This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
40000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
driver unit size
40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
impedance
32 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
sound pressure level
96dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
has a neodymium magnet
✔Philips TAH8506
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
has passive noise reduction
✔Philips TAH8506
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.

aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
has LDAC
✖Philips TAH8506
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
has aptX Low Latency
✖Philips TAH8506
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).

Gostei muito do fone. Experimentei outros modelos como JBL, Sony e Apple e esse fone me surpreendeu demais. Nem vou considerar um custo benefício, porque ele é TOP mesmo! Muito confortável, para ficar horas com ele, como assistir filmes ou ficar ouvindo músicas por horas, além de uma qualidade sonora muito boa. Tem o Bluetooth multiponto, que permite conectar dois dispositivos ao mesmo tempo. Ex. Tablet e Celular. Tem um aplicativo da Philips, que você baixa para seu celular, que permite equalizar o som o fone. Graves sonoros muito bons. 60h com uma única carga! já estou com ele a há mais de um ano e o único ponto negativo que posso dizer, é que quando você aumenta no último volume pelo fone, ele te da um aviso sonoro (um Bib). O problema é que a música toda baixa e vem esse "Bib" e logo em seguida aumenta tudo de uma vez, isso gera um sério desconforto nos ouvidos. Porém se você aumentar pelo próprio dispositivo, não tem esse alerta (bib). De qualquer forma, parabéns para Philips que tem um excelente fone de ouvido.
