"Nice unit but you can buy better Mp3 players for the same price"
Pros: Beautiful screen I MEAN BEAUTIFUL, Thin. Games.
Cons: Battery life, no memory expansion, = overal small upgrade from the Clix
Summary: I wanted to love this MP3 player. I honestly did. But a friend of mine ordered the Cowon D2 at the same time I ordered my CLix2. He received his D2 about a week before I received my Clix2 and I was so happy because I thought the Clix2 was going to be so much better the D2 after playing around with it. I was so disappointed when I finally got my Clix2 in the mail. Yes on the outside it is gorgeous but that is where the comparison ends. The Clix does not have expandable memory. 4 gigs is nice but why will I have to upgrade to a whole new unit in the future to get more memory? You can not hook it up to your Tv and play video from it. The sound quality is far less superior to the D2. I used the same set of shure e2c ear buds on both the D2 and CLix 2 and it is almost sad the difference. 1) the D2?s bass is THERE, yeah they are ear buds and you cant ?feel? the bass but you can HEAR it. The Clix2 just falls so short I don?t know how to explain it. Its like you are listening to music underwater when compared to the D2. User interface is different but easy on both units. Battery life is a crying shame on the Clix2 25 hrs???. Its like the D2 is showing us everything a pmp\mp3 player can be and the clix2 is saying ?I don?t care, Im going to give you less?charge you just as much and you are going to except it.? Well the consumer DOESN?T have to accept it. Ive returned my Clix2 and have ordered what I should have bought in the first place?the D2. Do yourself a favor if you are still on the fence. Buy the D2 and love life. Cheers !

I was looking at both the clix2 and the D2, everyone tells me to get the Clix2 because it looks cooler. The truth is after just doing simple research i have decided to buy the D2. It boasts a 50 hr battery life, the best audio out there, and the ability to expand your memory space. overall you wrote a good article.

Why if you said it is a nice unit you rate it as Poor and not as Nice?

I own this too. My friend living in korea sent me one. I mean seriously...how can this be only 3?? while the original clix got like 8.9or something. Do you actually have this?? Oh yea.. the TV connection thing.. Its only useful in korea ONLY..since korean version has DMB(Digital Media Broadcasting..or handheld tv simply.) it has good quality of viewing but the video you actually put inside the D2 has only resolution of 320x240. imagin watching 320x240 quality video in tv..its awful..And the memory part...do you know how much memory costs? i would rather buy 8gig if i want to buy 4gig and expand it. think before you write...its not always a good thing.. In clix2 you can personalize the mp3..like animation background fonts and even the button.. Flash game is a big plus. editable personal smart key is another one too. Sound quality.. did you heard about SRS WOW HD? its another function in clix2..big improvement from u10.since you didn't mention it..it seems like you only saw other's review and just wrote your comment on it. I think you should "actualy buy or use it " before you write this...I'm not saying clix2 is a world's best mp3 but it surely worth more than rating of 3...just to test you i want you to name the background inside, movie, accesories that already comes with clix 2...and another feature that has to do with background too if you can..it has something to do with week..if you can answer this I'll take back what I said^^
