I did exactly that and I think that it has made up my mind not to get the airpods. I just don't find them comfortable for longer periods of time. I think I may try out the Beats X instead.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry I should have put, because they are by apple, but I thought even a 10 year old would know what was meant.
I drive a VW and about 10% of it is made by VW but it's still a VW
i have the jaybird freedom f5, they have amazing sound quality but there bluetooth connection is meh. always have to toggle audio source when going from music to facebook videos. Always disconencting from my watch as well when i have both it and the iphone paired. hopeing the icloud pairing works as advertised to switch flawlessly from my iphone to apple watch when i go on runs, if so this alone will be worth the price tag. Ive gotten over their ugliness lol
Well, we know the Samsung fanboys won't buy them because they are made by Apple, then there will be those that buy them, return them, and simply complain about how crappy Apple made them and what a waste of money they are. Happens all the time here. If someone thinks they sound good to them, then that is all that matters...not what some other person tells them sound better.
Do you like the sound quality of the wired EarPods? I mean, they're OK, but not the best. From what I've read from both Wired and The Verge, sound quality of AirPods is on par with EarPods which to them means NOT okay.

Providing all the Samsung boys haven't been burnt by their Note 7's
Personally I won't get them because they(if like the wired ones) will fall out of my ears at the slightest movement of my head.
Just buy and try - Apple accepts returns on opened products, my store told me people even buy Mac Book Pro's and return at end of month, then rebuy etc
I'm Confident the AirPods will sound more adequate than the wired ear pods. More so, I think the comfortability is going to be key over the sound. If they're not comfortable, you won't wear them. Therefore, the sound would be negated no matter how good they are. There definitely not the most appealing looking, but I think it's a step in the right direction for Apple. And I definitely see these evolving into more discrete and innovative way.
The controller on the Freedoms isn't too cumbersome? It's probably less of an issue if you wear it over your ears.
The tech behind the AirPods is cool but they look like two q-tips tbh. Anyone concerned about sound quality is better off with a pair of Beats. The best drivers in the world won't do much without proper isolation and fit.

Maybe you should phrase your posts for adults?
It was just a smart a$$ retort made by him. Maybe he was miffed it wasn't designed or made in the land down under.Sorry I should have put, because they are by apple, but I thought even a 10 year old would know what was meant.

Absolutely! If they don't start designing in Oz soon, I'll be done with Apple!!! And I'll be sure to start at least three threads on MRF about it...

Or you could try being one
BTW why does your post have a ? mark, it is not a question?
I am not concerned for the sound quality, Samsung has delivered with its IconX I tried. Apple should be able to match.
Will the darn things stay in my ears? I am not concerned about lookin dorky to tell the truth, give me good sound and nice fit.

Says the kid who doesn't know that proper nouns (like Apple) have to be capitalised.

Well now I have Jaybirds x2 for $79 and the other day I bought a pair of B&W P5 s2 also at BB for $149. I know the latter is not wireless but I have the x2s for that so I am set. I may try the Airpods but with the delay at least I have options at great prices that I Purchased.
I returned the Gear icon X, not worth the money.
