Trust me, you can’t go wrong with any of these.
Turntable
The House of Marley Stir It Up Turntable ($229.99) sounds as good at it looks – or maybe looks as good as it sounds. Either way, the eye-catching turntable plays the records that dad has stored away or new ones in the vinyl resurgence.
It features a belt drive turntable with a replaceable needle cartridge, which runs manually with an auto start/stop. It connects to a stereo system with the USB output or use headphones with the 3.5-mm port.
The turntable is built with an aluminum alloy platter and a natural bamboo body, which translates into a piece of art.

Headphones
V-Moda’s Forza Metallo high-performance Bluetooth ergonomic neckband headphones ($170) will rock dad with incredible sound.
Packed into this compact sound machine are dual noise-canceling microphones for handsfree calls and sweat-resistant technology for the new 5.8-mm dynamic micro Hi-Res drivers.
V-Moda describes the sound as “balanced vibrant bass, vivid mids and natural stress-free highs surrounded by a vast 3D soundstage.” The neckband is designed to hide under a shirt collar.
The sound kit includes eight pairs of color-coded soft silicone fittings and three sizes of patent-pending detachable ActiveFlex sport fins. V-Moda tested the construction of the Forza Metallo beyond military-level test standards to withstand everyday activity.
Users will get up to 10 hours of music playback, ultra-fast USB charging and a carrying pouch.
