The growth momentum was maintained with a healthy rate of 5.85% from 2023 to 2024, indicating sustained demand for these audio accessories in the Philippines.

The wired headphones and earphones market in the Philippines continues to hold a significant share despite the wireless trend, primarily due to affordability, audio quality, and compatibility with older devices. Wired audio accessories are popular among budget-conscious consumers and professional users requiring low latency audio. The market is characterized by strong demand for basic to mid-range products, with e-commerce and traditional retail channels playing key roles.
Despite the growing popularity of wireless audio devices, the wired headphones and earphone market in the Philippines remains resilient, particularly among budget-conscious consumers, gamers, and audiophiles who prefer consistent audio quality without the need for charging.
