Selling your AirPods: FAQs
The questions sellers ask most, answered plainly.
Which AirPods is worth the most right now?
As of October 15, 2026, the AirPods Max 2 is the most valuable AirPods 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 AirPods lose value?
Across the 8 AirPods Techtree has priced for long enough to measure, what we pay in good condition fell 5.6% over roughly the last 90 days (as of October 15, 2026; a model priced for under 90 days is measured from its first price). The AirPods Pro 3 moved the most (-20%) 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.
