My X5L stopped turning on a month ago. Cowon's technical service is about 200km from my town. I visited them a few days ago. I was told the mainboard is of no use. They could send it to Korea, but this will probably exceed the player' value. Will it or not, I don't want to wait another 2 months...

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...

Is said headphone jack very strong? I keep accidentally dropping my PMP through various ways and it winds up dangling from my Earphone cable and i'm worried that's screwing up my headphone jack.

Hi All,   Here is an interesting thing I came across. I was trying to decide a new MP3 player as my old iPod(classic 5th generation) just died. I consider sound quality is most important part of an mp3 player as I have a smartphone for everything else. After reading a lot of reviews i had...

Hi there, i am looking for a portable sound device with some futures required. I need it to have: 1. Great sound quality, i don't care what kind of sound codek it'll play ( mp3? mp4? flac? ) 2. Bluetooth conection for file transfer ex. from a mobile phone, 3. File manager so i can delete...

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...

Hello everyone.   I'm considering acquiring a Cowon iAudio 7 because of its power, FLAC format, battery and size but since its so hard to get one I thought to get Sansa Clip +. I would use RE0 earphones and probably an E3 or E5 amplifier, what do you think about it? I like Clip+ because its...

Hey Everyone Currently I own the JH5's and a Cowon D2 portable DAP. I am not sure what is my best investment for my next purchase, I wanted to collect a few opinions. Options: -Amp/DAC -Upgrade Cable -New Source -Save For Better Headphone Let me know what you guys think. Thanks~

I use a Cowon S9 + Soundmagic PL50 and for the most part love the sound combination. Unfortunately i do find that this combination doesnt always have enough bass or warmth for certain types of music. Would adding an amp add a bit of warmth back into the mix? The E5 or E7 sounds as if it...

I'm asking for any recommendations anybody would give for portable mp3 players. I've read that the Clip+ has great sound, but nothing about anything else. The Sony E34x and S54x players also came to mind, as it's something I'm looking for. So yeah, I'm looking to get a rather small player that...

hi, how's the V5HD's sound quality? it's not any lower than J3 is it?

I'm going to move into a little room next year (damn budget accommodation) and I don't want my music playlist to be limited to my 16gb J3. My computer with an Asus xonar essence STX is sort of an option but I think the computer (the case is an antec 900 by the way) will take up valuable...

Sorry if this at the wrong forums! Need some of your brain power from you guys!   Has been a lurker for the past 6mth and i learned quite alot from here! I just acquired a TF10! Which I am enjoying now! However, the sources I am using is prevent my TF10 to unleash to its fullest...

Edit: Note that as of 9/11, the notice has been removed and the J3 is for sale again.   The following notice currently appears on the Amazon product page for the 32GB J3:   Quote:   The most recent customer review was posted yesterday by someone who claims they received 3...

I'm not the first, but I might be the last person to drop their H320 down the toilet. It was in my pocket and slipped out when I stood up, plunging into the toilet and taking a full (not-very-clean) bath. I disassembled it, dabbed it with a paper towel, and let it dry out completely for 24...

Hi everybody! After doing research for about a week i decided for the D2+ 16 + 32 gb as my new player because of (if I summarize correctly...) -Audio quality -sd-slot -flac -capacity -tweakability..... Being a proud owner of a new set of IE 8's I am a little concerned about hissing...

I planning to upgrade from my old UE Superfi 3, and now I see http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/ have good deals on Shure SE310 and most interesting Shure SE420. The price are 89 and 126£.  Also the older model of UE Superfi 5 Pro are interesting.   As source I have Cowon D2 and only...

I've been a lurker here for a while. This is my first post. (Great site by the way!) After comparing notes and reviews I am about to buy the following: Cowan D2+ : I want FLAC, and prefer to have my portable folder structure match my PC. Either RSA Mustang P-51 or Corda 3Move. Shure...

Hi   after reading cowon 's instruction, it states that listening at 85db or below is ok. However, i don't know how i can know that which db level i am using. Does any owners of the J3 know how to do that?   thank you

Hi, Does Cowon i9 support "3.5 mm balanced Headphone Plug (TRRS)" ? I mean, can i connect any balanced headphone plug directly to i9 without using any convertor/jack adaptor ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector Regards. . .

OK - am new here but been lurking in the corners for a while looking for info on players and cans. I wanted a top notch player, never having owned the ubiquitous i*od or any other mp3 player but an MP10 some years back. I bought the 16g Cowon i9 paired with Denon ACH750's for portability. Wow -...

I'm planning on buying a Cowon S9 today and I read that it is a little warm, so I that means I should get something cold. I was going to get the Thinksound Rain, but I hear they are also warm. Overall I just want a good pair of IEMs, bellow $100.   I've seen the following: Altec Lansing...

Hi   I have just got my brand new cowon J3 today. However, I am pretty surprised at realizing that i can't play the player during charging either through USB with laptop or USB with power adapter.   I search around the internet and know that it is quite common for player not being able...

Apologies for the rather strange (and possibly off-topic) thread title, but please bear with me.   Up until now I've used my iPhone 3G as my portable source. However now that my contract with my provider has run out, its upgrade time!   Now I've given myself these 3 possible options:  ...

Hi, I'm going to be getting a Cowon S9. So far I've been using a Creative MuVo with an Shure E2C. Can't say that I was impressed with the E2C SQ (felt it was flat and dry) but it provided great Noise Isolation. But unfortunately its cable cracked and it doesn't work anymore. I'm looking for...
