The weather is getting nicer and spring break and festival season is almost here.

And of course, it will be more expensive to travel this year than last year. With rising travel prices on everything from gas prices to plane tickets, it's nice to find smart ways to save money however you can.

Whether you're planning on traveling or staying home for spring break or heading to a music festival this year, headphones are a great addition to your tech gear. If you don't have room in the budget for more expensive noise-canceling headphones like Airpods, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, or Beats Power Beats Pro, you can get a decent pair of headphones for less than $25.

Anker's Soundcore P20i headphones are a solid choice for budget shoppers and are on sale for $19.99. As one Amazon buyer said, “They fit perfectly and the sound quality is amazing.”

If you're looking for headphones that won't fall out, these comfortable headphones are designed to stay in place during your commute and workout. They offer up to 30 hours of playtime in the charging case and 10 hours on a single charge.

The headphones feature dynamic 10mm drivers to deliver rich, well-balanced sound. Bluetooth 5.3 technology helps ensure a stable connection for clear, skip-free music, and the headphones are fast charging (10 minutes gets 90 minutes of playtime).

These true wireless headphones are equipped with AirWings with hollow silicone construction that deflates and conforms to the shape and size of your ears. The headphones have an IPX5 waterproof rating, meaning they can handle rain and workout conditions, but they're not designed for showering or swimming, and you don't want to wear them in a sauna or room with a stream.

You can pair them with your iPhone or Android for a perfectly immersive listening experience while traveling to your spring break destination.

If you're looking for headphones under $20, the Toxo A1 Mini Wireless Buds are 50% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to $15.29.

Like the Soundcoare, the Tozo headphones are equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, sound isolation, noise cancellation and have an IPX5 rating, but offer less battery time (six hours compared to 10 hours, 24 hours in the charging case).
