Apple AirPods 2nd Generation (save$80)

$89 at Target

While it's been years since the second-generation AirPods was released, the wireless earbuds remain a popular pick among students, remote workers, and consumers on the go. It comes in an iconic, long-stem form factor that helps to keep the buds lying against your ears while extending the built-in microphones enough for excellent voice quality. Most importantly, the AirPods sport Apple's H1 chip, meaning the low-latency wireless connection pairs to iPhones, iMacs, and other Apple devices with a flick of the charging case. 

Speaking of which, you can expect up to 24 hours of battery life when using the AirPods with its charging case and up to five hours standalone. When low, the Lightning cable that you'd use for your iPhone will do the trick. 

These AirPods typically hover around the$120 price point, so this anti-Prime Day offer at$89 makes it one of the best affordable picks out there.
