For superior sound quality on-the-go, Philips launched this month a new range of GoGear portable audio and video players. With six brand new models, there is now an extensive range to choose from that promises superb sound reproduction and great all-round value.

Philips FullSound Technology
The Philips GoGear Opus, Aria, Luxe and Spark all feature Philips’ innovative FullSound technology which faithfully restores sonic details to compressed MP3 music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so users can experience music the way is was meant to be. FullSound combines Philips’ renowned expertise in music reproduction with the power of the latest generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that analyzes the sound track ten million times per second to restore the original sound experience. The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail.

Internet Video Download
Another innovative feature found in the GoGear Opus, Aria and ViBE is the Internet Video Download. This easy-to-use feature enables video downloads from video sharing sites such as Youtube, MySpace or Google Video directly to the GoGear.
