Not everybody is comfortable buying “renewed” or “refurbished” products, but you can sometimes get a much better deal on a product if it’s listed as renewed. I personally haven’t had an issue buying renewed products from Amazon or Best Buy. The deals listed here are mainly from Amazon, which says, “Renewed products work and look like new” and are backed with a 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee. Sometimes the box may be generic and accessories like the headphones included with phone may also be generic.
Best Buy uses similar language for its Geek Certified Refurbished products: “Refurbished products are repaired and restored to a like-new state (may have minor scratches), either by one of Best Buy’s in-house repair centers, the manufacturer or a third-party refurbishment company. The products are verified to work properly and include all essential parts and accessories (original or comparable substitutes). They’re also backed with a 90-day warranty.
Note that I’ve used or reviewed all these headphones — albeit new versions of each.

Beats Powerbeats Pro: $150
Save $50 versus new
They’ve been overshadowed by the new AirPods Pro, but some runners and gym rats may well prefer the ear hook design that keeps these true wireless headphones in place during any activity. The price on these fluctuates between $130 and $150. It’s also worth noting that new version, which lists for $250, is frequently discounted to $200. That’s why we’re saying the savings is $50 rather than $100.

Jabra Elite 65e: $35
Save $100 versus new
The Jabra’s Elite 65e is a neckband-style headphone that features active noise cancellation. When it came out in the spring of 2018, it was one of the first headphones to feature Bluetooth 5.0 and carried a list price of $200. The noise-canceling feature is only so-so, but the headphone sounds decent and offers good call quality along with a comfortable fit. You can pick it up for as low as $35.

Sony WH-XB900N Extra Bass: $90
Save $110 versus new
The Sony WH-XB900N Extra Bass has a similar design to the WH-1000XM3 and shares many of its features but costs $110 less. It’s a comfortable headphone, has USB-C charging, good battery life and effective noise cancellation that’s not quite as good as the 1000XM3’s. It works decently as a headset for making calls, and the sound quality is quite good as long as you don’t mind a preponderance of bass. The gray version is the model discounted on Amazon.

Sony WH-H900N
Save $70 versus new
The Sony WH-H900N is also called the h.Ear On 2. It’s a better headphone than it gets credit for. While its noise-canceling function isn’t quite as good as the WH-1000XM3’s — and it isn’t quite as comfortable — it’s well built and is an impressive-sounding headphone.
