| | | | | Philips has released a new range of GoGear MP3 players featuring new technology that delivers CD quality audio from compressed MP3 music files. |
| MP3 is a compression format that reduces music file size and subsequently affects the overall sound quality of the file. With its patented FullSound™ technology, Philips has overcome this major drawback by enhancing the remaining data so that the original and uncompressed sound is clearly distinguishable. |
| “When listening to your music you want to feel the intensity and precision of your favourite tune. FullSound™ puts the liveliness and natural dynamics back into MP3 music so you can experience the same sound quality as in your living room,” says Jeremy Andrews, Philips’ Entertainment Solutions Manager. |
| “Although some of the music data lost during compression cannot be wholly restored, FullSound™ is able to provide listeners with sound that is richer, clearer and more alive than ever. |
| “FullSound™ equipped GoGear players establish a new benchmark for audio quality in today’s crowded MP3 market,” says Mr Andrews. |
| The new GoGear players with FullSound™ are available in 2 and 4GB capacity. |
| The hero of the range is the GoGear SA5245BT 4GB audio video player, which boasts Bluetooth technology and a 2.8” LCD colour display. The exceptional viewing quality coupled with wireless connection adds style and accessibility to your MP3 experience so that you can enjoy your entertainment anywhere at anytime. |
| The SA5245BT is slim and stylish in a high-gloss, polycarbonate casing. Additional features include voice and FM radio recording, sound equalizer, RDS and the acclaimed SuperScroll™ system to simplify skimming quickly through the media library. |
| The SA52 GoGear range includes top of the range high definition headphones with exceptional noise isolation for better quality sound at low volume. The ergonomic design and angled acoustic pipe channels offer direct precise sound and also provide extra comfort suitable for longer listening time periods. |
| “The FullSound™ equipped GoGear MP3 players are uniquely chic and ultra-intuitive. They offer a range of qualities including precise sound, great video, an easy-to-use design and a lengthy battery life so that you can easily enjoy your world of MP3.” says Mr Andrews. |
| All models are currently available at leading retailers nationwide.
