Great headphones were a must-have for me in college. Like a lot of students, I couldn't study without music. Whether you like to study listening to Lofi or Taylor Swift, a pair of high-quality headphones should be on your back-to-school essentials checklist.

Right now you can pick up some top-rated headphones at a huge discount during Best Buy's back-to-school sale. One of my favorite study headphones, the latest Beats Solo 4 are down to just $130 thanks to a $70 discount! 

If over-ear headphones are more to your liking, you have plenty of options to choose from without paying full price. For example, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are $80 off at Best Buy. You can also score the Beats Studio Pro for a whopping $170 off

Treat yourself to a pair of headphones that will help you focus next semester with these top 5 back-to-school deals from Best Buy.
