The weather is getting nicer, and spring break and festival season are almost here.
And of course, it’ll be more expensive to travel this year than in previous year. With rising travel prices on everything from gas prices to airline tickets, it’s nice to find clever ways to save money however you can.
Whether you plan to travel or stay home for spring break or will be traveling to a music festival this year, earbuds are a great addition to your tech gear. If you don’t have room in the budget for the more expensive, noise-canceling earbuds like Airpods, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds or Beats Power Beats Pro, you can get a decent pair of in-ear headphones for less than $25.

Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds
$19.99
$24.99
20% off
Soundcore by Anker P20i headphones are a solid choice for budget shoppers, and they’re on sale for $19.99. As one Amazon shopper put it, “They fit perfectly and the sound quality is amazing.”
If you’re looking for earbuds that won’t fall out, these comfortable earbuds are designed to stay put during your commute and your workout. They offer up 30 hours of playtime in the charging case, and 10 hours on a single charge.
The earbuds feature 10mm dynamic drivers to deliver rich, well-balanced sound. Bluetooth 5.3 technology helps ensure a stable connection for clear, skip-free music, and the earbuds are fast charging (10 minutes gets 90 minutes of play time).
These true wireless earbuds are outfitted with AirWings with a hollow, silicone build that deflates and conforms to the shape and size of your ears. The earbuds have an IPX5 waterproof rating, which means that 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 a stream room.
You can pair them with your iPhone or Android for a perfectly immersive listening experience, while you travel to your spring break destination.
If you’re looking for earbuds under $20, the Toxo A1 Mini wireless buds are 50% off at Amazon, which drops the price down to $15.29.

Jack Black‘s animated film takeover is continuing as he returns as Po the panda in Kung Fu Panda 4. The actor has been dominating the screen with his viral performance as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros. movie, which landed him on the Billboard Hot 100 for his electric breakout hit “Peaches.”

And Kung Fu Panda 4 won’t be the last animated film that Black lends his voice to: He’s also planning to join another video game-turned-movie for Minecraft alongside Jason Momoa. Until then, the Jumanji actor will bring Po back to life onscreen as he faces new foes and adventures on his kung fu journey.

Is Kung Fu Panda 4 Out Now?
Kung Fu Panda 4 premiered in theaters on March 8, and you can still get tickets to the movie to watch the latest film on the big screen.
In the fourth installment, Po (Black) is asked to evolve from the Dragon Warrior to the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. But, before he can undertake his new responsibilities (and figure out what it means to be a spiritual leader), he must find and train someone else to become the Dragon Warrior. Matters only get more complicated when a mysterious and powerful shapeshifting sorceress, Chameleon (Viola Davis), sets her sights on Po’s staff of wisdom, which would give her the power to summon all of Po’s past villains that he vanquished to the spirit realm.
Other cast members include Awkwafina, Dustin Hoffman, James Hong, Bryan Cranston, Ian McShane and Ke Huy Quan.

Saturday Night Live‘s Bowen Yang dropped by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday night (March 11) to deconstruct his hilarious Moulin Rogue spoof with Ariana Grande on this weekend’s SNL. “That was very fun,” Yang said of the bit with his Wicked co-star in which they imagined what the movie musical would have been like if director Baz Luhrmann had been able to grab the rights to some other popular songs.
“No play, she’s a real friend,” Yang said, adding that someone had asked him backstage if he was intimidated to sing with the pop diva. “I was like, ‘it never occurred to me’… that I was singing with her and that I should be intimidated. She’s so disarmingly wonderful and great and it was just so fun to do it,” he said.

Yang also told a hilarious performing skills origin story about how as a kid he used to haunt the Dance, Dance Revolution game on display at his local Best Buy, which was, naturally, situated next to the Costco at Park Meadows Mall in suburban Colorado. The game was set up in the middle of the store and Yang said he’d compete with the staff to see who had the slickest, fastest feet.
Trending on Billboard
“And all these, like, 25-year-old goths were shaking in their boots when this 14-year-old Asian kid would walk into the store and everyone would scurry,” Yang said. “Because I was about to hand their asses to them dancing to Kylie Minogue!” The SNL breakout star said he would go every week and by the third month he had developed his well-deserved DDR ass-kicking reputation.
It was such a formative experience that Yang said he thinks he could play the Super Bowl halftime show, because, like his DDR clinics, he’s used to having an audience behind him. “Because it’s a 360 stage and I’m performing to the people behind me,” Yang boasted.
Yang also talked about his instant classic “Bowen Straight” sketch from two weeks ago in which the out comedian made out with host Sydney Sweeney and actress Gina Gershon. “I gotta tell you guys something. You know when you have a head injury and you can’t see colors quite right?” Yang said. “I feel like I got hit in the head by these two women and I’m still a little straight… I understand why Austin Butler talked like Elvis for a while after the movie. I think for a couple more weeks I’m still straight… ladies get in there!”
The first part of the Wicked musical will open in theaters on Nov. 27.
