    I might have received the same one another reviewer received. Right bud didn't work after trying to reset it several times. Didn't connect, have audio, or ring when you locate the device. The geek squad certification process must not be very through.

    Not sure how this item slipped out from QA b/c the right earbud has a volume issue. Right bud will not match the volume level of the left; what good is a set of wireless earbuds w/ a volume defect. How did techs miss this egregious error?

    Ordered and tried 3 pairs from Best Buy. All three either wouldn't recognize or wouldn't stay paired with my phone. I was only able to get audio through one set of buds and the connection kept cutting out.

    Don't buy refurbished. I don't know how it got past the 'Geek Squad' but my pair came with only one working earbud and they weren't even factory reset. Don't waste your time with the "Good deals" cause they're fake. Broken earbuds.

    Do not work, will not charge the buds so I can't pair I get the "Pixel Buds are trying to pair but one of them is not properly seated in the charging case" indicators. Certified refurbished is rubbish. Googles twitter only support @MadeByGoogle is trash and eBay is not much better.

    This is preowned item , the shipping was really fast but the item is garbage, no budy tested the refurbished pixel buds before shipping, if somebody did, that guy doing a misserable job and is lazy because this ear buds looks great but NOT WORK, and no body wanna pay for bad items, that really sucks!. If best buy have this refurbished items on the web site for sale they have to test and reset before they put on sale again, the item was a pixel buds 2 and when i paired with my phone it showing the last owner info, the box came with missing pieces, and i'm really sure that is not the same model what i buy, or the buds and the charger was 2 diferent items, geek squad sucks!!

    The right earbud went out after only 2 months. Item should have have a warranty or a longer return time. They were refurbished so I wasn't too shocked that something didn't work.
