    Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: I am thoroughly impressed with the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished AirPods (3rd Generation). They arrived in perfect condition, looking and functioning just like new. The sound quality is outstanding, with clear highs, deep bass, and great balance overall. These AirPods have definitely enhanced my music and podcast listening experience. The spatial audio feature creates an immersive sound experience that feels like you're in the middle of the action, whether it's music or a movie. The fit is also very comfortable; they stay securely in place during workouts and extended use. The battery life is solid, lasting around 6 hours on a single charge, and the wireless charging case is super convenient for quick top-ups. Pairing them with my iPhone and other Apple devices was seamless, as expected, thanks to the H1 chip. Plus, they easily switch between devices, making them perfect for multitasking. Overall, these refurbished AirPods are an excellent value for anyone looking for high-quality sound at a more affordable price. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

    One short and simple word: Fantastic. Like all Apple products, it's well thought out, easy to use, and audio in ear is crisp and clean. Storage case is nice, can also have case protection, and time between charges is excellent. The 'in-ear' feel is excellent, and the only Con of the product is losing one of the ear pods.

    I always bought cheap Bluetooth earbuds because I didn’t think the brand name ones were worth the money, but these take the cake. Amazing sound, great battery life, and the best fit to my ears that I’ve ever had. I love these things!

    I had bought these because my gen 2 airpods were messing up so I upgraded to the gen 3 and let me tell you they did not disappoint. The battery life on them lasted a long time. For example, I would start using them at 6 am and I still had battery at 11 am and if I wasn’t listening to music it would even last to about 2 if I remember right. They would last so much more then the gen 2 airpods. I 100% recommend.

    Bought these for my wife, and she is super happy with them. If I hadn't told her they were refurbished she never would have known, everything except the box they come in looks and functions like brand new. I found no issues with the sound, they connected right up to her phone, and they get great battery life. So I'm pretty sure we got a set that was basically new but the box was a little worn from shipping or something. Definitely worth it to grab a refurbished set in my experience.

    I purchased a pair of refurbished 3rd gen Apple AirPods and couldn’t be happier. I believe they were just an open box item as the case and ear buds had not signs of use. Sound quality is freak’n amazing and the battery life is unbeatable. No regrets here!!
