Ordered 2 sets on Friday and are already on their way 
Exciting! 
Love the little beasty but it needs a muffler.
It was $41.98 for the two sets. Free shipping in the US
Looking for a video, however no success. Master Airscrew claims are pretty serious. Let's see on Monday!

Cheers! That's not too bad! I saw someone saying just the shipping to AUS was 50 bucks which would be a bit steep but 55 all up is worth it if they do what they say - I haven't got my Mavic Air yet - should arrive tomorrow and I can't wait - I've been dreading the noise tho from all the vids I've watched and posts I've read in here so been looking for solutions and hopefully here it is! Let me know when they arrive and how you go ie do they really cut the MA's noise!
I shall do a Before and After comparison of the props, no problem. Will measure decibels with phone app at maybe 1m hover from directly underneath and from 5m away horizontal, hover and punch-out (well, as punchy as the Air can be, which isn't much, but maybe it'll be helpful!). I already have a sufficient apparatus set up for such things so even though it'll only be a phone app, it'll be good enough for our purposes! Will post back here with results.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but where is everyone purchasing these new props? I googled the company website but didn’t see them listed. Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers - I look forward to your review - my Mavic Air (my 1st drone) arrived this afternoon! I am not the nervous type so can't believe how nervous I am!! Just watching reviews on DJI Care Refresh to decide whether it's worth it - do you have that?
Get it. I got mine last year and it expires in may. Will try and get it again. I never crashed my drone but you never know.
I just received the MA props just now.
And below are a side by side comparison between the stock and MA (glossy, no white tips, centered)
Here is a side view for the pitch (MA left, stock right)
And here it is with the Mavic Air
Edited: add better picture showing the profile
I’ll be testing this during lunchtime. I’ll let you guys know of the results

If you have the possibility do a comparison filming the gimbal movements in high frame rate (120-240fps) or slow motion stationary on a table with props spinning. There is a video like that with the Mavic Pro and Master airscrew props showing a lot more movement of the gimbal compensating the increased vibrations from the non-stock props. Just wondering if its the same with these props for the air?
Just adding some more close up shots. (Stock top, MA bottom)
MA left, stock right
So the MA feels more flexible compared to the stiffer stock blades. MA is much smoother on the surface than the stock matte. The MA is wider in the middle and descends a bit lower at the widest part of the blade. The quality is comparable to the stock blade.

I'm very happy so far. It's very windy out so just did a quick flight. The difference is easily noticeable. Quieter and most importantly the pitch is definitely lower. I think anyone who gets these will be very happy.
