By now, we We all have a favorite pair of earbuds, whether it’s AirPods, Beats, or another audio brand. But we also make a bunch of spare earbuds to keep on hand, which come in handy for work, workouts, travel, or just to change things up.
When it came to a second pair of earbuds, we went with Target's Heyday wireless earbuds. At just $20, they offer a lot of great features for the price, and they're surprisingly comfortable, too—even for extended periods of wear.
Bluetooth headphones
Heyday True Wireless Headphones
These wireless earbuds deliver great sound with easy Bluetooth pairing, while a built-in microphone makes them great for taking calls. A single charge gives you up to five hours of playback time—get up to 20 hours with the included portable charging case. Touch controls on the earbuds let you easily scroll through songs, answer calls, and more.
The best thing about these Target earbuds are the soft, flexible ear tips, which adapt to your ears to fit comfortably and securely. In fact, we were able to take these earbuds on a quick tour without them falling out. Two sets of ear tips are included to help you find the best fit for your ear size.
The earbuds also have an IPX4 water resistance rating. We don't recommend submerging them in water, but a few light splashes and sweat won't affect them at all.
These earbuds are made by Heyday, an exclusive brand for Target electronics that also makes headphones, speakers, phone accessories, and more. At just $19.99, they’re a great deal compared to other budget earbuds. In our tests, they also outperformed most AirPods alternatives. Get the earbuds in four different colors: black, white, lavender, and peach. See the full details here.
ANC earphones
Heyday Wireless Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation
You can also upgrade to the Heyday Noise Cancelling Earbuds , which feature the same great features as the aforementioned Bluetooth earbuds but with active noise cancellation technology to block out background noise when listening to music or taking a call. At just $29.99, the price point for a well-rated pair of active noise canceling earbuds is hard to beat.
Both of these Target earbuds have been our go-tos for trips where we don’t want to risk losing our expensive electronics. The compact case easily fits in a jacket or bag, and the battery life is enough for a short plane ride or a full day of sightseeing.
