Hi, sorry if there's a dedicated thread for this. I just wanna ask Head-Fi's opinion on the best cans(portable or not) at this price range. Would prefer something with great isolation. I read a lot of reviews, but am not accustomed to terminologies, and they don't seem to translate well. Musical...

Cowon J3 is a very popular media player, i saw people rave about its SQ, but i am very disappointed, so i want to seek your opinion on J3 SQ, does it meet your expectation?

Hi there, it's been a while!   I own a cowon J3 with which i am really satisfied, i recently broke my monster turbines, could have repaired the cable but wanted to try something new, so went for the pl 30 as best bang for the buck for running sessions and dba 02 for mobility usage (subway...

I recently purchased a j3 player and was curious if FLAC files on a DPA drains more battery than mp3 files in 320kbs or 128kbs? If so, what is the reason why FLAC drains more battery life?

I'm about to purchase a new Cowon J3 as I've heard so many great things about it and Cowon in general. Now I'm just curious about the perfect pair of earbuds to go with it. I hear that the Sennheiser CX500 are great and I see that Amazon is selling them for $35 (down from $120!), but I know...

This last weekend I had the pleasure of going to RMAF with a friend of mine. I went to Ray Samuels' table, and started listening to some of his portable amps. He asked me if I was using the HO or and LO, and I told him the HO--Then he told me not to waste my time buying a portable amp because...

Well, there's a site that sells the new Cowon X7s and I and a few others on the X7 thread would like some feedback on this site before we venture into shopping from there...   Does anybody know this site:     They provide 2 addresses:   EXPORT PRIVE LTD. 11th Floor, AXA Centre...

I know the cowon has no line-out.  What is the lineout used for?  Isn't the headphone jack a line out?  Please excuse my newb questions. Thanks.

Ok guys I have been searching for quite a while now and I still don’t know what portable amp to get… First who makes the best portable amps (the general consensus); it seems that Ibasso makes some quality equipment and is on top of the game. Which brings me to my next question is the iBasso...

i just got my cowon j3 today!!   i have some questions about the eq settings. when i was using my s9 before it broke i always set the eq to Hip-Pop personally, i like bass. (most songs i listen to are rap, and some j-pop) however, the negative part about Hip-pop is that the soundstage...

Well i was sure i was going to buy a cowon j3. I searched all similar pmps and had my mine decided. But thne i bumped into Samsung M1 and i compared their specs. I noticed that M1 is actually  smaller than j3 (98.9 x 54.2 x 9.9 mm) vs (106.5 x 56 x 9.9 mm). It seams its build quality is not...

Ok so I have the Samsung P3 for more than a year and here are my comments: -Great quality sound when using EQ -Tiny screen for touch ending up 3 over 4 times with unwanted selection -Great BT to cell phone connection -Screen is NOT usable outdoor at all in sunny days -Fonts could be...

I'm looking for good sound quality and I have narrowed it down to Cowon i9 and D2+. These have buttons to operate it in the dark right. Which you think would be a better choice and why ?

Need a new DAP with good video playback options and decent SQ for music.  I think I have narrowed it to these 3 but cant seem to break the tie.  Here are my thoughts.  Maybe someone can add something I have missed   all players have a nice screen and about the same storage capacity.   ...

Hey guys..   I know this is a quiet .. stupid thread but I am quiet new to mobile sources.. I need to get a good overview..   So I would love to know which players are "omg-damn-nice" and which are the "bah-dat-sux" =) So could anyone please order the following players by sound...

Hi, I was wondering if the j3 is as buggy on PC as it is on MAC OS X.   I normally use my macbook but if I do get the j3, I'll be using my old PC desktop (WIN XP) to do all the j3 related stuff. I'll be transferring the music files over a USB drive from my macbook to pc then to the j3.  ...

I own a headstage arrow 2g+re0/re1/ath-es10 Im looking for a new portable source I am very interested in the j3 or new touch But my main concern is SQ.

Hi to all the members of this forum.I would like to know your opinion about wich DAP is better. Right know I have an Ipod Classic 120 gb 6th Generation with my favorite music with Apple Looseless, but I want to know if this ipod with a fiio e7 and a LOD would beat a Cowon J3  in sound quality...

So, I currently have a um3x and a Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ which unfortunately is dying(screen fails sometimes).   Some players that got my attention:   Cowon J3: would've been perfect, if not for the bass roll-off with low ohms IEMs, as I plan on getting an SM3    S:FLO 2 + AMP: I've...
