Apple AirPods 1st Gen - Description

Note: All in-ear components have either been deep cleaned and fully sterilised, or replaced with new ones.

The first generation refurbed Apple AirPods have become an integral part of the streetscape. With their distinct look as wireless earbuds, AirPods have captured the hearts and ears of the world.

Stylish… and practical too

With touch control, voice control, quick connection via Bluetooth and a built-in microphone, Apple put a lot of thought into the AirPods. They aren’t just pair of headphones, they are the perfect way to talk hands-free, control your music and more.

Intelligent too

The completely renewed AirPods turn on as soon as you take them out of the charging case, pause the music as soon as you take them out of your ear and Siri can be activated with a light double tap on the stem. The charging case is also quite ingenious: it keeps the headphones protected and charges them too! 15 minutes of charging is enough for 3 hours of music and fully charged, the AirPods can easily last 5 hours.
