They arrived in excellent condition as promised. They even still have AppleCare up until next year. Both earbuds work well and so do the microphones. Connected to my Apple ID with no problem and after some fiddling I managed to make them show up on Find My. I’m happy with the purchase.

I really like them. They are comfortable, the sound is high quality (I’m no expert though), and they’re in top condition. I wouldn’t have paid full price for these straight from Apple, so I love that I got them refurbished. I’ve also bought many other products from BackMarket- 2 Switches, 2 iPads, an Apple Watch, and an iPhone. I’ve always had great experiences.

I have had them for 10 hours and I am in love. The noise canceling is amazing, I couldn’t hear a toddler’s meltdown, take that as you will. I also love the sound quality, my favorite podcast sounds like im literally in the room with them, and I like how they can keep track of my heart rate because I have heart problems so it’s cool that something can help me keep track of that

These AirPods literally feel brand new and work amazingly. They even still have the warranty on them for like 4 more months. Everything seemed to be working as it should be and you can’t tell that they weren’t brand new.
