The TAPH805 is one of the lightest models in its class, weighing in at just 235 grams. It is perfect for travelling and easy to store, thanks to a unique folding design that fits into the pocket, or can be folded flat. Users can enjoy their audio from phones, tablets or laptops, thanks to standard Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity.
Easy-to-use physical buttons and touch controls make it easy for users to hear things as they want them. A touch of the headband activates Google Assistant. Physical buttons allow users to play, pause, skip forwards and backwards, or access essential call features.
Swiping on the right earcup controls the volume and basic voice assistant functions, while a single tap activates or deactivates active noise cancelling, or lets users engage Awareness Mode to hear more of the world around them while the audio continues to play.
With a Hi-Res Audio (HRA) source, users get the full benefit of lossless audio that is recorded at a higher sample rate than the CD standard, which is 16-bit encoding with a 44.1 kHz sample rate. Music sounds just as the original artistes heard it, faithfully reproduced by the large, high-quality 40 mm diameter speakers. These are capable of HRA-accredited bandwidth of 7 to 40,000 Hz.
The headphone's Advanced Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) hybrid technology cancels out background noise, thanks to four electret condenser (ECM) microphones - two feedback microphones inside the earcup, and two feed-forward microphones outside the earcup. The earcups are built of soft memory foam for comfort and also help to block unwanted sound.
Users enjoy 30 hours of battery life with two hours of charging. Quick-charge delivers six hours of playback from just 15 minutes of charging, and a five-minute rapid charge is enough for another two hours of playback. The headphones can even be used without battery power, via the included audio cable that is compatible with inflight entertainment systems.
The new headphones are provided by TP Vision, an audiovisual digital entertainment provider. TP Vision concentrates on developing, manufacturing and marketing Philips-branded audio products worldwide. The company combines the Philips brand heritage with its design expertise, operational excellence, flexibility and technology.
