Cowon J3 ships to America, you go hands-on

Nary dual full months after you initial held breeze of Cowon’s off-hand (albeit super sexy) J3 moveable media player, a award-winning device has both left upon sale as well as arrived upon the doorstep (along with the couple of others, according to the couple of joyful tipsters). As of currently, impending consumers in a US can order a single for $199.99 (8GB) or $239.99 (16GB), both of that have microSD slots for genius expansion. Per common, Cowon’s wrapping here was zero reduced of pleasant, as well as a 3.3-inch AMOLED arrangement struck us only as a S9 did oh-so-many months ago. Unlike a incomparable V5 you reviewed behind in March, you greatly appreciated a capacitive nature of this touch row, and finger presses were fairly as well as right away famous. The user interface was additionally distant some-more streamlined, and whizzing about from area to area was no emanate.

As with each alternative Cowon player we’ve ever laid ears on, a audio quality out of this a single was second to nothing; if you’re the self-proclaimed audiophile, nonetheless can’t just house your Marantz KI Pearl upon a transport, this is about as great as it gets. The video player was likewise considerable, loading up clips with minimal bitch, as well as display right away loiter whatsoever during playback. Unfortunately, for all the things this gorgeous section does right, the only spec that counts to some is wrong: pricing. We hatred to indicate out the viewable, though an 8GB iPod hold is additionally only $199, as well as unlike a J3, Apple’s alternative can surf the web over WiFi as well as move you face to face with 100,000 (or so) apps. From a worth proposition standpoint, there’s simply no comparison. ‘Course, a J3 may still mount out if you’re all about audio extravagant (and zero else), though we’ve yet to essentially meet someone who didn’t caring during slightest the smidgen about a extras. Vote with your wallet, as they say.
