Cowon V5 32 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this for a good 3 months now and everything seemed to be working fine. Then I took a plane to California and the touch screen does not work while up in the air. When I got back on the ground everything worked fine.

Other than that this is a great media player. However 32GB is not that much memory, I bought another 32GB memory card.

Product Description:
The Cowon V5 is a digital media player that makes sense. While it plays multiple audio formats, it plays video with up to 720p HDTV performance. The difference is...instead of squinting at a 3-inch screen, the Cowon V5 offers a 4.8" screen. It's got built-in games for even more on-the-go entertainment possibilities. A USB 2.0 port allows file transfers with a PC or Mac computer. Need more memory or want to pop in some music or video on the fly, there's an SD SDHC memory card slot for using optional cards with.

A really cool feature that goes along with this large screen is the realistic ability to use this as a text or E-book reader. The Cowon V5 is a truly wonderful portable media player that is ready to handle your entire player needs - and perhaps a little more. You can use it as a voice recorder. It even has a built-in microphone.

The V5 is small, thin, lightweight and can go anywhere. It's rechargeable battery delivers long, practical play life. Cowon makes it to be used and enjoyed.

Cowon S9 8 GB Video MP3 Player with Touchscreen (Titanium Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is so cool.It's my second Cowon MP3/Video player.The first was the rather clunky, thick, square D2.I bought it for it's highly rated audio quality.It also played video at high resolution.
This unit surpasses the D2 in all respects, (except one).
The audio quality is just as excellent.Best of any MP3 player in my opinion.
The OLED display is just incredible.Put it next to a iPod touch, and you'll see what I mean.OLED screens have no backlights, each pixel is actively lit.Blacks are deep, brights are scintillating.The refresh rate rate is also much more rapid than LCD.So fast moving video does not ghost.
The user interface is much improved over the D2 which was all touch screen.This is a touch screen, but has top buttons for several common functions.
-I just wish it had a SD card slot.That was one of the reasons I bought my D2.So I could upgrade the memory capacity with cheap SD memory cards.My S9 had 8GB, which is adequate.

Cowon S9 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Touchscreen (Titanium Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While the ipod Touch has wifi and games, its audio and video quality are mediocre. If you sincerely care about your music and videos, the Cowon S9 is superb at bringing out the best of both. Cowon's legendary sound quality is as one would expect from its latest media player, but the AMOLED screen is what made me decide to purchase this over the itouch. It is 1000x more responsive than LCD and has 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio improvement, making watching videos on this thing quite amazing. Everything is very sharp and high quality videos don't blur in movement. Best of all, there's no need to spend six or seven hours converting a 2 hour movie if it's in AVI or WMV, so it's much easier to enjoy videos. If you're more into music, the S9 supports FLAC and OGG for audiophiles, allowing you to enjoy your music the way it was meant to be listened to.

The UI is not THAT clumbsy. It's not as crystal smooth as the touch, but it's much better than a lot of touchscreens IMO. The UI takes some getting used to, but once you know all the shortcuts, you'll be handling it like a pro, easily getting to where you want to go. With a dual core 500mhz processor, it's more than capable of handling whatever you throw at it, so that's not what's causing the occasional lag, but rather some firmware bugs that will likely be resolved quickly.

Cowon loves the S9 and will be sure to improve it even further than it is now so that everyone can enjoy it. Already people are customizing the interface to how they see fit and soon programmers will fix issues and offer alternatives, so there's no reason not to buy the S9 if you're afraid of its interface being faulty.

The itouch is the jack of all trades, but the S9 is truly the ace of music and video performance. If you're looking for quality over quantity, the S9 is sure to please. If you find the lack of uselessly abundant features a turn off, then feel free to try something else.

The Best Sounding MP3 Player Ever? Thank Golden Ears The Cowon S9 is here... If you've been sleeping under a stone you may have missed our excitement about the latest player to arrive from the masters of quality - Cowon. The S9 has teased us over the last year or so with the promise of the Cowon player we always wanted but never dared hope would turn out as well as we could imagine. Well we're astounded to say it's better than we could have ever hoped for! The main points to focus on are the new BBE+ sound architecture the amazing AMOLED widescreen display full Bluetooth support and the superb new user interface. As it's the first thing that'll strike you when using the S9 let's take a look at the interface first: Zoom UI: This is a real step forward for Cowon's players which have had a reputation for being slightly complex to use. With this new totally touch screen user interface Cowon have kept the depth of control possible with previous players but made day-to-day operation simplicity itself! Your main functions are represented by a set of simple icons on the main screen and on entering any of these options you're presented with a simple list of track or videos or photos. Text too small? Use the zoom bar and make it bigger. Not sure what a certain video file is? A looping thumbnail shows some footage from it right there on the menu. And again you can zoom in. It doesn't stop there - the S9 features G sensor technology so it knows which way up it's being held. So you can turn it on it's side and scroll through a list of album covers instead of a textual track list. Watching a movie it doesn't matter what way up you hold it the S9 will re-format the file to display the right way up and as big as possible on the 3.3 inch - 480 x 272 pixel AMOLED screen. So it's easy and cool to use what about the nuts & bolts - is it technically any good? Audio Normally on a player with such a ground-breaking screen we'd start with Video but on the S9 we really want to make spec

Cowon S9 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Touchscreen (Chrome/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The sound quality of this device is better than any mp3 player I've ever used before. Even with no equalizer changes the sound quality is better than most mp3 players out there.
But using a preset equalizer setting (BBE) I can notice a huge change in the sound quality of this device, the sound becomes clearer and warmer.

The user interface can be changed for a custom interface created by yourself or other users. I've been using a custom interface that really shows off the AMOLED screen.

The screen is incredible, I've compared it to that of the Ipod touch's screen and the Ipod doesn't even come close to the beauty of this screen.

As expected the screen is a fingerprint magnet, but you can clean it off with your shirt of a microfiber cloth. A screen protector is not needed unless you want to be extremely protective of the device, the Corning Gorilla glass on the screen that is used is scratch resistant, but a screen protector would help with fingerprints.

The biggest downside I had with this mp3 player was that it did not support Audible's audio format, but a few days ago a new firmware with Audible support was released.

Cowon S9 32 GB Video MP3 Player with Touchscreen (Titanium Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cowon is famous for it's media players. Latest in the line is this beautiful S9 Curve. The first thing I look for when I get a new player is the latest firmware. Cowon is on the ball. Version 2.05 came out before mine arrived, and I ordered mine from Jetmall.net the first day they were available in the U.S.. Version 2.06 came out 12/24. We're already up to 2.30 and the S9 just keeps getting better.I've always thought Cowon's players were bulky and not very practical or portable. The S9 changes the rules. Clearly Cowon has noticed that beautiful, innovative looks can help sell players.

What they didn't do was forget it's a media player. Music is best is class.Video is amazing shown on it's 3.3" AMOLED widescreen. Photos follow suite.If you're old enough to need reading glasses the Zoom feature makesapps with text easier to read/see with a simple slide of your finger. File format support is broad. You can drag and drop media directly onto the S9, use Windows Media Player, or use the Jetaudio app that comes included to put media on it.

Now with 32gb capacity you'll have room for movies and photos worth watching on that beautiful screen. Get the inexpensive video output cable and serve up movies to your TV.You'll get up to 50 hours music and 10 hours video playback with one battery charge.Don't forget FLASH game/app support, FM radio with recording, voice recording, and Bluetooth for wireless headphones. There is no Wifi or what it brings, but it's also $100 less than the iPod Touch of the same memory capacity.

Be sure and keep the firmware updated.Cowon is sending updates out each month, and each one has brought significant improvement. Best touchscreen player of 2009 I'll predict.
