...behind this is to prevent Archos from including high priced earphones with the unit then pushing the price up. While some would be happy with a mid-decent pair with the unit, people would much rather buy their own expensive pairs. This way it ives the customer the option of a better pair without ramming a mid-ranged pair down the consumers' throats. The supplied earphones are more than likely for testing purposes only anyway.

Review of Archos 504 160GB

However, after using it very frequently, it is now the one gadget that I do not travel without. It is easy to transfer files on to it & has a decent battery life in comparison to a lot of other products, I can use mine for a good 4 hours ...
...are both great, and best of all it fits into my hand bag. I guess my only criticism would be that I needed to buy the additional leather carrying case for it that doubles as a stand, thought it does come with its own respectable carry case. I have also since bought the DVR station for it. ...
