Great and inexpensive phone, 2008-10-08
Got this to replace a very poor BT cordless phone and answering machine. This little thing looks better, works better, hold a charge, is simple to operate. Inother words, good value for money.

Philips AJ100/05 Clock Radio

• Large backlit LCD display for easier viewing in low light
• Digital tuning with presets
• Alarm Time Display shows you the wake-up call time
• Wake up to your favourite radio tune or a buzzer
• Gentle wake with increasing alarm volume

not bad, 2007-10-21
The sound is okay (and, while it is indeed okay, read this in terms of radio alarm clocks). The 'gentle wake' system sounds good but the reality is limited. I'd imagined waking to the gradually increasing volume of the radio but instead, it only works on the alarm, which is something of an old-school alarm clock buzzer getting slightly more frenetic. The radio presets are on the side, which is not ideal, though it depends how much you change them. You can alter the display and dim or turn off the backlight (reviewers of certain other clock radios seem to be having tape over over-bright displays). While turning the display off is useful, it's a shame there aren't more steps in the brightness cycle, so you could adjust to your own sense of how much light you'd like while sleeping. So, overall, sound isn't bad, you can see the display without it seeming like daylight. It's a neat, compact unit and seems not bad for the price. However, these surely must only be entry level criteria for a radio alarm clock, it seems like some serious evolution is required in the field.

Great buy, don't move, 2008-07-17
These earhook headphones are great for the gym and running and are reasonbly priced. I put these headphones in when i go into the gym and do not touch them again until i'm leaving - when i take them out. They stay put and never feel like they might fall out and are comfortable too. On top of all that the sound quality is also very good.

Philips SPE3091CC 1TB 3.5" External Hard Disk Drive USB2.0

Excellent external drive for the price, 2008-10-02
I have bought this external drive about 2 months back and till now havent had any problems. It works as expected and for the price, I think this is better than few others available in the market. However time will say.
Few things that I feel Philips can improve on this drive are:
1. Noise
2. Heating problem (It heats up to quite a high temperature)
3. Problem while taking it out. Windows sometimes gives a message that Drive is not responding/busy and cannot be stopped at the moment.

Other than these I cannot really think of anything.
I would definitely recommend this drive to everyone.

Philips GoGear SA2820 2Gb MP3 Player

Excellent player, no question., 2008-12-19
I recently bought this little player and was extremely impressed almost straight away. After using dynamite to extract the player and other equipment from the extremely well made packaging i was surprised by how light it was. I previously used the zen stone and it was very similar.
Installation and quick use was done in seconds and i was loading albums onto as soon as the charge complete.

The sound quality was good but i adjusted the presets (i found the hip hop setting to be the best non-custom balance) and there was way more bass than i expected. Ditch the headphones and buy another set, the difference is immense if you even spend £20 on another set (i have yet to find an mp3 player with good standard headphones).

The neckstrap is okay but i use this for work so it gets in the way if you aren't sitting down all day. The extra long USB cable is also handy but best of all is the battery life. So far i have played it constantly at work with pretty heavy music for nine solid hours and it barely goes down to half bars.

A couple of very minor niggles get in the way but nothing to put you off buying this player. I highly reccomend it.

Great if target room above transmitter, 2008-05-01
Great value at £30.00 but you need the other room to be directly above the sender. It roughly took 5 minutes to get working with a poor picture and then an addtional 1 hour to get it working well. Finally got best picture with channel 3 (4 channels, switch at rear of device) and switching off my WIFI connection.

EXCELLENT HEADPHONES!!, 2008-07-26
Recently acquired these for my 40th (:-() birthday and very pleased!
Very comfortable (and adjustable) with plenty of padding on the ears.
The sound quality is excellent - particularly on vocals and bass guitar.
I'm very into Symphonic/Progressive Metal as well as Classical so good sound is a MUST!
The headphones are completeley wireless and powered by rechargeable batteries (present in the box) and there's a small wireless transmitter with a DC adaptor that stays connected to the mains. You simply use the cable to attach the transmitter to your audio source; DVD, HiFi etc and the signal is sent to the headset - really simple. You also charge the headphones, via a lead, off the transmitter unit. You get a Jack adaptor so the transmitter cable will fit every socket. Don't worry about leaving the DC adaptor connected to the mains - It only powers up (red light indicator) when it's connected to a stereo or DVD player etc that is switched ON. When you turn the audio/video appliance OFF, after a minute or so, the red light fades and the transmitter powers off - so you don't need to pull the plug out when not in use. The headphones have their own on/off button, and a volume setting that works in conjunction with the audio source.
The wireless range is excellent - even when leaving the bedroom, the sound was excellent all around the house. I even sat outside on the patio the other night at the back of the house and got a reasonable reception! And bear in mind, the stereo connected to the wireless transmitter was in a bedroom at the FRONT of the house! Yes, there was a reduced quality BUT it was still good enough to allow me the joy of the night air!
Very happy with them - Excellent for good quality music.....
