‘The real question is, are there any audio products Philips won’t be releasing in 2026?’ — I just looked at the firm’s hi-fi listings for 2026, and it’s a lot

• Philips just unveiled its audio product roadmap for 2026
• Highlights include retro on-ears, boombox-style speakers, and a ‘micro hi-fi system’
• Expect 80s-style yellow colorways — you love to see it

Well well well, Philips has been busy! When looking at the various press releases the company has filed from its TP Vision Berlin showcase, it would really be easier to ask 'OK, but are there any audio products Philips won't be unveiling in 2026?'

The more eye-catching and retro products are arguably the headline grabbers, such as the decidedly Avril Lavigne Sk8r Boi era MS80 "The Tube" boombox-style Bluetooth speaker, complete with side-firing drivers. It's part of Philips' Moving Sound (read: portable audio) range and comes in a delightful yellow finish alongside the more demure black.

Why do I love this product specifically? Because it looks like something my sister and I used back in the early 90s to record the UK Top 40 Show onto cassette tape every Sunday (sorry). It retails for €349.99 (so around $399, £300, or AU$569, where sold), but there's a cheaper MS60 "The Roller" option which will retail for €179.99 when it launches alongside its siblings in Q2 of 2026.

The accompanying press shots prove Philips has gone full-on retro hi-fi here (albeit without an inbuilt tape deck, and with a thoroughly modern digital display), but that's not the only 90s-era product being unveiled…

He was a sk8r boi, she said 'I got headphones boi'

Aside from the boombox-style Bluetooth speakers that remind me of my youth, Philips is also releasing Pretty Woman-era on-ears that could easily grace the side of a huge bathtub while the wearer prepares to sing Prince's Kiss at full voice.

These on-ears are called MS1 "The Ringo Duo", and they can be used in wired (USB-C) or wireless mode over Bluetooth. They're priced at just €34.99 too (around $39, £30 or AU$57), which makes them worth buying purely for the look, in my book.

Elsewhere, there's a "Fidelio FA7 Micro Hi-Fi System" due to arrive in the final quarter 2026, combining a wi-fi streamer, CD tray and stereo speakers for wireless audio streaming, priced at €599.99 (so around $680, £518 or AU$980) and a set of Fidelio L5 over-ear noise-cancelling wireless headphones to follow in October 2026, priced €199.99 (around $229, £172 or AU$164).

Both products, says Philips, "blend premium materials, intuitive controls, and versatile connectivity for a seamless and stylish listening experience at home or on the move".

Anything else? Oh yes, plenty, but the most noteworthy for me would be the "Stevie Pro" record player, slated for September 2026. Positioned as a "more powerful and refined evolution" of the Stevie deck, which launched in September of last year, the Stevie Pro promises a higher power output, improved speaker system, an enhanced aluminium platter and tonearm, plus expanded connectivity including Bluetooth in/out with Auracast.

Prices for the Stevie Pro haven't been disclosed, but it'll certainly be one for my, ahem, Dreams.
