Consider this yours. If you’re like us, you have a pair of wireless earbuds that you probably use to listen to music playlists or podcasts. But if you’re like us, you also have another pair of wireless earbuds. secondary A pair of earphones, which can be used in the office (for example, to answer calls); or during workouts (when you don't want to overuse your precious earphones); or while traveling (if you want something reliable that you won't be stressed if you lose it or accidentally leave it).
The best earbuds we’ve tested recently are the JLab GO Air POP wireless earbuds, available now at Target. These wireless earbuds are available for just $24 and offer a lot of features for the price. They’re also among the best-rated earbuds online, with more than 70% of users giving them a full five-star rating, out of more than 5,000 verified reviews.

JLab GO Air POP Wireless Earphones
The JLab GO Air POP earbuds deliver powerful, punchy sound, with three custom EQ settings to choose from. While they won’t give you the same deep bass and detail as Bose earbuds, we found the JLabs to be well-suited for everyday listening, with music coming through clear and crisp. For commuting or working out, they’re up to the task.
Speaking of workouts, these JLab earbuds are IP55 rated to be completely sweat, dust, and water resistant. While we wouldn’t recommend using these in the pool, they can survive the occasional splash or rain without a problem. The sweat-resistant coating also makes them super easy to clean and wipe down.
We used these earbuds for running and they were surprisingly comfortable. JLab says the GO Air POP are 15% smaller and 40% lighter than the original GO Air, and we immediately noticed how much better the new earbuds fit in our ears. The inclusion of three different sized gel tips also helped us customize a more secure fit.
Built-in microphones let you use these earbuds for calls, while Bluetooth 5.0 makes pairing quick and hassle-free. You get eight hours of battery life on a single charge, and up to 32 hours of playback time with the included wireless charging case. That’s more than enough for most flights, making these a good pair of travel earbuds as well (for reference, AirPods typically only get 5-6 hours of playback time).
Looking for a great deal on earbuds? It doesn’t get much better than the JLab GO Air POP, on sale now for just $24 at Target. They may be your go-to earbuds at first, but we have a feeling you’ll use them more than you think. Choose from six colors online. See full details here.
