Archos Gmini XS200 review

 

CNET takes a look at the world's smallest 20GB MP3 player (retailing for $249), the Archos Gmini XS200, and finds that while it has good sound and may be have a lot of storage capacity for its size, it has a weak interface and design, average battery...

Gmini XS 200 512MB Mp3 Player

 

After toying with color MP3 players, I found that turning on the Archos Gmini's monochrome display was like watching Saturday morning cartoons on a black-and-white television. Then again, the sleek battleship-gray Gmini XS200 is about one-third...

If you're economical and you care more about how Green Day or the Moody Blues sound than about how their song titles look on a color display, the Archos Gmini XS200 will satisfy your aural fixations

Archos Gmini XS200

 

This is a fine, affordable digital audio player with minimal features but giant-killing performance.

Small. Lightweight. Good overall performance.

Some EQ settings unusable. No belt clip or pouch. No lossless compression.

Performance

 

Archos Gmini 120 (20GB)

Excellent sound quality; records directly to MP3 via the line-in jack, the S/PDIF port, or the built-in microphone; CompactFlash slot for photos from digital cameras; on-the-fly and standard playlists; healthy battery life.

Heavy and bulky; voice recording and photo-wallet functionality require downloaded plug-ins; no built-in radio; no photo display; so-so Mac support.

This MP3 player is heavy on features, but it's also just plain heavy.

Archos Gmini XS200: Accessories The XS200 comes in a tightly-sealed plastic package. There's nothing too interesting about the whole accessory set, unfortunately. Just your average-day stuff, such as some cheap earbuds (don't use those, please), USB-cable

The Archos XS200 subjects us DAP-freaks to some serious considerations. Whereas their AV420 had so much to offer that it made my head spin, the XS200 keeps things so straightforward, clean and simple that it tips of both ends of the balance on more...

Archos Gmini XS 200: More Than Just Another Audio Player?

 

Chic, small and light with gigs and gigs of space for music files: that's how consumers want their hard-drive based audio players. Archos Gmini XS 200 packs 20 GB of capacity into a featherweight and tiny form factor.

Archos Gmini XS200 MP3 player

 

Archos Gmini XS200 is one of the smallest MP3 music players equipped with a hard disk, but still, you can load a large music CD collection on the device. It comes with a 20GB hard disk that can store about 10000 songs, but its price is at the same...

Value for money: Archos Gmini XS200 is excellent value for money, and we'd like to go as far as calling it a bargain.

Archos Gmini XS 200 - MP3 Player

 

Archos has created a device that's the size of an iPod Mini, but with the capacity of a full size iPod. But can the Gmini XS 200 convince buyers that Apples are not the only fruit?

It’s impossible not to like the Archos Gmini XS 200. Despite it’s slightly clumsy navigation and lack of carry case and docking cradle, this is a fantastic little digital audio player at a truly amazing price. For the cost of a 4GB Apple iPod Mini, you...
