How much do refurbished AirPods cost?

Refurbished AirPods on Back Market start from $90 . Price varies by model and condition grade: AirPods 3 sit at the lower end, while AirPods Max and newer generations are priced higher. Across the range, savings reach up to 60% compared to buying new. Prices are set by sellers and updated regularly.

Are refurbished AirPods worth buying?

Yes. A refurbished pair has been inspected, tested, and graded before listing, so you know what you're getting. On Back Market, every pair comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day return window. Sound quality and core functionality are the same as new. Battery health is disclosed in listing details, so there are no surprises.

What's the difference between AirPods models?

AirPods 2 are the entry-level option: affordable and reliable, with no extras. AirPods 3 add spatial audio and better battery life, making them the stronger pick for daily listeners. AirPods Max are over-ear headphones with high-fidelity sound and active noise cancellation, the premium tier of the range. For noise cancellation in an in-ear design, a dedicated AirPods Pro page covers the full Pro range.

Do refurbished AirPods come with a warranty?

Yes. Every pair of AirPods sold through Back Market comes with a 1-year commercial warranty from the seller, covering hardware defects not caused by accidental damage. You also have a 30-day return window if the product doesn't match its description. Both protections apply regardless of condition grade.

Just as I expected from Back Market, the airpods came in pristine condition. No visible scratches whatsoever on the case or the airpods. Was delivered in a clean & fitting box. Got to save ~$40-$60 by buying these airpods from here. No complaints!

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.

Airpods worked and connected to my IPhone 18 Pro Max effortlessly. Even though they are stated as "Fair Condition," they were kept us pretty well. I primarily use them for calls and they sound very clear and my other parties hear and understand me well. But for music they also do the job. Quality, Style, and Fit are all very good.

I’ve been using this case for three weeks now mostly on my daily commute on the subway and I have to say I am so happy with the battery life and dependability of this replacement case. My old case used a lightning cable and the buds transferred seamlessly to this usb-c case. The condition was as new, no scratches and no sign of previous use which was awesome. I still used Lysol wipes though. I love this case and I’m so happy to get yet another (seven devices so far) from Backmarket. I have saved so much money and have received quality products from this place. Thanks guys!
