Buyer's Guide: Best Tech Gifts To Celebrate Father's Day 16

Tablets

People over the age of 40 may start to develop presbyopia, an aging related visual impairment that results in difficulty to read fine print. Hence, fathers in this age group will either have to look further away, or enlarge the text on screen.

A great solution to this is a tablet, thanks to a larger screen space than a conventional smartphone.

iPad Air (5th Generation)

Buyer's Guide: Best Tech Gifts To Celebrate Father's Day 17

For day to day use, our pick would be the iPad Air. It is powered by a fast M1 chip, resulting in minimal lag when using multiple apps at the same time. Your father will be impressed by the massive 10.9-inch retina display, making it a great companion for watching videos or even reading the news online.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4

Buyer's Guide: Best Tech Gifts To Celebrate Father's Day 18

While not technically a tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is a great option for those looking for a tablet-like experience that is also pocketable. Thanks to the company’s experience making Android tablets, One UI is quite polished and has worked with a number of third party apps to optimise for a foldable screen experience.

It also boasts a significantly better camera system than the iPad Air, and when combined with the smartphone sized footprint when folded, it offers the best of both worlds.

Sony WH-1000XM5

Buyer's Guide: Best Tech Gifts To Celebrate Father's Day 20

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is arguably the best noise cancelling wireless headphones in the market right now. It features the best in class noise cancellation performance, offering users a whisper quiet listening experience.

Apple AirPods Pro

Buyer's Guide: Best Tech Gifts To Celebrate Father's Day 21

If your father is not a fan of headbands, then our pick would be TWS earphones. For the Apple users, we recommend the Apple AirPods Pro, now in its 2nd generation. It is the only earphone in Apple’s lineup that has active noise cancellation so this is a no-brainer pick.

It also has spatial audio, a relatively new technology that tracks your head movements, and using that data to project sound in a way that surrounds you. This results in a more immersive audio experience that is perfect for music listening or watching movies.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 offers a lot of noise cancelling and audio performance for the money. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 provides up to 48dB of hybrid active noise cancellation, which can adapt to the ambient conditions to offer a balance between listening comfort and noise cancellation performance.

In terms of audio, it has dual drivers, offering rich and detailed sound that most listeners will enjoy. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is also one of the few earbuds in the market that has Google Spatial Audio enabled, although the implementation is limited to selected smartphones.
