my archos 3 vision absolutely meets or exceeds my personal requirements for an mp3 player! times are tough so when my mp3 player was stolen in july 2008, i honestly tried to use my aging windows mobile phone with windows media player as a replacement player for over a year. however, that solution had several limitations and frustrations. there were workarounds, but i grew tired of them. the stolen player was an archos g-mini which i had owned for several years and i really appreciated it's features so that is the main reason i shopped for a new archos player first. the archos 3 vision player has all of those same features with heaping helping of style, storage and added features. pros: - it has style - priced under $100 - plenty of storage space - fits comfortably in all pockets - good quality video on beautiful screen - random play by folder, artist, album...Read more 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful:  Bit Dissapointed, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Archos 3 Vision 8 GB Video MP3 Player (Chocolate Brown) (Electronics) This is a cool looking gadget but that is all below are the thing to watch out for:
1) Very poor product documentation 2) Very poor technical support 3) No play list function 4) Very week FM radio receiver 5) Very very very poor FM transmitter 6) Touch screen is not responsive often requiring second, third, fourth...touches before the function is accessed 7) Menu navigation needs a rethink as once you have loaded it with more artist or albums than can fit the screen, scrolling to an artist or album is very difficult 8) Very very very very crappy headphones; you need to buy a pair of decent headphones to fully appreciate the music experience 9) No carry case as yet The Pluses: 1) Excellent sound quality (playback) 2) Excellent video quality (playback) 3) Cool looks 4) High quality look and feel 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:  Archos' worst effort, and definitely the worst touch screen PMP, This review is from: Archos 3 Vision 8 GB Video MP3 Player (Chocolate Brown) (Electronics) I bought this Archos 3 Vision player online for around $70. I was lured in by the chocolate brown color, the wide range of file support, and the FM transmitter. Impressed by previous Archos offerings, I decided to try this new player out.
When I first saw the item, I was extremely surprised by how small it was. My old MP3 player (a Philips SA6145 MP3 Player (Black)) has a 3.5" screen and is quite large. I regretted buying this Archos 3 immediately after seeing its small size, which is (no joke) barely bigger than a credit card. The only reason I left my perfect Philips was for a touch screen interface that the Philips didn't have. I very much regret doing that now, as I realize that my Philips was really a great player. And the touch screen, you may ask? It's truly horrible. It always requires at least two presses...Read more |
