The Philips TAS2509 White is a compact Bluetooth karaoke speaker that comes with two wireless microphones, six voice effects and a multicolour LED screen, so two people can sing along to their favourite songs at home. It is aimed at family evenings, children’s birthdays and small gatherings rather than big parties, and Totot sells it in the UAE from ready stock with a 1-year warranty from Totot.

Philips TAS2509 White: Karaoke for Two
Philips puts two wireless karaoke microphones in the box of the Philips TAS2509 White, which means duets and turn-taking without passing a single mic around. Play a song from your phone over Bluetooth and sing over it; the speaker plays the music and both voices together. The microphones are external and wireless with an RF range of 5 m, so singers can stand in front of the TV while the speaker sits on a shelf, and they recharge over USB-C.
On the Philips TAS2509 White, six one-button voice effects add the fun element. Philips names them diva, female, male, child, monster and professional, and echo can be added to the singing. Children usually love the monster and child effects; adults may prefer the professional setting for a cleaner sound. Philips does not mention an app, so all of this is controlled from the speaker and the mics.
LED Light Modes and a Carry Handle
The front of the Philips TAS2509 White has a multicolour LED screen with four display modes that show shapes and coloured patterns while the music plays. It turns the speaker into a small light show for a kids’ party or a dark living room. The white body suits a children’s room or a bright majlis.
A soft rubber carry handle on top makes it easy to move from the living room to the bedroom or the garden. The main unit measures 132.4 x 174.5 x 132.4 mm and is 209.5 mm wide with the microphones docked, and the speaker weighs 0.85 kg. Philips also includes a carry case.
Sound and Music Sources of the Philips TAS2509 White
Sound comes from one 66 mm full-range driver in a mono system, rated at 5 W RMS (10 W max) with a frequency response of 90 Hz to 16 kHz. That is right for a bedroom, a children’s party or a small family room; it is not designed to fill a large hall or an outdoor gathering.
Music can come from four sources. Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC streaming connects your phone or tablet with a line-of-sight range of up to 30 m. You can also play from a USB drive (the speaker’s USB port is Type-C), from a TF (microSD) card, or from any device with a cable through the AUX input. That makes the Philips TAS2509 White easy to use with an old phone full of songs or a memory card of children’s songs.
Up to 15 Hours on One Charge
The built-in 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery of the Philips TAS2509 White charges over USB-C (5 V, 1 A) in about 3.5 hours. Philips rates playback at up to 15 hours with the lights off and up to 7 hours with the lights on, so the LED show costs about half of the runtime. For a two-hour birthday party with lights on, one charge is more than enough. The speaker also switches off by itself after a period without use to save battery.
Philips does not publish a separate runtime for the two microphones, so charge them together with the speaker before a long session.
Who This Is Not For
The Philips TAS2509 White is not a party speaker for large rooms or outdoor events: 5 W RMS in mono is meant for indoor family use. It has no water resistance, so keep it away from the pool. There is no hands-free calling, no app and no option to link several speakers together. The microphones work within 5 m of the speaker, and Philips does not publish their battery life. If you want karaoke for a big gathering, a larger party speaker is a better fit.
