I tend to judge a company by how it deals with adversity and when things don’t go as planned. I ordered Apple Gen 4 AirPods case and, unfortunately, received a Gen 3 case. After identifying the error... See more

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry to hear you’ve experienced an issue with the sound quality. This is certainly not the experience we expect from our AirPod replacements.
We’ve located your order and will be contacting you directly to get this resolved straight away. You’re fully covered by our 30-day return policy and 90-day warranty, so we’ll arrange a replacement or return for you without any hassle.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’ll make sure this is sorted for you as quickly as possible.
Best wishes,
Freddie

Super website !
This site is super !
Lost my AirPod 4th, on Sunday .
Went to Apple Store - they said £79 for replacement case and need an appointment.
Went home after some research , stumble across the sound cafe
Was worried it’s not authentic Apple products. Then for the price I thought I take the risk …
Placed order on Monday
Received my case Thursday
Paired perfectly fine
Works fine
Grace C - some small marks but other than that works perfect
I am super happy and told all my colleagues about this site. As soo many colleagues have also lost either one or both earbuds / case in the past .
To summarise : I don’t know if it’s authentic Apple product or just simply very good copy . But I am extremely happy with my purchase as it works perfectly well .

New single iPod
I have to give this company 5 stars for delivering what I ordered and within 48 hours.
I ordered a single iPod that accidentally got run over 🤔.
As a parent I’m grateful for someone selling these much cheaper than Apple.

A fantastic company to buy from
A fantastic company to buy from. I bought a 2nd hand replacement AirPod - unfortunately it wasn’t compatible with my charging case so I emailed to explain. I received a very friendly reply almost immediately and within 24 hours I received a new AirPod that works like a dream. All I had to simply do is return the original AirPod with the convenience of a pre-paid postage sticker! It is so refreshing to come across companies such as The Sound Cafe, of whom truly value the customers experience. I’ll never buy from new again now I’ve found these guys! Highly recommend!

Excellent Service
Excellent service and very customer focused. My AirPods and charging case were received in new condition and set up was a breeze with patient guidance. I had originally ordered the wrong side but a full no quibble refund was made following my return. Highly recommended.
