    Reliable Refurbished AirPods 3rd Gen with Minor Ca

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Rating: 3.75/5 I recently purchased the refurbished AirPods 3rd generation from Best Buy, and overall, I am pleased with my purchase. These refurbished earbuds have provided me with a reliable and convenient audio experience, but there have been some minor issues with call quality. In terms of sound quality, the AirPods 3rd gen deliver exceptional audio performance. Whether I'm listening to music, watching videos, or engaging in voice chats, the sound is crisp and well-balanced. The bass is adequately pronounced, and the overall audio experience is immersive. The refurbished AirPods have also proven to be quite durable. Despite being pre-owned, they have exhibited reliable functionality and have seamlessly integrated with my Apple devices. The connectivity is swift, and I haven't experienced any significant connectivity issues during my usage. However, it's worth noting that some individuals have reported difficulties hearing me clearly during phone calls. This minor call quality issue has led to occasional frustrations when communicating with others. While it hasn't been a consistent problem, it is something to be aware of. Purchasing refurbished AirPods from Best Buy was a cost-effective choice, allowing me to enjoy the benefits of Apple's renowned audio technology at a more affordable price. The refurbished product was in good condition, and Best Buy's commitment to quality assurance was evident. Overall, I rate the refurbished AirPods 3rd gen a solid 3.75 out of 5. The audio quality, durability, and seamless integration with Apple devices make them a reliable choice for daily use. However, the occasional call quality issue prevents me from giving them a higher rating. If you prioritize audio performance and can tolerate occasional call quality hiccups, these refurbished AirPods could be a worthy investment. Note: Your personal experience may vary, so it's important to consider individual preferences and usage patterns when making a purchasing decision.

    For the longest, I’ve had the 1st generation airpods because I did not like the 2nd generation; However, the 3rd generation are perfect for me, and although it does take time getting use to the feel of them, they were worth the money and I was able to trade in my old airpods and apply it to the new pair I got. I highly recommend those who dont like the 2nd generation to give these a try!

    I bought these for my wife. She loves them. She was an “airpod hater” (her words) but she says she loves them. They’re really convenient and easy to carry around. They don’t fit in her ears as well as she’d like but she doesn’t mind.

    This airpods is a second hand but its cheaper. If you buy brandnew and once you got it. Its already considered second hand. But anyway the price is good and the item is still great working if not you can return and replace it so its still win win situation.

    Great condition as far as physical appearance, everything looked brand new. Only issue is that when I try to use the double tap feature, headphones don't work. I even checked the settings on my phone to make sure it was set up. So I can't start any audio, end a phone call or change a song by double tapping the headphones. Since I have a warranty on them I may try to exchange them or something.
