Okay, so quite a few months ago, I had to go to my college by bus, and I thought why not buy an external MP3 player. So I went with the Philips GoGear.
It’s been 4 months now, and it’s been lying around in my cupboard. So what I actually realised while using this thing was, that I don’t need an external MP3 player. Here are the reasons why.
1) When I used to be in college, whether I kept in my pocket, or my bag, I had to keep in mind that I was carrying it, and take care, so that I don’t drop it while taking something out of my bag or my pocket.
2) Battery is not so good. It lasts for around an hour only. And its always a bother to keep in mind that I have to charge this thing.
3) Using my cellphone for music is so much easier, I can stream or download whatever I want at anytime. For this thing, I have to first download songs on my computer and then copy it to the mp3 player.
4) In my phone, I can sort songs by Artists, Albums or any way I like. In this thing, I just cannot.
5) In my phone, I can search any song. In this I can’t.
6) The biggest thing, my phone offers Bluetooth connectivity, and now I have shifted to Bluetooth headsets. This does not have Bluetooth connectivity.
7) Lastly, phones these days have better sound output than these players. Especially iPhone’s, they have much better sound quality output than any other mp3 player.
So yeah, I realised that I don’t really need it. So please think before buying, if you need it or not.
