Should I keep this series going?
oh yesh
Yes definitely
Yess definitely
Heck yeah
I started repairing tech myself cuz of you
Do you think you could do a video of tearing down an Amazon renewed iPad? My sister recently got one from there and it’s a little suspicious to me. 😅
They’re just reselling returns
Maybe they somehow buy them from people for cheap, replace the eartips and boom, profit
Yup
@@ServeraServera0 Or worse: the people buy new ones, put their used ones in it and return it.
@ Even even worse case scenario: The airpods get swapped for fake ones on a og case and then get returned
@@bassproduktions8080Amazon lets people do that
I don’t know why anyone would buy refurbished airpods pro 1 for $220 when new airpods pro 2 are $250. And they are often on sale for $190
Keep in mind prices in this video are in Canadian $
@@PhoneRepairGuru 220 Canadian to USD is 150 dollars… You can find perfectly fine used AirPods 1st gen for like 100 USD. 150 dollars for used AirPods Pro 1st gen is a scam, maybe with 2nd gen pros it would be more worth it but still. Also the rating for the refurbished AirPods is 3.5 which is low.
@NeevGoyal-jb2cf New airpods pro 2 were on sale for $160 on black friday
yep! i got my airpods pro 1 off ebay for 30$ because the seller had them listed as for parts not working but when i messaged the seller about if they worked they said they worked fine so i bought them! that was 2 years ago almost and they still work fine and yes they are real also!
I bought my second gen usbc for $170 on amazon and they've been great so far.
My AirPod pros don’t work on the find my app when I got them because it said the parts were mismatched, that’s definitely something else to check when getting refurbished!
Check what model your airpods are, I had the same problem and it was because the buds were usb-c (A3047-48) and the case is lightning, this won’t work together but will charge and pair. I suggest to turn off the Find My Network in settings for some functionality!
Didn’t think of that, good point
why does that happen? are the airpods earbuds from different cases?
@@Lowaza Probably got mixed up in the process of refurbishing, i got them really cheap so i bought a new case from Apple claiming battery issues on the old one and have had no problem since
@ I honestly don’t know, But what I do know is that it lost me my AirPods
I do have some AirPod pros. I noticed some static on my left one too. I realized it had something to do with aftermarket tips. I replaced em multiple times until i found a pair that worked flawlessly. Try testing em with original tips
interesting
2:53 shock scared tf outta me bra😭🙏🏼
I'm really messing with the renewed/refurbished videos man, keep em coming
I bet they just cleaned them
When I worked in magazines, it always held that if the headline was a question, the answer would end up being 'no'.
To be honest though, your video's title could have just been "Can you trust Amazon", and the rule would hold!
Top work spending out to help us all buy wisely.
I think that the first pair was probably a returned brand new unit, but because the seals were opened amazon decided to sell these as refurbished, ignoring the customer state of the left AirPods crackling while playing music.
Hello? Love your videos. Respect for the effort❤❤❤
0:52 "I'VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE!!!" 🗣️🔥🔥
That's exactly what I wanted to say 😂
never thought id learn so much just watching your 60sec vids. thanks bossman and best wishes for the new year
It’s definitely a gamble with refurbished AirPods Pro. You might snag a great deal, but it’s always good to watch out for potential hiccups
Shut up bot
Wow you are so beautiful
dead internet theory
ok ai
@@seanlacroix what is wrong with you ?
The biggest surprise when I ordered refurbished, it came with 2 years of apple Care+ and wasn’t advertised. Also, with first gen, there is a known issue they they will replace for free which I had done with my gen 1 pair. But still curious if any of the 3 you got have apple care+ randomly. Good video regardless.
Rip to AirPods Pro gen 1 having this static issues every time. that’s a mic issue on the buds themselves, and why Apple changed the mic position on the gen 2’s. Still stupid the refurbished company didn’t catch that.
I work in “refurbishing” products we basically get customer returns and clean them with windex and rubbing alcohol and sell them after “testing” for like 10 seconds and we don’t put them in our year for hygiene purposes so sometimes you can get absolute lemons 💀
I watched your videos very informative and you did a fantastic job with this video keep it up 👍
I love coming back from school and find PRG Upload in my recommended, this will be a good video for me to watch while I’m eating or while I’m doing homework.
Appreciate you!
4:30 The left earpod sounds like that because the speaker coil has loosened up. Did they put it to the scarlet fire treatment?
Dankpods mentioned?!?!?
@RizzukuMidoriya Yup I did mention DankPods
*IS THAT A DANKPODS REFERENCE!!!! 😤🙀*
Hey phone repair guru, what do I do about my AirPod pros, my ones also have that crackling noise when I use ACN or Transparency
You have good timing cuz I was thinking about buying renewed AirPods
Airpods 4 brand new cost not much over 130 pounds here in the UK
@ yes but I need the seal for better noise cancellation cuz I’m a carpenter
@ I believe they're still cheaper than what he's paid for those
You know it's a great day when you see prg upload
@@TechPark-v1j hello
@@Batcave4956 what
The second pair static noise reminded me of the option / feature of static noise Apple devices and AirPods can play. Maybe it activated itself?
These videos keep on getting better each time ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
My old AirPods Pro have same issue on one left one. When you put it in you hear cracking noises for few seconds or until you tap it by finger.
I got a refurbished pair of AirPod 3rd gen’s from Walmart a few years ago, and they still work pretty well today. The only things I found off about them is that the find my feature didn’t work since the individual AirPods were likely swapped, but now after I disconnected and reconnected them, it works as it should
How do they remove the iCloud tracking?
the original owner needs to remove them from their icloud account. If its still tangled to an iCloud account the reseller/refurbish company wont buy the device.
Quick fact: there was a problem/bug with the first generation of AirPods Pro where the same static crackling started occuring. It was really common and went so far that apple created a policy, where they would swap your pair for free if you started noticing the same issues. Theres no cause figured out (apple just accepted it, lol) and I suppose that the crackling of the second pair of the video was caused by the same thing. as to the first one it just sounded like the speaker inside wasn't properly attached to the frame and had space to vibrate.
At dis point, renewed means broken 😂 lol.
Hey PRG, it isn’t the refurbished company’s fault with the first right airpod. What happened with the first gen was that they ALL were defective. They even have an ongoign lawsuit on selling knowingly defective products. Apple even has a support page for first gen airpod pros taht crackle. Cya
Amazon claimed to have tested them..
Dude, why waste your money on a pair of refurbished AirPods just wait till around Christmas. I got the AirPods Pro second GEN with USB-C for $170 brand new.
I got it for $190, slightly higher due to non American Apple tax
Hey waste his money to make sure others dont.
Had the same issue for my AirPods Pro first gen 2 years ago. Apple actually created a recall for them and I got a new pair that works flawlessly till now.
That left pod got bro geeking😂😂😂😂
I bought refurbished airpods pro 2nd gen from factory direct before they closed down and they worked great. They even still had about 8 months of apple warranty still on them.
The static is crazy 😭 kudos for giving us a demo tho!
Aren’t the AirPods Pro 1st gen the ones with bad audio quality ? Because I have them and they have the audio issue and there specifically bought from apple when they came out
The static sounds is a first gen airpod defect, apple's site acknowledges it. It happens with Noice Canceling or Transparancy mode.
Apple have a recall program for airpods pro that crackle. Got my first gen airpods pros replaced like 2 years ago
Hey, I have a DJI mini 3 with a broken arm I was wondering if you would be able to repair it and how much it would cost. I also sent this message through TikTok.
I feel like the static thing happens on like all AirPods Pro 1st gen. haven't had any issues so far in terms of static or wear on my second gens with usbc.
Is it possible to repair the bezel on an iohone XS max? The bezel on my phone snapped right above the silent switch
I love this guy so much.
I’m good with tech too.
Wish we could collab one day.
These are my old AirPods Pro (1st gen). Hated the crackling and random LOUD static 😖 brought them to an Apple Store and told me they would test them but couldn’t guarantee anything. Luckily they picked up on the crackling issue, but there was no official recall from apple I don’t think. They gave me my old case back and told me how to pair these replacement buds to it. I upgraded to AirPods Pro 2 a year later, and gave my 1st gens to my partner. The replacements have worked well for her, but the case battery eventually died. Replaced the case and we have the AirPods Pro Ship of Theseus complete! I don’t think Apple stores will take these back anymore though… it sucks that these are still out there and being sold! It’s the worst feeling to pay so much for what you think is a good pair of headphones (and at times they do work well), but then have this problem always there in the background
I got a pair or renewed airpods pro from them last year. 2 weeks into using them the sensor in the left airpod that tells it when the airpod is in your ear stopped working which rendered it useless. Stuck in normal mode with no transparency or nc, and i couldn't use controls like skip or play pause
Can you try out the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9
Love your videos ❤❤
Live in the US. Bought renewed AirPod Pro 2s, arrived in original packaging. This may be a regional thing
Hello, I bought some AirPods 2 Pro but the Spatial Audio is not working, why is that happening?
You should try back market ones
It was the same static in my v1 Pros that lead me to move on to the 2nd gen. I would never by used AirPods (except maybe Max). Even if they sound okay the tiny batteries may be at end of useful life.
may be it worth it in my place cause we dont had static problem here
Why is it in a sketchy package????
Because when they trade it in they normally don’t ask for the original box
hi, the 1 pair's left pod crackling issue, i also have a same kind of an issue. with my airpods 3 left bud. thinking to replace the buds but do you know if there's any fix that i can try beforehand except resetting which i've already done with no luck?
I bought a pair of Gen 1 AirPods Pros refurbished on Amazon a month after they originally came out and sold out everywhere else. Then, a year or so later, those AirPods had the weird rattling issue that needed to be fixed at the Apple store. Despite my means of purchase (and no proof at the time), the Apple store still replaced them with brand-new AirPods. And that's my story of how Apple turned my refurbished AirPods into new AirPods.
I have the airpods pro 1 since 2020. Static sounds problem appeared two years ago. Apple replaced them for free since there was an official replacement programme running. Everything was ok until last November. Now i have once again the static sounds on the right pod plus people cant hear me clearly in a call. Airpods pro gen are obviously not reliable. Today i am getting airpods pro 2. Hope that these problems are fixed.
What is the air noise?? On the AirPods
How do I tell in Amazon for renewed products since I’m broke
My airpod pros gen 1 do the same thing as the left
I bought a refurbished Apple Watch from Amazon and it stopped working after a month and a half and tried to call 911 by itself and then eventually turned off and wouldn’t turned back on
Im certified to repair apple products and its not uncommon for someone to buy renewed airpods that have these same issues. They usually are still under the 1 year apple warranty so you can get a free replacement as long as there is no damage to the airpods or case and pins.
oh yeah that static thing is so annoying, this is why i avoid any cheap/budget earphones. they are so static after a while
I bought a “refurbished” Apple Watch Series 8 Stainless Steel for $379 USD. It was a white box return with 100% battery health and zero scratches, scuffs, etc.
The Spanish voice are yours? It feels so different I usually watch you in English but TH-cam put me de audio in Spanish and feels so weird, but he translates very good!
if that the case with the refurbished airpods i think is better buy second hand and do a really good cleaning, not worth the risk
i guess they have dipped airpods in isopropile alchohol to clean them and same thing happened to mine airpods as i dipped them in alchohol cracking sound and static sound , but cleaned as good as new :) and then apple replaced them as they are unable to find water damage .
Now make one on Amazon refurbished iPhones!!❤❤❤
I just bought airpod pro 2 on Amazon for 205 didn’t realize that they were used then I saw a brand new pair for 195 I bought those too and just returned the used ones why would anybody wanna save a couple of bucks on an everyday use item I have no idea I’m just glad that I caught the mistake that I made and purchased the new ones
I love your vidoes keep up the good work
How about Amazon editors choice
I got a renewed Apple Watch Series 7 and they literally put epoxy on the cracked screen then put a series 3 screen protector on it to “fix” it. Had a friend replace the screen for $50, shows how cheap they are.
This is an AirPods Pro 1 specific defect. Sure it’s not acceptable, but since we don’t know specifically what causes these AirPods to output static (Apple definitely does know) we can’t know for sure if the refurbishing company didn’t experience it durning testing and the Static defect happened when the AirPods were just laying around at the warehouse.
5:16 Bro turned into Jerry Rig Everything for seconds💀
That weird crackling sound is an OEM airpods issue........even my airpods have them
You should test those airpods at the barber 💈 😉
I bought refurbished airpods once. Not from amazon, but local refurb iPhone store. Both were cracking like crazy lol. I’ve returned them the next day I recieved them. Good “quality control”…
9:05 stop checking the glue of the cases because I have my very fake Airpods with very fake cases, but the glue on there is crazy 😮
Stop checking?…so the fakes without the glue should get a pass…
Love Your videos and you’re awesome 📦📱🍎😲🎁
I just think they were cleaned and checked if music can be played as I believe there is no non apple way to test these. I also don’t think that they will be repaired as the expertise is too expensive. I don’t think that they even run spectrum analysis and a human might not be experienced enough to distinguish between good and bad sound. Don’t expect a new product if you buy second hand is my experience. If you can’t inspect or test a thing easily don’t expect a refurbisher to test everything. In my experience they can only detect surface level stuff.
4:32 that’s what my brothers AirPods sound like but he had AirPods 3rd I had the AirPods second gen before he got the 3rd and my AirPods 2nd gen right airpod made that sound and it stopped working like the sound and everything else worked the left one worked perfectly fine but my brothers AirPods 3rd gen both of them were making that sound and he had gotten them the year they came out and at the end of the year they started making that noise but still work just still have the weird noise I now have the AirPods 4th gen noise canceling and they are actually really good just have to wear them in at first bc they will feel uncomfortable at first but now they feel nice and comfortable and have a snug fit
Yeah it’s going to be an easy pass on my side putting something that was in somebody else’s ear 🤢 even when it comes to someone that I know I’m really not a fan of letting them use mine
S25 ultra transparent video when?
Love those videos❤❤
Just got the pro 2s had the original pros and would still get 3 hours of noise cancelling after two years of daily use but man the 2nd gens lasts twice as long the noise cancellation is better not 50% like they claim but it is noticable only thing that sucks is im an android user so I cant just put it into normal mode only transparancy and noise canceling but still the best noise canceling earbuds ive ever used
I personally would never buy used airpods just because of those issues. I mean, I recently upgraded from iPhone 7 Plus to 12 Pro Max and it was already a pain to take everything apart and replace the battery which was at 54% with Apple genuine replacement battery from their self repair program but with airpods you just throw them away if they break after the warranty and you don't get 6 months of free Apple Music with a used product.
3:37 to my other activities 🌚
Love ur videos
Repaired AirPods…
Didn’t see the video till now but what should they repair there? That are fr just AirPods they got back and everything they will do is to replace the tips as long the AirPods seems fine…
(And in worst case they didn’t even done this I think…)
Hello I have been watching your videos for a while man and you can’t believe how much I loved them but for the love of god don’t do that again with your ears 💔💔
Like trying out suspicious stuff
You have that device with the ears for a reason
Those are your ears man you can’t fix or replace them
All the love and support for you 🤍🤍🤍
Ebay is chock full of "seller refurbished" simply used earbuds or watches as refurbished. All that has been replaced is maybe a watch band or charger with a shit generic. I always lean with manufacturer refurbished which comes with a two year Allstate warranty which has been painless for me when I've had to use it
Buying used or refurbished things is scam lottery, people most of the time don't refund this, because it wasn't bought as "new" and it was cheaper than new item... So these scammers get away with it. Selling fake airpods is whole other story...
That left one tho😂
The only company that you can ever trust with refurbished airpods etc is apple. Apple offers refurbished tech and they ACTUALLY know how to do things properly.
I am watching this video using these exact airpods listening to airpods through airpods at 4:51!
Wasn't this title changed from "amazon scammed me" or something like this??
That’s why I will spend a little extra money and buy brand new,especially when it comes to electronics of all kinds
Cool vid I am a big fan
I got scammed the Same way i orderd „renewd“ AirPods But got send fakes when i send them back and gave them a Bad Review they ofert me 100€ or an Apple wacht when i remove the Review
Bro can you put a lithium ion battery in i phone 13 mini
