Cowon or Sony
I just wanted to share my experience that started from "cowon or sony" I had a Cowon J3 which was stolen a couple of months ago, in the search of replacing it I bought a Sony Walkman A-865 which I sent back, so after that I went for a Cowon Z2 (great sound not that great android device) so...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
Quote: Actually the idea of using the Fiio E5 was not for the cowon Z2 (which by the way, was sent back) but for a Samsung Galaxy Gio which would increase its battery life. when using Power-amp at almost maximum volume (needed to drive properly my ATH-m50) the battery lasts just like...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
Quote: I didn't think about it... Yes I suppose, that would increase the battery life. I will have a look at that Fiio E5. Cheaper solution for the moment. Thanks for that- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
Not better luck with the Z2. The sound and the video are just great, I would say the sound for my taste that is better than the sony A-865, the video way superior since is capable of 1080p, I only watched 720p movies though. The battery life also better than the Sony Walkman, no much but...- mauricio nz

Review by 'mauricio nz' on item 'COWON J3 32 GB Portable Media Player (Black)'
My best Pmp so far. I have tried sony's, sans'a, and cowon j3 is the best so far. Unfortunately I lost it, and now it is discontinued so I have been trying to replace it, I bought a Sony Walkman A 865 which was sent back due to the poor battery and poor Eq, after that I bought a Cowon Z2...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
That is correct, I know is just 22hrs, the sony A865 has also around the same battery life "in theory" perhaps for the cold weather here, but I never passed 9 - 10 hrs with Sony. I listened mainly 320kbs and some wav albums, battery life is important but I can live with 20 hrs. cheers...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
I just came to this thread looking for some orientation between cowon and sony; well since I had a cowon J3, I wanted to try the sony nwz a865 and kind of wait for some reviews of the Sony F series in order to get it in the near future. So I bought the Sony NWZ A865 and After a week of...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
Quote: Have a look at the amazon link (stated above), pretty much for the same money of Sony F 16Gb you could get the Sony F 32Gb (US$270). I would go for that sony, but I already bought the A version; If the money was not an issue I would get the F series. I dont own the z2 but if...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
I was about to get the F series 16gb, but i believe I could not longer wait more time without having a proper pmp, so I bought the Sony A865 it was cheaper and I like the buttons on the side, another reason since Sony does not support flac files in the A series I did not find much point in...- mauricio nz

Cowon or Sony
Hi guys.. I just got here since I am also looking for the same answer, cowon or sony? I have owned Sony Walkman E, S series then Sansa Fuze (rockboxed) and lately a Cowon J3 which got stolen some weeks ago; so I am in need of a new pmp.
