"Does the job."

by margorita on March 31, 2007

Pros: Tiny, Great for running.

Cons: Freezes up, Hard to see in daylight
Summary: This is my first MP3 player so I have nothing to compare it to. I wanted FM capability and that was a determining factor. I use this to run with and it's perfect. It hangs around the neck under my shirt with minimal bounce. (between jogbra and shirt, not sure how men will fare) I've always had armbands (and a funky tanline) with my walkmen and this is MUCH better. The users manual was not very helpful so I went to Cowon and downloaded a larger one. It also had to be configured for Napster to recognize it. I e-mailed Cowon support and they got right back to me with a very simple procedure. The buttons are kinda hard to feel if you're not looking and if you hit a couple of them too fast it freezes up. Just let it sit and it will turn itself off. When you turn it back on again all will be fine. The screen is hard to see in the sunlight requiring a stop in the run to figure it out
The earbuds fit fine and I have small ears. There are probably better ones out there but I can hear the cars coming and still have quality sound. Overall I'm pretty happy to have it. Next time I will get more GB's.

I loved it, it was great for running. Nice and small but I don't think it was rugged enough for lots of activity. Also, it was impossible to read the screen when outside, the buttons are small and difficult to find on feel alone. But I still liked it anyway. Then it recently "froze" in FM mode. I couldn't turn it on, off, up, down, or anything. So the battery died and now my computer won't recognize it because it has no juice left. BUT the computer is the only way to charge it. So I e-mailed tech support a week ago, they got back to me today and it must be sent in for repair.
I bought a Sandisk.
