Philips GoGear SA6025

Video and Audio quality is good
Clear interface
Earphone output is low
Video files need to be converted using only the provided converter

Pictures
Next up is the image section. Not much to say here except that the SA6025 supports JPEG viewing, so you can view your images on the go.


Music
The music section is of course a more important factor. Audio quality was quite good. Unfortunately the earphones provided weren’t. Although. They sadly produced too low an output for my taste. For a daily commuter it’s necessary to have sound swimming around your head that's loud enough to drown out the ambient chaos. The bundled earphones did not meet this requirement.

Although you do have the option of changing settings with the many EQ presets, what I did like is that Philips has provided a customizable EQ option. The biggest drawback is – if you’re listening to a track and you need to adjust the EQ setting, you have to go back through the various menus and return to the main menu, go to the Settings option, and then change it. Too long a procedure.

You will also need to create playlists of your music since it has no folder view option. But you can do this from the player directly, by simply using the Playlist button while the track is playing. The player also sorts tracks by artist and other embedded data if present. Files can be copy-pasted directly into the player when connected.

Radio and Microphone
The radio picks up signals extremely well when you’re stationary in a place that already has good reception, but not while you’re traveling. The signal tends to get distorted and inaudible. On the plus side it takes the SA6025 all of 10 seconds to find and store all available channels as presets. The microphone appears to have great range. I say 'appears' because if you have your earphones connected you can hear everything that’s going on around you quite clearly. But the recording sensitivity of the same is virtually non-existent.

Battery
Finally the battery. The SA6250 uses a 800mAh. Li-Polymer battery which is really good. It dishes out a good 14-plus hours of music and at least 3 hours and 40 minutes of video. That’s around a full movie and a little more than half of the next.

The Bottomline
The SA6025 is a really good player in my book. A few kinks here and there are quite all right; no one’s perfect. But remember what I said about the player lacking something that would have increased its appeal? In the SA6025 what I’d love to have had is an external slot for more memory. The price of Rs. 6,999 may seem a bit steep for just 2GB of space, but it is a great player. You just had better have a nicer set of earphones though, to enjoy the full potential of the SA6025.

Extremely third class piece. I am writing this because , i am so fade up with the "Philips GoGear SA6025" -2 GB i took and found its features extremely useless. Sound quality is not that good. People generally think that this piece has got all the things like MP3 , FM, video ,jpg etc and that to it is avialble at very resonable price. But be aware...........VERY BAD PIECE ......... DONOT GO FOR IT.

My Philips GoGear SA6025 started giving fault with its MP3 in one month of buying and I lost all me gr8 collection of songs.

Though there is warranty period of 1 year. I gave it to the service center and still waiting for it to get . You need to also look to the kind of satisfaction these service center provides you. Very BAD ...They donot even know how to behave with customer .
