    I purchased “Excellent”. Arrived earlier than expected. Came fully packaged in apple box with no scratches or sign of being used or refurbished. The sound quality is great. I was worried it would be too big and fall out my ears but they fit perfectly in my ears and remain comfortable even during extended use. battery life is pretty outstanding. Overall this purchase was a win win and it is worth your money.

    Really good even with the lower rating of refurbishment, didn’t look like they were used at all. My only personal gripe is i’m not the biggest fan of the non-silicone tips, but that’s just choice of airpod, otherwise great product.

    Still using my airpod. Pairing it with my Samsung phone even. My boss asked me if I got connectivity problem with my airpod. I said none. She got a 100k plus BMW convertible car, so pretty sure she bought her airpod brand new. I that that sums how good is this refurbished item is.

    The product as a whole is perfect! For context, I decided to get new earbuds after my 2nd gen Airpods broke. What was holding me back from upgrading however was the price most websites charge for AirPods. Then the stars align in my favor and I find an ad about the Back Market, a website that sells your favorite high brand items while helping the planet (as their products are refurbished). I got these AirPods for $118 which is WAY CHEAPER than brand new yet works exactly the same as if you were to buy them brand new! It's amazing and based on sound quality alone you wouldn't notice a difference between these and the new stuff. My only complain is that there's a few scratches on the inside of the case but it's pretty unnoticeable. Seriously, these are worth the cost. And the fact that you’re also saving the planet is a bonus! (Also, I’ve had them forever about 1-2 months.)

    Only hang up was the original box I came in. It was a little dirty but that’s to be expected. The charger was also not an official apple charger. Outside of that the AirPods work nicely paired to my phone immediately, bass sounds good which is the most common Hangup I’ve found with refurbished headphones/earbuds, and the AirPods and case themselves were very clean and had all The pieces.

    I bought this 3rd generation AirPods for $95, and overall, they're pretty good. The sound quality is smooth, and the transitions are great. However, I have some doubts about the authenticity due to some irrelevant writing on the case. Even though it's refurbished, I expected the case to match the original. Despite that, they work really well, so I believe they’re genuine.

    I just got this item last week, and I have to say that it is great. The Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen with MagSafe and USB-C charging case came looking excellent. There were no marks whatsoever on them and it worked like a dream. The Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen came with everything, just like if I got them from Apple. This is the sixth or seventh Apple product that I have gotten from BackMarket and I have not been disappointed yet. Way to go BackMarket!

    This stuff sigma and rated by the Skibiti Toilet and Masters of moggers. Overall 9.7/10 everything is great it’s just that refurbished item we’re supposed to work like new and it does it’s just that when I pause music and play it again as soon as I hit the unpause button I hear a small popping sound it’s really little and low and it doesn’t bother me that much unless I’m skipping constantly but it doesn’t happen during music

Benefits of buying refurbished AirPods


At Back Market, customers can save up to 70% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished AirPods. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected, and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or pre-owned AirPods compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a renewed AirPods is also a much friendlier environmental option. Refurbished AirPods are often second-hand devices that have been restored and updated to meet the manufacturer's standards, which means you'll be helping to keep used AirPods out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimize your carbon footprint.

 

Best place to buy a refurbished Apple AirPods 


You'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored AirPods at Back Market. That's because we specialize specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. 

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop AirPod deals on our platform. 

Buying refurbished is a no-brainer - now you just have to figure out which AirPods model to buy.

 

AirPods warranty and return policy


All AirPods purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best AirPods for your needs at lower prices.

 

What to expect when buying refurbished AirPods


If you're a first-time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your AirPods may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good, and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your AirPods, and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store. You should also be confident that your AirPods are backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.


AirPods Trade In


If you already have a pair of AirPods that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra budget for your next headphone upgrade. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current AirPods.
