Cowon iAudio 7 review

Reviews Cowon's iAudio 7 is the latest and supposedly greatest MP3 player to take a swing at Apple's iPod nano. Cowon frequently throws in support for FLAC and OGG music files, but in its last player -- the iAudio F2 -- memory maxed out at 2GB, so what use...

Cowon iAudio D2 (4GB) review

Reviews Cowon may be an underdog in the market in terms of sales, but this Korean company does know how to make a quality MP3 player. The Cowon iAudio D2 is a solid and compact player dominated by a 64mm (2.5-inch) screen.

Cowon iAudio D2 DMB (DAB) review

Reviews The gentle but articulate Korean manufacturer Cowon could only have made us smile more about its iAudio D2 MP3 player had it jammed a banana firmly between our lips. The Gadget Shop was a whole business built around that idea, and Cowon's shiny new...

Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB) review

Reviews The £190 iAudio 6, Cowon's first microdrive player, rivals most flash players in compactness, thanks in part to a 4GB, 22mm hard drive. The 4GB Cowon iAudio 6 next to the similarly priced 4GB Apple iPod nano.

Cowon iAudio 5 (2GB) review

Reviews Cowon (formerly JetAudio) was wise not to tinker with the formula for its exceptional iAudio 4 flash MP3 player. It's worth mentioning that Cowon is one of the first companies to release a 2GB flash player, but it's not ready for the prime time...

Cowon iAudio X5 (30GB) review

Reviews Take one look at the Cowon iAudio X5's feature list and you might peg it as an iPod killer. Using an adaptor probably allowed the designers at Cowon to make the main device as small as it is, but carrying the plastic plug-in around is a hassle, and...

Cowon A3 review

Reviews Cowon's A3 is the brother of the Q5W -- an extremely capable portable media player, that even came with Wi-Fi and Windows CE 5.0. With hard disk capacities of 30GB or 60GB -- costing around £320 -- plus a dual-core processing chip and support for...

Cowon Q5W review

Reviews Cowon's new Q5W is a hard disk-boasting, Wi-Fi-capable, touchscreen-rocking, Windows-powered, codec-loving metallic behemoth. Despite its complicated and slightly sluggish menus, Cowon's Q5W should be seen as the Holy Grail of media players, or...

Cowon iAudio U3 (2GB) review

Reviews Cowon audio players have long been critical favourites here at CNET.co.uk. Fortunately, a forthcoming firmware update (due in February, according to Cowon) promises to add DRM support, so this limitation should disappear.

Cowon iAudio G2 (1GB) review

Reviews Cowon built the iAudio G2 with the premise that less is more. For £100, the Cowon iAudio G2 is a good choice for anyone seeking a fairly basic but great-sounding device that can play WMA (DRM 9) and OGG files, in addition to MP3s.

MP3 players with radio

Reviews Cowon's iAudio D2 DMB (DAB) not only features an FM radio, but also comes with full DAB support. It's got a gorgeous touch-sensitive display, an SD card slot, more customisation options than you can shake a stick at and it sounds fantastic.

Best lossless MP3 players

Reviews Cowon's iAudio 7 offers support for the FLAC audio format and boasts a terrific audio chip to boot, so those lossless files sound exceptionally good. Finally, Cowon's iAudio D2 was a nominee for our prestigious Editors' Choice award in 2007.
