At the time perhaps worth it, totally not worth it now!

 

I bought this 2GB Philips MP3 player about 3 years ago on Black Friday because Wal-Mart had it sale priced for about $99.00, usually $130. Comparably at the time, I felt this was a worth while purchase because the competition 2G Apple Ipod Nano was...

Horrible waste of money

Awesome product

 

best $xx you can spend. you can't even get a 2gb storage let alone this has built in FM, recorder and mp3 player & storage

Awesome performance for the price. perfectly designed and it might be cumbersome or too advanced for older people/novice users but once you know how to charge this.. it keeps going and going. Nothing to complain

the headphone is awesome except it's slippery sometimes due either size of my ear or bit poor design on their part. it's rubber coated so it slips from your ear easily

Good sound quality ; Feels sturdy ; Better than expected battery life ; Attractive design * logical controls

Weak headphone output ; Minimal information
