Its 14.2mm drivers deliver clear voices and full everyday sound, while the built-in microphone supports calls from compatible devices. Because the earpieces sit at the entrance of the ear instead of forming a tight seal, they can feel less enclosed than conventional in-ear headphones. This makes them suitable for casual listening, calls, online learning and long periods of spoken audio where a user prefers a more open sensation. The wired design requires no charging, Bluetooth pairing or software setup. Connect the 3.5mm plug to a compatible source and begin listening. 14.2mm Drivers with Neodymium Magnets Each earbud uses a 14.2mm dynamic driver with a neodymium magnet. The larger driver diameter helps provide clear mids and useful bass presence while maintaining the compact shape of a traditional earbud. The verified frequency response is 20Hz to 20,000Hz, covering the standard range used by music, podcasts, calls and video content. Sensitivity is rated at approximately 106dB, impedance at 32 ohms and maximum input power at 5mW. These specifications are intended for ordinary portable devices rather than powerful headphone amplifiers. Excessive volume can cause distortion and hearing damage, so begin at a low level and raise it only until speech and music are comfortably clear. Open-Back Earbud Design The TAUE101BK/00 uses an open-back earbud form. It does not use replaceable silicone tips and does not create the same sealed fit as the Philips TAE1126BK/97. An open fit allows more surrounding sound to remain audible and can reduce the pressure some users feel from sealed earphones. It also means less passive noise isolation and generally less deep bass than a correctly sealed canal-style earphone. Fit depends on individual ear shape. The earbud should rest securely without being forced. Customers who require strong isolation or a highly secure exercise fit should choose a sealed in-ear or sport-earhook model instead. Built-In Microphone for Calls A built-in microphone supports voice calls on compatible phones, tablets and computers. It allows the earphones to serve as a simple listening and communication accessory without a separate headset. Remote-control behaviour can vary between devices and operating systems. Core audio and microphone compatibility depend on the source equipment and any adapter used. For clearer calls, keep the microphone section free from rubbing against clothing and move away from strong wind or heavy background noise. 1.2m Wired Connection The 1.2m cable gives enough reach for a phone in a pocket, a tablet on a stand or a laptop on a desk. Wired audio avoids battery limits and can be useful for long calls, lessons or travel. Disconnect the plug by holding its housing rather than pulling the cable. Avoid sharp bends at the plug and earbud joints, because these areas experience the greatest strain during regular use.

Many modern phones use USB-C or Lightning instead, so an appropriate audio adapter may be necessary. Not every adapter supports microphones or inline controls. Confirm compatibility with the exact phone, tablet or computer before purchase. Care and Safe Listening Keep the earbuds dry and do not expose them to rain, sweat or cleaning liquid. Wipe the housings and cable with a soft dry cloth. Store the cable loosely rather than winding it tightly. Avoid placing heavy objects on the earbuds. Listen at moderate volume and take breaks during long sessions. Why Choose This Product?
