Selling your audio: FAQs
The questions sellers ask most, answered plainly.
Which audio device is worth the most right now?
As of October 14, 2026, the AirPods Max 2 is the most valuable audio device Techtree buys, at up to $260 for a brand-new unit and up to $194 in good condition. The AirPods Max is next at up to $178. Prices are for a complete, working device; the wizard shows the exact figure for your storage, carrier and condition.
How fast do audio devices lose value?
Across the 12 audio devices Techtree has priced for long enough to measure, what we pay in good condition fell 5.9% over roughly the last 90 days (as of October 14, 2026; a model priced for under 90 days is measured from its first price). The Sonos Ace moved the most (-58.3%) and the AirPods (3rd Gen.) held best (0%). Values for most devices fall over time, fastest in the weeks after a successor launches, so a device is worth the most the day you sell it.
Which audio device models does Techtree buy?
Techtree buys 22 audio devices from the Bose Portable Smart Speaker (September 2020) to the AirPods (5th Gen.) (September 2026), paying from $26 (AirPods (3rd Gen.)) to $260 (AirPods Max 2) for an audio device in brand-new condition as of October 14, 2026. Every model listed on this page has an instant quote, free prepaid shipping and a 21-day price lock.
Do you buy earbuds and headphones?
Yes, including AirPods and premium headphones. Include the charging case or cable if you have it.
Does condition matter for audio gear?
Yes. Working, clean units in their case earn the most, and we will still quote devices with wear.
