    Now had the archos for over a year and what a top peice of kit it has been. All features work well, sound quality with a set of good headphones is great and the screen is ultra clear. I have used the item for my daily 30 min train journey and always watch a movie recorded via the docking station from Sky.

    I cant fault this item, two Ipods have broken in the time I have owned the 605 Wifi belonging to my son. Shame about the earlier reviews, guess I was licky with my one!

    Bought this Archos 605 WiFi 30GB in Oct 09 worked ok but then things started going wrong a couple of months ago ,I can only use the touch screen as the buttons don't work properly & now it won't connect to the internet. The battery life is useless, about an hour watching videos The screen size is the only thing going for it.I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, waste of money!

    sound quality compared to i pod crap, and this is my 2nd archos to go wrong, also you have to buy a charger and get charged again to access wi fi,
    i bought it cos of the screen size and picture quality, but the tv switch packed up 2 weeks after buying, i think they look nice but arent reliable at all

    Great when working. But in my experience it crashes regularly..
    Unable to obtain help in UK for me personally. Where can you get them repaired?
    I do not recommend the Archos 605 WiFi 30GB mp3 player.

    I have the Archos unit, the 605 wifi 160gb for about six months. I have music, films and photos loaded on to it. It is easy to double the cost of your purchase by buying plug- ins from the archos site. Without them certain video formats wont play which can limit the usability. All the plug-ins should be free and archos' point that customers can purchase plug-ins if needed is rather a shallow marketing ploy which I feel it is now.
    THe PC /Laptop connectability is straightforward. Drag and drop ve ...

    I thought long and hard before buying a media player, it came down to the Archos 605 80GB or an Apple Ipod-touch 32GB, I chose the Archos mainly because of the larger screen and 80Gb hard drive. On paper the Archos has a very rich list of features and I must admit I was very impressed when the unit arrived, it appears to be very well made with quite a substantial weight to it, perhaps slightly too heavy. After about 24hrs of owning the unit I started to have problems with crashing. When the unit ...

    I bought the Archos 605 WiFi 30GB for my wife for Christmas. Really, I just wanted it for videos, photos and music. When you start using it you realize that you have to buy plug-ins to watch video - a bit like buying a new TV and finding that it's only got sound and you've got to pay extra for the picture! I loaded photos onto it only to be told that they were too big. I resized everything on my computer to 1600 x 1200 and still some would display and some wouldn't. I have spent hours messing a ...
