    Stay away from Geek Squad Certified Refurbished

    The Geek Squad Certified Refurbished is meaningless. I realized the force sensor did not work on the left AirPod a little over 3 months after I purchased these (fortunately for Best Buy, immediately after the 90 warranty ran out). I continued to use them. Now 8 months after my purchase, the left AirPod has failed completely. I try to support my local brick & mortar stores. But after this experience, I doubt I will be using Best Buy for such purchases in the future and will turn to Amazon.

    I have mixed feelings about this item. This is the second pair that I purchase and the battery life for the earpiece doesn't last. Listening time is great but not the talk time. Talk time is less than 30 mins.

    the earbuds were crackling and not working well. there was a lot of static. the design of the earbuds are also flawed,they dont stay in the ear while running or even walking. I found myself wearing headbands to keep them in place. to me, theyre not worth it and I would much rather wear my bulky beats headphones than these earbuds. lastly the quality of phone calls is also poor, plus dont plan on using these for remote conference video calls,the blue tooth does not sync to zoom.

    Didn't last through the return period. This was my second attempt at purchasing refurbished to save the environment. Didn't work for me - I purchased Air Pods Pro new. Oh well, there will be another chance.

    Took a gamble

    I knew I was taking a gamble. Didn’t want new ones. Bought to use for work. The batteries lasted maybe three hours. Obviously buying refurbished you don’t know exactly what was refurbished so it’s a crap shoot. If I was going to use them sparingly I would have kept them. However, I needed them for an 8-10 hr work day. Went back to my wired set.

    I will never buy a refurbished item from best buy again! After a few weeks I start to notice that the case wont hold a charge. Now I'm seeing I'm unable to return the item. Even though it came with 6 months of AppleCare its still the point that I got a bad pair of airpods! I should have to get them fixed after only a month of having them. Very disappointed.

    Purchased and they stopped working within 45 days and I was told - sorry its outside the 15 day return period. What is the point of recertified. Total scam

    Fake AirPods. Left bud didn’t work and they didn’t even make that connection sound when putting them in my ear. When I placed them back in the case they were still playing music. Save your money and don’t get this.

    I purchased these refurbished ear pods as a git because I trusted Best Buy. They worked great for about six months. Unfortunately COVID hit and Best Buy stores closed except for online purchases. When stores had modified openings I contacted Best Buy about the problem and was told they were past the warranty time. I will never purchase a Best Buy refurbished product again. They don’t stand behind their work.
