My genetic makeup has doomed me to a life of dropping stuff notably on concrete floors and music players are no exception. As a result I only invest in cheap MP3 Players and not the undoubtedly superior iPods. I probably go through about 3 MP3 Players a year due to my gross negligence when it comes to their safety so I am always on the lookout for a durable, reliable MP3 Player that can withstand my abuse. So finally, after years of torturous struggle, I think I might have just found the perfect MP3 player in the Philips GoGear Mix 4GB MP3 Player. The Aesthetics ____________ The Philips GoGear Mix 4GB MP3 Player is a stylish ...  Read the complete review

A while ago my eldest daughter wanted a new MP3 player and began her usual sweet talking towards me in order for me to get her one. But, as I am trying to get her to try and understand money doesn't grow on trees and she has to start using her own money to buy what she wants, I offered to pay half towards it if she saved up the first half.

The main reasons I bought this were because it was fairly cheap for a 4GB MP3 player, and the small size of the player. So, let's start with the size. 4GB is just about good enough of me, although I can only put the very best of my music collection on, but, on the whole, 4GB is more than enough for my needs. I also bought this for £30; which I thought was moderately cheap, especially for 4GB, so I wasn't expecting anything special from this MP3 Player. The headphones were of very good quality, although they did break after 4 months of using them, which was slightly disappointing and I'm not sure whether it was my fault or the ...  Read the complete review
