Philips TAQ2000 Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds
1. Ear-Cuff Style
Enjoy your favourite audio with a different kind of fit. The Philips TAQ2000 features an ear-cuff-style design that clips lightly onto the outer ear. Its flexible joint lets you adjust the grip, while the open-ear fit leaves the ear canal unsealed.
This design may suit listeners who prefer not to insert earbuds into their ears. It also lets you hear nearby sounds while listening, which can be useful during everyday activities. Your listening experience will depend on your surroundings and personal preferences.

2. Open-Ear Comfort for Everyday Listening
Traditional in-ear earbuds seal inside the ear canal. The TAQ2000 takes another approach: its air-conduction drivers direct sound towards your ears without sealing them. This can be a good option if you dislike the plugged-in feeling of conventional earbuds.
The adjustable ear-cuff fit helps you find a comfortable position. Fit can vary between users, so consider the open-ear style and how you plan to use the earbuds before choosing.
A good fit for: listeners who want an open-ear design and prefer not to use traditional ear tips.
3. Battery Life for Your Routine
Listen for up to 7 hours on a full charge, with another 21 hours available from the charging case—up to 28 hours in total. If you need a quick boost, Philips states that a 15-minute charge gives up to one additional hour of play time. Actual battery performance may vary depending on volume, settings and usage.
The charging case makes it convenient to store and recharge the earbuds between listening sessions.
4. Bluetooth and Controls
Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint allows the earbuds to connect to two devices at once, such as a smartphone and laptop. Use them for calls, music or podcasts, and switch between connected devices as needed. You can also use one earbud at a time in mono mode.
On-ear buttons control playback, volume and calls. The Philips Headphones app lets you customize the controls and access features such as Dynamic Bass. The TAQ2000 also has a microphone for calls.
Stable Bluetooth multipoint connectivity
Advanced Bluetooth connectivity gives you a more stable connection for seamless streaming, and you can connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. Enjoy that playlist or listen uninterrupted to your favourite podcast without annoying dips in the sound.
Customizable on-ear controls
There are handy button controls on the earbuds for playback, volume, and calls. Prefer to use the left or right earbud? You can customize how these controls are set up via the Philips Headphones companion app.
