Archos 705 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (160 GB) This product is what it has been represented as, a great player. The ability to connect to the network was a matter of pushing the icon,quick and easy.Working on learning the ins and outs so far so good.Bein
i own an archos 706. out of the box the volume is ridiculously low and the ear buds only fit people with giant ear holes (the french??). I purchased sony noise canceling headphones and a fifo inline amplifier and now i totally love my archos. I love it!!
I had an Archos 604 30GB wifi for about a year, and then decided to move over to the 705 160 GB wifi for more memory and for the larger screen size. I was very pleased with the 604, and I am even more pleased with the 705. It comes with a wall charger,
I got this for Christmas (after a number of hints to my wife!) and was playing with it as soon as I got it, and the DVR attachment. I wanted it mostly for travel but also wanted the DVR functionality and the ability to watch movies or view pictures on my
This is a really great media player. I had some difficulty at first connecting to a wireless internet connection, but I finally got it to work.Surfing the web is fast and easy. It does freeze up occasionally but restores itself when you turn it off and on
I owned an Archos Av700. I liked it but it had a lot of limitations. But this time Archos really made an improvement. The Wifi connectivity, the web browsing (after paying for the Opera plug in) and the fact that this time every file I uploaded to the dev
This product is just great. I will recommend it to anyone. The only thing that I would like for it to do is to go faster on the internet, but overall the product is a great product to buy.
I reviewed several video players prior to purchasing the Archos 705 160 GB. Then once I chose the 705 I had to wait about 2 months to actually find one in stock (more time to see other options). I have nothing but the highest praise for this device. Bu
Capable product but it needs too many expesive add-ons.Surfing the internet can alsobe challenging.
Archos knows portable media. They are the Gold Standard by which all others should be measured. This device plays DVD movies ripped in the raw .VOB format. Amazing. You have to buy the plug-in to perform this, but it's wonderful they even offer th
Response to "mediocre" review. The review posted by Elbasha77 was poor and misguiding. 10 minutes of research will let you know that plugins are required. This is across the line on Archos Gen 5, don't mark it down for that. Also, the audio
Vs the I-touch. I had a I touch and ended up getting a refund because I don't think I should have to "crack" software on a item I paid for to make it useful. Ive never looked back other than in pity of I-touch owners, still even "crack
I just got a 705 Archos (160g) and I'm loving it so far. It's a really beautiful piece of machinary. Everything works really well so far and i love the touch screen. I had read some review somewhere where a guy said the touch screen doesn
Hello Dish Network Fans! I just purchased the 705 to replace the PocketDish player which I have had in the past. The 705 is an excellent and easy to use media player for Dish Network DVR models 722 and 622. (The 722 is HD DVR). As soon as I opened the box
This is my third Archos video player, after the superb AV320, even better 404, and now the supreme 705. I have the 80gb unit, which is sufficient for me. I also have DishNetwork and found the fast direct transfer form my DVR to work very well. One drawbac
This device is extremely flexible and can do many things well. The reason I bought it, however, was to avoid having to carry around DVDs for the kids in the car, on vacations, and so on. Of course, transferring commercial (that is, encrypted) DVDs to an
The list of what this video player can do has been well stated in previous reviews. So let's get to the good stuff! First and foremost, I received my 705 WiFi very quickly. That said, I opened the box to find everything neatly boxed and easy to fi
BEST PVP PLAYER ON THE MARKET. if you want a pvp here you go. the cons of this player are stuff it really should'nt do. ie, $30 web browser. do you really need another gadget that surf's the web? if so then you could probably afford $30. $20 plu

A good decent PVP. I had the 704 and it was decent, but according to Archos own customer service, the machine was limited in its capabilites and would not be supported as the new 705 PVP came out. I was lucky enough to return my 704 for a new 705. The 705
Exactly what I was looking for! I really love the Apple iPod Touch, but the screen is too small for my eyesite. The Archos 705 and it's predecessor the 704 offer a large screen for those who really want to watch a movie without eye strain. The 705 ac
Love the 705! Only problem is I thought I was trading up from my current 605. Unfortunately that was not the case! First: What IDIOT came up with the idea that it was a good thing to go from the 16 million color capability in the 4.3" 605 to 260,000
I have only had my Archos 705 for a short time but so far really like the capabilities I have been able to access. The unit is WI-Fi so obviously I would like to use it to browse the internet along with its other capabilities of music, audio books, pictur
This is a great deal right now, you get solid 7 inch video player much more compact than a portable DVD player in a stylish industrial design to carry around all your movies and surf the net or your home network for a great price. You also get a removabl
Bought to transfer dishnetwork movies and tv shows. Use it in the car for grandchildren. Only complaint is short battery life. Would be lost without the car charger. Also great way to share media but found out cannot connect to Tv without the dvr stand.
I started with looking in my Dish Network DVR manual about TV on the go, and that lead me to check out the Archos models. I bought the cheapest version I could get on here that still Worked with my DISH NETWORK, so I could take all my DVR recordings with
At first I thought I would be returning this...but after some patience I really like it. One thing that will really help when you are begining to use this is to make sure the battery stays charged. If not, you may think it is gliching out, but it really m
I bought this as my job requires me to be out on oil field locations for no less than 8 hours at time with with no more to do than stay a wake with the occational knap. I work all hours of the day so I miss my shows. I got this because the convient size w
Before I give the cons I have to say this is the best PVP on the market. Although this is all I wish an Ipod was it's not something that can be placed in your pocket. It is big and bulky but with all the storage and the big 7 inch screen it's
Pros: Good Interface, plays videos/Music(MP3,WMA) well. Surf the Internet and play videos from Online. Great for Long travels on a plane or in a car. Cons: Tends to Lockup when it in Stand-by mode or Plugging in the USB Connections. If You don't Mi
Pros: 1)Easy to use. The screens are very intuitive. 2)160 GB- lots of storage space compared to IPhone or ITouch 3)You don't have to pay for features that you won't use. Archos requires the purcahse of various plug-ins, ie, video podcasts, ope
I mainly bought this device as i work the graveyard shift and needed something to occupy my time... had to go with the 160gb version because its 160gb, need i say more? lol... pros: 1) plays xvid divx movies 2) wifi works, not the fastest but still decen
I read through all of the reviews of this player before I bought it, and if I were to sum up the other reviews, they were 50/50. I felt like I should give a little back so here is my experience: Battery Life - I just don't understand what problem p
The first one I ordered died within 3 days of receiving it... not good I contacted the vendor and it took a week for them to reply with an RMA website.... VERY not good I contacted Amazon 5 minutes after I mail Archos and I had an email from customer serv
I purchased an Archos 705 (160GB) about two months ago and am just now getting around to leaving a review. Thus far, it has been a great product...NEARLY perfect. The good: Plenty of space...I have my Archos filled up with all the music, movies, photos, a
I received my Archos 705 in early January and have been pleased with it from the start. I purchased my unit from Circuit City online and, based on the many reviews I've read of Archos customer service, purchased a 2 year replacement warranty as well
The other reviews here do a good job of describing the capabilities/functions of the Archos 705 so this review is based more on why I find this device so useful. Whenever I go on a trip I often find that my standard portable media player isn't enough
Good product, except they make you pay for all the add-ons that where free on the 704 like the internet browser.
The following review was written by my 13 yr old son, B. The Archos 705 is a great product. I was about to get the 704 when I saw that this was cheaper. A lot of people say it's pretty neat when they see me with it. However, before buying it you may
I have other Archos products and I am a stong advocate for these. I have been disappointed in two factors with the 705 WiFi. It has become a little less than very portable. It was very easy to carry around my 405 Archos but this Archos can not be place
I've had my Archos 705 for over a month now and love it. I also like the big screen (others may not). I have the 80 gb and have already run out of space so if you like recording movies get the 160 GB. Now I don't have to boot up my laptop ever
This is a great device. This can play almost any type of media file including AVI, MP3 WMA and many others if you pay archos for them. I however haven't bought extra decoders and plug-ins from them yet, because it can get really expensive. It does

The Archos 705WiFi is all that it is touted to be. Video and Music (audio) capacity and capability is perfect. Screen size in portable situations (airplanes, beach, etc.) is ideal. However, I had to download two plug-ins from Archos to run various vide
I like my Archos, but I don't like the terribad battery life. I love the storage capacity of this beast - I don't like the mediocre volume it puts out. The touchscreen IS easy enough to use with your fingers (despite what a few others have sai
I have had the Archos 705 for 6 months now and I love the compatibility with my different media files - easy to load with movies and music. Remember that you have to buy add-on software packages on the Archos side after you buy the player to use the brows
I was very excited when the product arrived in the mail. I was looking for a reasonably priced media player so that I could watch my favorite shows on the go or on my couch. One of the main reasons for buying this player is that it was compatible with Ama
I would recomend the Archos but the customer service lacks in every sense,If you call the cust/service no one will pick up!(I tried 3 times for more than half an hour each time)The e-mail response is a little better,it only took 6 days to get a response o
Ok, product wise this blows away the iPod Touch, simply because the iTouch has almost no storage. I problem with this product is that you will need to purchase an additional $70 worth of software 'plug-ins' from Archos to do all the advertised
Archos 705 is an over grown PMP which no longer fits in Portable Multi-Media Player category. It's rather bulky, clumsy, and heavy to transport/enjoy in casual manner. Just like any gadgets it has its very own limits and MANY glitches. It does crash
