GoKawiilFather’s Day is just around the corner, and we’ve got a whole bunch of tech-focused recommendations for gift ideas for the dad in your life. Whether you’re looking to take advantage of some killer deals on Apple’s versatile lineup of Beats headphones, add an Apple Watch to his arsenal, or upgrade his tech everyday carry, we have some ideas for you.
Powerbeats Pro 2
I’m a huge fan of the Beats product lineup. Whereas Apple only makes AirPods in a couple of different shapes, Beats has a full spectrum of options.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 are my favorite option, packing an ultra-secure fit thanks to a clever earhook design. They also feature a built-in heart rate sensor, so you can track your data during workouts even if you don’t wear an Apple Watch.
Powerbeats Pro 2 also offer many of the same iOS integration features as AirPods, such as one touch pairing, Audio Sharing, Personalized Spatial Audio, and more.
Here’s what I wrote about Powerbeats Pro 2 in my full review last year:
Powerbeats Pro 2 are the perfect iteration of the product line. They maintain the fan-favorite design while simultaneously making key improvements to the form factor, like the slimmer earbuds and smaller charging case. Battery life is stellar and performance is excellent thanks to the H2 chip. The secure fit is still unmatched. The Powerbeats Pro 2 release is the latest piece of evidence that Beats is firing on all cylinders right now. They represent the company’s most ambitious product yet, combining a significant form factor revamp and first-of-its-kind heart rate monitoring technology.
You can buy Powerbeats Pro 2 from Best Buy today for $199.99 — that’s a $50 discount compared to their usual $249.99 price tag.
Beats Solo 4
If the dad in your life is in the market for over-ear headphones, Beats has you covered there too. I absolutely love the Beats Solo 4, which feature an on-ear fit and an ultra-light design. They way just 217 grams, compared to AirPods Max at 385 grams and Beats Studio Pro at 260 grams.
