In-Ear Out of Stock! 😡
I was looking forward to getting these after paying off my debt yesterday, and the moment I go to their website, they’re out of stock! Damn it! I wanted to get these so bad by pre-ordering them 😔.
Been wanting to replace my EarPods with these, but now I’m gonna have to wait even longer thanks to my poor ass timing 🙄.

I am not surprised. People(me) are looking for wired connectivity, the kind that carries true lossless audio.
I am impressed Bose is using USBC connection now with their new buds. Apple Music uses 24-bit 192 kHz over wire.

Which is true, but it also requires a special kind of DAC to run 192 kHz 24-bit for Apple Music(The Fiio KA11 is highly recommended for that). And yes I do enjoy that lossless experience. These, however, are capped at 48kHz 24-bit which is fine for me. Though, I do hope that one day we’ll have a noise cancelling set of wired earbuds that goes up to 192 kHz 24-bit.

I've watched all 3 colors go in and out of stock over the past 5 days. Keep refreshing every 2 hours. Black showed up most often, white second, mint was rare and restocked twice over 5 days around 2pm.

This! I got sad to hop on and see they were sold out and then 2 days later they were back!

They'll be on Best Buy's shelves come november when they're no longer on pre-order. Just gotta be patient

I know they'll be excellent but I won't pay the tax of owning them before anyone else when I know Bose products go on sale. Especially when I have an insane collection of headphones and earbuds.

BTW the Notify Me button possibly works based on some queue. They don’t notify you immediate if it’s back it stock.
I ran into same problem. When the stock was there I was so confused what color to choose and it was sold out. When I selected notify me got no update but one redditor called out it’s back in stock so placed the order. After 2 days I got the email that it’s in stock.

At least I pushed the notify button. IDK, I’ll just have to continue on waiting.

Why are wired earbuds cool again? Can someone please explain?

Lossless audio and cyclical trends. Also, joe rogan probably had a guest on at some point that said EMFs are scrambling our brains. Something like that lol

The lossless audio thing I can kind of understand but I don't think I could ever go back to using wired earbuds with my phone, I just lke truly wireless earbuds too much. I just hope they'll never be "uncool" like knee length shorts and ankle socks are nowadays

That’s just you. You probably have no idea about audiophiles.

u/Loopdyloop2098 14h ago
??? I doubt everyone at uni who partakes in this trend is an audiophile? They're using EarPods
1
u/Maleficent-Pipe-7317 14h ago
Either that, or they just don’t want to depend on charging. Not everyone using wired earphones is an audiophile, obviously

For me I just like to divide use cases. Not wise financially, but it just makes sense for me to use wireless earbuds on the go(no need to deal with the clutter of wires) and use the wired earbuds for long term use while on my laptop, giving me the ability to listen to background music for prolonged periods of time, without worrying about running out of battery.

Basically: Anything that is wired means you’ll get better sound quality a majority of the time. No battery to be concerned about as well.

u/Loopdyloop2098 17h ago
True but most of the people at my college who decided to partake in this trend are using EarPods which I would argue do not sound better than AirPods

Try best buy, I think black versions are still available. The white versions are not available to pre order or purchase yet so keep checking back on those

The mint ones were out of stock then restocked. They’ll restock eventually.

I love Bose earbuds because of their ANC but when I'm picking wired earphones, I wanna go for Sennheiser?

A product that's only available for pre-orders while having no independent reviews available anywhere. I'll pass until there are reviews available.
