Archos vision 14, August 5, 2011

This review is from: Archos - 14 Vision - 4GB MP3/MP4 Player w/ FM Radio (Electronics)

The Archos vision 14 is a great mini mp3 player, it has great colour and picture for its size, a nice 4 gigabyte storage limit, and it plays video, FM radio, text files, several audio files such as Mp3, FLAC, AAC, and WMA. Also this being an Archos device, it has great sound quality.
It also has a built in video converter so you can convert most videos to a correct format.

As far as cons go, the battery life is a bit short, but for a mp3 player this small, the battery must also be small. Navigation for this mp3 player is a bit wonkey and takes sometime to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, its no longer an issue. it isn't touchscreen and doesn't have expandable storage.

all in all, its a great device, and worth every penny. It isn't an ipod, but thats really a plus in my book. you don't need any fancy software to use it, it works just like a flashdrive.

I have bought 2 of these players. Liked 1st so much bought 2nd. Can't go wrong; this player blows you away it is powerful and fits in palm of hand! Only drawbacks are no fm recording and hard to delete files. I Have an rca opal 4gb and the archos is half the size and 2X the volume. An excellent find and I recommend ARCHOS audio products to all.

overall this is a decent product, there aren't too many pros however, it's battery life is very bad, dies after only 2 hours of constant use, it's mic hole is open for small particles of stuff to fall into like sawdust and the like. i don't mind Archos products but i have noticed that the battery life on all of them has been poor overall and i don't think i'll be buying Archos anymore.
