Quote: I've been using my PC to charge my J3.  On the 16th I continued to listen to my J3 till it ran out of juice - I later charged it back to full over the night through my PC.  Since then, with some regular use, I haven't seen the meter drop below 100% yet - the J3 seems to be holding...

Quote: I have the SA6 which do seem to isolate more.  I seem to be getting better isolation with the M5s now.  Sometimes I worry they're going way too far into the canal and that I'm doing damage to my ear drums.  I plan on buying the Shure olives and trying them out.  I'll be sure to...

Quote: I sure hope that's the case with my J3   Quote:   The Future Sonic Atrio M5 (MG7) IEMs are what I use.  I've already opened a ticket with Cowon American support...I have yet to hear anything back from them.  I sure hope that this is just from the initial usage of the...

Quote: Well, I guess what I should be asking is this...just how much isolation should I be expecting?  I'll continue to prod around for other tips to use on the M5s.  I'll run a search for your thread too.  So far I've been using the foam tips with M5s and I believe my ears are adjusting...

Quote: I've had my J3 for about 7 days now.  Mine arrived on the 10th of February.

So last night my J3 ran out of power and so I let it fully charge over night.  This morning I woke to find that the battery had been fully charged.  I turned it on and for a good 15 minutes I was customizing the layout of all 3 view modes with the screen brightness at 3.  I then put it to sleep...

Quote: Unfortunately I don't.  I'll definitely look into using different tips for the M5s though.  Thanks for the suggestion

I've tried the small and large foams as well as the small, medium and large silicon tips. :(  Maybe I need different tips all together (if aftermarket is what you meant)?  I don't know if there's a "universally correct" way to insert them into the ear.  I've really ever owned one pair of IEMs...

I just recently purchased a Cowon J3 and to go with it I bought some new earphones - the Atrio M5 (MG7) earphones which just arrived today.  I have some mixed feelings thus far over the earphones.  I was hoping they would provide more isolation than they currently do.  I've tried both the...

Thanks for the responses everyone. It's appreciated!

I was hoping to get some opinions before the deal on ecost with the M5 ends.  Let me ask this if I may...which of the two is considered the better deal dollar per dollar?  Are the Atrio M5s worth the extra $40 over the FX500?  From what I've read...they're both comparable when it comes to...

I was hoping to maybe get some opinions.  I'm planning on buying a Cowon J3 DAP here shortly along with some new earphones.  I've read up and have been trying to decide on either the Atrio M5 (MG7) or the JVC Victor HP-FX500 earphones, but I'm on the fence.   If it helps, I listen to Nu Jazz...

This might be a silly question but....  Does the J3 have an A-B Repeat function?  Thanks!

I've had mine for about two months now; haven't encountered any problems yet.
