Not-quite pocket sized

Premium feel

Eartips
You get six pairs of eartips in the box, which are worth experimenting with for the best fit. (image credit: Pocket-lint)
Longevity
Like the case, each bud has a solid brushed metal design and feels like it will last. (image credit: Pocket-lint)
Back to the 90s

Audio masters
Above all else, audio performance is exceptional, with enthusiast levels of playback quality. (image credit: Pocket-lint)
Top end
The Philips Fidelio T1 earbuds certainly sit at the top end of their category, with sound to match. You will have to get over their size though. (image credit: Pocket-lint)
