The included earbuds are surprisingly decent.   The bad: The Philips GoGear HDD1630’s glossy, black surface is highly smudge prone, and the touch-sensitive controls are ultrasensitive. The player’s processor isn’t always up to speed.   The bottom line: The Philips GoGear Jukebox 6GB (HDD1630) will please penny-pinchers and patient power users alike, but if you demand a speedy processor in your MP3 player, look elsewhere.

From DesignTechnica user reviews -

‘This Mp3 is great. Great looks, great sound, great everything. Why would anyone want a 2 gig ipod nano instead of a 6 gig thats the same price?’

‘

The HDD1630 does not have a battery life of 18 hours as advertised. The first day I had it, I charged the battery for four hours. Six hours of continous use (listened to recorded music) the battery went dead. I recharged the battery again for four hours, this time I only used the radio, the battery lasted 8 hours. So I don’t know why Philips and the outlets that sells this product, keep advertising that the battery lasts 18 hours. They’re all full of boloney. I have not tested yet the 3000 songs capacity yet. I only have 617 songs recorded. It works smoothly when downloading music, but the battery gets a ZERO rating.’
