Premium headphones hold value when they are complete: the case, the cable and both ear cushions in good shape. Offers track the generation and the condition of the cushions and headband more than anything else.

How to sell audio online
Compare and pick a buyer
Choose your audio, its configuration and an honest condition. Every buyer’s published price for that exact spec is shown highest first. Takes about a minute.
Lock the price and ship free
You finish the sale on the buyer’s own site. They email a prepaid label — usually the same day — and hold the quoted price for their price-lock window (7–30 days, shown on every offer). Ship in any box; most sellers use the one it came in.
Inspection, then payment
The buyer inspects within 1–3 business days of delivery. If it matches what you described you’re paid by the method you chose. If they think it doesn’t, they send a revised offer you can accept or decline — declined devices come back to you free with every buyer we list.
Grading your audio: the condition guide
| Condition | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Brand New | Sealed in the box, never activated. |
| Like New | Looks unused. No scratches or marks. Everything works. |
| Good | Light wear you have to look for. No cracks. Everything works. |
| Fair | Visible scratches, dents or scuffs. Glass intact. Everything works. |
| Cracked | Cracked screen or back glass, or one part not working. Still powers on. |
| Broken | Won't turn on, no display, or water damage. Sold for parts. |
One scale, used everywhere on the site. Sealed devices quote at the buyer's Like New price. Worn but intact cushions are Good. Cracked headbands or a dead side are Cracked. Reset the headphones (forget them from your devices) before shipping so pairing is clean for the next owner.
Selling audio online — common questions
Do I need the original case?
It helps. Buyers price the complete unit; a missing case usually means one tier lower, not a rejection.
Can I sell headphones with a dead battery?
Yes, as Broken. Battery replacement is routine for refurbishers, so there is still a floor price.
Why is only one model listed?
We only list models that at least one mail-in buyer publishes a price for. As buyers add models, they appear here automatically.
Is it worth shipping something this small?
Shipping is prepaid, so the only cost is your time. If a local buyer near you lists audio gear, that is usually faster.
