    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.

    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.

    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 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 would never buy another product as open box or refurbished. The AirPods were literally used and dirty. I could not believe how this product is on the market in this condition.

    I bought this as a gift for my wife for Christmas. The right AirPod did not work. I returned these AirPods and although Best Buy offered me a new pair, not refurbished, I was charged an additional $16. That’s not much, but still frustrating nonetheless.

    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.
