    I read the reviews and like most I felt there was more positive then negative. I’ve purchased many items from Best Buy and this is MY first poor review. Received them marked certified by Geek Squad. They were soiled and the case was scratched in many areas, loses charge rapidly doesn’t perform nearly as well as my Wife’s new set she bought. Very disappointed clearly a hit or miss with the used ones I’d steer clear.

    They are broken after 10 months! I wonder if it is due to them being refurbished or did we get a bad product? I am sure that our Best Buy will take care of them for us.

    I own a few sets of AirPods for the family. This refurbished pair was no good. One of the pods didn’t work correctly. Best Buy was good at letting me exchange them.

    I purchased these for my husband for Christmas. Unfortunately we had to return them due to the fact that one of the buds did not work. Wish The Geek Squad would have pre-tested them prior to sending them out. Case came all scratched up and there was no instructions in the Box as well. Was pretty disappointed because we've never had a problem with refurbished items from Best Buy

    I recently purchased these certified refurbished AirPods only yo have them fall apart on month after the purchase. I immediately contacted Best Buy and was informed that because I did not purchase the extended warranty thier was nothing they could do. If you do decide to purchase this or any other refurbished item get the extended warranty!

    Microphones quit working a few months in. Reset them and the microphones will work again for a bit but the quit again. Way too expensive for such problems. And I researched online and found lots of people with the same problem so it's not isolated to mine.

    These things are great, I was concerned about them staying in my ears but have had zero issues with them falling out. Happy I went the refurbished route they look brand new and saved a couple bucks. So much easier to connect to my phone than other headphones plus the connecting never drops. Oh man I'm happy happy.
