this bitch has no idea what she is talking about, they just picked her because she is pretty but she doesn't know what she is talking about in this review. you can control everything while it is in your pocket. if the hold button is off you access volume if it is on you access the skip and play/pause. cowon d2 is far superior.
There is no better DAP on the market. This review from Cnet Blows. She tells you 20% of the thing this player can do. What s joke of a review, My guess is cnet is in the pocket of apple.
it seems to be a first look at the player more than a full blown video review .. I tried it out audio quality is better than normal but u just can't beat the ipod's user interface ..
Yes the review Blows. This player is awesome. I have had an ipod and the creative Zen and the creative VM and so far the Cowon D2 is the best......People only buy ipods because people like to be told what to buy.
Terrible reviews. No mention of specs, and compares to a nomad zen. She mentions the horrible nomad zen. This player supports way more codecs. Such as flac; for serious audiophiles.
The only downside is finding accessories for the D2. Every damn retailer sells accessories only for the abomination known as the Ipod
agreed! They give mp3 players reviews like they've only had like 2 min to look at it.. Seriously.. They're like "ooh the design of this player is nice". when a reviewer says something looks nice.. usually means they've looked at it for like 2 seconds. cnet doesn't look at players for any of their purposes like sound and playback capability. Thats why they gave the rio karma a bad review because it was "clunky" even though back then it had the best sound and almost highest storage on the market!
The Cowon D2 is a great player with better sound than many professional sound systems. At the time this review was done The D2 firmware didn't support SDHC and SD cards only went up to 2GB. The D2 is now only available in 4GB and 8GB models. If your lucky you can find a 2GB model floating around. I like my D2 so much I am thinking of getting another one.
Was a bit disappointed that the D2's sound chip does not reproduce as full/rich a sound as the iRiver sound chip. But overall, the D2 has better features than iRiver....namely much better video, way longer battery life and an expansion slot that allows you to stick in an SD card. Overall I'm happy with the D2 but was hoping the sound owuld have been as good (or better) than iRiver's.
The sound isn't bad at all, it's quite good actually.....I recommend it a heck of a lot better than an iPOD. But in comparison to my old iRiver IFP-790 (250 megs), the iRiver still sounds more natural. Although the D2 has a bunch of sound enhancements (filters/frequency adjusters) it lacks a bit on the mid to low range (just after the mid range frequencies).The bass also sounds a little boxy much like the Sony Walkmans did in the early 90s with their DBE bass filters.I believe D2 lacks the chip.
The positives for the D2 are the SD slot, finding a song if you have a lot of MP3s on it, radio (better than iRiver's...less static), great screen. I forgot to mention though that the highest it can record is 256kbps...my old iRiver can do 320kbps. I also have problems seeing the screen when I'm out in the sun. Oh yeah, the battery life on the D2 is simply AWESOME!!! Not too many MP3 players come close to 52 hours. I don't charge it very often either.
