Today my cousin came with a Philips Go Gear 2GB MP3 player (SA2325), which he had got as a present. So here are some of my thoughts on it,
- Its almost like a thumb drive with a USB port protected by the Cap on the top. Finished in a black glossy coating looks nice, but after a few minutes of playing with it my finger smudges were all over the player. Size wise its quite ok.
- Switching it on i was greeted with a monochrome (black & white) screen with bright green backlight and the text and icons were clearly visible. Song info was displayed in the 2nd line whereas 1st line had battery status indicators and other indicators.
- Transferring the songs (supports mp3, wma) was just plug & play using the USB (USB 2.0)adapter cable.Folder navigation was possible (no ID3 tagging) so putting albums in different folders will make navigation easier.Transferring 306 MB of songs took me 3:25 seconds
- Then I tried playing the songs using the given earphones, sound quality was quite good and there were 4 preset equalizers too. As every other review site would say better get a good quality earphone to enjoy your beats
- FM radio was there ,but I wasn’t able to try it because of poor FM reception in my town. Voice recording was also present.
- The GoGear was powered by a single AAA battery which makes it very easy to replace when we run out of power.
People looking for a no non-sense mp3 player at a budget of 50$ can really consider this player.
