Audio gift ideas for Father's Day

While Bluetooth is undoubtedly convenient, it also sounds like hell. If you have a budding audiophile in your family, a Chromecast Audio or two is all they'll need to bring their existing stereo into the 21st century.

If your dad is a confirmed audiophile the Roon software (iOS, PC, Mac, Android, Linux) is the ultimate way to organize all of the music stored on his computer, and in the cloud via Tidal. With a beautiful interface it's both a great multi-room player as well as an excellent musical discovery engine. A yearly subscription is kinda expensive for $119 but trust us it's the best music software he will ever use.

Computer speakers. They still make those? If your dad is still using earbuds or worse, the speakers in his laptop, the Audioengine A2+ is a great deal for the money. Just plug the speakers into a spare USB port and the sound will be unlike any PC speaker he's heard before.

If your dad kept his old stash of vinyl records, it's time to upgrade his hi-fi gear with the U-Turn Orbit Basic turntable.

With its dead-simple setup, top-notch parts and a budget-friendly price tag to match, you can easily breathe new life into old records without spending a lot of cash.

If you wanted to buy your dad a cheap sound bar make it this one. The $199 Yamaha YAS-106 may lack a subwoofer but it offers excellent sound quality and HDMI connectivity.

Not to be confused with the Xbox of the same name the Raumfeld One S is a $250 wet room speaker which offers excellent sound quality in addition to both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Whether it's for powering intense gaming sessions or listening to Pandora playlists over Bluetooth, the Pioneer SP-SB23W is arguably the best sound bar you can get for the money.

The VSX-831 offers excellent sound quality in an affordable package -- just add a good set of speakers.

The ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 speakers are one of the best values in music replay. For the extra-special dad on Father's Day.

If you're looking to buy a soundbar without a subwoofer then you needn't look any further than the Zxov SB500. It also has Bluetooth for streaming music from your Dad's phone.
