Editorial Review:
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).

Rating:  - The "Energizer Bunny" of radios.
My wife and I use music to help our daughter of three to nap and sleep at night. The first 1.5 years we wore out 5 CD/radios (some cheap, some not so cheap). We found this 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. It runs 16+ hours a day (everyday!), and it is still going. If you are looking for high fidelity, keep looking, if you are looking for a dependable product that sounds good for it's size (remember it is only about 2x3x6 inches) you found it.
Rating: - I totally LOVE this thing!
I bought this mp3 player a year ago to use on my school bus. It's tiny, so it takes up hardly any space & I use velcro to make sure it doesn't slide around.
One reviewer complained it wasn't loud enough, and quite frankly, I have NO idea how loud they want it to go, because I can hear it just fine. In fact, the loudest volume is too loud, even over the extremely noisy bus!
The sound quality is very good, and the battery life is excellent. I charge mine every weekend ... Read More
Rating: - An excellent product
This Philips' personal sound system (PSS) is truly one of the best products I have ever bought online. Thus, it's very valuable for many reasons:
First of all, since it's built-in speakers, the options can be to use it with headphones or without headphones, now, the speakers, that are loud enough which allowed everybody around to hear what's being played, (personally, I often cannot listen to anything with headphones for long);
secondly, it comes not only with mp3, but also with windows ... Read More

This is a great product that you need to work with a little before you start using it. Here are the instructions cribbed from a discussion group:
1. Charge unit for 5 hours.
2. Press the reset button under the flap at the back. Use a ballpoint pen to press down firmly for about 10 seconds. Press the play/power button for about 10 seconds and you will see word on the screen. there is no music on the unit this point. You could se the radio but strongly suggest you do step 3 below. ...

I purchased this item because a friend of mine had it, and the sound quality was excellent! I don't use it as an MP3 player...I use it for business as a speaker system for my computer. It is great, and very portable!
