    It came taped and not handled that well, so that was a little disappointing.

    I do not recommend buying these refurbished. I read a lot of bad reviews but ignored them…wish I hadn’t. The left side never worked and sometimes it connected and then it didn’t. I returned them in store for a brand new pair that works perfectly.

    Beware of Geek Squad Refurbished Products

    I purchase a set of Airpods 3rd generation that were Geek Squad refurbished on Feb 21, 2024. I love them but now It is November 4 and the left one has stopped working. I am a Totaltech member and called them and they told me the membership coverage doesn't include refurbished products. So their Geek Squad refurbishes them and the 189 dollar per year membership doesn't cover it. So basically, they don't back up their refurbished product which makes one wonder why. I am a big Best Buy fan, but this is extremely disappointing.

    Refurbished AirPods Are Not Cleaned!!

    I bought these AirPods for my 12-year old son and they were refurbished so I didn’t expect them to be perfect—maybe scratched or imperfect sound. When we received them, they were covered in earwax!!! To me, part of being “refurbished” is cleaning and disinfecting items especially something like AirPods. These were completely disgusting so I ended up buying them elsewhere for my kid. Just gross!! I’ve had so many problems with Best Buy lately, I’m done with the company after this order.

    Never Again will I purchase a refurbished product

    Horrible. Left earbud doesn’t work. The wireless charging doesn’t work. I will not purchase another refurbed product from Best Buy ever again. It was given as a gift and when my son finally opened and attempted to use them he reported the issues above. When i went to return them it turns out you only have two weeks. So much for a birthday surprise or giving him the thrill of opening the product himself. Never again, I cannot tell you how disappointed we all are with this product.

    I purchased these used AirPods offline but requested to pick them up in person. When I got to the store to pick up my item my intuition told me to check the AirPods and upon checking them, they still had earwax in the ear part.
