Recently, the staff has been collecting quality Father’s Day gift deals — deals for fatherly gifts that you might not otherwise splurge on. One deal, in particular, is for the JBL Vibe Beam at $50, which is $10 less than its already attractive $60 price. They’re pretty “dadly” earbuds (more on that in a moment) and have a super attractive price point for anybody. Tap the button below to go check them out directly yourself or keep reading for our take on what has to be one of the best-priced headphone deals out there at the moment.
Hold with me. I’m about to argue that the JBL Vibe Beam are some of the dadliest (no, not deadliest, but good for Dad) earbuds out there right now. But keep an open mind, because they just might be perfect for you, too.
The JBL Vibe Beam aim for a deep bass sound, and while that may conjure pictures of young people dancing to the beat, it’s also worth noting that it’s the higher tones that are the first to go as we age. They’re IP54 rated (the buds, at least, the case is IPX2) which means they have enough dust resistance to handle being out in the garage and at least enough water resistance to handle a light rain or the demands of a jog or yard work. Plus, they have a killer battery life, with 8 hours of in-bud battery life and 24 hours of in-case battery life, so if Dad forgets to charge them here and there, it won’t render them useless. Finally, it turns out JBL is about 80 years old, which means the brand recognition is already there.
These are all arguments for buying the JBL Vibe Beam for your father while they’re marked down to $40 instead of $50, but if you want some headphones that you can affordably roughhouse in, they might be right up your alley too.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
