Best TWS Earbuds for Dad
OnePlus Nord Buds 3
If Dad values call clarity over everything else, these are the pick. The 12.4mm titanised drivers deliver surprisingly rich bass for the price, while the AI-powered noise cancellation on calls means he won't have to step outside to take work calls. 32 hours total battery with the case — he can go a full work week without charging.
View Specifications
| Driver Size | 12.4mm Titanised |
| ANC | Up to 32dB |
| Battery Life | 10h (buds) + 22h (case) |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.4 |
| Water Resistance | IP55 |
Realme Buds Air 6
For the dad who commutes by metro or local train, the 50dB hybrid ANC on these is a game-changer. The LDAC codec support means if he's got a recent Android phone, he's getting near-CD quality audio on his Spotify playlists. 40 hours total battery is absurd for this price — plug it in once and forget about it for days.
View Specifications
| Driver Size | 12.4mm Dynamic |
| ANC | Up to 50dB Hybrid |
| Battery Life | 8h (buds) + 32h (case) |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.3, LDAC |
| Water Resistance | IP55 |
boAt Airdopes Loop
Dad doesn't care about specs? He just wants something that works and fits comfortably? The Airdopes Loop is exactly that — a no-fuss pair of TWS earbuds with a secure open-ear design that won't fall off during walks or light jogs. Four mics handle calls well enough, and at under Rs. 1,500, it's the kind of gift you can throw in as a stocking stuffer.
View Specifications
| Driver Size | 13mm |
| Design | Open-ear (non-ANC) |
| Battery Life | 10h (buds) + 40h (case) |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.3 |
| Water Resistance | IPX4 |
OPPO Enco Buds 3
The lightest option on this list at just 3.9g per bud — your dad won't even feel them during long phone calls. OPPO's tuning tends toward a warmer sound signature, which works beautifully for Hindi film songs and podcasts. The 49dB ANC is competitive with earbuds that cost twice as much.
View Specifications
| Driver Size | 12.4mm |
| ANC | Up to 49dB |
| Battery Life | 7h (buds) + 36h (case) |
| Weight | 3.9g per bud |
| Water Resistance | IP55 |
Bluetooth Speakers He'll Love
Sony SRS-XB100
This tiny speaker punches so far above its weight class it's almost unfair. The sound diffusion processor pushes audio outward in every direction rather than just forward, which means Dad can plonk it in the middle of the dining table and everyone hears it equally. IP67 means it survives a dunk in the sink — because that will happen. 16 hours of battery on a single charge.
View Specifications
| Output | 5W (full range) |
| Battery Life | 16 hours |
| Water/Dust | IP67 |
| Weight | 274g |
| Features | Hands-free calling, USB-C |
Croma 20W Bluetooth Speaker
When Dad wants to fill the whole balcony with music, the 20W output and passive bass radiator here deliver surprisingly room-filling sound. The TWS pairing feature means if you buy two (hint hint, siblings), they can pair up for proper stereo. 12 hours of battery and a rugged IPX5 build that handles monsoon splashes.
View Specifications
| Output | 20W |
| Battery Life | 12 hours |
| Water Resistance | IPX5 |
| Features | TWS pairing, mic, USB-C |
| Weight | ~540g |
Croma 8W Portable Speaker
The budget-conscious pick for dads who just want something compact for morning tea and the news podcast. At 8W it won't shake the walls, but it's plenty loud for a room. IPX5-rated, so kitchen splashes and bathroom steam won't kill it. Under a thousand rupees — this is the kind of thoughtful gift that shows you know what he actually needs.
View Specifications
| Output | 8W |
| Battery Life | 8 hours |
| Water Resistance | IPX5 |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.0, AUX, USB |
| Weight | ~230g |
Croma 5W RGB Bluetooth Speaker
For the dad who'd enjoy a little ambient lighting with his evening playlist. The RGB LED ring cycles through colours in sync with the beat — it's a subtle party trick that kids and grandkids will love too. Sound quality is decent for casual listening, and the compact form factor means it fits on a nightstand or desk without hogging space.

| Output | 5W |
| Battery Life | 6 hours |
| Features | RGB LED sync, FM radio |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.0, USB, TF card |

Smartwatches to Track His Steps
Noise NoiseFit Diva
Don't let the name fool you — the AMOLED display and stainless steel build make this look far more expensive than it is. If Dad appreciates a watch that can pass as a regular timepiece in a meeting while still tracking his heart rate and sleep, the NoiseFit Diva threads that needle. The 1.3-inch always-on AMOLED is crisp even in direct sunlight.
View Specifications
| Display | 1.3" AMOLED, Always-on |
| Build | Stainless steel, diamond-cut |
| Battery Life | Up to 5 days |
| Health | Heart rate, SpO2, sleep tracking |
| Features | Bluetooth calling, 100+ sports |
boAt Storm Infinity Max
The big-screen option — the 1.96-inch AMOLED is one of the largest in this price range, which is a genuine advantage for dads who don't want to squint at notifications. Bluetooth calling works well enough for quick calls, and the 700+ watch faces mean he can match it to his mood (or his outfit, if he's that kind of dad).
View Specifications
| Display | 1.96" AMOLED, 60Hz |
| Battery Life | Up to 7 days |
| Health | Heart rate, SpO2, stress monitor |
| Features | Bluetooth calling, 700+ faces |

Noise NoiseFit Twist 2
The round-dial smartwatch for dads who think square watches look like calculators from the 90s. The 1.46-inch round AMOLED with a metallic frame genuinely passes as a traditional watch from a few feet away. Noise's TruSync Bluetooth calling is reliable, and the productivity suite (weather, calendar, find-my-phone) covers the basics he'll actually use.
View Specifications
| Display | 1.46" Round AMOLED |
| Build | Metal frame, rotating crown |
| Battery Life | Up to 7 days |
| Health | Heart rate, SpO2, sleep |
| Features | Bluetooth calling, smart reply |
Grooming Kits for the Practical Dad
Philips 3000 Series 10-in-1 Trimmer
The Swiss Army knife of men's grooming. Ten attachments covering beard, nose, ear, and body — which means Dad doesn't need five different gadgets cluttering the bathroom shelf. The DualCut blades are self-sharpening, so there's no maintenance involved. 120 minutes of runtime from a single charge, and the whole thing is washable under the tap.
View Specifications
| Attachments | 10 (beard, nose, ear, body) |
| Runtime | 120 minutes |
| Charging | USB-C, 1 hour full charge |
| Blade | DualCut self-sharpening |
| Waterproof | Yes (fully washable) |
Philips Multigroom 7-in-1 Kit
A more focused alternative if Dad doesn't need ten attachments — seven tools covering the essentials: beard trimmer, detail trimmer, nose trimmer, and body groomer. Same DualCut blade tech as the 10-in-1, but in a more compact package. 80 minutes of runtime is plenty for a weekly grooming session, and it's about Rs. 500 cheaper.

Croma 30W Party Speaker
If Dad hosts Sunday lunches or occasional get-togethers, this is the gift that becomes the centrepiece. 30W output with dual drivers fills a large room or small terrace with ease. The LED light show is a crowd-pleaser (especially with grandkids), and the built-in mic means impromptu karaoke isn't off the table. 8 hours of battery means the party outlasts the food.
