Philips ShoqBox

Just around the size of a hot dog bun, this versatile MP3 player has speakers making it ideal for use at the park, at home, in dorm rooms, and for travelers (based on its multiple functions: MP3 player to listen en-route and alarm clock to wake you up in the hotel to your favorite music or FM radio station via the built in tuner). The ShoqBox (Model#PSS110) holds 60 MP3 music tracks (approximately 4 hours of music) making this little music maven a great source of entertainment for tailgating and outdoor get-togethers, too. The XSL speakers give a big sound, however, there is also a headphone jack for personal listening. Plug your laptop into the ShoqBox for killer sounding PowerPoint presentations.
