8 Back-to-School Electronics You Should Get at Best Buy

Back-to-school season brings with it many needs for students of all ages. In addition to the binders and books and pens your student needs, there are numerous types of electronics that are necessary and helpful.

Whether boosting your study experience, keeping you connected to a schedule or helping you produce classwork, the following deals on electronics from Best Buy will make your student’s school season as productive as possible.

Whether your student is going back to a K-12 school or college at any level, headphones come in very handy (when allowed). They can even be great for tuning out distractions when it’s time to study or when learning online.

While Bose and Beats brands can be incredibly pricey, Best Buy has these JVC headphones in black on sale for just $39.99, a total steal.

While the world has gone digital in many ways, school is one area where you often still work in hard copy. Students may have to print everything from classwork to photos for projects at school, and Epson makes this super easy with its wireless Epson Supertank Inkjet printer in white.

It comes with up to two years of ink and can be synced via Apple AirPrint, Bluetooth, Epson iPrint,, Google Cloud Print, Mopria Print Service, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and USB 3.0. It’s just $199.99 for this tank of a printer.

Apple watches are a great way to stay connected to your student, or for them to keep up to date on things like calendar reminders, texts and to track exercise and sleep — all things that are essential during the school year. While these can be pricey, this second-generation watch with aluminum case and midnight-colored sport band is just $199.

For the student who doesn’t need over-the-ear headphones, or prefers the lightweight, sleek style of in-ear earbuds, the affordable brand, JVC, offers these wireless earbuds with pillow-y ear tips. They’re water resistant and noise canceling. Better yet, just $49.99.

For those who aren’t committed to the Apple suite of products, Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet A9+ in silver is an excellent, and much more affordable option. With 64 GB and a large screen with HD screen resolution, this 11-inch tablet has great clarity and visibility. Plus, you can always use cloud storage for greater storage capacity. This tablet is only $179.99.

Perhaps nothing is more useful than a laptop computer during back-to-school season. The Dell Inspiron is also a versatile touchscreen, with an Intel core i5, 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. It comes in carbon black. It’s sophisticated enough for photo editing and gaming, but practical enough for schoolwork.

Students of all ages spend a lot of time sitting. School chairs are not notoriously comfortable, so why shouldn’t they sit in comfort when at home? This Insignia ergonomic mesh office chair with adjustable arms is comfort and form in one. You’ll keep your good posture without sacrificing comfort. It runs $149.99.

Portable speakers are great for playing music on the go or even to listen to study lectures. A well-respected brand in amplifiers and speakers, Marshall promises to bring quality sound in a small package with the Willen portable Bluetooth speaker. Its sleek black and brass features make it look cool, too. It lasts up to 15 hours on a single charge and comes with a convenient mounting strap. It’s just $79.99.
