Space Grey, but I really struggled between Silver and Sky Blue. If the headband of the silver wasn’t white I would’ve gone for those.

Likely won't get any any time soon, but when I do I'll go with Space Grey. Simple and and don't stand out. I'm glad Apple offers the extended Lightning to 3.5 mm cable in black as well.

I'm a sucker for pink and there's only a 9 day ship time for me. But, will wait for some detailed testing before jumping the gun.

I ordered both Silver and Space Gray. I really do want Silver but I’m worried that they’ll end up looking disgusting.

Went for sky blue with applecare. Would have preferred the dark blue of the headband as a single color instead of the two-tone.

Ordered but then cancelled.

I need the reviewers to confirm the material of the ear cups. If they're fabric then I can't have them due to my hair retaining moisture ('locs).

My Bose NC700 normally need to be wiped down after a day of use and I don't think I can do that with fabric ear cups

I immediately went for Space Black because I thought it was the most demure color; but later wanted Blue only to see that it was a 12-14 week shipping time. I think I will be happy nonetheless with Space Black.

It's funny how Space Grey is far and away the most popular color... I've only had space grey laptops for the past 4 years, including my current 16", and generally phones.

But for these, SG and the Pink were the two colors I immediately knew I didn't want. Looking at it some more, I can see the appeal, it just seems to hide the industrial design of this somewhat (unlike an earlier poster, I like the 2 tone look of the other colorways). Went back and forth between the silver and blue before settling on the blue, although I feel the green looks supercool with the light mint colored headband.

Silver.
In my country's Apple online store, all colours slipped to 12-14 weeks just a few minutes after pre-order started - I guess the stock level was extremely low. Then I found out that there were still plenty of stock at the 'engraved' line, with silver still available to delivery by 24 Dec. So that's how I ordered the Silverw with engraving.

Note: here Apple Store doesn't accept "no-question asked" return in any circumstances, so it's not worse off for me to order an engraved product.

I wanted Pink, but I didnt want to wait until February-March, so I went with Space Grey. Might order the Pink and or Blue cushions when they’re available.

I think sky blue is fashionable. Grey is classic.

We're talking about Apple here - the silver/white is classic per the brand's history. Space grey was introduced less than a decade ago. Even Apple is pushing it as their primary colorway per the marketing, maybe as a return to form after SG being so popular for the past several years, but I guess as this poll indicates the public isn't quite ready just yet.

The bit of fabric mesh in the top band will do pretty quickly on the silver ones.
