Philips TAT3739 Comfort Fit Open-Ear Earbuds Review: 200K+ Users Can’t Be Wrong

Philips has been a household name in audio for decades, and their TAT3739 “Comfort Fit” open-ear earbuds represent their take on the bone conduction concept trend. Unlike traditional bone conduction transducers that sit on the cheekbone, the TAT3739 uses an ear-clip design with directional audio technology to deliver sound without sealing the ear canal.

On JD.com, this model has collected 200,000+ reviews with an outstanding 99% positive rating. It consistently ranks on the Bluetooth Sports Earbuds bestseller chart. Users uniformly praise the comfort for extended wear and the secure fit during exercise, while common constructive feedback centers on bass response typical of open-ear designs.

At ¥296.01 ($40.80 USD) with government subsidy (regularly ¥299), the TAT3739 sits in the mid-range of Philips’ earphone lineup—priced between budget alternatives and premium noise-cancelling models.

What Chinese Users Say

All-Day Comfort

I bought the black pair first, loved them, and got the white pair for my family member. The open-ear design means zero ear pain even after hours of wear. They stay secure during my commute and runs. The ENC call quality is clear enough for daily use. Bluetooth connection is rock solid, and being able to hear ambient sounds is actually great for safety. Great value at this price point. — Know*Ritual, JD.com verified purchase**

This testimonial highlights the core appeal: comfort without compromise. Several users mention buying multiple pairs for family members, suggesting high satisfaction.

Build Quality and Design

The moment I opened the box, the build quality was obvious. I’ve used Philips earphones for years—my old pair lasted until the sound became quiet. I expect the same longevity from these. The ear-clip mechanism feels durable and the charging case has a satisfying magnetic closure. Five stars. — CloudWalker, JD.com verified purchase**

Philips’ reputation for durability carries through in the TAT3739. Long-time brand loyalists appreciate the consistent build quality.

Audio Performance

Sound quality is excellent for an open-ear design. Definitely on par with what you’d expect from a major brand. The soundstage is surprisingly wide—you get the spaciousness of open-back headphones in a compact earbud form. Bass is naturally reduced compared to in-ear monitors, but the clarity in mids and highs more than compensates. Very satisfied. — u*7, JD.com verified purchase**

The directional audio technology works well. People next to me can’t hear my music at normal volumes, which was my concern with open-ear designs. Call quality is clear on both ends—the ENC does a decent job filtering background noise during calls. — PracticalBuyer, JD.com verified purchase**
