my main priority is sound quality + battery life.   and i want a very smooth interface...not laggy.     which one is better?     what advantage does Android offer on D3?...i already have an android phone..so not tempted by Games n Apps.

Hi all, I'm relatively new here, but I'm finding this site to be a great resource for headphones and such. I only recently "graduated" to a decent set of headphones, a pair of Grado SR80i (I'm a poor grad student on a budget...) and my old Creative Zen X-Fi player just doesn't have the output to...

I want to talk about the cowon earbuds that come stock with their relatively new players. I just bought a new J3 a few days ago and i am totally amazed and impressed by how these earbuds sound..especially with the maestro sound preset.  by the way..I also got a new pair of yuin PK2 earbuds...

Hello Everyone,   I really don't know anything about portable media players, and I tried searching for this, but I come up with all sorts of results.   I'm looking for a media player to play music and video.  No need for apps and stuff like that.  - Will be used in a car.  - Require...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a new DAP. I have a 160gb ipod classic right now, I also have alot of lossless files. My ipod won't play them, which I dislike because I listen to most of my music through my ipod. I looked into rockbox, and it seems that it won't run on my ipod due to firmware...

Hi guys, what is a good high quality mp3/mp4 (music/video) player and if the quality is already good, would it then need an amp to sound great?   Suppose I pair it with either UM3X (i own) or GR10 (i might buy)   I heard Cowon is a good brand?    Also if this has been covered many...

Hi guys, I could not find any other thread were this would fit in:                   With Ipod Touch side by side:         As you can see, this thing is big, but same goes for the sound. I have had a couple of Cowon and iRiver playes and...

Ever feel foolish after a gear purchase? I finally got a Cowon D2+. (I already had an iPod Touch 64GB version.) I opened the shipping carton from Amazon today, then the D2+ box itself. I saw what I thought was the top of an AC adapter, but it was the D2 itself. So, my first impression - small...

Is it just me or has the MP3 market at this year's show been extremely quiet?  In fact the only MP3 that I have seen any information on yet is the new Samsung.  And it got a few initial impression beatings.    Has anyone seen or heard of any new MP3 players to hit the market this year that's...

If hooking up headphones up to $250 to an iPhone, iPod Classic, iPod Touch or iPad, which device will yield the best sound quality? I presume the quality of 3.5mm headphone jacks is not similar throughout the various i-devices.   Any insight would be appreciated.

I've just joined this forum and needed some advice.   I recently received some Monster Jamz for my birthday, and although the quality seems fine and they will need burn time, I'm not sure that my current mp3 player is powerful enough for them. At present I'm using a Cowon iaudio 9 16gb with...

I bought a pair of TF10s during the Amazon deal & a Cowon E2 yesterday.  The E2 has power output of 12mw + 12mw - 16ohms for headphones.  I really don't understand the relationship between impedance, ohms and power so I ask all of you who do, will the little player have any trouble driving the...

I have my library ripped right now at 192kbps and I'm planning on upgrading to either 320kbps, vbr, or lossless (haven't decided on the format yet).  my 16gb ipod touch was fine before but I don't think it would fit my stuff if I upgrade to a higher quality rip, so I'm planning on buying a new...

Hi, i've had an iPod nano 5th gen and I sick of the lack of custom eq. I am looking for the Cowon Iaudio 7, but i can't find it anywhere. Help?

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 own a Sony NWZ-A816 for some time and was looking for some new choices since 4GB doesn't cut anymore. So since I listen flac's exclusively, I narrowed my choices between iAudio 9 and new Sansa Fuze+. Bought the Cowon anyways, and it's a disappointment.   pros and cons:   + Better...

just bought it and now transferring songs onto it...will give impressions later on...   rig use:- Cowon iaudio 9 + Pico amp/DAC + Shure SE535.    

I am waiting on a competitor to the ipod touch and its killing me. With the base price and the need for an amp with bass boost, its not cost effective. The cowon players are the closest thing but only for music and video files. for games and apps I am waiting for an alternative and really want...

They're selling out on Cowon's Korean Website at about $30 USD. Some reports indicate they could be new low priced high SQ contenders. http://iaudiophile.net/ Given Cowon's reputation for building great sounding players and my experience with their products, I'm very interested in these IEs...

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...

Yesterday, the Ipod classic that i bought in October of 2009 was replaced at an Apple Store free of charge, since I had 20 days left on a free one-year warranty. This Ipod sounds completely different than the one I bought last year. For starters, it has a considerably higher max volume; I don't...

I am looking for a Cowon with great sq. I really like the look, minimal function, and small capacity of the iaudio E2. Price is not an issue but sound quality is. Does the iaudio 9 have much better sq than the E2? Are there other Cowons with better sq than the iaudio 9? I am using...

Most Cowon - fans may already know that there will be a D3 in future, but nobody know when it will be out or any detail about it. While surfing through the internet I found this:  ...
