Fitness freaks will appreciate the sports-minded Philips Active PSA232, but they'll have to pay a premium for it.

| The good: | The Philips Active PSA232 boasts a sturdy, fitness-friendly design with fun chrome accenting and cool, rocking faceplate controls. Useful features, such as a talking stopwatch and an armband, add to this player's gym appeal. The PSA232 also includes an FM tuner and a Mini SD slot for memory expansion, and it offers surprisingly robust bass response through a solid set of earbuds. |
| The bad: | The Philips Active PSA232's sporty, over-the-ear-style 'buds won't fit every user, and while the screw-on battery cover offers extra protection from sweat, we didn't like having to remove it to access the USB port. The player also has horrible battery life. |
| The bottom line: | Fitness freaks will appreciate the sports-minded Philips Active PSA232, but they'll have to pay a premium for it. |
