Philips offers simple solution to hi-tech need





Philips offers simple solution to hi-tech need
SoundBar lets you stream music and movies seamlessly in high quality audio


With the emergence of high definition video, the increasing demand for high quality audio is nothing but natural. Traditionally, to fully enjoy an HD movie, one would require a Blu-ray Disc Player or Smart Media Player connected to an AV receiver with five satellite speakers and a subwoofer, which is then connected to the TV. All these connections make watching movies complicated and even messy. Some may just settle for mediocre audio when they find the complexity of set-up is not worth their while.    

But with the SoundBar CSS5123, Philips presents a hi-tech yet simple solution to this predicament. “Essentially, the SoundBar is an all-in-one speaker system that’s designed and engineered to play high definition movies and music, wirelessly or otherwise, while producing high quality cinematic sound. It is part of the Philips Fidelio range of premium audio products,” explains Mr. Franco Flameno, Business Development Manager for Lifestyle Entertainment, Philips Consumer Lifestyle Philippines. “In this day and age, there’s no more excuse to have a subpar audio system. Speaker systems are now expected to be multifunctional and convenient.”

A 2012 Red Dot Design winner, the SoundBar CSS5123 is a premium speaker system that caters to the demands of the thriving home entertainment market. “The unmistakably superior sound quality can be attributed to its integrated powerful speakers and a wireless subwoofer,” Flameno explains. “It utilizes Virtual Surround Sound technology wherein the speakers are angled accordingly to create a surround sound effect for a realistic movie experience.” Additionally, the SoundBar CSS5123 features a DoubleBASS technology which enhances the bass for a deeper and fuller effect. Moreover, its sleek design offers versatility to be placed anywhere.

Flameno points out, “a good home speaker is one that is not tedious to set up, boasts compatibility, and most importantly, delivers an amazing and powerful surround sound.” The SoundBar gains an edge in compatibility and convenience as it is an AV receiver in itself, allowing any DVD or Blu-ray Disc Player to be paired seamlessly through AUX, optical or coaxial connections and produce equally high quality sound. Furthermore, a built-in Smart Media Player allows one to simply connect the media source, like an external hard drive, via USB and the SoundBar will access and play all media files. Users can enjoy full HD video projection on TV as it plays cinematic audio.

Flameno adds that the Soundbar can also wirelessly connect with Android phones and tablets. “With SimplyShare technology and Wi-Fi, we made it easy for users to stream movies and even music via an Android device or PC,” explains Flameno.

“We at Philips have made it a point to make meaningful innovations such as the Soundbar to give only the best experiences for our consumers. It’s all about making lives simpler for all of us,” he concludes. With its array of features, the Philips Soundbar CSS5123 is seemingly the right fit for a premium home entertainment system, providing cinematic surround sound for a more immersive and realistic viewing experience. 

Philips The Construct: Headphones that are built to last





Headphones that are built to last


Each time you recklessly chuck your headphones in your backpack after every use, you know too well those headphones might not come back to you in one piece.  Let’s face it: the backpack, combined with an active lifestyle, is an extreme environment for headphones. Adventurous and active music lovers always find it hard to make a pair of headphones last due to all the wear and tear from their activities.

“Loose cords and broken headbands are just some of the problems that many music lovers encounter with their headphones. Whether it gets broken in the backpack or in the mountains, people always end up disappointed with subpar durability,” says Ms. Angelia Oh, General Manager for Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Philippines.

To address this issue, Philips and surf brand O’Neill teamed up to develop a range of headphones that are strong enough to endure extreme conditions. The Philips O’Neill The Construct SHO7205BK is part of this line.

According to Ms. Oh, The Construct is one of the most durable headphones in the market due to its material and construction. Its ultra flexible TR90 headband can withstand bends, stretches and twists without deforming or breaking. Its cable is just as tough and is also tangle-free. The headphone’s drivers are also protected with metal rings around the earcan and employ engineered safe release cans that allow it to weather hard impacts.

In terms of sound quality, The Construct holds its own, with Ms. Oh explaining that “The Construct delivers solid deep bass that’s crisp and powerful through 40mm drivers.” This means that users can still clearly hear their music regardless of their activity. And where comfort is concerned, Ms. Oh says that the ear cushions are soft and thick enough for isolation while the headband cover is made of soft fabric for added comfort.

Ms. Oh adds that The Construct can be enjoyed by a wide variety of listeners. “Sound lovers are not limited to commuters or office workers. They are everywhere. And we want everyone to take their music with them everywhere as well without the fear of it getting broken,” she remarks. “The Construct is a pair of headphones they can literally bring anywhere, even in the great outdoors.”



 “Durable portable headphones are hard to come by. But this range of Philips O’Neill headphones were made to outlast, withstand and endure, with the consumers’ utmost needs in mind,” she concludes.
