Reviews

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Cowon O2 (32GB)

    The O2 is a solid player, offering impressive video and sound quality and support for a massive list of filetypes.

  • Archos 5

    If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.

  • Cowon iAudio A3 (60GB)

    With its unrivalled screen and codec support, its direct recording capabilities and its ability to playback DVD video files without transcoding, Cowon's A3 is a well-priced behemoth for portable video lovers.

  • Archos 705 Wi-Fi

    The Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality.

  • Archos 405

    Though it lacks the features of the Archos 605, the 405 maintains the company's reputation for making high-quality portable video and music players.

  • Archos 605

    The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.

  • Archos 604 (30GB)

    The do-it-all Archos 604 with its improved design is slightly marred by mediocre audio performance. It's an amazing PVP, but not a great audio player.
