Good Points: Exceptional sound quality
Easy to navigate through menus

Bad Points: All tracks were called 'track not found'. This could just be an individual problem with mine
Relatively small memory
Expensive at the time but prices have come down since

General comments: I acquired the PSS110 soon after release and paid £60 for these cool and stylish MP3 speakers. At the time not many similar products were on the market so I thought I would give it a go. In my opinion it was well worth the purchase due to the amazing sound quality of speakers these size. Even at loud volumes, depending on the amount of bass, there is no distortion. One concern though was the failure of the MP3 player to recognise the track names even though I was using the software which came with it. I suspect this was an individual fault with my player. I also found rather frustrating the small amount of memory as 256mb is clearly not enough to meet the demands of anyone who wishes to store their entire music soundtrack on it. The FM radio function is handy as well as the alarm clock function but what I found most handy was the 'line in' function as this allowed me to connect it to my laptop and replace the rather poor standard laptop speakers.

Introduction of the Philips PSS110:
I picked this up at Asda as it was on offer of below £20. If it works as advertised, it is a good piece of gear in concept. However that is a big 'IF'. I had tried for a whole month on 3 different computers and it just could not work as promised.

Concept:
Build a MP3 player in a reasonable pair of speakers for use around the house, or bring it on the road and use it as a radio alarm clock in the hotel.

A quite useless CD ...

The Philips PSS110 MP3 player is not really a personal MP3 player, but a travel radio/alarm clock that can also play MP3's. It is small, light and easy to use. Tiny speakers the size of a 50p piece produce a surprisingly powerful sound with good bass registers. Memory is limited to the built-in 256MB, which is sufficient for 7 - 8 hours of music. It would have been easy for Philips to provide a slot for SD memory cards... Perhaps they will address this in future models.

All in all, a good lit ...
