Description

Philips TAT4556BK/97 True Wireless ANC Earbuds – Black • 🔇 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling reduces steady background noise • 👂 Awareness Mode lets surrounding sound back in when needed • 🎵 12 mm dynamic drivers for full, clear everyday sound • 🔋 Up to 29 hours total play time with ANC switched off • ⚡ 10-minute quick charge provides up to 1 additional hour • 💧 IPX4 splash and sweat resistance • 📞 Built-in microphone, touch controls and mono-earbud operation • 📶 Bluetooth 5.2 with AAC support and up to 10 m range The Philips TAT4556BK/97 true wireless earbuds are designed for commuters, students, office users and everyday listeners who want a more focused listening experience without moving to bulky over-ear headphones. Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling helps reduce steady environmental noise, while Awareness Mode allows outside sound to return when you need to hear announcements, colleagues or nearby activity. Each earbud uses a 12 mm dynamic driver, and the supplied silicone ear tips create a secure in-ear seal that supports bass response and passive isolation. With up to 9 hours of earbud playback and a further 20 hours from the charging case when ANC is off, this model is a practical option for customers buying genuine Philips noise-cancelling earbuds in Kenya. Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling The hybrid ANC system filters unwanted background sound so music and spoken content can be heard more clearly at moderate volume. It is most effective against continuous sounds such as engines, air conditioning and general travel noise. It cannot remove every sudden voice or high-frequency sound, and performance depends on obtaining a good seal with the correct ear-tip size. Awareness Mode for Situational Listening Awareness Mode deliberately allows surrounding sound through the microphones. This is useful for brief conversations, public announcements and environments where full isolation would be inconvenient. It should not be treated as a safety system; remove an earbud when complete attention to traffic or machinery is required. 12 mm Drivers and Secure In-Ear Fit The 12 mm dynamic drivers provide a substantial sound foundation for music, calls, podcasts and video. Three pairs of silicone ear tips are included so you can select the size that produces the most stable and comfortable seal. A correct fit improves bass, ANC performance and resistance to movement. Up to 29 Hours with the Charging Case With ANC switched off, Philips specifies up to 9 hours from the earbuds and a further 20 hours from the case. With ANC switched on, playback is up to 6 hours plus 15 additional hours from the case. A 10-minute quick charge provides up to 1 hour of listening. Actual runtime varies with volume, calls, ANC use and wireless conditions. Calls, Touch Controls and Mono Mode Touch controls manage playback, calls and compatible voice-assistant access. Mono mode allows one earbud to be used while the other remains in the case, which is useful for calls or for extending practical listening across the day. Call clarity still depends on wind, network quality and the surrounding environment.
