    2nd Gen AirPods €139 on Amazon.
    Cheaper than Apple even if you take into account the unattractive €25 voucher "discount".


    What's the story if you buy AirPods off Amazon - do you retain any type of 1 yr Apple product warranty??

    that's a great price but it looks like its expired

    If you go onto amazon UK, select the used options, scroll down to the ones for £116 (as new from amazon warehouse but box is damaged) add to basket and when you hit checkout there is a discount applied. They are priced at £81.94. Just bought a set.

    nope they have just gone up - went back in to try again and as you say they're at €129, so not much saving when you add in cost of parcel motel

    FWIW, I just ordered a set off Amazon DE and paid €121.61
    (2nd Gen, non wireless case)


    Though now I check - when I click the same product it's saying €129.
    Seems like the price jumped in the last hour. :pac:

    Why do you need parcel motel? I paid about €7 for delivery to my house.

    Fair point - Parcel motel is €4 and suits me, especially as these are Christmas presents

    Good if box damaged - They are only £124 new on amazon... so for the tenner - might be worth getting one definitely wasn't used.

    Make sure to double check if legit when you get it, from serials etc - reading about lots of fake dysons, samsung ssds etc. on amazon this year...

    Thanks for this. My used but like new AirPods arrived today, pretty happy with it. The outer wrapper was removed but the plastic/paper case over the AirPod and the cable was intacted. So seems like decent value for 90 bucks!

    I’d second this, box was dirty and wrapping plastic film wrapping removed but inside like new. I have always used wired headphones and have used a set of Shure headphones for the last ten years which have served and just decided to give them a go, have to say, I am very impressed with the sound quality, I knew it wasn’t going to be awful but I wasn’t expecting it to be as good. Phone calls are good also.

    Bought one at the UK sale price - and after 30 minutes break in time - they are as good as they say. Well impressed with the sound quality off them.

    Under the card tray that held the earpods case.
    Kinda hard to pull out.

    Otherwise dealz do a cable thats should be good enough for earbuds - just doesnt do full fastcharge speeds for phones.

    I noticed on Amazon some of the ‘used - very good’ had “no lightning cable” detailed in the description in small print.

    I got mine yesterday and am a little disappointed. The outer wrapping was missing, which is fine but the inner plastic over the airpods was missing and the casing has lots of tiny scuffs. One of the airpods has a tiny nick on it. So overall they don't look as new. I wonder should I send them back as they are a gift.

    Mine had the outer apple box but wasn't wrapped in the clear plastic film, just had 2 clear stickers on the bottom keeping the box closed. If yours is the same I would open them.

    Yeah, I'm definitely returning them
    1st photo is the packing
    2nd is the scuffs on the case
    3rd is the notch on one (just above my nail)
    As usual, no issues from amazon, returns label issued already.
