I've been in possession of Cowon J3 for about 9 years.
Unfortunately, the MP3 had an accident today where its glass screen cracked (still entirely functional though) and due to this I've been looking around to purchase a new MP3 with a budget of around $200.
After searching a bit from the Cowon line, next to getting a new Cowon J3 it appears the Z2 might best fit my needs. Many reviews however points the Z2 to be a mediocre unit.
With Cowon J3, I've barely touched JetEffect or EQ since after tinkering I've personally much more preferred to enjoy the sound without any effects on. I've also used this unit just for music despite having ability to play some flash games and watch video, which to be honest the J3 wasn't really good for. I'll also be pairing the unit with FLC8S.
Below are two criterias that must be met.
- Support at least Flac/Ogg/Wav
- Large storage (60+GB) or upgradeable storage (e.g. via MicroSD cards)
Although not a must, I would prefer if the following features were available.
- Touchscreen
- OLED screen
- Long battery life
