The AirPods 4th Gen launched in September 2024 as Apple’s most refined open-ear AirPods to that point. A completely redesigned fit, the H2 chip, Personalized Spatial Audio, Conversation Awareness, and a USB-C charging case made it a meaningful upgrade from the 3rd Gen. This is the standard version without Active Noise Cancellation. It found a wide audience among buyers who wanted a better open-ear listening experience without paying for Pro features, and that audience still exists in the resale market.

AirPods 4th Gen Trade-In Value Guide

Condition: Two tiers determine your offer:

• Excellent: Pristine condition, fully functional, no scratches on the case or earbuds, audio and all features working correctly. USB-C charging case charges properly, lid opens and closes cleanly. Less than 10% of pairs qualify. Strongest offer.
• Good: Light signs of wear on the case or earbuds, minor scratches, fully functional, Personalized Spatial Audio and Conversation Awareness working correctly. Strong offer.

Complete set required: Both earbuds and the original USB-C charging case must be included. The quote assumes the case is present. A missing case will lower your offer.

Audio quality: Both earbuds must produce clear, balanced audio with no distortion, cutting out, or volume imbalance between left and right. Spatial Audio should be functional and personalizable.

Conversation Awareness functionality: A key feature of the 4th Gen. If non-functional, select your condition accurately.

Charging case condition: The USB-C case takes more daily wear than the earbuds. Scratches, scuffs, and hinge wear affect your condition tier. Assess it honestly before selecting.

Standard vs ANC version: This page is for the standard AirPods 4th Gen without Active Noise Cancellation. The ANC version has a USB-C case with wireless charging and a front status light and commands a stronger offer. If you have the ANC version, check the correct page before getting a quote.

Battery health: Significant battery degradation from heavy use will affect your condition assessment if charge time is noticeably reduced from new.
