Philips has expanded its extensive Fidelio audio range with two new additions: the FA7 micro hi-fi system and the L5 over-ear wireless headphones.
Aimed at “audio enthusiasts who value both sound quality and aesthetic appeal”, the new additions aim to bring Philips’ signature sound to two different corners of the audio market.

For on-the-go listening, Philips also unveiled the Fidelio L5 wireless headphones, teasing “a booming and sinking sound”. They feature a set of compatible 36mm drivers and support the hi-res Bluetooth LDAC codec, allowing you to stream files up to 32-bit/96kHz at data transfer rates of 990kbps.
While LDAC is on board for high-quality wireless streaming, the Fidelio L5 also offers a wired connection to your source thanks to the 3.5mm and USB-C ports.
Surround sound is supported if you want a more focused experience, while a total of five microphones are designed to provide “state of the art” active noise cancellation, including an adaptive mode that automatically adjusts to your surroundings in real time.
Three AI-assisted microphones aim for clear voice calls, while smart wearable detection stops the music whenever your headphones are removed from your head.
Philips promises that its new over-ears are a seamless combination of comfort and design, featuring a curved headband and deep circular ear cushions for long-lasting wear.
The Fidelio FA7 micro hi-fi system is expected to arrive in the last quarter of 2026, priced at 600 euros. Fidelio L5 wireless headphones will follow in October 2026, priced at €200. We will update this article when we receive additional prices.
