Great sound [Posted on 2008-09-16]
An audiophile's delight. paired with Sennheiser's CX300s I have enjoyed a few hundred hours of music on this unit - VERY happy with the sound it produces. Kinda has some issues with firmware (difficulty with playlists) but overall is user-friendly and easily navigated. Hopefully Cowon will straighten out their interface or Rockbox will be released soon - even if they don't I'm happy to have it.
Also bought a Noreve case to go with - sleek little package that I have dropped while bicycling - NO DAMAGE!!!!
excellent player but not if it breaks and you meet customer service [Posted on 2008-10-11]
The sound quality and feel of the player are excellent. However after 4 months of light use and no accidents, the LCD screen developed a crack. Player still worked but since it was under warranty, I followed the awkward customer service rules and shipped it to their Irvine service center ... to receive a bill from an Ebay address telling me to send on over $67. No warning that they would bill me even though they already knew the problem (and that it is impossible for a customer to prove they didn't mistreat the player), no explanation. Other reviewers have had the same problem.
Things break and I can take that. I would have preferred no warranty, rather than this inconvenient charade. COWON please take note.
Cowon D2 [Posted on 2008-11-30]
I am very pleased with the Cowon D2. I spent a lot of time researching MP3 players and have not been disappointed with my choice. Thus far, I have only used it to listen to audio books from Overdrive, and podcasts. It is great for both. Another plus is the terrific battery life. My son, an audio engineer, has used it to listen to music and is very impressed with the sound quality. Overall it is a great product.
Touch screen - Top menu line no longer works after less than 1 month! [Posted on 2008-12-09]
At first I loved this player.
But, after less than a month, the top line of the menu won't respond (bottom line of menu works fine). Pressing reset does not help.
This did not happen after any kind of trauma. I put the player (while turned on) into my pocket while I was carrying things in from the car. It never worked right after that short pocket trip. Weird.
Outstanding player for the money [Posted on 2008-12-09]
This player seems to do it all with great sound! I have the 4gb with a 4gb sd card but am getting a 16gb for a total of 20gb! It's small, has great battery life and supports all the formats that I use. I've used the video converter on the software provided and it works really well. As a music player I don't think the sound can be surpassed, even by the more popular brands (ie: i-something). Even the voice recorder is very good. The only down side I've found is that the fonts on the menu are small and I cannot read them well without glasses. It would also be nice if the battery were replaceable. Some first time Cowon users may find that the menus are in layers that require multiple taps to search through for what you want. I've had a smaller cowon player for years and you get fast at it with use. Your finger works well so I'm not even using the stylus. You may not find service readily as some reviewers have noted but we live in a throw away world and I've found that repairs usually cost more than replacement. A wonderful player!!!
