Recently, the staff has been collecting quality Father’s Day gift deals — deals for fatherly gifts that you might not otherwise splurge on. One deal, in particular, is for the JBL Vibe Beam at $50, which is $10 less than its already attractive $60 price. They’re pretty “dadly” earbuds (more on that in a moment) and have a super attractive price point for anybody.

Why you should buy the (very dadly) JBL Vibe Beam earbuds

Hold with me. I’m about to argue that the JBL Vibe Beam are some of the dadliest (no, not deadliest, but good for Dad) earbuds out there right now. But keep an open mind, because they just might be perfect for you, too.

The JBL Vibe Beam aim for a deep bass sound, and while that may conjure pictures of young people dancing to the beat, it’s also worth noting that it’s the higher tones that are the first to go as we age. They’re IP54 rated (the buds, at least, the case is IPX2) which means they have enough dust resistance to handle being out in the garage and at least enough water resistance to handle a light rain or the demands of a jog or yard work. Plus, they have a killer battery life, with 8 hours of in-bud battery life and 24 hours of in-case battery life, so if Dad forgets to charge them here and there, it won’t render them useless. Finally, it turns out JBL is about 80 years old, which means the brand recognition is already there.

These are all arguments for buying the JBL Vibe Beam for your father while they’re marked down to $40 instead of $50, but if you want some headphones that you can affordably roughhouse in, they might be right up your alley too.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
