Community Reviews

These AirPods Pro 3 open box units are drawing attention for strong value, especially when promo codes or Venmo checkout drop the price well below retail. The main appeal is that many pairs appear to be genuine, with Apple serial checks, working features, and in several cases AppleCare plus coverage running into 2028. Cosmetic wear is common, though, with beat up boxes, micro scratches, and occasional signs of prior use. The biggest caution is authenticity and Find My behavior, since some pairs need resets or purchase date updates while others are returned as mismatches or fakes, making this a higher risk open box buy.

Common Questions (5)

  • The units can be legitimate Apple AirPods Pro 3, but the coverage is inconsistent: some arrive with AppleCare+ already attached through early 2028, while others show only an Allstate warranty or an unvalidated purchase date. Checking the serial numbers in Apple's support app and updating the purchase date can reveal whether AppleCare+ is active.

  • A real pair should pass Apple serial checks, show up correctly in Find My, register in Settings, and support normal features like play sound, firmware updates, and the Apple Music trial. Red flags include AirPods Mismatch, setup incomplete, missing Find Nearby, or Find My behavior that keeps breaking after resets.

  • Yes. Installing the Apple Support app and updating the purchase date in My Devices can make AppleCare+ recalculate, with reported extensions to dates like March 2028 or January 2028. This is useful when Apple initially says it cannot validate the purchase date.

  • Expect used/open-box signs such as a beat-up or torn box, micro-scratches on the case, small ear tips already installed, and sometimes dirt or earwax. Some units arrive looking nearly pristine inside, but cosmetic wear is common enough that cleaning them before use is practical.

  • The issue can come from pairing glitches, and some units start working after a reset, re-pairing, or a full Find My/Bluetooth reset sequence. If the problem keeps returning after troubleshooting, it may indicate a defective or fake unit rather than a normal setup issue.

I just bought these from this exact seller on 11/19/25 total coming out to $210 so I'm a little jealous of this deal. Highly recommend. Box looked banged up on the outside. Inside looked pristine and I got completely lucky ( so don't expect this) but mine came with AppleCare+, so I'm guessing someone bought them, added the AppleCare and disliked them or whatever so much they ate the cost of the AppleCare

Why is a brand new product open box en masse…? Not buying without a good logical explanation for this

Not worth the risk. I bough the Amazon resell deal but I'm considering cancelling the order and buying directly from apple

This shit is a straight up scam. Moderators need to take this down.
I disagree. I bought these a few weeks ago and they're real/mint condition. Plus you can always return with seller paying shipping and there's an Allstate warranty on this so not sure where the downside of people taking the risk on these

Or they were sold and returned to Costco, which includes AC+ for two years on APs.

Can AppleCare be added to open box AirPods?
I think you can ONLY if the pair was originally bought within the past 90 days. So the answer is maybe if you get lucky with the pair that arrives

That could be it too and then they don't even worry about the AppleCare because they didn't pay for it, it was bundled in

Mine shipped. Sent via FedEx 2 day, and included serial number. Apple said it's legit but doesn't have purchase date (so was never activated?)

Where did you find the serial number? I got the email they have shipped via FedEx 2day, but I don't see a serial number anywhere.
