AirPods 4 & 3 trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
Version
AirPods 4 with noise cancellation earn the most.
Battery
Shorter battery life reduces the offer.
Case
The case must charge and hold a charge.
Sound
Both sides should sound equally clear.
Condition
Scuffed cases lower the grade.
Are my AirPods 4 & 3 eligible?
Both sides need to play sound, you need both earbuds and the original case (except AirPods Max), and they must be removed from Find My, genuine and legally yours.
Scuffs and shorter battery life can still qualify at a lower offer. Single earbuds, loose cases, replicas or AirPods still in Find My can't get an instant quote. Full eligibility rules.

Before you sell
- Remove the AirPods from Find My (Find My app > Devices > Remove This Device).
- Clean the earbuds and case before packing them.
- Send both earbuds with the original case.
