When it comes to wallet-friendly earbud options, AirPods are our favorite to recommend. The audio quality is solid, but the real fun is all the features. These will seamlessly pair to all of your Apple gadgets, and the touch controls on each Pod make them super convenient to use anywhere. And for only $80, these second-gen AirPods are available at a staggering 47% off until they sell out.
