The Philips TAT3708BK is an open-ear wireless sports earphone in black. Instead of sealing the ear canal, each bud hangs on an ear hook and sits just outside the ear, aiming sound inward while you keep hearing traffic, a coach or a colleague. Philips fits a 13 mm dynamic driver per side, Bluetooth 5.4, an AI microphone for calls and an IPX4 rating against sweat and splashes. Battery life is up to 6 hours from the earphones and 16 more from the charging case.

Open-ear design with ear hooks
The Philips TAT3708BK uses an open-fit design with no ear tips at all. A curved hook goes over the top of the ear and holds the speaker housing in front of the ear canal. Because nothing is pushed into the ear, there is no pressure inside it and no seal to break when you run or turn your head. The trade-off is that you still hear your surroundings, which is the point for outdoor runs and cycling, and a limit on a noisy bus or a plane, where you would turn the volume up to compensate.
Sound: 13 mm drivers and directional acoustics
Each side holds a 13 mm dynamic driver. Philips lists a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, 20 ohm impedance and 92 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz. A directional acoustic design points sound toward the ear canal to keep more of it for you and reduce leakage to people nearby, though no open-ear earphone is fully private at high volume. The Philips TAT3708BK also uses AELC, adaptive equal-loudness compensation, which adjusts bass and treble to the environment so music sounds balanced at different volumes. Bluetooth runs on the SBC codec only.
Battery: 6 + 16 hours
Philips rates the earphones at up to 6 hours of playback from a full charge, with the charging case adding 16 hours, for about 22 hours in total. Each earphone holds a 45 mAh lithium polymer cell and the case a 300 mAh cell. A full charge takes about 2 hours over USB-C, and a USB-C cable is included. Philips does not publish a quick-charge figure for the Philips TAT3708BK, so plan to put the earphones back in the case between workouts rather than relying on a short top-up.
IPX4, touch controls and an AI mic
The IPX4 rating means the earphones resist sweat and splashes from any direction, which suits gym sessions and runs in humid weather; it does not cover swimming or rinsing under a tap. Controls are touch-based, and you can call up your phone’s voice assistant. For calls, the Philips TAT3708BK uses one AI microphone with an algorithm that filters background noise so your voice comes through more clearly. Bluetooth 5.4 supports the A2DP, HFP and AVRCP profiles.
Why black, and who it suits
Black is the practical colour for a sports earphone: it hides sweat marks, sunscreen and the grime that builds up on ear hooks after months of training, and it looks neutral with any kit. The Philips TAT3708BK suits runners and cyclists who need to hear traffic, gym-goers who dislike ear tips, people who get sore ears from in-ear buds, and office workers who want to stay reachable while listening. The charging case measures 9.35 × 5.0 × 2.91 cm, small enough for a gym bag pocket.
Who This Is Not For
The Philips TAT3708BK is not for anyone who wants to block out noise: open-ear designs let surrounding sound in and have no noise cancelling, so they are weak on planes and in loud transport. Bass is lighter than a sealed in-ear model, and sound can leak at high volume. IPX4 is not swim-proof. It supports SBC only, Philips does not list multipoint or a companion app, and 6 hours per charge is shorter than many in-ear buds.
