I did tons of research before purchasing this unit in August 2008 and based upon the reviews and comparisons I read my choice was easy. I have been using it hard since then and I am TOTALLY satisfied. 1. Sound Quality: You must be tired hearing it by now
This is a fantastic MP3 player. Amazing battery life, drag and drop loading, no software required, nearly every codec supported, unbelievable sound quality. If you buy an IPOD instead of the Cowon, you're probably an idiot or you just didn't res
This is the best audiobook player of all. I also have an Ipod 80GB Classic and had a Zen Vision M. It leaves both for dead. - superb sound quality. - excellent bookmark function- 256 bookmarks. It returns to the bookmark and continues to the follwing trac
While the navigation is a little cumbersome at first, the sound quality and customization options more than make up for the shortcomings of this fine multimedia player. I would definitely buy one again!
I absolutely love this media player. It has everything I could have asked for and more. I upgraded from a Creative Zen 20GB, and although I downgraded my space, the features it offers make up for it! The integrated flash player is a bonus, as I was able t
There's not a better mp3 player on the market. It has great sound, long battery life and will easily drive my high-end headphones without any extra boost to amplification. Some people have complained of database corruption, but that problem has been
The D2 is a great A/V player.I want true drag-and-drop capability for media files, multiple playback formats (including FLAC and OGG,) superior battery life (EVERYONE admits that Cowon owns this one,) high power output at the phones jack, and superior (no
this player has been out for a couple of years.. recently came out with 16 gb and for its price and firmware it hands down beats any player ie ipod. while the 8 gb can go for 130 usd i chose the 16gb still +expandibility SD card +plays all or mostly all f
well, before I bought this [cowon D2] I was considering ipod touch, too. so I compared both by reading lots of reviews, and finally i found out that ipod's battery didn't last very long. I bought this D2 player and I'm very very happy with
Pros: 1-The +/- to skip song feature even while on hold. 2- Equilizer can actually be adjusted for different freq. 3- flash player 4- Amazingly strong , full sound (at 50 it blasts music louder than my phone while still keeping it in good quality). Cons:
Este reproductor de mp3 / ogg / videos es un sueño hecho realidad. Le puedes colocar adicionalmente una memoria SDHC la cual le da aun mas capacidad de almacenamiento y su sencilla interfaz gráfica permite una navegación y búsq
This product is not over-rated! I found it to be precisely as advertised. The quality of construction is excellent and the utilization of soft-keys on the screen and hard-keys on the top of this unit is a good balance. Picture quality is excellent. So
The Cowon D2 is a fine PMP. It plays far more file types than the majority of players. It has a radio--you can record radio programs and even schedule ahead of time to record. That's quite handy when you have it. I think the navigation is very easy o
Before this little technological angel, I'd owned a Video iPod ever since it first came out on market. I thought the iPod was genius with its video capabilities. Well, after 3 long years of strenuous use, I upgraded to this Cowon D2 16 GB PMP, and
Buy it. I know you can't see it or touch it in a store before you purchase, but THAT WON'T MATTER ! The screen is great, pushing buttons to get through menus is a pain in the arse on other players, but on the D2 it's fast, intuitive, and
I recently owned the Cowon Iaudio7 and when that one went missing there was no doubt where I was going to go for my next player. The first reason is simply because this player has the exact same audio hardware and effectors as the iaudio7 which frankly de
I really love this product, I am using it mostly for the MP3 player function, but it does a ton of other stuff. I never used a touch screen before, but it was easy to use and I like it better than buttons now. I got it as a replacement for a hard drive b
I just received my Cowon D2 MP3 player this afternoon. So far, I am very happy about my purchase. Other people had good comments about the player and I mostly agree, but I just wanted to add some things that I considered useful. Initially I hesitated to b
The sound is amazing, and it's very slick to look at. I chose it based on reviews that rate this player best in audio (after creative zen which seems to break easily), and I just love it. It's very cute and compact, and all my gadget-geek frien
Pros: Super long battery life, 16 gb of internal memory, SDHC expansion capacity, amazing sound quaility, Flash skin compatable, no propriatory software needed, direct file transfer through usb connection, Large number of usable file extensions Cons: Touc
(Initial Disclaimer: I am a big fan of most Cowon products.) The D2 is a great A/V player, but I honestly have to say that I can't recommend it to everyone. If you want a flawless GUI, up-to-the-minute firmware, extensive playlist capabilities, com
Where to start... Well first off my experience with MP3 players in general... I have had 3 Ipods (1 4th Gen 2 5th gen (one of which was a 5.5 comp upgrade from the apple store because they didn't have any regular 5th Gen there), and borrowed another

Pros: Battery life is amazing. Sd makes it a great price because of the amount of expandable memory Player is great Cons: Interface ... player is responsive but its not like the ipod Summary:
The Cowon D2 16G is a pleasant surprise, not without some small negatives, depending on what is important to you in a music/video player. To put my review in proper context: I use the player mostly in one place, so I am not concerned with "mobility&
I made the move to Cowon from a 30 GB video iPod that was on its last legs. I fired up the OCD while researching the replacement, as I tend to do, and settled on the D2 for a few reasons: - Ridiculous battery life - Non-proprietary connector: can charge v
I am very pleased with the Cowon iAudio D2 player. The sound is terrific - the best of any MP3 player I've tried. And it plays a great variety of formats, from MP3 to WAV. With a good pair of headphones, tunes can sound better than on most stereos. I
Overall, I find the D2 fairly easy to use with pretty good logic. However, the Jet Audio "skin" or software that comes with it for PC or laptop use with the D2 could be better. Perhaps I haven't studied on how to exactly use it right away

Pros: Basically an open platform, i.e. not designed for DRM controls. Easy to handle files, great video & sound. Light and an easy pocket size especially for 30G capacity. Pretty sturdy. Menu system easy to use and well designed. Cons: Since ipod has
Pros: Great video (.avi) & sound (.wma & .mp3). Battery seems to last forever - longer than its competitors. Light and an easy pocket size especially for 32G total capacity flash device. Menu system easy to use and well designed. Touchscreen with
Great player, with lots posibilities. I use it mainly for music but because I travel (USA-EUROPE) a lot and I use it also to watch TV series. Small screen but very good resolution. You have to convert downloaded tv program but that is very easy to do with
The good: -All materials are very scratch resistant. No case or screen protector and after several months, not a mark. The whole thing looks like new. -Nice overall size. With a touch screen you don't need any extra room for controls. The screen i
Love the sounds coming out of this thing! best MP3 player i have ever listed to, for sure. If you want to use a subscription service like Rhapsody, you have to change the default settings for USB connection on the D2, to MTP, then it works fine and you pl
I just love learning how to use the PMP. Now I am able to download music and books. Also, I have a subscription to podcasts. My grandson, Turner, likes to watch the slideshow while I record talks. He is 5 years old. The pictures a super clear and it i
The three main reasons to get a Cowon D2: 1. Pristine Sound Quality 2. Will play lossless audio files including FLAC and APE 3. Doesn't rely on propitiatory software or file types Sound Quality: Cowon makes some of the best sounding MP3 players on th
The battery life, screen quality, sound quality, storage capacity are all great. The user interface is awkward and for on-the-go usage the fonts are small. I usually have to stop walking, fumble through four or five menus, and finally queue up whatever I
What I wanted was an mp3 player that played FLAC, and many other lossless codecs as well as sorts by ID3 tags. Plus I wanted great audio quality. When this player works it is fantastic. However the firmware is buggy. The D2 database gets corrupted very ea
The D2 sounds fantastic and is very solid-the touch screen is a problem for playing tracks it is too small and hard to read unless one is stationary. I returned it for a refund because it would not play tracks in the proper order i.e. 1,2,3,... it would o
I give this product 3 stars using the following math. As an player for audio files - 5 stars. As an FM receiver - 1 star. Reception is horrid. Of the channels that do come in, most are grainy with noise. Of the one clear station I could get, it sounded

I bought this as an update to the Cowon D2 8gb I currently own. I listen almost entirely to audiobooks, half from Audible, half as mp3 files from groups such as librivox. Unfortunately, the firmware for this player (version 2.54, if memory serves) does
Really - once you accept the impossibility of loading media files onto this thing, it disappoints only in being too small for a doorstop. I was delayed in this realization by my silly expectation of using the D2 to play MP3 and AVI files. I had ignored a
I purchased the 16 D2 along with a 16 gig SDHC card. I thought that would give me 32 gigs. It didn't. The player didn't recognize the card, and I tried everything! The player is advertised "Podcast Ready," but my player sure wasn�
You're probably visiting this page after hearing the great many reviews about this "wonderful" little DAP from a little known Korean company. This of course came from the internets. Well. Be warned. The Cowon D2 is one of the worst DAPs to
I ordered from Jet Audio because it was a few dollars cheaper than other vendors, including directly from Amazon. The package arrived, and I was excited...until I opened it and discovered that no player was present. I am still waiting for a refund. It&
I have been thoroughly disappointed with their products and lack of customer service. They average about 2-3 weeks to return an email for customer service issues. I finally got through to a representative and was advised to send the product back to them,
