Philips True Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling $49.99 @ ALDI

180

Great for people that didn't do well financially in life and can't afford more premium brands at $250 - $400 for wireless earbuds but still want to upgrade from wired earphones to wireless. I would say perfect for people who love buying the $150 - $300 Motorola mobile phones. If you are rich, this deal is also very good for you to keep a 2nd wireless less premium earbuds as a spare to use in an emergency.

    What if I am ultra-rich?

    • +5

      Then why are you here ?

      • +26

        That's how they got ultra rich.

        I'm about to buy my second yacht with all the money I've saved on paper towels from Amazon deals.

        • +3

          The reason why you can't afford a third yacht is because you're still eating avocado toast.

        We are here to save even more money on deals and use those savings in high yield investment strategies like buying a BMW 320i car.

    Philip's True Wireless Earbuds

    Did Philip clean his ear wax off before selling them?

    • +2

      No the wax helps with noise cancelling. (More wax, less noise)

  • +1

    real question is why would you even spend $250 - $400 on "Premium" earphones :p

    • +1

      We are just animals. We get easily influenced.

  • +5

    Do we need all the qualifiers on who the headphones are for? Plenty of wealthy people who enjoy good value things and not overpaying.

    Also plenty of people who don’t earn a lot, and save and stretch. That’s ok too :-)

    As someone that has spent tens of thousands on audio gear - these are actually fairly well regarded for the price and have extremely low (for TWS) audio latency.

    • Thanks updated the deal.

      • No probs, it's in Korean, though :)

    • +1

      Thanks for the review data, but that frequency response is pretty mediocre. The ANC tests well, the other features are decent - and the battery life will be great with LC3 - but I get the impression that these do not compete well with $90-$100 offerings, and perhaps struggle with audio quality against other $50-$60 TWS IEMs that are well regarded.

    Philips in general makes reasonable quality in ear monitors, more so than most transnational corps, they may not always be the best in class but they're rarely outright bad. Philips also makes technics which are very well regarded.

    • +1

      Technics is/was made by Panasonic not Philips.

      Not sure why there is so much fake news in this thread.

  • +3

    Appears to be these but for the life of me I can't find any reviews, so I think this is just a push to drive word of mouth.

    LC3 means you will get decent audio quality with good battery life, but I can't account for the quality of the drivers and the implementation and tuning. New Philips are likely off-the-shelf Chinese ODM efforts that are likely to sound bad/cheap.

    If you want well-tuned good value TWS IEMs, here's a quick list in order of price points:

    Next year's IEM tech will be a step up via xMEMS Cypress tech, as well as maybe some improved planar and BA driver showings.

      wtf

      • I didn't give you that downvote, but can you be more specific?

        • -2

          1st recommendation is a hello kitty earbuds with the older 5.2 Bluetooth standard. 2nd recommendation is $95. 3rd recommendation is $319 discounted to $250. As I said before, wtf.

          • +3

            @Dollar Dreamer: 1st recommendation is Moondrop - who are well regarded for how they tune their IEMs - and delivers better audio quality overall, because it's not just about the bluetooth codec (which is still limited to 380 kbit LC3 from the Philips). I can't account for their taste with designs. This is probably line-ball given the diminished features and battery life, but Moondrop better have the better tonal balance out of the box. I can imagine the Moondrop Golden Ages will quickly slide towards the $65ish mark in the coming months to replace this.

            2nd recommendation is an XMEMS + DD hybrid that has some pf the best audio quality you can get under $200 in this category, while also having the same level of ANC and arguably a better mic.

            3rd recommendation is just shy of class leading audio quality, and the next step would involve spending $400, often $500+. You can maybe look at the HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless if you want to try and make that step.

            All of them are arguably higher value propositions than this. Personally I would just get the 2nd option (the SoundPeats Capsule3 Pro+).

            Moondrop are a respected brand.

    By 2008, Philips had stopped manufacturing TVs, stereos, and other consumer electronics, but rather licensed its Philips and Magnavox names to Japanese manufacturer Funai. After an unsuccessful attempt to sell the division to Funai, in April 2014 Philips instead sold its consumer electronics division (then called WOOX Innovations) to Singapore-based Gibson Brands (formerly Gibson Guitar).

    The Philips name still appears on electronics, small appliance, and lighting products through licensing agreements, but as of 2024, medical, home health, and hair and oral care make up the core of Philips’ revenue.

    What an odd description

  • We should get some reviews soon as people buy them.

  • Are they in store yet? - website says experiencing delays, then next click says no delays, then stock checker has no information.

    • I have seen them, but I am yet to hear them.

      • Oh ok. I'll try a different store tomorrow then. I went to Ashfield NSW this afternoon, but didn't see any (nor the tablets, nor the portable displays).
        Nearly all the sunglasses gone though.

        • The Lenovo tablets weren't available when I went. They have been delayed. The staff wasn't sure when they would arrive.
