Philips Sound launches two new Fidelio Premium models and two Go Sports headphones plus the first Philips sleep headphones with Kokoon.
TP Vision introduced new versions of its Philips Fidelio premium over-ear ANC headphones and premium TWS wireless ANC earbuds with the launch of the new L4 and T2 models, while expanding its successful Go Series with the A5508 and A5608 sets and is introducing the first Philips branded sleep headphones with the launch of the N7808 developed in partnership with sleep scientists Kokoon.
The L4 continue to use a bespoke, in-house developed 40mm driver which now features a graphene coating to add additional stiffness – but without a weight penalty – to provide a lower distortion for a cleaner mid and high-range sound.
The Philips Fidelio L4’s four-mic Hybrid Adaptive ANC system has also been improved by a relocating the venting port for the mic measuring external noise – feed forward – to the rear of the earcup where it is less sensitive to wind noise.
Battery life has also been improved with the L4 now offering 50 hours of playback – 40 with ANC on – plus with a quick charge of 15 minutes offering five hours of playback.
The T2 earbuds are reduced in size by an impressive 20% with the charging case 40% smaller when compared to the original T1. The highest quality, full range audio performance, continues to be available thanks to the T2’s advanced two-way design with a new, large 9.2mm graphene coated dynamic driver in partnership with a specially optimized, small and very efficient balanced armature driver. Hi-Res audio and an ultra-reliable connection are guaranteed by the adoption of the latest 5.3 version of Bluetooth – with Google Fast Pair – featuring LE audio and the LC3 codec. The T2 also features the option of the LDAC codec to ensure music playback in highest resolution quality.
The A5508 is a new TWS earbud featuring a low distortion 8mm graphene coated driver to ensure great sound quality while the A5608 adopts the latest open ear, bone conducting technology to allow users great audio with the added safety of being able to immediately hear ambient sound – the A5608 also adds extra safety thanks to a built in LED running light in the neck band. The A5508 and A5608 both use the latest ultra-reliable Bluetooth 5.3 with the LC3 codec – offering both superior sound and energy efficiency – and a multi-point connection.
Both headphones have excellent battery life and rapid charging times. The A5508 offers seven hours playback with ANC on – with a further 21 hours from the charging case – with an extra one hour of playback after just five minutes. The A5608 offers six hours playback with an additional one-hour playback available after a 15-minute charge.
Last but not least, the new Philips N7808, the first Philips sleep headphones with Kokoon, offers the perfect answer to the misery of disturbed sleep by helping wearers fall asleep more easily, while also protecting their sleep from outside disturbances.
Designed in partnership with sleep scientists at Kokoon, the N7808 sleep headphones relocate the main electronic components away from the earbud and into a shallow enclosure mounted – but typically not felt while lying – behind the head.
The N7808 works with the Kokoon App to improve the understanding and management of a wearer’s sleep which is continuously monitored via accelerometers and a tiny, optical heart rate monitor within the earbud.
