Philips GoGear ShoqBox PSS110 (256 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Compact clock radio with MP3, rechargeable.
Cons: Too big for a portable MP3 player.

I’m always on the look for the latest and greatest gadgets. Isn’t every guy? Technology is what it’s all about, and we’re constantly on the prowl for the newest and coolest hi-tech toys. Not long ago, I found just that in the Philips Shoqbox, a ...

Pros: cute, alternative to the mainstream, long battery life, features
Cons: sound, memory, too big for portable

I have to admit - I am not a big fan of MP3 players. Not sure why, they just annoy me. I didn't think I'd have much use of one, therefore I never bothred. But during my last trip during which the car cd player was stolen and we were stranded for an ...

Pros: Novel; powerful sound for the size; lets you share mp3 music with others; fun factor

Pros: Tiny (for a boombox)So handy!
Cons: Limited memory.

I'm having a second go-round with this device getting hung up. It has plenty of charge on it but it won't turn on. It's absolutely dead. I just purchased it about 6 weeks ago. When it works, it's just dandy and I adore it. I'm going to phone Philips cust svc in the AM and request a return authorization. I hope they're not going to give me a problem.

Apparently, this hanging up thing is expected as the manual says that if it occurs, just press the re-set button. Which I have done to no avail.

Pros: battery life, features, sound!!, connectivity, fm tuner is great
Cons: must use included software, no expandability, slight hanging possibility

this is an excellent product! it blows my mind when i hear it; i cannot comprehend how this small little gadget can get so LOUD! the base is so great! it does not distort either! granted, some songs which are recorded loudly may slightly at the highest volume, but not enough to notice! the price (at Best Buy) is really light for such a product! i'm not thrilled about having to use the included software, but because i love the shoqbox i'll live. one other thing i wish was possible was expansion via mem stick or sd card or something, but with the line-in function, this really can be lived without. overall, i think this is WELL worth the small price!
