Philips HDD085/05

I got this mp3 at a bargain in Asda as it was meant to be full price but when got it to the till to pay it came up as £29.99 and i was over the moon about it. bargain!

The Philips HDD085/05 is an awesome player and I would have recommended it a year ago. But now Philips has made a bunch of new models. Id recommend them.

The Philips HDD085 is a great mp3 player. It comes with Windows Media player 10 (the software you need to to put music on the device), a mains adapter, a USB 2.0 cable, a neckstrap, a rubber carry case and obviously a pair of earphones (which cost £15 in the old Argos catalogue!) The player has superb sound quality and several equalizer options, along with a dictation machine that records an exceptionally clear sound. The lack of an FM radio is a shame.

The unit also freezes if you press too many buttons too fast - this can be resolved be resetting the device (you won't lose any music or settings!)

Firmware upgrades are regularly available too.

I can personaly get about 800-900 tracks on mine- (a mixture of mp3 and wma files). My player has 8-9 hours of battery life.

If you're thinking of getting an Ipod, think again. I would consider getting one of these for half the price instead.
