Review of Archos Gmini XS 202 20 GB

So comfy, you won't want to take them off!

Advantages: Incredibly comfortable, feels like you're not wearing them
Disadvantages: Impractical for public use | Can crush ears after extreme prolonged use

...'s only one problem I've experienced with the HD 202's. After a couple of hours of wearing them, I will take them off and have some sharp, jabbing pains in my ears for maybe one/two minutes. However, it is only a minor fault, and I'm sure it happens to alot of people. These headphones have lasted me for a year so far, and so no sign whatsoever of giving up, so, if you're a music lover like me, and want to invest in a decent pair of headphones, then look no further than the HD 202's!...

Review of Sennheiser HD202

High quality sound at a bargain price

Advantages: Excellent sound, light, comfortable, cheap
Disadvantages: In-ear design may take some getting used to

...The Manufacturer Sennheiser is a company that has been specialising in the manufacture of headphones and microphones for over 50 years. They produce a large number of different models of headphone to suit various purposes from reasonably priced phones for portable players through to high-end models for hi-fi buffs and sound engineers. Construction & Design I have been using these in-ear headphones every day for almost a year now, plugged into my Archos XS202S MP3 player. This is my third pair of Sennheiser headphones (the others are full-size, audiophile quality phones that I use with my hi-fi and computer) so they are a manufacturer I know and trust to come up with a high quality product. Although they are very light, they are clearly well-made and durable, showing no signs of wear or deterioration after nearly a year of daily use...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

Music's important - and Archie knows it.

Advantages: Many easy to use options, small with large capacity, memory stick tendencies.
Disadvantages: Monochrome screen, possible weak screen, rubbishy headphones come with it.

...the joystick) and I am yet to decided if this an advantage or not. My favourite thing about this player is that it acts like a memory stick. Music (and other files) can be transferred across from computer to player and back again, unlike some other mp3 players. This uses a drag-and-drop method. I also like how the names and positions of songs can be adjusted on the player itself by going to the 'Browser' option. However, I have found the screen to be quite weak and sensitive. I am on my second Archos Gmini XS 202s because the screen bled on my first one, and I do not know why. Possibly to do with excessive pressure or heat. Nevertheless, my second one has been fine. I also occasionally find the bright blue 'On' light really irritating! But this can be solved with a well-placed thumb. My only other complaint is that the joystick is...

Review of Archos Gmini XS 202 20 GB

No Frills MP3 Player

Advantages: Great sound, small, tough, stores loads of music
Disadvantages: Monochrome screen, no album art or photos, few accessories

...people think it is lacking in style but I don?t agree. Sound Quality I have listened to iPods and other types of MP3 players and the sound from all of them is frankly very similar to me. The sound quality of the XS202S is up there with the best of them ? solid, tight bass, sweet treble and clear midrange. The stereo separation is excellent too. It amazes me that such superb sound can come from such a tiny object. What does affect the sound quality to a great extent, however, is the choice of headphones you use? Headphones The Archos comes supplied with a set of earbud-type headphones in a silver and black finish with a long cable and standard 3.5mm jack plug to connect to the player. The phones supplied with all portable music players tend to be of the cheap and nasty variety and the Archos is no exception to this. They produce...

The Toughest Challenge In F1

Advantages: A great challnge for the drivers with a prestigious prize for the winner.
Disadvantages: Cramped, overtaking is non-existent, can be a terminally dull race.

...specified by the regulations. Last year it took David Coulthard 1hr49m28.213s to claim victory. Lap times will have dropped for 2001, however, as they have done everywhere. Already Mika Hakkinen's Thursday practice lap of 1m19.853s is a mere 0.4s from Schumacher's 2000 pole time of 1m19.475s. Expect the pole position time to be reduced by at least one second to around 1m18.2s. Hakkinen's 2000 race fastest lap of 1m21.571s will probably some down to around 1m20.2s. Issues At Monaco The teams are still in a frenzy over traction control, reintroduced two races ago having been banned at the start of 1994. In Austria, four drivers including both Jordans remained stranded on the line. There are fears that if this occurs in the tight confines of Monaco the consequences could be dire. Many teams are unsure as to whether or not they should run...
