Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift for your audio-loving dad? I’ve rounded up 13 foolproof options that are sure to be a hit

This multi-award winning turntable is an affordable gateway to excellent-sounding vinyl. In fact, we said it offers the “best sound and value you will find on a turntable at this price”.

If your dad needs an amplifier to go with the above Rega turntable, this Rotel model is a fine choice. It too is a multi-award winner, owing to its excellent built and highly likeable sound quality. For the money, there’s nothing better.

Rounding out an affordable vinyl-based system are the Dali Kupid standmount speakers. Not only do they look fabulous, but they deliver a lively, entertaining sound. Their compact size makes them easy to accommodate in most homes too.

Originally released in 1983, the iconic Sound Burger record player recently made a triumphant return. It's cleverly designed and easy to use, and makes a fabulous and visually striking entry into vinyl sound.

For an even simpler route to vinyl playback, this Sony turntable is as fuss-free as they come concerning setup – in fact, we liked it so much we awarded it 5/5 stars in our 2020 review. Whether dad plays records back via wired or wireless speakers (the latter by way of its Bluetooth connection) it delivers a delightfully musical sound that will satisfy vinyl beginners or those looking for a more hands-off approach.

We gave this Sony Dolby Atmos speaker package five stars in our review, praising it for its ability to comfortably fill a room with impactful, detailed surround sound. Our only real complaint was that it can be a bit fiddly to set up, but we promise it's absolutely worth the effort.

If your dad is an Apple user, the AirPods Pro 3 in-ears make a lot of sense, serving up a comfortable fit, great sound and decent noise-cancellation, not to mention seamless connectivity. The price here doesn't quite match the all-time low of AU$299 that we saw during July’s Prime Day, but any saving on Apple tech is worth considering.

They may now be around five years old, but we still rate the Sony XM4 over-ears incredibly highly. They're comfortable, sound excellent and hold their own where ANC is concerned. We have seen them go slightly lower in price before, but this is still a good saving on what is a very talented set of cans.

For a little extra money, you could get the XM5s instead. As we noted in our WH-1000XM5 review, "If you’re looking for a new pair of wireless noise-cancelling headphones, your auditioning should start here." Packed with incredible sound quality, great noise-cancelling and a superb range of features. Use code AUGDEAL for the full saving.

Bose’s first-gen QC Ultra headphones deliver class-leading noise-cancellation, married with exceptional sound quality. We personally weren't too convinced by the Immersive Audio mode, but the fact the latter doesn't discriminate against source or streaming service means there is still plenty of appeal.

Sennheiser's latest entry to the popular and successful Momentum series impresses across the board. As we said in our review, they're "rich, smooth yet strikingly precise and detailed headphones". Their midrange is the star of the show, but they're able to get low when required. We would like to have seen a slight update to the design, but at least they remain comfortable for longer periods.

This What Hi-Fi Award-winning speaker delivers a sound packed with detail, insight and impact. JBL is so often the king of Bluetooth speakers, and this model proves why. Make sure to grab your own 20% off JBL coupon code from our friends at TechRadar for the best price.

This bigger, beefier JBL portable speaker also won an Award from us in 2025 for its powerful, punchy sound and its ability to reveal great detail. We love how portable and tough it is too.
