Cowon iAUDIO 7 16Gb

I realize this is ancient news in 2014 but I recently rediscovered my iAudio7 and am loving it.  It sounds remarkably good for a "fun"-signatured DAP and holy mackerel, the battery life is incredible.  50 hours?  60?  I don't know but it's great.
 
The secret, obviously, is the super small and low-res screen.  But you know what?  Fine by me.  It's perfectly adequate and once you get used to the counterintuitive UI, it's pretty easy to manage.  In a world with ever-evolving tech, this is the rare case of "they don't make 'em like they used to."

 If you need music player only - this one is what you need

Great sound, especially with good headphones. I have Shure and Eyymotic for different kinds of music.  I strongly recommeng using FLAC with this player, it provides really great sound quality in this case.
 
 

Not here to write a long review. Just want to say this is a GREAT small media player the only downside being a terrible UI.
