You Can Get These 9th Generation IPad Headphones and Beats Flex Headphones on Sale for Just $225.
This refurbished 9th Gen (2021) iPad in Space Gray, complete with Beats Flex Wireless Headphones , is currently on sale on StackSocial for $224.99 (with free shipping!), and for that price it’s a great price. The iPad itself has an “A” rating, meaning it’s in near mint condition with virtually no visible wear—virtually like new, minus the retail price. However, the minimum battery level is 80%; And it’s also Wi-Fi only, so there’s no LTE connectivity, but that’s to be expected.
In terms of performance, the A13 Bionic processor ensures smooth performance during everyday tasks such as browsing, streaming and note-taking. The 10.2-inch Retina display may not be Apple’s most advanced, but it’s clear, bright, and great for browsing or drawing. It comes with 64GB of internal memory, which should be enough for everyday use, but it’s not expandable, so heavier apps or a lot of downloads can fill it up quickly. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage lets you stay in frame during video calls, while the 8MP rear camera is good enough for scanning documents or casual photos. It also supports Apple Pencil (1st generation) , but keep in mind that it’s not included, so if you plan to draw or take handwritten notes, you’ll have to budget for that separately. Battery life holds up well, about nine hours on a single charge.
The included Beats Flex wireless headphones add a bit of extra value, although they’re more of a nice extra than a major selling point. They connect via Bluetooth, have up to 12 hours of battery life, and feature Apple’s W1 chip for seamless pairing with iOS devices. In terms of sound, they’re fine for everyday listening, but they won’t wow you with deep bass or high-end audio clarity. Still, they’re comfortable and lightweight, and if you’re already deeply familiar with the Apple ecosystem, they can be a solid backup pair of wireless headphones. One potential downside is that these are neckband headphones, which some may find dated compared to true wireless options. On the other hand, if you tend to lose small earbuds, this design could be a plus.
With iPad and Beats Flex, you also get a case, screen protector, stylus, and charging accessories—meaning you won’t have to pay extra for the essentials (rare for a refurbished purchase). At this price, it’s a practical choice if you need an iPad for everyday tasks and are happy with a refurbished model. It won’t replace a high-end laptop or iPad Pro , but it does a great job with streaming, light work, and general use.
