Apple's AirPods are in stock today on Best Buy's website, with a free 2-day shipping option placing the wireless headphones to arrive later this week for customers in the United States. Faster one-day alternatives are available for around $20.

AirPods have had a six-week shipping estimate on Apple.com since the launch last December, and Apple has yet to give any indication when the headphones might be available sooner for customers.
Update: Best Buy is no longer showing immediate shipping on AirPods. New orders are estimated to ship in approximately two weeks, which is still sooner than Apple's six-week estimate, but may be less certain.

(View all)I don't get it. Great tech. Poor aesthetics and lack of color options make this a no go.
You're right, you don't get it. I'm not concerned with aesthetics or color, All I could ask for is functionality and these deliver. They look exactly the same as the EarPods, except with the wire cut off.I know everyone loves them and their pairing and tech are 2nd to none, but they do not look good.
I'll keep my Dash by Bragi for now.
I'm not concerned with what others think when I wear these. I actually forget I even wear these, that's how comfortable they are for me. Apple will eventually expand on the colors. But I understand they are not for everyone.

Aesthetics are entirely subjective; I actually prefer the AirPods to the Dash, and not in a lesser-of-two-evils way. The Dash sticks out away from user's head and looks rotund, while the AirPods have a narrow stalk that runs parallel to the side of the user's head. IMO, the latter is more understated.I know everyone loves them and their pairing and tech are 2nd to none, but they do not look good.

I don't care how they look. I can't see them when they're in my ears. I can only hear them, and they sound good. Add that to the convenience of no cords and it's the best headphone purchase I've ever made.I know everyone loves them and their pairing and tech are 2nd to none, but they do not look good.

I still use my AirPods every single day. Easily the best purchase I've made thus far this year.

Apple will expand on the colors of AirPods just like Apple expanded on the colors of EarPods: they have not and will not.
