Turn your bedroom into a concert hall. Crowd surf in your living room. By using Philips Hue lights that sync with music, you can watch sound spill over from your speakers into the room around you.
Sync lights with music
Hear, see and feel the music
Music is an emotional experience. Whatever you listen to, you feel. By syncing your lights with music, you can create your own personal mood music — no matter the genre.
Match light to the beat
We use specially created algorithms to ensure that each light script, which tells your lights how to react to the music, is perfectly tuned to each song — not just the beat but the overall feeling.
Personalise the experience
Make every listening session your own. Customise the way your lights sync with music: change the intensity and brightness of the light effects or even their colour palettes to vary the look.
Play on any device
Whether you’re relaxing on your bed with headphones or using a full-fledged sound system, you can sync your smart lights to music with any audio device.
