Pros: lots of music, battery life Cons: Magic ESP only good with MP3s, will not play CD-RWs anymore, fragile, low volume
I bought this MP3 player a while back when new. It cost me $140, but then I felt it was worth it. I previously had a Philips CD player so I was not concerned about reliability. Everything worked well, had good sound, and was not so hard to use after...
Pros: Light-weight, portable, holds a lot of music for the size! Cons: We may have paid a little too much! (The price has now come down.)
My younger son, Garrett, purchased a new Philips 8cm MP3-CD eXpanium Portable Player recently and is quite satisfied with it. This product is smaller than a regular CD MP3 Player and it holds songs in an MP3 format like a regular MP3 player, but...
Pros: Nice Features, cool design, sturdy. Cons: No ID3 song tags, slight problem with the car audio adapter.
I got this cd player for Christmas a while back when MP3 cd players were first coming out. So of course, when new technology comes out, you must pay the price. I got this unit for $200 about 2 or so years ago.
Pros: The mid-size is good for jamming into your backpack when teacher walks in. Cons: Skips as if the "Magic ESP" is working against you!
So after returning the RCA MP3-CD player I originally bought, I was then shown a $150 credit and a very large store to use it in. I looked at all of the CD players, especially the MP3-enhanced ones, but would it be that useful? I decided to get that...
Pros: Brand name, inexpensive, good sound Cons: poor construction quality, navigation.
Philips was the first to introduce the mp3 cd player, sometime around last Christmas. It seemed to be a natural direction for mp3 players. People were backing up their mp3s on cds and playing them via their cd-roms on the computer, freeing up hard...
Pros: You can play mp3's on it using cds, allowing endless hours of music. Cons: Takes awhile to start playing, large, open button barely opens, headphone jack is awkwardly placed.
The Philips Expanium is not worth the money you pay for it. It is large and awkward. The headphone jack is on the very edge of the mp3-cd player making it always feel like you are going to break it against something. The player also takes about 20...
Pros: Ability to play MP3 CD's Cons: Slow at loading MP3's
This was actually a present for my brother, but I've used it so many times. It's great with batteries because they last so long, but the problem I've had most was the amount of time it takes for each MP3 to start playing... theres a delay that can be...
Pros: Listen to about 170 songs on ONE CD!!! Batteries last 10 hours! DBB!! 100ESP!!! Cons: Expensive, Requires A CD Burner and some knowledge on CD burning.
A few months ago, my parents bought the Expanium for my brother. I didn't know much about it, so I asked him what's so special about this Expanium thing. He told me that all you have to do is burn all your MP3 files ontoa CD-R or CD-RW put the CD in the...
Pros: Plays MP3's at any bit rate, 10 hours of music Cons: VERY INCONVENIENT, low volume, kills 2 batteries every 30 minutes, and much more
It's a mediocre player. It takes 2 minutes to "load" a cd and its very chinsy and inconvenient for $200.00. cannot display track titles and extremly low battery and goes threw batteries like water. very chinsy fell, i hate phillips in the first place...
Pros: Great Sound Quality, Easy to Use, Fast access time, great look Cons: Inability to display ID3 track tags
I really wish I had bought the Expanium. Instead, I bought the RCA HP2410 player. Fortunately, I have friends that own the Expanium and have had the opportunity to play around with it. Believe me, the Expanium exceeds the RP2410 and the rest of...
Pros: Exceptional utility, battery life Cons: Low volume, slow loading time
This Christmas (2000) I found a Philips Expanium underneath the tree. I couldn't have asked for a better gift. I love my music, and I love taking large amounts of it with me in a convenient package. This product definitely delivers.
Pros: Great skip protection, plays CDRW's, 10+ hours of music 1 CD Cons: no ID3 tag support, long loads, no fast forward, cumbersome menu
The Phillips Expanium MP3/CD player is a great player if you are just looking for the function of an MP3/CD player. It lets you listen to 10+ hours of music written onto a single CDR and will even play the coveted CDRW's. The great thing about that is...
Pros: lightweight, not expensive compared to mp3 players, convenient Cons: still at the beginning of this technology
I bought a Philips Expanium about a month ago, and it has proved to be worth every penny. In deciding between a CD/MP3 player or an MP3 player, the choice was clear. Why would I want to spend just as much on a player which, although it might be a...
