I would suggest as entry level some Tascam models, which you might find (used) on eBay as well as new. DR-05, DR-07, DR-40. There may be newer versions of some of those, too.

In practice, most of the time it's Airpods because that's what I have handy when I get time to make some beats. Far from ideal though.
