    Great Value: Geek Squad Certified Refurbished

    I recently got the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished AirPods (3rd generation) with the Lightning Charging Case, and I’m really impressed! They arrived in excellent condition—no scratches or signs of wear at all, which was a pleasant surprise. The sound quality is fantastic, with rich bass and clear highs that enhance my music and podcasts. The spatial audio feature is a standout; it really creates an immersive listening experience that makes everything feel more dynamic. Battery life is solid too; I can use them for several hours, and the Lightning Charging Case makes recharging super convenient. They connect effortlessly to my iPhone, and I appreciate how they switch between devices seamlessly. Plus, they fit comfortably in my ears, so I can wear them for long periods without any discomfort. Overall, these refurbished AirPods are an excellent value if you want high-quality sound without breaking the bank. I definitely recommend them if you’re in the market for a great pair of wireless earbuds!

    I purchased the Apple- refurbished AirPods(3rd generation) with Lightning Charging Case. The sound quality was amazing and just what I needed their noise cancellation, the comfort of these are perfect for me. All aspects about these AirPods watching movies, making calls,etc is perfect. So far the battery life is good. Overall I recommend purchasing the refurbished to get money off they’re exactly the same and came with no problems.

    Apple AirPod 4

    These are easily the best AirPods available on the market. The quality is great and has additional features compared to the previous generations like the Spatial Audio feature which changed the sound coming from each AirPod depending on which way you turn your head, but if you don’t like it then you can turn it off in settings. I was originally going to get the cheap ones but I’m glad I decided to get these. The previous generations had a ton of glitches and I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it anymore. They’re are also much more comfortable in my ears compared to the previous generations.

    3 Months Reviw

    I’ve had it for 3 months now and so far it has been amazing. It was hard to get used to them at first but now it’s comfortable. Also my Apple Music free trial expired today along with my Apple TV free trial. Definitely try it for yourself!! Battery lasts me up to 2 days after having it on all day during school (8 hours) I’m also a very messy teenager and still managed to keep them looking good with no case. TMI: I dropped it in water like 3 times and sound is still good.

    Works excellent, had more features than I realized. I especially like that the ear pods automatically connect to my phone and recognize that they are in your ear. They have a way to find them if lost, fine my airpods function. Charges in their case. The sounds is great. I purchased these refurbished and they were just like new.

    . The audio quality is fantastic, offering crisp and clear sound that enhances my music and podcast listening experience. The design is sleek and comfortable, fitting snugly in my ears for long periods without discomfort. Connectivity with my Apple devices is seamless, making the user experience smooth and hassle-free. However, there’s a notable feature I miss: noise cancellation. Having previously used earbuds with this feature, I definitely feel its absence in noisy environments. While the AirPods Gen 3 do a decent job at passive noise isolation, it’s not quite the same as active noise cancellation, which can be a game-changer in loud settings. Despite this, I’m happy with my purchase. The AirPods Gen 3 are reliable, easy to use, and deliver quality sound. They’re a great choice for anyone deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem, though those seeking noise cancellation might need to look at other options.

    I have no problems with these the only thing i will say is the volume seems a little low not too loud which isn’t really a problem because you don’t want all that loud noise in your ear but wonderful airpods at a good price. I lost my other ones and I didn’t wanna pay that high price for new ones so these work prefectly

    Literally perfect, it works amazingly well no earwax AT ALL, it came with a charger AND A YEAR WARRANTY (so just incase yours breaks because the past owner or something you can trade it in for a BRAND NEW ONE). I literally had to use refections in the airpods' plastic to find the smallest blemish ever (that you cant even see on camera IM SURE I GOT PRETTY LUCKY but if you're looking for a confirmation on whether you should buy it refurbished then i say DO IT

    I bought a pair of refurbished air pods and 1 month later they’re working just like when I first bought them. A they were brand new. I never could tell that they were refurbished. Battery life is great and quick to recharge them. I’m very happy with this purchase
