Archos Gmini 104 review (pink)

So is the Gmini 104 a total wash? No. It's certainly no slouch when it comes to sound quality, even pumping out rich and clear tunes through the included earbuds. Of course, swapping in our Shure E4cs certainly didn't hurt, especially when it came to bass response, which was already pretty decent. The sound-isolating 'buds also helped significantly in the volume department, which we found to be lacking through the included earphones.

All-in all, the Gmini 104 is a decent choice for first-time users looking for a cheap, simple MP3 player. But for most people, we recommend something with more up-to-date technology, such as a Creative Zen V.
