What headphones are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised models with replaceable ear pads
- Headband padding with no flaking or splitting
What pulls it down
- Flaking or crumbling ear pads, the most common fault
- Intermittent audio in one ear from a worn cable joint
Working out what yours is worth
- Test both channels at low and high volume for crackle
- On wireless pairs, charge fully and time real playback
Getting it ready
- Clean the earpads and headband thoroughly, and say in the listing that you have. If the pads are perished or flaking, say that too.
- Find the model number and check whether the earpads are user-replaceable, which is a genuine selling point.

Put in the description
- Exact brand and model number
- Earpad condition, and whether replacements are available for the model
Brand and model exactly, plus whether they are wireless and noise cancelling: “Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones”. Model numbers are how audio buyers search. Add whether the original case is included, because for over-ear headphones that materially affects the price.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
