Cowon iAudio 5 (1GB, Noble Black)

Pros: Sound quality, Build quality, Menu system, Features and Battery

Cons: Drains battery rather fast if You have all lightening and color effects on.

Summary: First to say, this is a realy good player. Second to say, I have switched from Muvo n200 to Iaudio5 it was like going from lowend to highend. n200 is a good player for its price and its also very small. But Hyndai is also a good Car for its price but You cant compair it to a Porche! You cant compair n200 with I5, they target different customer groups. That takes me to my third point, the Cnet review. I dont no if I should take it seriously. Iaudio5 outperforms the n200 in every aspect except, price and size (even batterytime if you shut off the color effects). How could Cnet give the n200 a higher score, it has even built in hardware and software problems. Personaly i think the I5 should have higher scores than U2. It has a larger screen, better in handling different sound format otherwise the exact same specs and menussytem. The other differences are the design of the case and type of battery. It would be really interresting to hear the Cnet motivation for the different scores between the U2, I5 and n200... I choose the I5 over the n200 because it outperforms. I choose the I5 over the U2 because of the batterytype, the screensize and the design of the case.
