If Philips are guilty of one thing, its overlooking a decent product name. That trend seems to be changing, which is a good thing considering the GoGear Opus could also be known as the SA1OP08K. So what we have here is the latest 8GB version of their...
Good bundled headphones, good quality audio, easy to use, supports BBC iPlayer...
Lack of format support, especially for video, size, not terribly exciting...
The Philips GoGear Opus doesnt do anything drastically wrong but it doesnt really excite either...

Product Code: SA10PS08 Philips GoGear Opus 8GB is an audio and video playing portable with a 2.8in screen. The latest addition to Philips GoGear line of portable music players is the Philips GoGear Opus 8GB, a sharp-looking and comparatively large...
A decent but not overwhelmingly impressive effort from Philips. The Opus looks great and is a pleasure to use; its also temptingly priced. Unfortunately sound quality with the bundled headphones could be better, and thats a bit of a dealbreaker when...

When we reviewed the diminutive Philips GoGear Spark MP3 player back in March, we were quietly impressed. Now that Philips has introduced the larger Opus, it’s time to see if the Spark was just a flash in the pan. Philips GoGear SA5295 Opus Philips has...
The Opus is another solid effort from Philips, its conservative looks, slow start up time and merely adequate video performance notwithstanding. In its favour it produces a very good sound, is extremely easy to use, has a very fine FM radio, decent fo...

www.philips.co.ukCompared to our award-winners, the Philips GoGear Opus is rather lacking because it isnt a touchscreen device and the screen is nowhere near as bright and colourful. The one advantage, however, is price. Although the Philips GoGear i...

When it comes to new MP3 players and PMPs, personality now matters. The days when you could stick out a basic, black box with a drab interface and a serial number for a name are gone. People want a little glamour. They want a little style. This is somethi...
The Opus delivers excellent audio, but on all other counts it's slightly lacking. Most of all, it's low on excitement, and Philips really needs to address this if it's serious about staying in the PMP game...

The GoGear range of media devices from Philips has fared quite well. They manage to deliver a fairly decent set of features in a relatively easy to use set up. I can’t honestly say I’m crazy about the packaging as the PMPs tend to look quite generic wi...
Good audio quality, FM reception was ok, Decent Battery life...
Video playback was not too great, UI is a little bit sluggish, Slightly large design...
Video Philips has included a host of software with the Opus for a variety of purposes. The media converter adapts video files for optimal viewing on the Opus’ display. It’s quite a speedy process converting videos even full length movies. I wa...
