To recap
The Philips Fidelio T1 earbuds may be something of a departure for the audiophile-centric brand, but they fit into its family well. Great sound performance across a wide range of musical genres put them right up there with the top true wireless in-ears around. The ANC isn’t the best out there, but it’s still very passable. Really, it is their sheer size that may put some off - especially those with smaller ears. Still, you are getting a premium product nonetheless, one that caters for a more discerning audience very capably.
