Drawbacks

2. Battery Life: Refurbished AirPods Pro 2 may not hold their charge as long as a brand new pair, especially in cases where the original battery was already in significantly degraded condition. However, this shouldn't be too much of a concern since Apple's refurbishment process usually entails faulty batteries being replaced.
3. Battery Life: Refurbished AirPods Pro 2 may not hold their charge as long as a brand new pair, especially in cases where the original battery was already in significantly degraded condition. However, this shouldn't be too much of a concern since Apple's refurbishment process usually entails faulty batteries being replaced.
4. Limited stock Availability: Refurbished products are often available in low-numbered stocks. You may be forced to fight for a pair, hence.

My Personal Experience

Having used my refurbished AirPods Pro 2 for nearly six months now, they never failed to amaze me with their performance. It's all about sound quality; noise cancellation is brilliant; you get enough usage out of them to carry you through a day. If the charging case has scratches, they are barely visible and have no hindrance to the entire experience you have with it.

Tips on how to make your refurbished AirPods Pro 2 last

1. Correctly charging: means you won't over charge. Charge them to about 80% capacity and then unplug when not in use.
2. Clean them regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe that dirt and debris off. Do not use harsh chemicals or anything too forceful.
3. Store them properly: Keep your AirPods Pro 2 in their charging case when not in use to protect them against dirt, scratches, and misplacement due to drops.
4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Extreme temperatures deteriorate battery life and performance at best.
5. Only Use Original Accessories: Only ever use Apple-certified accessories to ensure your device is in optimal condition and to prevent potential harm.
