Apple AirPods Pro A3047 (USB-C)

This refurb right AirPod Pro 2 delivers sound quality in the top 5 percent of all earbuds and connectivity at the 97th percentile for just $80. It's a killer deal if you need a single replacement bud. Just don't expect it to work with anything other than the USB-C AirPods Pro 2nd Gen.

The 11mm dynamic driver and hybrid ANC are the real deal here. Sound quality ranks in the top 5 percent of all true wireless earbuds we track, and the noise cancelling isn't far behind at the 93rd percentile. Apple's H2 chip does the heavy lifting, and this refurb keeps that intact. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint means it'll hop between your phone and laptop without drama.

Battery life is solid but not spectacular, landing at the 76th percentile. You get about 5 hours from the earbud itself and 30 hours total with the case. The 5 minute quick charge for an hour of playback is handy when you're rushing out the door. Mic quality sits at the 82nd percentile, so calls sound clear enough, though it's not going to blow anyone away.

Against the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, the AirPods Pro 2 holds its own on sound and ANC, with both sitting near the top of our charts. The Technics EAH-AZ100 is another strong contender, but it's a full set at a much higher price. The Sony WF-C700N and Soundcore P31i are cheaper complete options, but they can't touch the AirPods Pro 2's connectivity score. The EarFun Air Pro 4+ is the budget pick if you want a full set for less than this single refurb bud.

At $80 USD from Best Buy's refurb program, this is a fraction of what a brand new AirPods Pro 2 set costs. If you've lost or damaged your right bud, spending $80 beats dropping $249 on a whole new pair. The MXN 1,946 listing in Mexico tells the same story. You're paying for the hardware, not the packaging, and the hardware here is genuinely excellent. Just remember you're buying a single earbud, not a complete setup.

This is a single right-side AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with USB-C, model A3047, sold as a refurb. The numbers that jump out first are the connectivity and sound scores, sitting at the 97th and 95th percentile in our database. That means this lone earbud still delivers the same top-tier pairing experience and audio quality as the full set, assuming you already own the matching left bud and case.

But here's the catch. Comfort lands at the 30th percentile and social proof at the 23rd, with a 3.5 out of 5 rating across just 8 reviews. You're buying a replacement part, not a complete product, and the customer feedback reflects that split between people thrilled to save money and folks burned by third-party refurb roulette.

Skip this if you don't already own the USB-C AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with a working left bud and case. The comfort score at the 30th percentile means the fit isn't for everyone, and the fitness performance of 59.7 out of 100 makes these a poor choice for workouts. Also skip if you're wary of refurb quality, the 3.5 star rating across just 8 reviews isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

If you already own AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with USB-C and just need to replace the right side, this is a no-brainer at $80. The sound and ANC performance are still best-in-class, and the connectivity is the best we've seen in this category. But if you're starting from scratch or your left bud is also dead, you're better off buying a complete set. The comfort score and weak social proof are red flags for anyone expecting a flawless refurb experience.
