The 5 Best Father’s Day Weekend Tech Deals on Games, Speakers, TVs, and More

Hopefully, you’re able aside some time this weekend for dear old Dad, but you should also set aside time for deals. Every Friday, I pick out five tech offers that combine massive discounts with top-rated products, and this week is no exception. We’ve got offers as low as 64% off on Bluetooth speakers, PS5 games, TV sets, and more for you to peruse, and the detailed reviews to back them up. Whether you’re shopping for the old man or yourself, these weekend deals will hit the spot.

We gave a coveted Editors’ Choice award to the Beats Pill in our review, raving over the compact and stylish Bluetooth speaker’s assertive and bass-heavy sound. There are tons of portable Bluetooth speakers on the market, but when you discount the Beats Pill to under a hundred bucks it easily becomes a must-purchase. The cylindrical design is rugged and durable, with IP67 dust and waterproofing and the ability to withstand being submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. It also boasts a capacious and fast-charging battery that can get you two hours of listening from just 10 minutes of plugged-in time.

Settling in for summer gaming season? Take the opportunity to slash 48% off of an incredible UHD monitor that will make everything you play look its best. The Gigabyte M28U hits all the marks you need, from ultra-crisp 3840 x 2160 resolution with incredible contrast and color quality, great grey uniformity and wide viewing angles for local co-op play. Support for HDMI 2.1 bandwidth lets you use it for modern consoles at peak settings, and it’s lightweight and easy to set up. The built-in speakers are decent but unspectacular, but that’s a minor complaint. See how it compares on our list of the best gaming monitors.

Amazon’s Alexa smart speaker continues to be the gold standard for smart home connectivity, winning an Editors’ Choice in our review with improved audio quality accompanying its transition from a cylindrical form factor to a cheerful little sphere. If you’ve missed the marketing, the Echo is a multi-tasking master, letting you control streaming services, interface with a massive variety of smart home products, set timers, tell jokes, order from Amazon and more. It’s like an extra member of the household that you don’t have to set a place for at dinner, and a 45% discount is pretty sweet.

It’s getting close to when we’d expect news of a new Yakuza game, which means that the previous installments will see price drops. We raved about Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth in our review, loving the long-running franchise’s unexpected relocation to Hawaii and bevy of new activities, including managing a resort, battling Sujimon and more. If you haven’t played any of these games, they fuse gritty Japanese mafia drama with absurd characters, side stories, turn-based combat, crafting and more. There’s really nothing quite like them, but there’s a reason they have a deeply devoted fanbase.

Finally, here’s a juicy 38% price cut on an Editors’ Choice-winning TV set from Hisense. In our review, lead analyst Will Greenwald called this one “the best budget-friendly TV you can buy,” thanks to its spectacular color performance that shines in high-contrast scenes thanks to the deep blacks and bright LED backlighting with up to 1000 nits peak brightness. The native 144Hz panel is great for console games, sports and other fast-moving content, and built-in Dolby Atmos sound and internal subwoofer pump out high-quality audio. This is the best price we’ve seen this 55 inch set at, so grab it while you can.
