gray) on 22nd February, got them yesterday (3rd March) in Switzerland (original delivery window was 1 week later)
But most probably will go back to Apple, their performance is of course better than Airpods Pro but not 3x better (price) and I don't find them really comfortable (too heavy on the head)...

Looks like my APM SG won't arrive till Monday at the latest. I haven't received the tracking info today, so I doubt they'll arrive tomorrow — the order status still says processing. So hopefully I'll get some updated information about my APM tonight or tomorrow! A bit of a bummer that I won't be getting them just yet. But still excited!My delivery date for my SG APM has been updated! The original delivery dates were March 11-18 which has now been changed to March 5th-8th. Now i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll arrive by the end of this week!Getting excited!
I know how you feel, but cheer up. Mar 9 is on the other side of this weekend. The pattern for blue (so far) appears to be movement just a couple days before the early estimate. So... there could be an update as early as tomorrow.Ordered Jan 3rd, SkyBlue w/ engraving.
Delivery has been and still is Mar 9th to 23rd.
Was hoping to get them early, but that window is closing.
I’m about to complete my 12th week of “processing”. My estimate is Mar 17-24. If it doesn’t come before the 17th, I’ll have waited the full 14 weeks I was originally quoted. 😂
My friend engraved sky blue quoted for Mar 1-15 delivery, cc was charged on the fourth, now preparing for shipment which might also add couple of days.Ordered Jan 3rd, SkyBlue w/ engraving.
Delivery has been and still is Mar 9th to 23rd.

Mine was expected Mar 31 and i canceled last Wed since local authorised store have in stock of that rare blue one 😊
Officially throwing my hat in the ring with an order for the blues, due to deliver between -- ugh -- April 14-21. The kids head back to school full-time in early April, which means I'll be back in my office full-time then too. Figured after a year of limited work (I'm a headshot photographer), working weekends, and home-schooling, I earned this one. I had a giant credit built up with Apple from trade-ins and the sort so they're only costing about $50 on the AC. Very excited, but hate this wait!

I also got the dates changed to March 5th-8th but still "processing" status. We're March 5th and not even preparing for shipmentMy delivery date for my SG APM has been updated!

Looks like there's a problem.
I ordered space grays on 2/11 with expected delivery March 12-19. About a week ago it updated to March 5-8. Yipee!
I just noticed it changed to March 16-23! Bummer!
According to the website, If I ordered today I should expect delivery March 22-29.
Something is going on. I've ordered hundreds of Apple product, and they arrive on or before expected date. I've never had date ranges shift three times in different directions.
I'm guessing they are having trouble with consistent high yields on their production line, or perhaps a parts shortage, making it hard to predict production quantities.

You could be right about inconsistent yields. However this looks like more of a “my bad” move. Your new estimate is only 4 days longer than the original. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks to see anyone’s dates get delayed. I feel for you guys.
In the past we’ve seen existing orders with far off estimates get bumped up (by the same timeframe) whenever Apple shortens their estimate on new orders. Perhaps all of yours got advanced accidentally, since this past week SG moved from 3-4 -> 2-3 wks. For whatever reason it seems like these direct online orders are the lowest priority to fulfill. We’ve all pretty much had to wait till our estimate, except for a few lucky buggers.

Just ordered light blue today. I’ve never had headphones anywhere near this expensive, however like most apple products I’ve talked myself into buying them 🤦♂️. I’m sure I will use them, just not sure which use cases I’ll prefer the Max vs my Pro’s. Estimated April 20-27.
Has anyone been lucky with finding one at a local Apple Store? Since they've reopened them, I've been checking inventory of local stores. No luck, save for a pink version available at a store 30 miles away. No thanks.
One of the few products I’m ok waiting for. I will take the time to ensure I still want it as it is clearly expensive. I am not an ‘audiophile’ or anything, just hoping it’s more comfortable to wear for long periods than the Pro and maybe more immersive.
I tried them on at one of the apple stores here in Toronto and it felt very comfortable.
Most reviews I’ve seen here and elsewhere say the same, with a few exceptions. I used to shy away from over ear headphones because my glasses always made them uncomfortable. Now that I don’t have glasses anymore, I figure I can take the plunge.
That’s interesting... the US isn’t all that different from here in Canada. I wonder where all the stock is going?Has anyone been lucky with finding one at a local Apple Store?

I’ve been checking daily for a couple weeks now. I don’t think we’ve gotten stock since early Feb, in any colour. My province’s stores are completely bone-dry. C’mon Apple, throw us something lol.
I'm actually really interested to see what you think of them. You're the most unique use case I've seen so far and I really hope they live up to everything you hope they'll be.
