Does your dad love to listen to music but he’s rocking an underperforming pair of headphones that won’t reveal the full sonic characteristics of his favourite tunes? Or perhaps he’s got an extensive vinyl collection sitting in the attic, but no turntable to play them on? Whatever his audio concern might be, there’s a solution from the Sound United roster of brands.

For those unaware, Sound United includes big names such as Bowers & Wilkins, Marantz, Denon and Polk Audio, just to name a few. The company is itself now owned by Harman, whose parent company is none other than Samsung. In short, there’s experience and prestige in spades.

And for this year’s Father’s Day in Australia — which lands on Sunday, September 6 — a slew of products in the Sound United portfolio are discounted at JB Hi-Fi, and I’ve laid them all out further down, giving you a variety of options for the audiophile father in your life.

And if you’re not able to get something sorted before September 6, the fortunate news is the following discounts will remain live until Wednesday, September 9.

Denon DP300F
Save 20% (AU$140)
Denon DP300F: was AU$699 now AU$559 at JB Hi-Fi

This Denon automatic record player could be just the thing to dust out your dad’s original copy of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. The fact it’s automatic means he won’t need to lift a finger, other than to press the start button and to place a record on the platter. The deck takes care of the rest, from moving the tonearm into position and moving it back when it reaches the end of the playing side. The cartridge can also be swapped out for other models, so your dad can experiment with the resulting sound.

If it’s improved audio from his TV that dad’s seeking this Father’s Day, this fuss-free Denon soundbar is able to oblige. While it might not support spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, as a simple 2.1-channel audio upgrade — complete with wireless subwoofer — it will reveal a night-and-day difference compared to the sound from a slim TV.

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8: was AU$649 now AU$549 at JB Hi-Fi

If your dad would ultimately prefer an in-ear style of headphone, then you’ll find virtually all of the same great qualities as the Px7 S3 listed above in the Pi8. As we said in our review, they’re “a highly competent set of earbuds and a joy to wear”. They produce incredible levels of detail and dynamism, are obscenely comfortable to wear, have effective ANC and the case can be used as a transmitter, ideal for in-flight entertainment systems.
