Secure Wired Earphones for Running and Training
The Philips TAA1105BK/00 is a wired sports headphone designed to stay in place during walking, jogging, gym sessions and active daily use. Flexible contoured ear hooks wrap around the ears, supporting the lightweight earbuds without requiring a deep silicone seal.
Each side uses a 15mm dynamic driver with bass vents. The result is clear speech, useful bass energy and a more open listening feel than sealed in-ear sports earphones. A built-in microphone and inline remote make it possible to handle compatible calls and playback without reaching constantly for the phone.
The 1.2m cable is sized for a phone carried in a pocket or armband. Because the headphones are wired, they require no charging and can be used for long sessions as long as the source device has a compatible audio connection.
Flexible Ear Hooks for a More Secure Fit
The contoured ear hooks can be adjusted gently around the ears. They provide extra stability compared with ordinary earbuds, helping the headphones remain in position while the wearer moves.
The earbuds use an open-fit form and sit at the ear rather than sealing deeply inside the canal. This allows more surrounding sound to remain audible, which can be useful during outdoor movement where awareness matters.
Fit the hooks without excessive pressure. The headphones should feel stable but not tight. Users who wear glasses may need to adjust the hook position so it does not compete with the glasses arms.
15mm Drivers with Bass Vents
The 15mm neodymium drivers are tuned for clear sound and motivating bass. Bass vents reinforce low-frequency performance while preserving the open-fit character of the earbuds.
The verified frequency range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Impedance is 16 ohms, sensitivity is approximately 96dB and maximum input power is 5mW.
These headphones are intended for ordinary portable devices. Begin at a low volume and increase only until the music is clear. Excessive volume can mask traffic and other safety cues during outdoor exercise.
IPX2 Sweat Resistance
The TAA1105BK/00 carries an IPX2 rating. This means it is designed to handle limited dripping water and ordinary sweat exposure during suitable use.
IPX2 does not mean waterproof. Do not submerge the headphones, rinse them under a tap, wear them while swimming or expose them to heavy rain. After exercise, wipe the ear hooks, earbuds, cable and microphone area with a soft dry cloth before storage.
Inline Remote and Built-In Microphone
The inline remote allows compatible music and call functions to be managed from the cable. A built-in microphone supports hands-free calls and voice-assistant access where the connected phone allows it.
Button behaviour can vary by operating system, phone and adapter. Confirm that the connected device supports a combined headphone-and-microphone connection.
1.2m Wired Cable
The 1.2m cable is long enough to reach a phone in a pocket without leaving excessive loose cable during movement. A soft rubber anchor helps protect the cable connection near the headphones.
Route the cable so it does not catch on clothing or equipment. Disconnect by holding the plug rather than pulling the wire, and store it in loose loops after use.
