The TAB4230 is targeted at users looking to upgrade TV audio without moving to a full home theatre setup. It offers a 2.1-channel configuration with a wired 6.5-inch subwoofer and up to 300W maximum output, paired with Dolby Digital surround sound.
HDMI ARC support allows the soundbar to be controlled using a TV remote, which should simplify daily use. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth, USB playback, optical and AUX inputs. At its price, the TAB4230 competes with entry-level Dolby Audio soundbars, with the wired subwoofer being a key draw for users who prioritise bass.
This soundbar is designed for smaller rooms and focuses on portability and flexibility rather than raw output. It delivers up to 20W sound output and is available in black and blue colour options. It features RGB lighting and an eight-hour battery. The inclusion of true wireless stereo pairing lets users connect two units for wider sound.
The TAS4400 is the most design-focused product in the range. It features a magnetic attachment and detachment mechanism, allowing users to mount or carry the speaker more easily. The speaker delivers up to 40W output and is aimed at users who want louder sound than typical compact Bluetooth speakers.
It claims an eight-hour battery life and has a built-in microphone and multiple connectivity options. In this segment, the TAS4400 competes with mid-range portable speakers, with its magnetic design being a differentiator rather than a performance-first feature.
The TAA1009 targets budget-conscious users and fitness enthusiasts who still prefer wired audio. It features 12mm neodymium drivers, bass vents and a wing-tip design to improve fit during workouts. There is IPX4 splash resistance, which should make it suitable for light sweat and rain exposure. A three-button in-line remote and built-in microphone cover basic call and playback needs.
The SHP9500 is aimed at enthusiasts looking for a more neutral, open-back listening experience. It uses 50mm neodymium drivers in an open-back design, which prioritises soundstage and clarity over isolation. This makes it better suited for indoor, stationary listening.
Comfort-focused elements include breathable ear cushions, a dual-layer headband and a detachable 1.5m cable. The included 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter allows use with professional audio gear.
The launch strengthens TPV’s push to cover entry-level, mid-range and enthusiast audio categories under the Philips brand.
