Review Update: Bad bugs for Philips GoGear LUXE SA24

After the extensive tests by our team, we have found problems which might seriously affect your interest in acquiring one of these MP3 Bluetooth headsets.

  1. The software of the GoGear is disturbingly unstable for us. Calls, regardless incoming/outgoing, sometimes do make your LUXE halt. And by sometimes we means around 25% probability, which is absolutely too high to tolerate.

    The 25% probability means you have to drop the bluetooth connection and return to phone, and sometimes this machine won't respond unless you pin the reset hole.

    To make things worse, you need to bring your own pin.

  2. The shuffle list is seriously bugged. It has really stupid shuffle system. You turn on the machine in shuffle music mode, play the first song (A), and the next song is (D), and (F)(B)(E)(C) for example. Now you turn it off or reset it due to the bug in problem (1).

    Restarting the machine and the GoGear LUXE will go back to the ADFBEC sequence, with absolutely no reordering. Someone please tell us how on earth is it qualified as "shuffle"?

  3. The reception of headset is unstable and depends on luck. If you switch back to phone, the problem is gone, so we're 100% sure it's the headset that matters.

Without a viable update of firmware, we have to downgrade the headset to a 3/10, for it fails to provide an acceptable quality of telephone conversation.

Don't buy Philips Gogear. I received one for xmas, it fried when doing a firmware update. It took 3 months to get a replacement. Symantec says the disk had trogens. Turned it off. Go Gear does not charge, does not transfer files, THIS IS CARP. I HAVE SPENT 8 HOURS WITH ON-LINE HELP AND I KNOW MORE THAN THESE IDIOTS. WANT TO VISIT THE HEART INSTITUTE, BUY PHILIPS.See you in Small Claims Court idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!
