Archos 5 I purchased an archos 5 a while back, and had not used long before it started having problems downloading or playing anything, so I called customer service and was instructed to ship it back for service as it was still under warranty. After about almost 2 months and a lot of back and forth they shipped it back by UPS and was being asked to pay over $100 dollars in some BS Fee by UPS which I rejected and had Archos ship it back to me without UPS asking for this rediculous fee. I received about 2 weeks later, but it was not the one I sent in for service but a used one with scratches and not surprising but it was also faulty. I managed to do some fancy footwork and managed to return it to the store I purchased it at, and never bothered again with an archos product. Bad products and even worst customer service. Using a different email so I am not bothered by Archos.

i bought an MP3 player( vision) 4years… i bought an MP3 player( vision) 4years ago used it 10 times was dubious strait away of the touch pad (anything touch wont last ie washing machines better to always have manual) and only 1 button to turn off/on and on nothing more,it worked but then i put it away and decided to start filming while driving again got it out and it doesnt work it charges but nothing moves on the touch pad, china makes crap products you know they can state when buying stuff from Australia that some products arent good so they wont buy from us yet they sell you the same thing, they got filthy rich out of making cheap products that dont last or even work as they dont even test them any more,so its a lucky dip.all they have ever done is copy they do not have an original thought in their heads. i still have my aunts old hair dryer made in japan from 50 years ago and it still works the world need to force their politicians to stop making them rich while we are constantly putting our hands back into our pockets for things that do not last/work,a tv 40 years ago lasted 50 years ever since they were taken to china they last anywhere from not working at all to 5 years max. but if its 5 years you likely paid 5000 for the product THIS NEEDS TO STOP.this is one of many i have bought and everyone knows it too,stop buying goods from china write to your local representatives to force the government to force china to make better items/parts or get india to do it instead because we all know our own government wont bring back our jobs they are traitors too.

A very dishonest company A very dishonest company! Minus 5 stars would not rate them bad enough. Had the same problem as the vast majority on here, phone was under warranty, developed fault, Archos asked us to post back to them, they signed for it and then after saying it would be replaced, stopped all communication with us! Dishonest thieves is a very accurate description of this company, they not only stole my phone they got me to pay the postage for them to do this!

Only scored 1 star as 0 stars is not an option Only scored 1 star as 0 stars is not an option. I purchased a Sense 50x on the 7th November from the Archos web store . It arrived a couple of days later :-). On using the phone I discovered that the headphone jack was not standard, being 17mm in length rather than 15mm. Therefore I could only use the supplied bud type headphones. I like my music and have bose quietcomfort so I thought it would easy to get an adapter - after scouring the web I was no further forward. :-( I contacted Archos, (cordonweb) technical support and they weren't interested. They just stated that they could guarantee compatibility with third party suppliers. I even tried headphone from another Archos product and they didn't work. Archos agreed for me to return the phone which I did on the 17th November - costing me £15 tracked postage. Now I have no phone and am £265+ down! I contacted the last week and they assured me a manager would contact me.... Surprisingly they didn't. I've just spoken to a customer 'service' (not service) representative who told me I can't have a refund as they will be sending me a replacement, although they can't tell me when I'll recieve it. If I want a refund I'll have to recieve the replacement and send it back...for another £15..... Shocking service....don't go near Archos unless you like being let down. P.s I found the 50x is made by a company in a China who I believe also make the Blackview BV7000 which looks exactly the same (slightly different tech spec) and is a lot cheaper.... Think it still has the same headphone issue though but what you save would cover the return postage! Or would go towards some bluetooth headphones.

Sent a faulty replacement product - not replacing it because it's no longer warranted! Got the ARCHOS 80 XS - 8 GB in Jan 2013 for my partner as a present. To cut the story short, hardly used it, started using it more in October 2013, difficulty in charging it, turned out the usb port on the tablet was faulty so sent it back for a replacement. Sent it back at the end of Nov and didn't get a new one until Jan 2014. Conveniently after my warranty period. The new tablet got a dot on the screen and my partner noticed very light scratch marks on the back. They wanted pictures, I provided them with it and not heard anything for 10 days. Just emailed them this morning asking for an update, got a reply in French so had to use google translate - 'The device for which you are requesting information is no longer under warranty / marketed by ARCHOS.' I got that reply straight away and replied back demanding an answer - Guess What??? No reply. I would not bother to get an ARCHOS tablet but if you do make sure you use your credit card. I now have to try using Section 75. Basically, poor customer service and product.
