How is Philips GoGear MP3 player range ?
One of my friends intends to purchase Philips GoGear 2GB MP3 player since it's within his budget of Rs.5000. He feels that the iPod Shuffle is not a VFM option since it doesn't even have a screen. 
I had listened to a Philips GoGear 2GB MP3 player and I liked it's sound quality and it's earphone.
So, please post the pros & cons of the Philips GoGear MP3 player range and whether it's a worthy buy...

Re: How is Philips GoGear MP3 player range ?
I had bought Philips Go Gear 2GB for 80 euroes 3 months back ( around 4500/-)
a) The device headphone has good 'Bass' but 'Treble' is not that good. I can easily make out the difference in quality between this and my W580 headphone.
b) Though the device supports video playback, but refresh rate of the display supports video only at 15fps which,by today's perspective, is below average (It wud have been nice 3 yrs back).
c) FM reception is good.
d) Battery life is also very good
e) Interface is a bit slow
f) You will enjoy the music on this device only at full volumes. This puts a limit on its usage as you will start feeling the pressue in your ears after some minutes. In my W580 I can listen to music at 50% volume for long hours without any issues.
Go for this device if you are want a decent player at good price, and you are not bothered too much about the 'extra' music quality.

Get the HCL branded charger for Rs.300 at Bangalore SP Road or Reliance stores.
Apple original costs around 1.5k.

Re: How is Philips GoGear MP3 player range ?
Hi all,
I own a "Philips GoGear 2Gb Raga" MP3 player. Its 5 months now.
No issues at all.
+ Battery backup claimed - 27 hours, in original getting around 23-24 hours
+ USB mini - you can charge this set with an Motorola charger (like those of Moto L6,L9 etc)
+ Volume leveller - helps u maximise battery and save ur ears.
+ Headphones NOT SO GOOD. Treble is okay, Bass is BAD.
So I use Sennheiser HD202 DJ headset.. this reduces the battery life to 19 hours, whichs good.
thats it..
SUDE
A happy user of Philips Raga 2Gb.
