2.0 out of 5 stars not really needed, more stuff to lug around, September 4, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Archos Docking Adapter Kit for 404, 504, and 604 Series Players (Electronics)
We just bought a 504 and decided to splurge on the accessories. In hind site the only things we needed were the original unit, which comes with a perfectly acceptable USB charger, and the DOC since we wanted to hook it up to our HDTV and the DOC has both a remote and component/5.1 out. Turns out we could have scrimped a bit more and just stuck with the original charger, but we also got the docking adapter which really only adds another power supply to lug around (you can easily charge the 504 from any computer). Same goes for the CODECS, but that is another story.

It works but sits on the shelf as an orphan now, when we travel we only take the original USB cable, the AV output cable, and the travel case

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, but still charges slowly, February 6, 2007
This review is from: Archos Docking Adapter Kit for 404, 504, and 604 Series Players (Electronics)
This is handy to have at home as it allows me to keep the USB charger/docking cable that came with the archos 604 in my laptop bag for charging while I travel. I bought this kit mainly because they state that the charging time is significantly decreased. Sadly, I haven't seen much of a difference. It still takes 3+ hours to charge a fully depleted battery. There also isn't a stand, so you still end up laying the charge and unit on its side. So, overall it works and I would buy it again, but don't expect it to be a quickcharger or anything. You'll only see a small difference in overall charge time. If you travel frequently though, it's nice not to have to worry about forgetting the USB cable at home and leaving it in your laptop bag.

4.0 out of 5 stars best value for adapter for 504, March 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Archos Docking Adapter Kit for 404, 504, and 604 Series Players (Electronics)
There are three great reasons to buy this for the 504

1. the price is much lower then the other 2 versions.
2. you need a charger for the 504 and the usb charging is slow and inconvenion.
3. I want to use the standard usb cables and not worry about where i put that special Archos usb cable.

I would have given it 5 star if the adapter can act as a stand also. Also it looks like you have to be careful with the connector, it may break.
