Great news for over indulgers who've already lost the will to exercise! The Philips and Nike partnership has launched a new and improved line of co-branded portable audio players specifically created to make keeping fit more enjoyable.

The new range debuts innovative features, such as sports waistbands to offer better ways of securing the players, plus specification upgrades to maintain the highest quality audio experience. The players maintain a unique ergonomic design with style as important as functionality and with no look buttons operation is easy by touch alone.

The 3 new products, 2 MP3 Players and 1 CD personal, include upgraded MP3 memory and duro headphones offering more secure comfort for an enhanced audio experience whilst on the move:

ACT211 and ACT215 MP3 Players

Increasing memory to 256mb is the step up model, the ACT215, which can store up to 6 hours of your own mix of MP3s. Both products feature duro dynamic bass boost active headphones, ensuring a comfortable and uninhibited high quality audio experience. Giving optimum unrestrained comfort for an enjoyable workout, the popular armband is now joined by the new waist strap. With no-look buttons, smart wire management and a ten hour battery life you can have a portable audio system to last throughout the day and musicmatch jukebox manager software is supplied to easily create your very own music mix.

ACT500 CD Player
The new CD player in the range features a stylish slimmer design, duro dynamic bass boost headphones and an extra sports pack waistband to offer yet another convenient way of not just storing the player during exercising, but your keys and money as well. The player has a stainless steel coating, is sweat resistant and has shock protection to prevent skipping. With a 12 hour battery life it plays audio CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs. The smart wire management is designed to give you maximum freedom of movement even on the most challenging work out.
