8 Best Headphones and Speakers for Students Before School Starts Again

During the school year, it’s really easy to get distracted when studying, reading, or even working on homework. Students already have so much going on in their lives, whether it be high school or college, and any extra distraction can impact how focused they can be. That’s why it’s important to give students any tools and resources to avoid these distractions, as a little can go a long way.

In addition to back to school necessities like textbooks, laptops for college and backpacks, two great things to buy right now are headphones and speakers. The right headphones can block out outside noise and keep students focused on what’s in front of them, whether at home, in the library or outside. Speakers can of course help set the study music tone if you live alone, or blast some tunes or audiobooks for a group study session to help keep students in the zone. (And, who doesn’t want a portable speaker for their downtime and adventures outside of school?!)

Picking out the right headphones and speakers can be a lot, though, as there are so many different options to choose from. Fortunately, we’ve gathered up a shortlist of great picks with students and tight budgets in mind.
