Philips GoGear MP3 Players Promise Richer Sound

Singapore – With its latest range of GoGear audio and video players, Philipssets a new standard in sound quality on the go with its patented FullSound™technology that brings MP3 music to life. One of the main criticisms made byportable MP3 player users today is poor sound quality playback from MP3formatted music that often comes across as flat, dull and lacking in detail.This is because much of the sound information is lost when the music files areresized to fit on the players. Music enthusiasts won’t accept this. They wanttheir music playback on the go to be as close as possible to the soundperformance of their home stereo.

The latest generation of Philips GoGear products incorporates the new and uniquePhilips patented FullSound™ technology which raises the bar for MP3 soundquality playback. FullSound™ puts the liveliness and natural dynamics back toMP3 music by faithfully restoring sonic detail to compressed MP3 format soconsumers on-the-go experience the same sound quality as in their living room.
