Philips GoGear 2GB

Advantages: Easy To Use And Very Portable
Disadvantages: Lack Of Features

...Philips GoGear 2GB The Philips GoGear is a good mp3 player if you simply want to listen to music. The Philips GoGear doesn't have many features but its very portable and easy to use. These small Mp3 players are very cheap and affordable. If you look around on the Internet you can buy one for about £30 depending on what memory size you want. The Controls for the GoGear 2GB are very easy to understand. The Philips GoGear is quite durable so it can be dropped but the screen can crack very easily. When you buy the Philips GoGear you will get - Philips GoGear 2GB - USB Lead (For Transferring Music) - CD Rom - Earphones - User Manual - AAA Battery Supported Audio Formats - MP3 - WMA Memory Sizes - 2GB - 4GB I recommend this product to all potential buyers....

Review of Philips GoGear SA2620 2 GB

Ready? Not Steady, GoGear

Advantages: Long battery life
Disadvantages: Playback not smooth, loose USB cap

...Since my Creative FX200 died (never buying another Creative product again after my disappointment too with a 7-speaker set), I had been after an MP3 player which would make use of the rechargeable (AAA) batteries. The Philips GoGear SA2620 is a no-frills and no-radio MP3 player, and comes with a USB Cable stickered, "IMPORTANT - Install software first", but I doubt whether it's necessary to do so - surely you can just drag and drop without installation. The cap protecting the USB plug felt too loose a fit and comes off easy leaving this end exposed. The interface is quick and easy (I never needed to refer to the manual), however, following a battery change, the SA2620 is sometimes shown to be 'Updating' which can take a while. (It can't be a Windows update via Satellite can it?) 2GB memory is more than sufficient for me, but 16MB...

Review of Philips Gogear HDD086 mp3 player

Philips GoGear MP3 player - go get one !

Advantages: Compact, great sound quality
Disadvantages: You need a PC

...need "drivers" (special files which tell the computer how to communicate with the MP3 player) - just plug it in and away you go. Older operating systems (Windows 98 or earlier) will need you to install the drivers first but the Philips MP3 player supplies these on disc. ~~ What is in the box ? ~~ The Philips GoGear MP3 player comes with :- - MP3 player (thankfully) - plug-in ear phones - lanyard to carry it around with - external battery pack - instruction manual and disc ~~ Features ~~ The MP3 player I bought was a 256mb version which I managed to fit 3 albums onto as some of the songs were quite long, otherwise I could probably have got another 5 songs or more. The player displays the track that is playing which is handy if you want to skip to your favourite tracks. The player recharges via your computer's USB...

Review of Philips GoGear Key011 128 MB

Phillips Gogear 512mb mp3 player

Advantages: charge time, simple to use, nimble.
Disadvantages: 16 hours of play only possible with large and annoying battery pack!

...I really wanted an MP3 player. At the time the mobile phone MP3 players were pointless due to lack of space, being bulky, and basically rubbish quality meant a portable MP3 player for any music listener was a must. Looking around, there's always going to be the cheap gadgets on the market. I try and stay away for them because, even if they do what it says on the box, the actual quality of the amp on them is usually very bad quality, and they usually have poor battery life, which means charging them for longer than you're actually listening to them. However, Philips have a good reputation, so when the Philips GoGear 512MB Player came on at a good price, I thought why not? And I haven't looked back. At around £40, a 512Mb player was especially good. Good battery (up to 8 hours of play) and charging (takes about 30 minutes for total...

Review of Philips GoGear 512 MB SA177

Not a good Mp3 player

Advantages: Memory is OK for the price
Disadvantages: Interface is awful

...that I did not use the correct software with this device (in turn because I found the software provided to be confusing and awkward), the others are certainly not. The only real advantage to this Mp3 Player is that, for the price, you do get rather a lot of memory - 2GB should be more than enough for most casual listeners, though those who have large music collections may prefer ones with much larger memories. Another potential advantage is that it is comparatively small for an Mp3 with this much memory. Overall though, it's definately worth spending a bit more for something a lot better....

Review of Philips GoGear 2gb MP3 Player

iPod Shuffle 2GB

Advantages: Durable, Easy To Use And Very Portable
Disadvantages: None So Far

...The Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB is one of the most portable mp3 players I have used so far. It's a great mp3 player because it's very small and easy to use. It's very good for people who like to do sporting activities such as running or going to the gym. You have plenty of memory with the iPod Shuffle. With 2GB of memory your iPod Shuffle can hold up to 500 songs. Colours - Silver - Green - Pink - Blue - Red Even though there is no screen on the iPod Shuffle it is still very easy to use. When using the click wheel on the front of the iPod Shuffle you can control all of its functions. You can control its volume. You can change the song and you can also pause the song.

Review of Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB

The "Philips GoGear SA1942 4 GB" is a good, cheap alternative.

Advantages: Easy Charging via USB, good sound quality and value for money.
Disadvantages: Headphones are easily breakable.

...I think that the Philips GoGear SA1942 4 GB is a very good alternative to other popular MP3 players such as the Apple Ipod. As I have experienced a range of MP3 players I feel that I am able to review this item from a position of experience. Sound Quality: The default sound for this device is excellent. Also there are many options to change the EQ properties of the sound. The user caan choose from a range of EQs provided by the product such as "Rock" or "Jazz" or they can create their own. Ease Of Use: The funtionality of it's screen options are simple, easy to understand and to follow. However the button interface is a fraction too small and I can often accidentally press 2 buttons at once or the wrong button entirely. Look and Design: For the money you pay for this device. It's design is stylish and very easy on the eyes. Its...

Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB

Advantages: Easy To Use, Not Expensive
Disadvantages: No Screen

...Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB The Apple iPod Shuffle is a one of the smallest iPods Made by Apple so far. The iPod Shuffle has 2GB of memory, which will hold up to 500 songs. If you only want the 1GB version of the iPod Shuffle then it will only hold up to 250 songs. The iPod Shuffle can play music but that is about it, it's just a simple mp3 player for listening to music on. Even though the iPod Shuffle doesn't hold pictures or videos it is still very good for using out and about. Available Memory - 1GB (250 Songs) - 2GB (500 Songs) There really are no disadvantages with the iPod Shuffle other than the fact that it hasn't got a screen. Even though the iPod Shuffle has not got a screen it is still very easy to use. You still have a circular click wheel like all of the other iPods. The only difference is...

Review of Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB

Ipod Shuffle 2GB

Advantages: Small, yet stores a lot of songs, does what you want it to
Disadvantages: Occasionally cuts off the end of songs

...Snazzy little device, very lightweight and does'nt take up much space wherever you put it, as it has a clip on the back you can attatch it to almost anything, so you wont have to worry about it taking up space in your pocket, the clip also comes in handy for people who like listening to music while jogging, cycling etc. as you wont have to worry about it falling out your pocket. The Ipod Shuffle 2GB is known to hold around 500 songs, depending on how large each track is obviously, i can fit roughly 480 tracks on mine. Its very streight forward and simple to use. You have two choices of how you want your Ipod Shuffle to play your music, either loop or shuffle, so it can either play each track in alphabetical order, or it will shuffle them about and play tracks....
