Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox (30GB) Reviews

 

CNET has written a review about Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox (30GB) and rated it as ‘Very good’

 

The good: Philips’s nice-sounding 30GB GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox has a stylish design with an intuitive touch-sensitive interface and is packed with features such as a photo-friendly color screen, support for WMA DRM 10 subscription content, an FM radio tuner, and a voice recorder.

 

The bad: Some users will not warm up to the Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox’s lack of tactile controllers. Plus, its case shows fingerprints and smudges, the unit’s battery is not user-replaceable, and some users have experienced processor-performance issues.

 

The bottom line: The stylish and feature-packed Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox is the closest that a WMA-compatible model has come to capturing the iPod’s design appeal, but try the touch-sensitive interface before you buy.

 

Jungle Life San Francisco has posted a review about Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox and writes - ‘In summary I have to say that I’m very happy with this player. It circumvents some of the more annoying features of other players with its robust ID3 and drag/drop support. It has great battery life and gets a 70% charge in 1 hour with full charge in 4. It looks sleek and isn’t an iPod, includes a protective carrying sleeve, and comes with adequate headphones that don’t have that stupid one-side-longer-than-the-other cable that looks moronic unless wrapped behind your head. It’s affordably priced at just under $300, has a healthy 30gigs of disk space, includes support information on the player itself (first for a DAP as far as I know), and has gotten consistently positive reviews from a variety of reputable websites. I used a 10% coupon that I receieved in the mail from Best Buy to bring the price down a bit further.’

 

PC Magazine considered Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox very good - ‘ Apple’s dominance of MP3 players is forcing others to concentrate on design, and that’s producing some sleek, elegant competitors, like the 30GB Philips GoGear HDD6330. It may not be perfect—the interface often responds slowly and battery life won’t wow you—but the combination of good sound, ultra-stylish looks, and a broad feature set makes this a solid alternative to the iPod, especially for those who prefer Windows Media Player 10 to iTunes.’
