Open box AirPods Pro 3 can arrive looking nearly new, with untouched tips, clean cases, and working pairing and Find My, making the low price especially attractive. The strongest upside is the ANC and sound, which feel like a real step up from AirPods Pro 2 for noise blocking and clarity. The main risks are open box condition swings, missing accessories, and units still tied to a previous Apple account or Find My lock. A careful in store check matters here.

  • Some open-box units can arrive looking essentially brand new and still show Find My working on the buyer's iPhone.

  • Some purchases can include AppleCare coverage on the associated serial number, with warranty end dates visible after pickup.

  • The AirPods Pro 3 ANC can deliver noticeably better noise cancellation than AirPods Pro 2 for traffic and treadmill hum.

  • Some buyers can resolve Find My lock problems through Apple express replacement when resetting and returns fail.

  • Open-box units can be Find My locked to a previous owner, which can prevent adding them to iCloud even after resetting.

  • Open-box condition labels can be misleading, including cases where the case is heavily scratched or earwax is visible on arrival.

  • Some open-box purchases can be missing accessories like the charging cable or box, which can reduce what you actually receive.

  • Open-box returns can become a hassle when Find My lock, mismatched items, or missing accessories require back-and-forth with store support.

What about the warranty? Is there any sort of warranty on the excellent open box ones?
Apple warranty ends one year after original owner first owner used them. At least until September this year, a year after they were released

If you cannot contact the owner, return them...otherwise the original owner can still track the AirPods...
I believe when you reset them (described earlier ) the original owner cannot track them, but you cannot track them either.

Also beware of fakes. Lots of cases where people buy brand new from BestBuy (or other retailers) and then return fake ones for a full refund.

I took advantage of this deal when the Pro 2s were available and made the mistake of not checking if they were iCloud locked before I left the store. Don't be me and make sure you can add them to your iCloud before you leave the store as the "Find My" feature will not work if that's essential to you. Every other feature worked fine but for myself, not having the find my feature sucked

Make sure - if you can't add them to find my then they should be going back - as that's the sure way to verify if they are fake or not.

Even for real(Apple) used airpods the find my feature likely will not work.. previous owner didn't unlock them before returning...

I purchased an Open Box "Fair" set from Best Buy today for $134.99.

I asked to look at them before I purchased and with my naked eye I can't find any scratches or issues. I took close up macros photos and maybe I can see some very faint things but in person if you told me they were new I'd believe you.

The box has giant Best Buy return stickers on it - that doesn't look new - but the case and the extra tops and the Airpods themselves are spotless.


The warranty ends of 12/26/2026 and I was able to see them in the Find My device so they aren't registered to anyone else.

Here's a Google Photos gallery of the close up pictures: EDIT They are blocking that Google photos?

I can not find a way to post my images - they keep getting blocked.

Sorry! I purchased the excellent condition pro 3 and just picked them up. They are brand new except for the box. Absolutely do not look like anyone touched them. All the foam ear pieces are there and look untouched. No problem pairing them and placing them on "find my". The store would not let me open the box to see them until I purchased them. They had two pairs in excellent condition so I figured if mine had an issue I would return them and try the other one but no this one is a keeper! Best buy said there is a two week return policy. How do I tell the date of first purchase?
