FullSound Technology Restores Rich Detail to MP3 Music Using Philips' innovative FullSound technology, the GoGear Vibe allows you to experience distortion-free, CD-quality audio. Combining Philips' expertise in music reproduction with the latest Digital Signal Processor (DSP), FullSound restores details to compressed MP3 music files for an enhanced listening experience that includes rich, full bass, and improved clarity on both vocal and instrumental tracks.
FM radio with RDS and 20 presets Unlike many one-trick MP3 players, the Vibe gives you access to FM radio, so you can catch the news, get traffic updates, and keep up with tunes that you haven't downloaded yet. The FM radio receiver is RDS-enabled, so it can pick up and display information about what you're listening to, including program details, song titles, and artist names. And the Vibe lets you dial in 20 preset radio stations--you'll spend less time searching for signals, and more time listening.
Built-in Microphone Convenient for Note Taking When you wish to capture and replay your own audio or simply take notes, the Vibe includes a built-in microphone that allows you to record audio files in MP3 format.
Clear Display and Intuitive Navigation Options A 1.5-inch full-color display makes it easy to view album art and personal photos, while a folder-view navigation option lets you organize and view media files just like you do on your PC. The Vibe also offers Smart Shuffle; a function that identifies your favorite files and puts them at the top of your queue.
8 GB Memory and Extended Battery Life The 8 GB Vibe features plenty of space for your favorite media, with room for up to 1800 songs or 2000 photos.
And it features an extensive battery life. A single charge offers up to 24 hours of audio playback or 4 hours of video playback, and a convenient low-battery indicator lets you know when it's time to recharge. Charging takes place through your computer using a USB cable, so you don't have to worry about cumbersome chargers or product-specific docking stations.
