Used price spread on eBay

Before you buy a used AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

  • Confirm it is the ANC version, not the standard AirPods 4
  • Verify the serial number with Apple's coverage lookup
  • Test that the case charges on a wireless pad
  • Ask for the battery runtime of both earbuds
  • Make sure they are removed from the seller's Apple Account

New, used or refurbished?

Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
