Manual of product 104
Editorial note
The Archos 104 MP3 player stands out for its lightweight and compact design, making it easy to carry with a weight of only 80 g and reduced dimensions (43 x 14 x 91 mm). It offers a large storage capacity via its hard drive, allowing for a vast library of audio and video files. With an adjustable bit rate of 30 to 320 Kbit/s for MP3 and WMA formats, it ensures customizable audio quality, suited to different listening needs. Additionally, the rechargeable battery provides a continuous playback time of 13 hours, ideal for users on the go. However, the product has some limitations. The lack of voice recording and FM radio functionality restricts certain usage possibilities, which may disappoint users looking for these features. Furthermore, the 1.5-inch screen size may seem too small for easy navigation, and the silver design may not appeal to everyone. Although the audio performance is satisfactory, it may not meet the expectations of audiophiles seeking superior quality. Finally, the use of a USB 1.1 port in addition to a USB 2.0 port may result in slower data transfer speeds. In summary, the Archos 104 offers good value for money, especially with its included accessories, but its functional limitations and design may not suit all users.Score details
