'Brilliant' Clarkson's Farm book narrated by Jeremy Clarkson is free in Father's Day deal
'Brilliant' Clarkson's Farm book narrated by Jeremy Clarkson is free in Father's Day deal Dad can choose from a wide range of audiobooks in this deal for Father's Day Clarkson's Farm has proven hugely popular, and now dads can read all about it with a free audiobook narrated by the man himself (Image: Amazon ) Knowing what to get Dad for Father's Day can be a challenge, but here's something he might not think about buying for himself. Audible, Amazon's audiobook platform, is offering a special Father's Day deal that includes a free Premium Plus trial, allowing them to listen to all kinds of books as they're going about their daily business. One book included in the offer is Jeremy Clarkson's book Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm, narrated by the man himself. Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm, which follows the former Top Gear presenter as he learns the ways of farming his beautiful land in the Cotswolds, has proven to be immensely popular, and Clarkson's book gives readers some extra insight into his agricultural venture. After the free first month is done, the Audible subscription is then down to £8.99 a month, with an array of books to choose from.

Firstly is the previously mentioned Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm audiobook by Jeremy Clarkson which invites listeners to the English TV presenter's farm and his experience of farming for himself. The book is narrated by Clarkson as he describes his journey with the help from his team including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the tractor driver, cheerful Charlie, Ellen the shepherd and his head of security, Gerald. Other options include The World According to Kaleb, narrated by Clarkson's buddy Kaleb Cooper, in which he speaks about his strong views on many things: sheep, Jeremy Clarkson's farming journey and other topics such as philosophy, why farming is the best job in the world and even goats. Cooper also has several other audiobooks including It's a Farming Thing and Britain According to Kaleb, meaning dad won't be struggling to find books to listen to. If it's fiction that dad prefers to listen to, there are thousands of options on Audible to choose from. For example, there's Stephen King's new release Never Flinch, which is described as a thriller that intertwines a number of storylines, or Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, which follows four unlikely friends in a retirement village who meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders - until a brutal killing takes place on their own doorstep. Richard Osman's books are also available on Audible (Image:) However, Audible isn't the only platform with audiobooks. Shoppers could also try Spotify which offers over 250,000 audiobook titles for Premium subscribers to stream every month. Shoppers can enjoy up to 15 hours of audiobook listening time monthly on the platform, enjoying everything from sci-fi to romance and all in between, as well as music, for £11.99 per month. Apple also has audiobooks available through Apple Books which allows shoppers to buy, listen to and read books. The books on Audible have been rated highly. For example Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm by Clarkson has a high 4.8 out of 5 star rating from over 2000 reviews on Audible. One person said: 'Brilliant book. Having watched the series, I was dubious about the book being a repeat of what I had already watched on TV. But it was actually amazing and funny. I think that the fact it was read by Jeremy Clarkson too made it even better as you can hear how much he enjoyed farming and the lengthy battles that it presents a farmer in the UK.' Jeremy Clarkson during the "Clarkson's Farm" photocall (Image:) Another said: 'Excellent humorous book. I hope there's a follow up. Well worth the money and Clarkson at his best.' 'Jeremy Clarkson is funny… Bravo,' said another. Some people, however, weren't as happy with the audiobook as one person commented: 'Loved the programme and thought I'd enjoy the book but it wasn't for me personally.' Article continues below Another person said: "Brilliant just brilliant I am and always have been a farmer and still find it thoroughly amusing Never a truer word said. Well done Jeremy keep going. However, for a full month free just in time for Father's Day, an Audible subscription could be the perfect gift for dads everywhere.

Beats earbuds that are 'identical' to AirPod Pros drop 56% to £70 in sale
Amazon shoppers praise the Beats earbuds for being of similar quality to Apple AirPods but for a much cheaper price. Wireless earbuds have become an everyday essential item for many Brits as they allow you to listen to your favourite music or podcast without having to get tangled up in wires while out and about. However, for those who are in the market for a new set, it can be a tough decision as there are so many to choose from. For shoppers looking for something budget friendly but from a well known brand, Amazon has dropped the price of the Beats Studio Buds. Normally retailing for £159.99, these earbuds have been said to provide the same sound quality as the popular Apple AirPod Pros - but for a much cheaper price. Currently on a limited time deal, shoppers can now get 56 per cent off these impressive earbuds in either black, red or white. Meaning tech lovers can pick them up for only £69 - saving a whopping £90. The Beats earbuds are said to surround users with sound as it supports Spatial Audio to deliver an immersive experience - ideal for when watching a film or playing a game on a connected device. In order to ensure a comfortable fit, the earbuds also come with three soft, silicone eatip sizes so shoppers can choose which suits them best. The earbuds are also compatible with both Apple and Android devices, although it should be noted that Android users will need to download the Beats app to have access to built-in controls, battery levels and updates. In terms of playback, these earbuds will provide up to 24 hours listening time when used with the charging case. The earbuds also come with two distinct listening modes that users can easily switch between - Active Noise Cancelling and Transparency mode. On top of this, the built-in microphones are said to deliver a high-quality call performance and allow voice assistant interaction. For those who would rather an Apple product, Amazon has slashed £40 off the Apple AirPods 2. Normally retailing for £229, savvy shoppers can now grab these popular earbuds for £189 in the sale. Equipped with the first-ever earbud hearing aid feature, many shoppers have been shocked by the quality of sound that this device brings. Alternatively, Argos has slashed the price of the JLab JBuds Air Pro Earbuds. Normally retailing for £69.99, shoppers can now buy these budget-friendly earbuds for only £39.99. With a total playback time of 36 hours with the charging case, these earbuds are equipped with Bluetooth Multipoint so they can seamlessly move between devices. However, for those interested in the Beats Studio Buds, they currently have a four-star rating thanks to more than 10,800 ratings from shoppers. Many reviewers have raved about the earbuds, with a few admitting that they were bought as a temporary replacement for Apple but ended up sticking with the Beats device instead. One happy shopper said: "I bought these as a temp replacement for my drowned AirPod pros. I won't be buying the AirPods - these have all the convenience of the AirPods with auto connect and noise cancellation but the sound , for me, knocks spots off the AirPod - deep bass and tingling high end - these are incredible." Another five-star reviewer added: "My old AirPods pro were defective with a rattling sound so I need a new one. I have tried these Beats headphones and it's the best choice I could ever have done. "The sound quality is basically IDENTICAL to the AirPods pro, with clean sound, loud enough and strong and deep bass, amazing. The buttons to change song are way easier to click with just one finger tap compared to apple" However, they did note: "The microphone quality is average, the person listening to us might struggle to hear our voice if we are on the street or in busy environments, but for me it's ok as the main thing is the music experience." Another shopper also grumbled: "Thought they would be better than they were. Very tinny for the price, low volume even if I turned it up on my phone. App did very little. Connectivity was poor as if I left a room it would disconnect with a range of 2-3 meters." Despite this, one person said: "Honestly very impressed with the product, the noise cancellation is great, you can choose between 3 settings and they are snug and sexy looking. But not to mention much cheaper than AirPods, I have an apple phone and they pair perfectly just like AirPods but more bang for your buck. I would rate this a good 9/10." While a fifth shopper praised: "Really easy to charge and seems to hold charge for ages. Really comfortable and not heavy in ear. Good sound quality too." Click HERE to buy the Beats Studio Buds.
