Philips new audio gear brings back the bright bold colors of the '80s

"The collection includes two wireless speakers that both feature Bluetooth 5.5 with Auracast support, an IP67 rating so they can survive the occasional short dunking, 24 hours of battery life, neon colored buttons, and multicolored LED lighting. Cassette tape functionality hasn't been carried forward from Philips' original '80s Moving Sound devices, but both speakers have color LCD screens displaying a stylized animation of spinning cassette reels, and other playback details."

"The larger of the two speakers, the €349.99 (around $403) Tube, has 140W of power coming from two 5-inch woofers, two 1.5-inch tweeters, and a pair of passive radiators to further boost bass performance. The smaller €179.99 Roller speaker (around $207) offers less than half the power at 60W coming from two woofers, two tweeters, and two passive radiators, but is also smaller and more portable."

"The €34.99 (around $40) Ringo Duo are a pair of lightweight on-ear headphones reminiscent of what used to be bundled with portable cassette players. They've got a retro bare metal headband but earcups featuring 40mm drivers, Bluetooth or USB-C connectivity, swappable ear cushions, and up to 26 hours of battery life."

Philips has introduced a new Moving Sound collection commemorating a century of audio equipment production, reviving the vibrant '80s design aesthetic with contemporary wireless technology. The collection features two Bluetooth 5.5 speakers with Auracast support, IP67 water resistance, 24-hour battery life, and LED lighting. The Tube speaker delivers 140W of power with dual woofers and tweeters, while the Roller offers 60W in a more portable design. Both display animated cassette reel animations on LCD screens. The collection also includes the Ringo Duo on-ear headphones with 26-hour battery life and the Buds wireless earbuds featuring six microphones for ANC and call quality, with up to 42 hours of battery life.
