Open-ear wireless sports headphones Philips TAA1708YL/97 — beige, bone-conduction, Bluetooth, sweat-resistant

Philips open-ear wireless sports headphones TAA1708YL/97 in beige use bone-conduction technology to deliver audio through the cheekbones while leaving the ear canal open for ambient awareness. The lightweight, ergonomic frame is designed for active use and maintains a secure fit during running, cycling and gym workouts. Bluetooth connectivity provides a wireless link to smartphones and other devices, while sweat-resistant construction helps protect the headphones during intense training sessions.

The open-ear design reduces ear fatigue during long wear and allows safer activities where hearing traffic or announcements is important. Bluetooth wireless pairing ensures a simple connection with compatible devices, and the lightweight build combined with an ergonomic shape delivers comfortable stability for movement-focused sports.

How to use

Place the frame so the transducers rest on the cheekbones just in front of the ears, leaving the ear canals unobstructed. Power on the headphones and enable Bluetooth on your source device, then select the Philips headset name from the available device list to pair. Use the integrated controls to play or pause audio, skip tracks and answer calls. After use, wipe the headphones with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and store them in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For safer outdoor use, keep volumes at a level that allows you to hear surrounding sounds. If you expect heavy sweat or rain, dry the headphones thoroughly after exposure and avoid submerging them in water. Charge the device according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and inspect the frame for secure fit periodically to prevent slippage during vigorous activity.
