Good to know.
- Find your exact model before comparing used-device values.
- Catalog maximums are a guide; your configuration and condition determine your quote.
- Get your cash offer before deciding to sell or committing to an upgrade.
Identify your device
Check the model information in your device settings and on the product. Distinguish AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation from the standard version, and do not assume a replacement case matches the original generation. If your model or an incomplete set is not listed, contact support rather than selecting a similar product.
AirPods trade-in values by model
Looking up how much your used AirPods is worth? Find your exact model below, then select its options and condition for a personal cash offer.
These maximum advertised values come from GadgetRenu's current catalog, which is refreshed periodically. They are not a guaranteed payout or a quote for every configuration. Your offer depends on the details you select and is confirmed after inspection. Any Fast-Ship Bonus is shown separately in your quote.
| Model | Catalog trade-in value |
|---|---|
| AirPods 4 | Up to $26 |
| AirPods 4 ANC | Up to $41 |
| AirPods Max 2 | Up to $203 |
| AirPods Pro 3 | Up to $68 |
How to compare: use the same model and condition. Cash buyback value, an asking price on a marketplace and upgrade credit are different amounts; fees or required purchases can change what you actually receive.
What changes the value?
Test left and right audio, microphones, charging and supported controls. Note battery behavior and missing components. Do not hide a weak earbud behind the overall appearance of the case. Cleaning improves presentation, but it does not restore battery capacity or guarantee a higher buyback grade.
Buyback is not the only selling option
A private marketplace may be suitable if you are willing to create a detailed listing, verify payment and handle the transaction. Compare realistic completed-sale proceeds after fees and shipping rather than the highest asking price. Read our marketplace-versus-buyback comparison for the calculation; use fees applicable to your actual product category.
Prepare the device before shipping
Use Apple’s AirPods handover instructions to remove the Apple Account association. Forgetting a Bluetooth connection is not a substitute for completing the account-removal process.
Verify your backup and replacement access before erasing or removing accounts. Do not include passwords or recovery codes. If a device cannot be prepared or your condition is not described by the form, contact support first.
