The Dutch multinational founded in Eindhoven but moving to Amsterdam has announced a special device, doubly interesting. One for the movement of its bones, the other because the sports sector has professional hands.
Philips follows through on one of its ideas by presenting a new pair of wireless headphones: the A7607 dedicated to sports. The Philips A7507 is a model that can be identified as the successor to the true wireless sports wearable, announced earlier this year.
The A7607 is an open-ear design, which aims to provide the dual benefits of “excellent musical performance”, but at the same time being able to hear the surrounding environment.
How to virtually eliminate wind and noise
Use of a Bone Conduction Microphone, a first for Philips open-ear headphones, helps to “virtually eliminate” wind and background noise while taking calls on the go. The headphones are IP66 rated for dust and water resistance and promise nine hours of playback on a single charge. there Recharge 15 minutes Give the athlete an extra full hour. The A7607 wireless headphones can be charged through the charging port, which, not to be underestimated, is moisture-proof. But the specs don’t end there.
An added benefit for those who run or bike at night or in inclement weather is Philips’ addition of a red LED strip on the neckband, making the user more visible. A detail that can make a difference.
There are two more models that add to the headphone range: an open earphone K4607 Bone Conduction (price £99) designed for children and the H8507 ‘Hybrid’ for users who use headphones for work and play, a £199 device.
The shot you’re hoping for Phillips Collaboration through feedback with a group of Dutch cycling riders, Jumbo Visma, For cyclists, aiming to create a product (also) for cyclists, that leaves the ear completely free and a clear mind, attentive and well focused on the road.
All Philips models, but including the A7607 sports headphones, can be controlled using the Philips Sound app. The A7607 costs the same as the hybrid model, at £199. It should be noted though that prices are yet to be confirmed in other markets, including Italian, where the Philips device will arrive.
