Apple has started selling the AirPods 3 via its refurbished products store, marking the first time the tech giant has offered AirPods in a refurbished state.
The AirPods 3, now available in an orange color, come with a MagSafe Charging Case and are priced at $149, representing a $30 reduction from the standard $179 cost. Furthermore, Apple displays an out-of-stock listing for the refurbished AirPods Pro 2 at $209, hinting that these might be offered at a lower price soon.
The quality of Apple’s refurbished products closely resembles that of brand-new items, as they undergo a stringent quality control process. Any defective parts are replaced, and the products are cleaned meticulously, a step crucial for earbuds which are worn inside the ears.
The AirPods 3, introduced in October 2021, are known for their modernized design, force sensor controls, Adaptive EQ, spatial audio, and MagSafe charging capabilities.
