My old AirPods Pro 2 look like a pair of ancient Greek vases.

They’re covered in fine, feathery cracks from many drops, dings and scrapes. But amazingly, they still work just fine.

If and when I do upgrade them, my options are limited. I could sell them on Craigslist or eBay, but given their state, the hassle doesn’t seem worth it.

Apple doesn’t buy back old AirPods, and neither do many of the other buyback services. However, Cult of Mac’s buyback program will.

Our buyback service is highly rated and couldn’t be more convenient.

Plus, we pay cash — unlike others that offer purchase credits or gift cards.

We buy back iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Apple Watches, plus other devices no one else will touch, like Apple Pencils, Magic Keyboards, Apple TVs and more.

We even take old and broken devices — and nothing ends up in a landfill.

So if you’ve got an old pair of AirPods or other unused Apple gear, trade them in with us — and use the cash to get a new pair.

With new AirPods, it’s a great time to sell your old buds

With the release of the new AirPods — which are getting rave reviews — why not trade in your old AirPods for real cash?

Apple doesn’t accept old AirPods for trade-ins, and neither will most other buyback services. However, Cult of Mac offers good money for your old AirPods, making your next upgrade more affordable. We won’t leave you waiting weeks for your eCheck, and we promise that none of the tech we receive will end up in a landfill.

So, what are you waiting for? Get a quote for your old AirPods today.

Sell your old AirPods for quick cash

No one really wants to use your grimy old AirPods when you’re done with them. So, instead of handing them down, you could sell your AirPods and turn them into as much as $50 to put toward a brand-new pair (or anything else you want).

Not many trade-in services buy old AirPods, and for the places that do, we usually pay the most.

The process is quick and simple, and you’ll receive your cash in just a few days. We’ll even buy back broken AirPods in need of repair.

Cult of Mac buyback program is quick and easy

Here’s how it works when you sell your AirPods to us:

• You visit our buyback page and get a quote for your old AirPods.

• We’ll send you a box with a prepaid return label that you can use to ship your old buds to us free of charge.

• Once we receive your AirPods, we’ll issue you an eCheck that you’ll receive in around a week.

We won’t fob you off with store credit or keep you waiting. We cough up real cash that you can spend anywhere.

It’s not just AirPods trade-ins we offer, either. We buy many old Apple devices you don’t want anymore, including Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. It all gets recycled or refurbished and resold.

How much can you make with AirPods trade-in?

Cult of Mac aims to pay more than other buyback services, so if your AirPods are still in good condition, you could make a pretty penny. We offer up to $100 for AirPods Max, and up to $50 for AirPods Pro.

What’s more, our quotes are good through the end of October. That gives you plenty of time to buy your new buds this weekend before packing up and sending off your old ones. Visit our buyback site today and secure your quote!
