If you're looking for one of the best headphone deals before Christmas, then we think you should consider a pair of refurbished earbuds. Not only are they cheaper, but the specialist refurbished retailer Back Market has discounted them further, which means you can snap up the Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $135 (was $145).

This discount is auto-applied at checkout, so don't worry that you can't see the reduced price on the product page. However, there are limited codes available, so the offer will only be live until supplies last, or December 18 – whichever comes first.

We're big fans of the Apple AirPods Pro 2, with instant pairing, outstanding noise cancellation, a fantastic transparency mode, and incredible Spatial Audio. These are the buds to get if you want pro features at a more affordable price. They're also the ultimate earphones for iPhone owners as well as Mac users.

Despite the release of the third generation, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 still top our list of the best AirPods. They boast great dynamic range from bass to treble, detailed and energetic music reproduction, and very strong active noise cancellation. Read more about what we thought of them in our extensive Apple AirPods Pro 2 review.

By utilizing Apple's most advanced headphone chip, they not only deliver fantastic performance but are also one of the most future-proofed options available right now. That means they're likely to still be upgraded with more features in the future, just as they were in iOS 26.

This is a fantastic offer, but if you'd like to shop around, then head over to our AirPods deals page for more options. If you’re an Android user, then you'll be better off with an Android-focused pair of the best earbuds.
