Hi all,
 
I've had my j3 for about 5 days, I like it, but I'm finding it a bit "shrilly" sounding, anyone else getting this impression? I'm listening on se530s...I've spent a TON of time fussing w/ the eq....and everyone still sounds like sylvester the cat ... ok, its not that bad, not enough for me to return the player but it bothers, I never had an issue like this with any of my zunes' or creative players
 
 
Any se530/535 owners have this problem? what eq / BBE setting are u using?

Ringke case is nice, but since my Arrow arrived, I stopped using it.  I FINALLY found a decent case that fits the two with my Whiplash mini. 

what case do you use now?

An Acme Sleek video case.  It's for a Flip video thingamabob, but it perfectly fits the J3/Arrow and a little microfiber cloth for screen cleaning.  It's got a double zip and side supports so it doesn't fully open, making it hard for the player to fall out, and you can zip it fully and still have your headphone cable out.  It's super low-profile, no wasted space or size, and has hard(ish) sides, so it's the next best thing to no case at all, and still fits in your pocket.  Best Buy only carries the white one, unfortunately, but they make it in other designs.

one feature on j3 is useful to me, it can lock touch screen, then changing volume or changing the tracks won't turn on the screen, i don't think i see other dap has this feature.

The Sony X had this feature before the J3 came out.

I will always be grateful to this amazing community for upgrading my listening to music experience by 1000%
 
J3 + RE-252/262 = ftw.
 
I can't even imagine how i lived so many years before carrying around my discman+cd case while listening from crappy 10$ sony buds.
 
Nothing beats evolving , even in something not so 'wow' as the way you listen to music.

So I've had the Cowon J3 with the Westone 2 earphones for a little over a month now. Overall, I'm content with my purchase. I just wish there was a convenient way to make more playlists on the fly besides the favorites list. The Headphones 3 setting seems to work best since it compensates for the W2's slightly weak bass. It kinda makes me wonder how much better more expensive IEM's sound. Maybe I'll get the W4's someday. Hopefully they won't require an amp either. 
 
I'm using the Rearth Ringke and a screen protector from Realook. They seem to be doing the job well with protecting my J3.

No, I have an SE535 and don't have that problem. Can you tell me what EQ settings you have on your J3?

Pizza, it's got really easy access, and you can open the zippers on the side where the buttons are if you want, so you can reach in and change tracks, but if you want to fiddle with the touch screen, you're SOL.

helllo everyone im considering getting a cowon j3 and want to know if it will have good synergy with the UE triple.fi 10s
 
thanks a lot

 

[johnnyarks]

Sure, np
 
   3       -1         -1          -7         -3 or -4
80hz  300hz  1.1khz  3.0khz     6.9khz
Norm  Norm   Norm    Norm       Norm
 
BBE            3
mach3bass 1
3d Sound    3  <=== More than 5ish on this setting introduces more shrillness
MP Enhan   0  <=== Enabling this produces clearer mids but shrilly highs
Reverb        0  <=== Enabling this kinda kills the shrillyness a bit but introduces unwanted echo effect for certain songs.
 
I feel like the settings above put my shrilly sound issue to a minimum, but at the lost of some clarity  in the high end of the spectrum. =(

The S9 had it before the Sony X....hmmmm. It was probably done before Cowon as well.

 

[dfkt]

Cowon had that feature since their first touch screen player, the D2.

Best case for this!
