Looking to sell your AirPods or trade in your old Apple earbuds for cash? Envirofone is the UK's most trusted place to sell AirPods — helping customers trade in their tech since 2005 and paying out over £160 million. Whether you want to sell your AirPods because you've upgraded to the latest AirPods Pro 2, need extra cash, or simply have an old pair gathering dust in a drawer, we make it fast, free and simple. Unlike Apple's own Trade In programme, we pay real cash — not Apple Store credit — directly to your bank account on the same day we receive your AirPods. Every pair we receive is either restored and given a second life or responsibly recycled — nothing goes to landfill.
Search for your AirPods above — AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or any numbered generation — and tell us about the condition of both the earbuds and the charging case. You'll see a no-obligation price straight away.
Accept the offer and we'll post you a free Enviropack with a sturdy padded box and prepaid Royal Mail tracked label. Pop your AirPods and their case inside and drop it at any post box or Post Office — shipping is always free.
We test your AirPods on the day they arrive. If the condition matches what you told us, payment is processed the same day via bank transfer — or choose Envirocash for a 7% bonus towards a refurbished device from Envirofone.
We accept every generation of Apple AirPods. Whether you're selling the latest AirPods Pro 2, the premium over-ear AirPods Max, or your trusty original AirPods, we offer the same free postage, same-day testing and same-day payment. Pick your model below for a direct quote, or use the search above for any other set of earbuds or headphones you'd like to sell.
AirPods Pro command the highest trade-in prices in the AirPods family thanks to active noise cancellation, transparency mode and adaptive audio. We accept both 1st and 2nd generation AirPods Pro — including the USB-C and Lightning charging case variants — in any condition.
Sell My AirPods Pro →Standard AirPods remain hugely popular thanks to their comfortable fit, instant pairing with Apple devices and long battery life. We accept every generation — from the original AirPods right through to the latest 4th generation, including both the standard and active-noise-cancellation variants.
AirPods Max are Apple's premium over-ear headphones, offering high-fidelity audio, active noise cancellation and spatial audio. Both the original AirPods Max and the refreshed 2024 USB-C model command strong trade-in prices — whichever you have, we'll give you a competitive quote in any condition.
Sell My AirPods Max →If you're looking for an AirPods trade in, you have several options: Apple's own Trade In programme, high-street retailers like CeX, online marketplaces like eBay and Facebook Marketplace, or selling directly to a specialist buyer like Envirofone. While Apple Trade In is convenient, it usually only offers Apple Store credit — not cash — and the prices are often well below market value. Selling on eBay means dealing with buyer negotiations, seller fees, postage costs and the risk of scams or chargebacks.
Trading in your AirPods with Envirofone gives you the best of all worlds: a competitive cash price, no fees, free postage and same-day payment with zero risk. Here's how the options compare:
Whether you call it an AirPods trade in or simply want to sell your AirPods, Envirofone consistently pays more than Apple's Trade In programme and saves you the hassle of online marketplaces. You get real cash — not Apple Store credit — with no obligation to buy a new device or sign up to an upgrade plan.
Use the search above to find your exact AirPods and get an instant quote, or read on for model-specific information about the AirPods we buy — from the original AirPods right through to AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max.
AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are Apple's current flagship earbuds and command the highest trade-in prices in the entire AirPods family. With advanced active noise cancellation, adaptive audio, personalised spatial audio and significantly improved battery life, they're in exceptionally high demand on the refurbished market. Whether you have the USB-C charging case or the original Lightning case, both variants are accepted in any condition.
See AirPods Pro 2 pricesThe original AirPods Pro brought active noise cancellation, transparency mode and spatial audio to the AirPods family for the first time, and they remain hugely popular on the second-hand market. We accept both the original charging case and the MagSafe charging case variants — whichever version you have, we'll give you a competitive price.
See AirPods Pro 1 pricesThe AirPods 4 are Apple's newest standard AirPods, available in two variants: with active noise cancellation and without. They feature a redesigned fit, improved battery life and USB-C charging. Both models are in strong demand — tell us which variant you have and which charging case is included to get your instant quote.
See AirPods 4 pricesAirPods (3rd generation) introduced a refreshed design with spatial audio and a shorter stem compared to earlier generations. They came with both a Lightning and a MagSafe charging case depending on when they were purchased — both variants are accepted in any condition. Search for your model above to get a quote in seconds.
See AirPods 3 pricesAirPods (2nd generation) are still one of the most popular AirPods ever sold, thanks to their reliable pairing, comfortable fit and long battery life. They shipped with either the standard charging case or the optional wireless charging case — we accept both versions in any condition. Even a pair with a scuffed case or shorter battery life still has trade-in value.
Sell AirPods 2Got an original pair of AirPods gathering dust? Even the first-generation AirPods still have value. They were the launch product that defined the true-wireless earbud category and their components can be refurbished or recycled responsibly. Sell yours to Envirofone rather than letting them sit in a drawer — we'll give you a fair quote in any condition.
Sell AirPods 1AirPods Max are Apple's premium over-ear headphones — offering computational audio, active noise cancellation, transparency mode and personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. The original AirPods Max and the 2024 refresh (with USB-C) both command strong trade-in prices because of their premium positioning and refurb demand. Whether yours is in pristine condition or has minor cosmetic wear, we'll give you an instant quote.
See AirPods Max pricesThe 2024 AirPods Max refresh brought USB-C charging and new colour options to Apple's flagship headphones. Because they're the newest variant they hold the highest trade-in value in the AirPods Max family. We accept them in any condition — even with scuffed ear cushions, damaged cables or battery issues.
Sell AirPods Max 2024Search for your AirPods on this page — we accept every generation from the original AirPods right through to AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max. Tell us about the condition of the earbuds and the charging case, get an instant quote, and accept the offer. We'll send you a free Enviropack with a prepaid Royal Mail tracked label.

Envirofone is one of the most trusted places to sell your AirPods in the UK. Since 2005, we've paid out over £160 million to customers and recycled millions of Apple devices. We offer competitive prices, free postage, same-day testing and fast payment. Unlike eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, you sell directly to us — so there are no seller fees, no waiting for buyers, and no risk of scams or chargebacks. And unlike high-street trade-in at the Apple Store or CeX, we usually pay more cash and don't tie you into store credit or Apple Gift Cards.
We buy every generation of Apple AirPods. That includes AirPods (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation), AirPods Pro (1st and 2nd generation, both Lightning and USB-C charging cases), and AirPods Max (both the original and 2024 refresh). We also accept earbuds from Beats, Sony, Bose, Samsung and other major brands — search for your exact model above to get an instant quote.
Yes. We buy AirPods in any condition — whether one earbud is missing, the charging case is scuffed, the battery life has degraded, or they're not charging at all. Select the condition that best matches your set and we'll give you a fair price. Even faulty AirPods contain valuable components that can be refurbished or responsibly recycled, so it's always worth getting a quote rather than throwing them away.
The price depends on the generation, model and condition. AirPods Pro (2nd gen) and AirPods Max command the highest trade-in prices because they're the newest and most desirable models. AirPods (3rd gen) and AirPods Pro (1st gen) still hold strong value, while older AirPods (1st and 2nd gen) are still worth selling rather than throwing away. A set in excellent working condition with both earbuds and the original charging case will always fetch more than a set with missing parts or battery issues — search for your exact AirPods model above to get an instant, no-obligation quote.
We test your AirPods on the day they arrive at our facility. Once they pass inspection, payment is processed the same day. Choose bank transfer for cash straight to your account, or select Envirocash for a 7% bonus to spend on a refurbished device from Envirofone. Most customers receive their money within 3–5 days of accepting their quote, including postage time.
Before sending your AirPods, unpair them from your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch by going to Settings → Bluetooth and selecting "Forget this Device", and sign them out of Find My via your Apple ID. Give both earbuds and the charging case a gentle wipe with a dry cloth to remove any wax or debris — clean AirPods always get a better grade. Keep the original box or retail packaging if you have it, but it's not required for your quote.
Yes. The charging case is essential — without it, AirPods can't charge or pair with your device, so the quote is based on a complete set (both earbuds and the matching charging case). If your case is missing or completely broken, select the condition that reflects that and we'll still give you a price for the earbuds alone, though it will be significantly lower than a complete set.
Selling your AirPods online to a specialist like Envirofone typically gives you a significantly better price than Apple's Trade In programme, which usually offers less and only credits the value to a new Apple purchase. We offer free postage, same-day payment in real cash to your bank account, and no obligation to buy a new device — so you get more money and complete freedom to spend it however you like.
Your AirPods' trade-in value depends on several factors: the generation (AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max are worth the most), whether both earbuds and the original charging case are included, the cosmetic condition of both the earbuds and case, and the remaining battery life. Newer generations hold their value best, but even original AirPods (1st gen) are still worth selling rather than binning. To find out exactly what your AirPods are worth, search for your model above — our prices update regularly to reflect the current market.
Yes. You can sell multiple sets of AirPods in a single trade-in — add each one to your basket, complete the checkout, and we'll send a single Enviropack large enough for all of them. We'll test each pair individually and pay you for the full order on the same day everything arrives at our facility.
Yes. Every pair of AirPods you sell to Envirofone is either refurbished and given a second life with a new owner, or responsibly broken down for parts and recycled — nothing goes to landfill. AirPods contain lithium-ion batteries and rare-earth metals, so keeping them out of general waste matters. By choosing to sell rather than throw away, you're reducing e-waste and the demand for raw materials needed to manufacture new Apple products.
