I thought I've seen somewhere that if you only put one in, and then close the case, the music automatically switches to mono-audio for that side. Not certain about that and it doesn't solve the volume problem

I've been using the Bragi Dash soon after they started shipping. In many ways, it's similar to the AirPods with two wireless earbuds and a charging/carrying case. For those people saying they are not going to get AirPods because they are going to lose one, well that is a possibility, but it would take some real carelessness to lose one. The freedom of no wires whatsoever is worth the minuscule risk. The charging/carrying case is a good stop gap solution to the battery life concern. Bragi's last about 3-4 hours on one charge, and the AirPods are supposed to be much longer. Bragi's have some connectivity issues, and if Apple has solved that with the new chip, then a small degradation in sound quality is acceptable to me for the rock solid connection. I feel like it's a safe assumption that the sound quality will be better on the Bragi vs the AirPods, but we shall see. The added functionality of being able to transfer sounds from my iPad to my iPhone or MacBook is a pretty large plus for me. So this is a no brainer for me to check out day one.
TL;DR Losing one is a very minor concern, and I'm going to be trying them out Day One.

I'm waiting for the first thread saying "One of my Airpods fell out and landed in dog turd"
Most people will probably use their phone to adjust the volume. Siri seems like a really terrible way.
I was able to pick up the Belkin dual lightning port adapter this weekend via Apple in store pickup which was super convenient. It's still "Coming soon" on the Belkin website -- not available from them yet.
I really hope the same thing will be available when AirPods come out (the Apple Store employee I talked to thought it was likely around Oct 28th when Nike+ Watch launches). My Apple Pencil was a royal PITA to find locally at launch. I'm worried AirPods will be the same. :/

Can't you just order online and let them come to you whenever they get there instead of waiting on a store?
When will we be able to place an order for the AirPods?
I spoke to an Apple rep at the store in Hong Kong and he said that it will be available at the end of the month but no exact date. It will also only be available in White. No black.

10/25 seems to be the most common guess. No black at launch, but I'd bet on colors eventually.
My guess (nothing backing it up at all) is that they will be available to order on 10/27, the day of the event next week. I am going to get them to use while at work and at home. I have an Apple Watch so that will be a way for me to adjust volume if out walking and I don't want to use my phone. Not that anyone cares but that's my thought.
Don't count on other colors. The iconic white headphones are synonymous with Apple's brand. The phone might be in your pocket but people know it's Apple because of the headphones. This was pure marketing genius and they're not going to dilute brand recognition with other colors. It would be like expecting the BMW logo to come in other colors... won't happen.
They also seem to think that everyone has the exact same shaped ears as they do.
I do think the post was a bit tongue in cheek though. At least I hope so.
perhaps not sticking to your ears because you have them clean, try not to wash them for a while...
This is hilarious. What does your workout consist of standing upright singing?your hilarious I workout extremely hard I can say for a fact the wired ones suck in the gym just like these will not to mention they aren't sweat proof. If you want them say you want them don't make excuses that's totally not true. Before you ware your time with words provide a video of you working out with the wired ones n then these.

I'm glad you work out hard bro, that must be great bro. High five bro?
A person will go into an store if they like the look and try them out for themselves bro. they'll shake their head etc and if they don't fall out, they'll probably buy them. headphones staying on is a major concern for any headphone buyer, believe it or not bro. If you don't want them, that's fine bro. Less typing, more lifting, bro.
I bet it will just say "Fall" like the BeatsX. After Apple made that defeated official statement yesterday they are basically saying "We are shooting for before Christmas".

Yea probably, they have confirmed that they have been delayed. Maybe they will say something at today's event.
Thanksgiving. The delay is likely supply issues. Doesn't seem time to change anything mechanically, considering the review units were distributed.
The website actually just says unavailable now. Must have just removed the ship date.
