Philips OpenEar True Wireless Sports Headphones TAA1708YL/97

Our review

These Philips open-ear true wireless headphones sit outside your ear canal rather than sealing it, so surrounding sound stays audible while your audio plays. That makes them a sensible pick for runners, cyclists and gym-goers who need to hear traffic, training partners or announcements, and for anyone who finds in-ear buds uncomfortable over long sessions. The IPX4 rating covers splashes and sweat, and Philips pairs it with 16 mm drivers for sound in changeable weather. Before buying, think about fit and stability during movement, since open designs rely on a secure hook or band, and consider whether you want the isolation that in-ear models provide. Battery life is listed at 8 hours, and call clarity is part of the spec, so they can double as a headset. Compare them with bone conduction and standard sport buds, then check the current listing on Sokonia.
