Chances are you call someone, “Dad.” Whether he’s biological, grand, step, adoptive, or honorary, this fatherly figure is a driving force in your life. This special paternal presence might need a little recognition on occasion, and a thoughtful gift is a perfect place to start. No matter the gifting opportunity, the right present honors the unique human he is. To help you choose, especially for the hard-to-buy-for sort, we’ve curated a list of must-haves for every type of dad.
For all dads:

Each bud, boasting 8.0-millimeter speaker drivers, provides a crisp audio experience so every note sounds as it should. But no matter how good the sound is, some earbuds just aren’t comfortable. (So, what’s the point?) But with these headphones, dads will find a pleasant, unobtrusive fit. Their ergonomic construction is defined by a flexible silicone cap for the ultimate personalization. And an IPX8 waterproof coating ensures that moisture isn’t a bother when sweat or rain happens. When it’s time to power up, these earbuds include a handy storage case that doubles as a charger.
