Move to your music and enjoy the freedom of MP3 headphones. Your GoGEAR Action comes with a set of high quality in-ear headphones that deliver superb audio and has a wire that runs behind the neck, so it doesn’t tangle or get in your way while you work out. The MP3 headphones are also flexible, letting you fold and put them away easily. Comfortable and lightweight, these wireless headphones are perfect for running, jogging and cycling.

High quality in-ear headphones for best comfort and fit

The headphones are so comfortable that they allow you to engage yourself fully in your music. In fact, you might just forget that you are wearing them.

Voice feedback for updates and validations in your language

Philips makes things simpler with GoGEAR Action’s Voice feedback. The feature provides verbal confirmations and cues in the language of your choice. It keeps you abreast of the player’s status – for example, when shuffle mode is turned on, when it is preparing the music database for playback and when battery life is low. It even greets you when you turn your Action on. While you are working out, Voice feedback delivers important feedback, including how long you’ve been exercising and the number of calories burnt – all without breaking your stride.

Built-in pedometer for instant tracking

Keep pace with your music and keep track of your steps with GoGEAR Action. The Action’s built-in pedometer tells you the time taken for your work out and the number of calories, after a quick one-time calibration. It offers motivation for great workouts, as well as accurate measurements. Simply wear your Action and let it count out the hours of fun.
