This is the best AirPods Pro 2 deal I've ever seen – and it's only at this retailer
When it comes to wireless earbuds, there's really nothing quite as good as Apple 's AirPods Pro. There's a reason why I choose them as my go-to headphones – great noise-cancelling, spectacular sound and comfortable. But the issue is (as with a lot of great tech), they don't come cheap.
Right now, the second-generation AirPods Pro will set you back around £189 at most retailers. However, I've just spotted a deal from OnBuy that stopped me in my tracks. The earbuds are reduced to an all-time low of £166.
But, the savings don't stop there, as you'll also get £16.60 in cashback when you buy the headphones from the retailer. This can be used on your next order to help you save on even more gadgets. The additional saving means the price of the AirPods have plummed to £149.40.
Still need convincing? Keep reading to find out why these headphones are a tried-and-tested favourite with our tech team at The Independent.
Compared to its predecessors, the AirPods Pro 2 offer better noise cancellation, increased battery life with up to six hours of listening time and improvements in audio quality. Tech critic, David Phelan, put these features to the test in his Apple AirPods Pro 2 review and found the sound quality 'pretty impressive' with noise-cancelling that 'was good enough to reduce continuous sounds such as engine noise on a train'.
To help you get the best sound isolation, there are four sizes of silicone tips plus personalised spatial audio. The latter is a clever feature that uses the camera on your iPhone to adjust the audio depending the way your ear looks. If you've got a tablet or MacBook, the personalised settings will carry across to these devices too.
Apple's wireless earbuds come with USB-C charging, and if you have a MagSafe charger you can use this to charge them too.
It's rare for the AirPods Pro 2 to drop in price, so now is a good time to snap up this deal. You don't have long though, as it's only available until 11:59pm on Monday 2 June.

Americans living in the UK try Cadbury's Bournville for the first time - and Brits are quick to point out their big mistake
An American couple living in the UK have filmed their first taste of Cadbury 's Bournville - and Brits were quick to point out their big mistake. Brianna Sky Morton and her husband Thomas have been testing British snacks and sharing their reactions on social media since moving to the UK in 2022. The couple have amassed more than 54,000 followers on TikTok, with viewers recommending what sweet treats they should try next. In a clip posted on May 8, Brianna and Thomas try Cadbury's Bournville - a dark chocolate bar that has held a place in the nation's heart since 1908. Named after the Bournville factory in which it was first made, the bar has a cocoa content of 32 percent, making it darker than milk chocolate but lighter than most dark chocolates on supermarket shelves. 'You guys have been asking and we finally got it,' Brianna excitedly says as she holds up the recognisable red and gold packaging. But after breaking off a piece for herself and popping it in her mouth, Brianna's face immediately screws up. Meanwhile Thomas is more impressed by the classic British treat and says: 'I can do it. Dark chocolate is supposed to be healthy too. I kinda like it.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brianna Skyy Morton (@briannaskyyyy) 'It's growing on me,' Brianna interjects. 'It is so different. It's not bad it just really took me by surprise.' To which her husband replies: 'I wish it was creamier. I think it's a really good dark chocolate though.' 'It is better than American dark chocolate though,' Brianna adds. The video, which was seen by over 17,000 people across TikTok and Instagram, sparked much debate in the comment section - with many Brits pointing out what they deemed to be the couple's big mistake. 'I've never known anyone to just eat Bournville,' one disgusted user commented. 'If you're buying Bournville, you're baking a cake,' they insisted. A second viewer agreed: 'I only use this when making desserts like a dark chocolate mousse. It's perfect for stuff like that.' But other Brits came to the couple's rescue, with one clarifying in the comments: 'I buy them just to eat!' The video sparked debate in the comments, with some Brits arguing that Bournville is just for baking As well as its original dark chocolate version, Bournville comes in different flavours including orange, mint crisp as well as rum and raisin. 'No, no, no...' one user protested. 'If you're going to try Bournville, it needs to be old Jamaican Rum. 'Now that is a chocolate bar.' Taking a more diplomatic approach, another advised the American couple: 'My mum loves the rum and raisin Bournville. 'They have more than just the plain dark chocolate.' This is not the first time Brianna has stirred up a debate in her comment section. In April, the American blogger posted a video to her account listing the words she had to Google when she first moved to the UK. The first word the content creator listed as unusual was 'busking', referencing performers and singers on the UK streets, leaving many users confused on the social media platform. Hundreds took to the comments to query if the US have an equivalent name for a busker, but most speculated that Americans simply call them 'street performers'. The next word on Ms Morton's list was 'chinwag', a piece of British slang believed to have derived in the 1800s from the physical movement of a face while speaking. She said: 'I had to look that up. I'd never heard it before, but it just means to have a chat with someone.' Some similar American equivalents to the term are to 'have a convo', a 'chitchat' or to 'shoot the breeze'. Another remark by the TikToker which left some users scratching their heads was her reference to the common use of the phrase 'innit' in England. She said: 'Instead of saying isn't it, [people will say] innit. It's funny because they took a short word and made it slightly longer.' Those in the responses said Ms Morton had again misunderstood the use of the slang and that 'innit' was in fact, a shorter version of the phrase.

Fascinating historic photos reveal what one of UK's most famous seaside resorts looked like before feral youths on e-scooters began terrorising locals
Although its bustling pier and popular beach might convince you otherwise, Bournemouth actually started life as a remote and little-visited heathland. The town first began to establish itself as a seaside resort after a doctor named Augustus Granville included Bournemouth in his book, 'The Spas of England', which encouraged tourists to enjoy the benefits of British sea bathing. Bournemouth's Winter Gardens were finished in 1875 and the town's Pier opened in 1880. It became even more popular as a holiday resort when the dawn of the UK's railway network enabled Londoners to reach the town much more easily. The town's population soared over the 1900s, rising from just 17,000 in 1880 to 150,000 in 1990, according to Visit Bournemouth. While it remains a popular seaside destination, some residents have claimed that 'antisocial behaviour' is now damaging Bournemouth's reputation. A local resident told the Mail that some of the worst offenders are people whizzing around on e-scooters. MailOnline Travel is diving back into Bournemouth's past with this fascinating collection of historic photos... Bournemouth Pier is seen here in around 1910. The pier was opened in 1880 and cost £21,600 to build. According to Bournemouth Pier, the pier was the 'place to be see and been seen in your best clothes' Pictured above is the Cliff Lift at East Cliff in the early 20th century. The lift opened in 1908 and was electronically operated. Sadly, the East Cliff Lift is currently out of action, following a landslide in 2016 This photo, taken in the early 1900s, is titled 'The New Undercliff Drive'. The Undercliff Drive is a scenic coastal route that stretches from Bournemouth to Boscombe Pier Rollerskaters are pictured on Bournemouth Pier in the early 1900s. The unusual activity began in 1898 when a special deck was opened on the pier. Skating hours were generally on Tuesday and Friday afternoons Children are photographed as they play in the Children's Garden at the Pleasure Gardens in Bournemouth in the 1920s. Like many seaside towns, Bournemouth had large gardens for tourists to enjoy as well as the beach A group of female holidaymakers are photographed as they enjoy the solarium at the Tolland Hotel in Bournemouth in 1930. Solariums were generally designed to allow tourists to enjoy the sun even when it was windy Children are pictured playing by the water in one of Bournemouth's parks in around 1930. Visit Bournemouth explains that the city grew in the early 20th century with many new theatres, cafes and hotels opening to cater to holidaymakers Holidaymakers are photographed on the beach at Bournemouth in 1931. The Bournemouth Belle train launched in 1931 and carried Londoners to Bournemouth on a direct journey Tourists are seen on Bournemouth Beach in 1954 during what the photographer describes as 'bracing weather' in August Crowds of holidaymakers are pictured on Bournemouth Beach in August 1970. Bournemouth remains a popular holiday destination today and its beach has frequently been recognised as the country's best

Study reveals life-threatening risk of vaping ban that comes into force today...as rule breakers face prison
The disposable vape ban imposed today could backfire, putting hundreds of thousands at risk of dementia, heart disease and organ failure, a new study has suggested. According to research involving 750 UK adults, 42 per cent of vapers will consider returning to lethal smoking if all vapes are banned. Over a quarter of participants also admitted that they have no plans to change their vaping habits, even in light of the disposables ban. As of today, 1 July 2025, shops and businesses can no longer sell disposable vapes, in a bid to stop young people engaging in the harmful habit. Breaching the ban could result in a number of penalties across the UK, including a minimum fine of £200 for businesses that sell disposable vapes in England. Repeat offenders will face up to two years in prison. Trading Standards will also be able to seize any single-use vapes they find. But, research commissioned by Vape Shop suggests the move risks undermining the Government's progress towards a smoke-free Britain. An estimated 5million single use vapes are thrown away every week in the UK. The new poll revealed that 44 per cent of vapers said they originally started vaping to quit smoking. Of the 750 vapers surveyed, 27 per cent admitted that they plan to continue vaping, despite the upcoming ban, with 52 per cent already using refillable and chargeable vapes. Chris Price, E-Commerce Manager at Vape Shop said: 'These findings show a real risk that following the disposable ban, we may see thousands pushed back to smoking—the very habit vaping helped them quit. 'With the 2030 smoke-free ambition, it's important that policy decisions don't undermine progress made over the last decade,' he added. The poll comes as a modelling study conducted by the Future Health Research Centre found that while the ban could see up to 378,000 people give up vaping, smoking rates could sky-rocket. The model scenario indicated that between 90,000 and 200,000 more people could pick up smoking following the ban. Richard Sloggett, the report's author and a former government advisor, said: 'The Government has committed welcome and strong action to reduce smoking and tackle youth vaping. 'However these findings show that urgent work is needed to ensure that efforts to reduce youth vaping do not have the unintended consequence of increasing the numbers smoking – particularly amongst younger people. The ban also feels like being a missed opportunity, with hundreds of thousands of people soon to be looking for alternatives to disposable vapes but over half saying they will simply switch to another product. 'With the ban looming, the Government now needs to get on the front foot, commit to a national mass media anti-smoking campaign and set out more clearly how it will use its forthcoming regulatory powers through the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to help ensure that those using disposable vapes do not turn to smoking instead.' According to Cancer Research UK, vaping is far less harmful than smoking. This is because, according to the NHS, vaping exposes users to fewer toxins and at lower levels than smoking cigarettes. Smoking has been linked to at least 16 different types of cancer as well as various heart and lung diseases, infertility and a host of other complication, killing over 8million people every year. Analysis by the cancer charity found that on average, nearly 160 cancer cases attributed to smoking were diagnosed every day in 2023. However, research presented by Manchester Metropolitan University earlier this year challenged this, suggesting vapes could pose a similar health threat. Researchers say this is because vapes allow people to inhale nicotine as a vapour—produced by heating a liquid typically containing a mixture of harmful chemicals and flavourings. Experts are concerned this high nicotine content increases heart rate and blood pressure, as it does in smokers, making blood vessels constrict and damage artery walls. In the Manchester study, researchers tracked volunteers, aged 27 on average, all of whom had a similar level of fitness. They were given regular stress tests to measure the elasticity of their blood vessels and the speed of blood flow to their brains. Both smokers and vapers achieved a flat reading, signaling they had damaged artery walls that can no longer dilate—an almost certain sign of future serious cardiovascular problems, the researchers concluded. Further tests proved that the blood flow in smokers and vapers is similarly impaired, making them at risk of developing cognitive dysfunction, including dementia. Last year, MailOnline also discovered the number of adverse side effects linked to vaping reported to UK regulators has now eclipsed 1,000, with five of them fatal. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 8million people die from tobacco use every year.
