A:AnswerMine came slightly dirty, in original packaging, and contained everything except medium eartips, even though all parts are supposed to be there (according to BestBuy).
A:AnswerNo, just purchased a pair of these, they are not showing eligible for AppleCare. Also, my TotalTech membership did not automatically enroll AppleCare on the pair I purchased. Kind of a bummer
A:AnswerNot necessarily. We had ordered 2 pair of these and one of them came already disconnected and the other didn't. It was not a big deal to get them reset and pair them with my son's phone though.
