Philips presented a series of compact models with very different specifications from each other. The most robust is the TAS7505, a speaker with a power of 30 W RMS, and internal 3.57-inch full-range drivers. The product supports pairing via Bluetooth 5.0 with a maximum range of 20 meters, and its structure is IPX7 certified against diving in water environments. According to Philips, the battery is capable of delivering up to 20 hours of content playback before the need for a power source.

The TAS5505 and TAS3505 models look very similar to the TAS7505, in addition to several common characteristics in terms of wireless connectivity and water resistance. The changes between models revolve around components such as drivers and battery, due to the more compact construction:
- TAS5505: 20W of power, 3.15-inch drivers, 12-hour battery life;
- TAS3505: 5W of power, 1.75-inch drivers, 10-hour battery life;
For users who like to sing along with music, the TAS4405 speaker comes with an external wireless microphone, which can be connected directly to the product for voice amplification. It still has a smaller construction with a blue finish, and the internal section features 1.5-inch drivers with a power of 3 W – this model does not have resistance against water and dust, and there is support for Bluetooth 4.2 with a range of 10 meters. .
Other options that can be conveniently transported include the TAS2505 and TAS1505 models, with powers of 3 W and 2 W, respectively. Both carry IPX7 certification, and their batteries deliver 10 and 8 hours of typical use.
GO Outdoors Line
The GO Outdoors line is aimed at people who want to take their speakers to places that require a more resistant construction. These are two models that have in common the IP67 certification against water and dust, and support for Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity — in addition to having very similar looks with white and black color options.
The two speakers are distinguished by the construction size, and consequently bring different internal components. The TAS7807 is the biggest, with a battery for 24 hours of uninterrupted use and 40W of power, through two 2.8-inch full-range drivers and two 1.2-inch tweeters. The TAS4807 has a 1.77-inch full-range speaker, 10 W power and a 12-hour battery life.
Party Speaker Line
As the name suggests, the Party Speaker line is aimed at playing music in larger environments, with more power available in the speakers. The X7207 model offers 80 W with two two-inch tweeters, a 6.5-inch woofer and two passive bass radiators. It still has Bluetooth 5.0 compatibility and a maximum range of 20 meters, as well as a battery for 12 hours of continuous use. Its construction is in the shape of a cube, and it brings 360-degree colored lighting to enhance parties.
The X4207 is a slightly smaller model, with 50 W of power through two two-inch tweeters and a 6.5-inch woofer (in this case, there’s no passive radiator). Bluetooth connectivity is the same, as is battery life for up to 12 hours before charging ends. This product also has a cube-shaped structure, but its lighting is facing forward.
Details on pricing and availability have not yet been revealed, but all products presented will hit the market in the coming months, when more information should be released.
