Father’s Day Sales have turned out some impressive tech deals as well as some deals on official sports merchandise. But with Father’s Day now essentially here, these sales are all about to end. I thought I’d take one last look at what Amazon’s Father’s Day Sale still has to offer, and I’ve turned up some really cool pieces of tech that should interest a lot of people. There are some gaming deals worth pouncing on, as well as discounted Bluetooth speakers, wireless earbuds, self-heating coffee mugs, and even more. So if you’d like one last shot to save before Father’s Day weekend is out, read onward for all of the details on the best of what’s left.
Razer Universal Xbox Controller Quick-Charging Stand — $30, Was $40
This Xbox universal quick-charging stand is on sale for $30, which is 25% off for Father’s Day. It delivers convenient power management through a magnetic contact system that securely mounts Xbox controllers while providing fast-charging capabilities. It’s compatible with Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Elite Series 1 wireless controllers. It’s able to charge these controllers to full capacity in under three hours with built-in overcharge protection to prevent overheating and short-circuiting.
The stand’s ergonomic design allows for one-handed navigation through the Xbox dashboard even when your controller is docked. In a power pinch, you can even maintain gameplay while the controller is in the dock, though it isn’t going to provide quite the same experience as being charged up and unwired. This quick-charging stand is available in a variety of colors that match official Xbox controllers, and it uses the same durable materials and premium finish as Microsoft’s first-party hardware.
Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker — $30, Was $45
This portable Bluetooth speaker packs a ton of sound, and it’s marked down to $30 for Father’s Day. That discount is $15 off, as the Anker Soundcore 2 regularly goes for $45. Anker makes some great alternatives to more well-known brands, and with the Soundcore 2, you can count on quality treble, mids, and bass with little, if any, distortion. It connects to devices over Bluetooth, so it’s compatible with iOS and Android, as well as things like home theater setups and gaming consoles.
This speaker is made mostly with portability in mind, however, so it’s something you’ll likely get the most value out of when kicking back with tunes or a podcast. The Soundcore 2 can get up to 24 hours of playback between charges, so you could even take it on a camping trip without having to worry about a charging source. Its lightweight and portable design keeps it from taking up too much space in backpacks, purses, and suitcases. A pricier option would be the Beats Pill, which is also on sale at Amazon.
JBL Vibe Beam Wireless Earbuds — $40, Was $50
If you’re looking for an affordable but powerful set of wireless earbuds, you’ll definitely want to pounce on this deal. It sees the JBL Vibe Beam marked down to $40, which is 20% off their regular price. JBL knows its way around a set of earbuds, and these have precision-engineered drivers that produce rich, detailed sound. They even have an IP54 rating, which means they’ll resist water and dust, making them perfect for the gym as well as for the outdoors.
The Vibe Beam provides some of the most impressive battery life you’ll find in a set of wireless earbuds. They can get eight hours of life all on their own, and with the included charging case, they’ll get an additional 24 hours of playback. If you manage to run them dry while in the middle of something, you’ll only need to plug them in for 10 minutes to get an additional two hours of life out of them. You could also check out the Beats Studio Buds+ Father’s Day deal if you aren’t into JBL.
JBL Go 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker — $40, Was $50
If you have a need for some serious portability, the JBL Go 4 is about as small as you’ll find. It’s marked down to $40 for Father’s Day, and you shouldn’t let its small size fool you. This little speaker delivers JBL Pro Sound with rich, punchy bass, and it’s able to connect any Bluetooth device over advanced Bluetooth 5.3 technology. You can even pick two of these speakers up and pair them together to create room-filling stereo sound.
It doesn’t take a long look at the JBL Go 4 to see that its main priority is portability. It’s pretty much pocket-sized, allowing you to take it truly anywhere. It has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof certification, ensuring reliable performance in any environment. This thing can survive the pool, the beach, trails, campgrounds, and more. You’ll be able to get up to seven hours of battery life out of it before it needs to charge back up.
Nextmug 14-Ounce Self-Heating Coffee Mug — $100, Was $130
Nobody likes a cold cup of coffee, and with the Nextmug self-heating coffee mug, you won’t ever have to think about it. You’ll find it on sale for $100 at Amazon, which is $30 off its regular price. This is the 14-ounce model, which comes in a ceramic matte finish that covers a stainless steel body. It’s capable of keeping beverages at precise settings for hours without requiring the clutter of smartphone apps or complex setups.
The Nextmug self-heating coffee mug comes with a docking coaster that keeps it charged up between uses. It’s an ideal mug for home offices, workplaces, man caves, and garages. It has a spill-resistant lid and an ergonomic design. LED lights indicate real-time temperature and battery status, while the ergonomic handle makes it easy to move about while always having a hot cup of coffee in tow.
Amazon Fire TV Soundbar — $190, Was $250
If you’ve got a gaming setup — or any kind of entertainment setup — that’s short on sound, that can be affordably alleviated with the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar. With this deal, you can get it for $190, which is a whopping $60 off its regular price. This is the perfect alternative to an underperforming set of TV speakers, and it provides 3.1-channel sound. It produces heavy bass, crisp dialogue, and quality all-around sound, especially for the price.
The Fire TV Soundbar connects easily to TVs using an included HDMI cable. You’ll be able to access features like Dolby Atmos 3D sound and DTS: X, both of which help create a super immersive experience. You can even use the Fire TV Soundbar to stream audio. It can connect to your phone or tablet over Bluetooth, effectively becoming a Bluetooth speaker for your home. If you’d like access to streaming content with similar simplicity, check out this deal on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds — $200, Was $250
The Powerbeats Pro 2 are a set of wireless earbuds made for people who like to listen to their favorite music while being active. They’re on sale for $200, which is $50 off their regular price. They’re often the earbuds of choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, as their design allows them to stay in your ear better than traditional earbuds. The Powerbeats Pro 2 have secure-fit ear hooks that have been tested to stay in even during intense training sessions.
These earbuds are similar to the Beats Studio Buds+ in terms of the audio produced. You’ll find active noise-cancellation and transparency modes available, as well as up to 45 hours of battery life per charge. One unique feature of these earbuds is that they’re able to do some health monitoring while you have them in. They also have an IPX4 rating, which protects against sweat and water damage.
Garmin Forerunner 265 — $350, Was $450
Another piece of tech for those who like to stay active is the Garmin Forerunner 265. The popular smartwatch and fitness tracker is on sale for $350 for Father’s Day, and that’s an impressive $100 off its regular price. You’ll find just about everything Garmin has to offer in its smartwatches here, including more than 30 activity profiles. This watch can track your activity while running, cycling, swimming, and much more, including more complex things like triathlons.
The Forerunner 265 is a great alternative to some of the other Father’s Day smartwatch deals I dug up. It has an AMOLED touchscreen as well as traditional button controls, and it can deliver up to 13 hours of battery life between charges. It can also function as a more practical everyday smartwatch, providing access to Garmin Pay for contactless payments, as well as music storage and smart notifications from your phone.
