It sounds very good (as well as my previous Archos - which in addition to the quality that I was used to from the Gmini 402, the real reason was to grab back to Archos) - but it is better to use higher-quality earphones to even the last people out of the sound quality ,
For Touchscreen - well I'm better accustomed from my HTC Magic - because sometimes you have to just twice the selection active until the Archos 3 Vision finally does what you ask. But after several calibrations of the touch screen - an additional function under 'Settings' - has become very small and this little problem.
It is a pity that there is no real playlist support. Although man can create a "favorites list", but several lists can not manage it.
Topic Videos: I have already made several attempts to view videos. The video already on the memory shows that the vision is capable of crisp and clear moving images to show.
But when you play yourself, using a mobile phone (Nokia N82), recorded videos he falters a bit. These are in mp4 format (30fps, 640 x 480). When playing is just the sound at original speed, the video appears in three-quarter speed lag behind until the sound and the video are so far apart that the watch no longer makes sense. Even a .avi video could only be played with stuttering.
Furthermore - I think that has to be solved with a firmware update - makes the key lock at times only after twice on and off again to inputs.
Also, the on-off switch with plugged earphones is difficult to achieve so that the Power-on and key barriers to finger acrobatics is. But you get used to it.
Unfortunately, there is no support on the Archos web site, including any firmware updates or otherwise.
I hope that as soon as possible but such updates are available and make the product even better.
But enough of the gripe. For the top prize of the Archos 3 Vision is a very good device with it's fun listening to music.
Also kudos to Amazon.com: The first device that I got sent had after unpacking and first turning on an ever-green-glowing pixels. Without circumstances I could return the equipment and got two days later, my replacement.
This time, all right.
So who is looking for a MP3 player of very good sound quality, beautiful design, ability to play videos, listen to the radio and look at pictures, and the possibility of his MP3s on your car radio to 'beam' (FM transmitter) provides should access here.
