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.

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.

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.

. 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.

Howdy! I am a student in living in Bryan/College Station (if you couldn't tell by the Howdy). There is not an Apple Store here in town. Which is a bummer b/c I always love updating my apple gadgets. So instead of having to order my apple products in online or drive out of town.. Best Buy is my new " Apple Store" for years now. Plus if there is any thing wrong with my order I can go to Best Buy and avoid shipping it back to the Apple Store, or driving. This is my 3rd pair of AirPods from there with no problems! You won't regret it!!

These pair of GeekSquad Certified Refurbished AirPods with lightning charger works as expected. Although battery life on then actual AirPods didn’t meet what I would’ve gotten from a pair of brand new ones, it did last long enough for my needs. Getting certified refurbished products met my financial limitations with regards to this item. Would recommend, but do keep in mind that warranty is limited.

I really like my gen 3s due to the fact they do stay in my ears a little bettter than my 1st gen’s. A few things I found a little difficult about the gen3 AirPods. 1) if you like to exercise and it can be kind of difficult when trying to change the song on your AirPod you have to squeeze the AirPod three times versus tapping the AirPod like you could with the 1st gen AirPods ( i like the 1st gen feature better) 2) it’s kind of hard trying to hang up the phone or pause my music. 3) I had a really hard time trying to figure out how to make my AirPods louder when listening to music, but I finally found out how to do it.

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
