Philips TAE5008/38 USB-C wired earbuds

The Philips TAE5008/38 are wired in-ear headphones with a USB-C connector and an integrated 3-button remote. They suit commuters, students or office workers who want a simple plug-and-play audio solution for music and calls on USB-C devices. A built-in DAC handles the digital-to-analogue conversion.

Check your device has a USB-C port that supports

Verify that your smartphone, tablet or laptop provides analogue or digital audio through its USB-C socket, as some models only use the port for charging or data. The cable is 1.2 m long, so confirm the reach fits your typical use. No driver installation is required.

Lightweight build with oval acoustic tube

Each bud weighs about 0.0147 kg and uses an 8.6 mm dynamic driver housed in an oval acoustic tube. Three interchangeable rubber tips create a secure seal for extended comfort. The USB-C plug and in-line remote are moulded into the 1.2 m cable, keeping controls within easy reach during daily use.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables or adapters?

The package contains one pair of USB-C wired earbuds with a 1.2 m cable and three sizes of rubber ear tips. No extra cables or adapters are required because the USB-C connector plugs directly into compatible smartphones, tablets or laptops.

The specs list both 8.6 mm and 10 mm driver sizes — which one is correct for this model?

The detailed specifications for the TAE5008/38 show an 8.6 mm dynamic driver. The 10 mm figure appears only in a general marketing highlight and does not apply to this specific model.

How does the 101 dB sensitivity translate to everyday listening volume?

At 101 dB sensitivity and 16 ohm impedance, the earbuds reach loud volume levels from typical USB-C device outputs without needing an external amplifier, making them suitable for music, calls and voice-assistant use.
