Only the best deals on Verge-approved devices get the Verge Deals seal of approval, so if you’re looking for a deal for your next device or gift from top retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target and more, this is it the place to be.
Apple’s second-generation AirPods that include a wireless charging case cost $ 170 if you buy them new, but Best Buy offers a great deal on refurbished models if you want to save another $ 60. This refurbished set of second-generation AirPods costs $ 110, the best price we’ve seen so far, and they come with all original accessories. If you want to charge them wirelessly, you’ll need to use an existing wireless charger or choose one for less than $ 20.
Best Buy claims they have been tested, though their mileage may vary based on whether there are scratches on the charging case. These are covered with a 90-day warranty through Best Buy. While that’s not as good as the one-year coverage you’ll get when you buy a new unit, that’s the compensation for saving nearly $ 100 on the original price. That may be worth it if you’ve been looking for a deal.
Compared to the first-generation model, this one has the H1 wireless chip that offers faster switching between connected devices, as well as Hey Siri voice commands. Additionally, this model will receive a new feature shown at WWDC 2020 that allows you to automatically switch between devices based on the device that is playing audio.
