I could write a few pages on this player, but I'll keep it short. This is a portable video player for those who don't want to waste all their time transcoding to iPod/Zune/whatever format. Drag and drop. My personal use includes: ~playing divx/x
This is a truly stunning device. I have spent the last 4 days loading it with media files, including divx dvd rips, F1 & MotoGP races in xvid format, and a dozen .flac albums and have been blown away by the playback in every case. Aside from an audio
This pmp, Cowon A3 is just awesome. I've meaning to have a new I-pod for a long time. Before I got this, I have asked around on the internet. I-pod video can play video files, but I-pod video has much smaller screen. I-pod touch might be another opti
Angered with my old iPod, I was on the lookout for a PMP that would actually play the types of media I wanted to play. My brother had a video iPod, and there was just too much work involved with encoding and all of that. Plus, I hated iTunes. It eventua
I'll have to admit, there were a few things said in reviews about this player that made me reluctant to purchase it in the first place: * The size. Well, it's certainly no larger than a CD player ever was, so I see no issue. If you can manage a
If you are interested in videos that look stunning, with excellent contrast, vibrant colors and crisp detail, you must consider this player. If you are also interested in audiophile sound, whether to accompany your videos or for your varied music collec
If this player performed as advertised and did everything it was supposed to, it would easily rate five stars. Unfortunately, it has a few MAJOR flaws and several minor ones, which Cowon does not seem to be addressing through firmware improvements. I boug
I have had my eye on the Cowan A2 for quite some time, and when I was ready to purchase it, i saw the A3 was out, wow what an awesome PMP! Great battery life, beautiful picture, excellent sound with lots of enhancements. I can't say enough about this
It even makes poor quality mp3 sounds great when I hook it up to my living room speakers where there's no where for poorly encoded mp3s to hide, unlike on small headphones which have no range in frequency (highs & lows) you know? You can tweak th
Cowon A3 has all the features that I could imagine and more. I plays a dozen audio and video formats, is able to receive FM radio, has speakers, has a microphone and can record audio, allows one to view pictures and read documents. There is also an option
First off, I think this is the best product out on the market. It does everything. Instead of buying a downloaded movie file, I can just hook up my DVD player into my Cowon A3 and just record my favorite movie just like that. Some say that it is hard to o
After couple of hours testing A3 I am quite impressed with its sound and video quality. Pros: 1. Sound quality: I owned about 6 other mp3 players - A3's audio is the best I've heard. 2. Image quality: Screen resolution is quite impressive - it i
Overall, the product is good. The interface is simple; no additional software is required, only a link to the computer. File support is good; the only problems arise with H.264 video, which lacks good support in the player, and GIFs, which do not animate
Audio and video playing are very good. Will play .avi no problem. Audio sound enhancement is also very good. User interface needs improvement. Battery lasts about 4 hours for video and 6-7 hours for audio. The hard drive will cause skipping with hars
Pros: Beautiful HD Screen, reasonable hours of play, GREAT (!!!) format support - just throw it into the device and it'll play. comfortable, light weight even on 60GB version, wide subtitles support, great menu language support. can use it as TiVo. Y
The GOOD The awesome screen resolution and great colors and the ability to play almost any movie or music format. The control wasn't as bad as some people claim the joystick handles I did not mind it at all got used to it in a very short time. The
I was excited to receive my Cowon A3. I immediately updated the firm ware from the web site. The screen then went white and would not respond to any commands or resets. I contacted Cowon tech support. They could not figure out the problem after severa
A big disappointment. I was so surprised when I received this as a gift. But after I plugged it in it was all downhill. First of all, it kept rebooting itself when I was trying to get it hooked up to my computer. Because of this, it took me at least a
There were problems inputting movies through the AV inputs. I had to reset it once to get it to work. Now, after uploading some music files I came back later to find a hot unit and white screen with the USB connection lost. When I disconnected from the US
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,
Beware the Cowon brand. The repair service is marginal, and their communication is horrible. I had an older M3 unit of theirs that needed to have the battery replaced. After charging me $40, the unit was repaired and returned to me. It worked for a we
