User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great player!
I really love my GoGear! It is handy — not so small as to get (easily) lost — holds a ton of music, books and videos — easy to load. We have been through several MP3 players and only this one has the ease of use that I needed to make the whole procedure convenient. I’m really enjoying it and for the price I can’t see anything else in the marketplace that will beat it. Also it is very sleek, the menus are easy and well organized. Just FYI this model doesn’t support Audible books yet. I recommend it!
3 Stars Nice product for the price but could be a little better
Basically with the big screen comes a big body around it. This thing is huge for an mp3 player and it will be the only thing in your pocket and you know its there. It works really nice but the video has to be encoded using the provided software. Even if you download video in the specified format it won’t play most of the time. I was also let down that the add led me to believe it had an SD slot because SD cards were one of the main recommended accessories.
5 Stars Fantastic music & video player
Product can hold a tremendous amount of picture, music, and video files. I love the organization of all the submenus and navigation is great. Quality of sound is crisp and clear. This is the first player I purchased that gets great reception from local fm radio stations. I strongly recommend this product.
5 Stars Ignore negative reviews and buy this player!!!
Bought this player nearly a year ago, and it has been worth every penny.
On the upside, the fit, finish, feel, and build quality are outstanding. It is very easy to use and has all the features you need in an mp3/video player.
Ignore the dummy reviewer who says “sound quality is not good.” I am in the audio/video/media field and use this player every day. As a flash player, it simply plays what you put into it. If the sound quality is bad, check the bitrate in the rip settings of your windows media player(or whatever media software you use) and raise it, or try some different headphones. I run mine with high bitrate files and nice earbuds, or line directly into a stereo or PA system, and the sound quality is amazing.
This player also integrates seamlessly with Napster, which was a big plus for me. Using Napster to go, I can transfer unlimited files and playlists without paying per track.
It also comes with a nice fitting, slim leather case.
On the downside, the supplied Phillips earbuds, while looking nice, were uncomfortable for my ears and wouldn’t stay in, even while being completely still. My pair of Coby buds that came with a $20 player are actually preferred to the Phillips buds. No big deal for me, really. I didn’t buy it for the headphones.
Also, when viewing pictures the response seems to be a little slow. But since I primarily use mine for playing mp3s, this is not an issue. There is no lag time with mp3s.
All in all, for around $100, in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with this player. It also looks really cool and gets attention whenever I pull it out. Enjoy!
