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.

I went ahead and bought an excellent and a good pair. I'll check condition and Find My in the parking lot. Hopefully the good is good enough and I'll save a few bucks.

Just got mine- appear in new condition, even the tips. No issue with FindMy here, but ymmv of course.
It looks like mine were at least activated, though. Warranty ends in December of 26.

Picked up mine. Excellent pair was missing the medium tips (the ones that come already on the AirPods). Otherwise everything looked new.
The good were missing all the tips. As a new set costs more than the price difference, definitely not worth it. Return was a huge PITA. They questioned me why it was missing accessories and it took way longer to return than pick up.
Based on my experience, buy the excellent and save yourself the headache.

Picked up open box good. A small chip on the case but could care less. The AirPods themselves are new. All tips are there. No issues with find my. Warranty till November.

I bought "Excellent" condition AirPods Pro 3 online from BB, but they arrived heavily scratched with visible earwax. Best Buy had simply slapped an "Excellent" sticker over an existing "Good" condition label. Returned them hassle-free at a local store, checked their open-box inventory in person, and picked a much better-condition pair.
Recommendation: Buy an extra set of ear tips from an Apple Store (~$10) and thoroughly clean the AirPods (Alcohol swab works) before use.

Cable included with Excellent or no? I kinda like the new braided cables. Anyway I picked mine up and it did not have a cable. OH well, I have enough USB C cables I guess. No scratches, pretty pristine. I'm happy overall and I used it as an opportunity to get rid of my old AirPod Pro 1s.

Bought Excellent condition, picked up Good condition. More of that , pods are locked to previous owner account and cannot be unlocked as far as I know - at least factory reset does not do it. They can be paired to your phone but cannot be added to your iCloud and previous customer can check your location. BestBuy openbox is a scam game

i don't think you get a cable, even if you bought it brand new unopened. when i open the box, there is zero space for a cable.

my feeling is who cares if it includes a cable. I have more USB-C cables than I know what to do with.

Don't ppl buy new ear tips? I wouldn't use the same ones
Comply is a good US based company. I went with some generic foam tips of AliExpress for my pro 2, and have been very happy with them. Also get AppleCare and get free replacement tips Wink

what do you guys think "fair" condition means on these? Is it worth $10 more for "good" just to be safe?
The lower the grade, the more extra earwax you'll get..
