Enjoy superb sound while listening to your favorite MP3s with the 256 MB Philips ShoqBox sound system. The compact ShoqBox, which measures a mere 7.16 by 2.28 by 2.08 inches (W x H x D), stores up to 60 MP3 or 120 WMA files on its built-in flash memory, then outputs them through the system's pair of tiny yet powerful speakers. The resulting sound combines bright, brisk treble and midrange sound with elastic, room-filling bass--a pairing that's sure to please casual music fans and audiophiles alike.
The speakers owe their elite performance to their high-tech titanium cones and neodymium magnets, which deliver a sound output with nearly twice the power of traditional drivers of the same size. In addition, the drivers, acoustic architecture, and circuitry are precisely tuned, further optimizing the bass performance. Listeners will also dig the six-mode equalizer--which includes classic, hip-hop, jazz, pop, rock, and normal modes--and the dynamic bass boost function. Customizing the ShoqBox's audio output is as easy as pushing a button.
Should you tire of listening to your stored MP3 and WMA files, you can connect the ShoqBox to a personal CD player, PC, or other device via the line-in port. To switch from MP3/WMA to the auxiliary device, simply select the "line-in" function from the main menu. Once you do, you can rock out to your favorite CD, run the audio for your PC games through the speakers, or bring a sophisticated PowerPoint presentation to life.
Additional features include a digital FM tuner with 10 station presets, upgradeable firmware that improves the functionality of the device, a USB 1.1 interface for quick music downloads, a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that offers up to 10 hours of playback, an integrated alarm, and a convenient travel case that protects the set during transport.
The ShoqBox, which weighs 0.77 pounds, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts (90 days labor).

Philips PSS110 GoGear ShoqBox 256 MB Personal MP3 Sound System Reviews
| 43 of 44 people found the following review helpful  Good music player, bad alarm clock, By This review is from: Philips PSS110 GoGear ShoqBox 256 MB Personal MP3 Sound System (Electronics) I got this little guy hoping it could be a good alarm clock replacement, but I've found that it doesn't work so well in that regard. That is not to say that it is a bad music player though, it's just not meant to be an alarm clock.It looks like it would be perfect as a portable speaker set for an iPod or something, due to it's size and rechargeable battery. Or if you didn't have a computer at work and wanted something you could bring in to play music files on. It's very portable. The good: 1. sound - puts out some pretty decent sound considering the size. 2. size - smaller than I thought it would be. not pocket-sized, but not prohibitively big or heavy either. 3. looks - very polished design. 4. accessories - comes with cord antenna, line-in cord & carry case, all good add-ons that complete the function of the unit. 5. firmware upgradeable, so more (or more improved) features may be yet to come. The bad: 1. clock displays...

However, I bought it hoping that I could carry it in an open-top bike handlebar bag and listen to it while commuting, but it's not quite loud enough for that.Further, I found the radio reception terrible! It has an automatic scanner, but it could not find a single station in the middle of the San Fernando Valley, which is not exactly a place lacking in signals. Interface-wise, trying to enter a station manually meant clicking a tiny button progressively through every .1 increase in channel numbers -- holding down the button would not automatically progress through them as expected -- so it's a real pain to reach high-numbered channels. And when you do, the PSS110 is not likely to receive them. My experience with moving files to it was an exercise in patience. It took more than 20 minutes to clear the machine and...

Normal shower radios always sound awful and most don't have MP3 capability. Obviously I can't take this unit into the shower, but it takes up very little space and I can set it near the shower without any problem.First the good: 1. This unit sounds really good for what it is. It's not going to compete with your stereo system, but the sound is clean and crisp. It's also very loud when you turn the volume all the way up. Easily loud enough to accommodate a midsize room. It sounds better by far, than any other speaker I've heard that is a similar size. 2. It has a rechargable battery, with a life of about 10 hours. Some people may see this as a liability, but I hate changing batteries all the time so I like it. 3. This thing makes a very passable alarm clock. Some of the other comments knock this feature, however,... Read more |
