What to Gift on Father's Day 2025: The Ultimate Audio Guide for Dads

Dads. They might not always say it, but in their own weird, goofy ways, they love us fiercely. So, for a dad who has everything and offers everything, what else can we give this Father’s Day that truly hits the mark?

This Father’s Day, bring your powerhouse of a dad to JBL’s powerhouse of a selection. This guide is for everyone figuring out what present to get — whether you're buying for your own dad, the father of your children, your brother, or a mate. We've got ideas to celebrate Father’s Day for all, even if you're after something simple yet awesome.

For the Tech Dad

Is your dad always chasing the latest tech, upgrading his gear before you even know what it is? Then the JBL Tour One M2 is the perfect Father's Day gift. 

These powerful over-ear headphones boast Smart Ambient and Smart Talk features, so he can stay plugged into his tech podcasts without missing a word from his favourite child (that's you, by the way, after you buy him these).

For the Gamer Dad

If your dad likes to unwind after a long day by diving into his Steam library, the JBL Quantum 360 Wireless is the Father's Day gift idea he didn't know he needed. 

This wireless gaming headset gives your old man total freedom of movement with lossless 2.4GHz wireless and a detachable boom mic, ensuring everyone's locked in on the same goal. He may not be Lachlan Power, but he'll be pretty close.

For the BBQ Dad

For the dad who loves firing up the barbie for a weekend feast with the family, the JBL Charge 6 is the perfect present. 

This outdoor Bluetooth speaker is built for any occasion, boasting Auracast™ multi-speaker connection and lossless audio playback. It even doubles as a built-in powerbank, so his phone won't die mid-sausage sizzle. And with a new removable handle strap, your dad can relive his boombox DJ fantasies, much to everyone's delight (or your embarrassment).

For the Outdoors Dad

If your dad loves nothing more than a weekend drive down the coastline, wind in his hair (or what's left of it), then the JBL Soundgear Frames are a cracking Father’s Day gift.

Because nothing says Aussie like a pair of sunnies, and these sunglasses with speakers add his favourite tunes to the mix. They offer UV A/B blocking and are water-resistant, plus they're prescription-friendly, so everyone can wear them. Now he can cruise with his tunes without blocking out the sounds of the open road (too much).

This is a perfect gift idea for the dad who's always the life of the party.
