Philips GoGear Opus

The GoGear Opus is Philips’ take on Apple’s iPod touch, allowing users to listen to music and watch videos on the device’s 2.8in screen. Its key selling point is its fantastic “FullSound” sound quality, which provides a rich listening experience.

The GoGear Opus also comes with some excellent high-def headphones. These in-ear buds use noise-isolation technology to direct soundwaves straight to the ear drum for superior tone and clarity.

Philips has teamed up with Napster to offer users music downloads starting from £9.95 per month. There are more than seven million songs to choose from in the Napster catalogue, and the service can also suggest music from new artists that might also match your musical tastes.
