We weren't so keen on the smaller GoGear players in the past, but we are pleased to say that things have improved overall in these players whilst the price is still under control. The GoGear Spark comes in three capacities, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB, with the...

Is this the cheap, portable player to knock the Sansa Clip from its bargain-basement pedestal?

A convincing challenger for the Sansa Clip, and one that works hard to produce decent results from budget headphones. However, neither audio quality nor value is quite good enough to bring down Sandisk's bargain-basement champ.

Overall, it's not that bad.

I have had a GoGear Spark for over 18 months now, and I have to say that it is one of the better mp3 players I have owned. The 2GB memory it comes with was just right for me, the seperate folders for audio books and music files is a good idea, the...

Cool

This is a nice little gadget that is very small and handy to fit into those small pockets. However it does take a few minutes to load up due to all the songs, but you easily adjust to that. I have had to buy 2 pairs of headphones for this due to the...

Philips GoGear Spark 2GB MP3 Player

I chose this MP3 player because it was recommended as a good player at a very reasonable price, which it is. The quality of sound is very good and I found it easy to use. What is disappointing is the very poor quality of the voice recording. I...

Very impressed with this kit. Would have been 5* if they had made a better clip at the back for it. Apart from the flimsy clip its a brilliant bit of kit. The cover is excellent and protects it well. The sounnd is very good. Very easy to transfer music...
