I really like these! They came with a charger so if your phone isn’t lightning cable you’ll always have one on hand! The quality and battery life has been great so far and they fit in my ears comfortably :)

Absolutely delighted with my purchase. I lost my previous ones and didn’t want to pay full price for brand new ones. They arrive super quickly and as described in perfect condition. Never buying another apple product unless it’s through Back Market.

Right AirPod has too make base - vibrates in my ear which has an odd feeling. Charging AirPod case - Abit annoying how to charge the case you need to use the lead given by back market. As I don’t have the new Apple phone charger I thought I could also use my usual iPhone 11 phone charger.

I totally recommend Back Market. I purchased a year ago from them for a ps4 and it was perfect. So when i needed new airpods for an affordable price - i knew exactly where to come! I was hesitant at first but i can genuinely say their service and products are superb! Thank you Back Market for an excellent service every time :)

Incredibly happy with the airpods - they’re in absolutely perfect condition. Not a single fault on them. There was a bit of a hiccup with the delivery but no fault of the seller, however, the Back Market team dealt with the entire situation incredibly - constant updates and support. As always, BackMarket is my go to!

I am highly impressed with the AirPods (3rd generation, 2021 edition) I ordered. They arrived super fast (within 2 days) and are in an - as described - excellent condition. The sound quality of the AirPods is as if they are brand new and they are working 100% efficiently. I am very impressed with the quality of my order and would order from here again in a heartbeat!

Benefits of buying refurbished AirPods 3 at Back Market

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished AirPods 3. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance 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 used or second hand AirPods 3 compared to refurbished ones.

Buying reconditioned AirPods 3 is also a much friendlier environmental option. Refurbished AirPods 3 are often second hand or used AirPods that have been restored and updated to meet the manufacturer's standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old AirPods out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

Browse Back Market's full range of refurbished AirPods — from second hand AirPods 2 to reconditioned AirPods Pro. Every pair is tested, graded and covered by a minimum 1-year warranty.

Where is the best place to buy a cheap refurbished AirPods 3?

If you're looking for cheap AirPods 3 deals, but without the compromise on quality and performance, then Back Market has you covered. With AirPods 3 prices up to 50% less than brand new, and a thorough screening process for refurbished sellers to partner with us, you can rest assured that your reconditioned Apple Watch Ultra will perform just 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 cheap AirPods 3 deals on our platform.

Is it better to buy a reconditioned AirPods 3 instead of a used or second hand AirPods 3?

Buying used or second hand AirPods 3 with no guarantees that the device has been refurbished, nor a return policy or warranty poses a huge risk. Thankfully, with Back Market, we don't just list certified refurbished sellers, but we also add in a minimum 12-month's warranty, 30-day return policy, and free delivery too - all at no extra cost! If you're looking for a cheap AirPods 3 deal in the UK, look no further than Back Market!

What to expect when buying a refurbished AirPods 3

If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your AirPods 3 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 refurbished AirPods 3 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 3 is 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.

et, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished AirPods 3. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance 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 used or second hand AirPods 3 compared to refurbished ones.
