The Matrix MP3 Player- Cowon iAudio F2

 

Cowon's new MP3 player has dynamic matrix controls, whatever they are'However it is unbelievably small and more like a stylised mobile phone than a boring MP3 player. We test Cowon's latest 2gb offering to see if it is more then a glitch.

Cowon iAudio F2 review: Cowon iAudio F2

 

The compact phone-like Cowon iAudio F2 plays music, video, and photo files; has excellent and configurable sound quality; records line-in, voice, and FM; can play OGG, FLAC, plus purchased and subscription-based music; has both MTP and UMS modes; has...

The Cowon iAudio F2 with its array of buttons may be too small to operate comfortably; feature- and option-rich interface has higher learning curve than a typical player's; must use included software to convert video; maxes out at only 2GB.

The superportable Cowon iAudio F2 is a feature-packed performer, but its mini cell phone design makes it a bear to use. Plus it maxes out at 2GB.

Cowon iAudio F2

 

The iAudio F2 is a feature-rich audio player with good sound quality but can burn a hole in your pocket.

Excellent sound quality, Comfortable earphones, Good bundle, Good build, Feature-rich, Direct MP3 encoding, Supports wide variety of audio formats, Upgradeable firmware, Good battery life

Poor FM Tuner, Buttons too small for comfort, Bit expensive

Cowon iAudio F2 MP3 Player review

 

We review one mighty little media player.

Small and light ; Good looking form factor ; Easy to use interface ; Long battery life and fast recharge ; Excellent sound quality

Tiny oddly shaped buttons ; Small screen makes watching video and viewing images a waste of time

All in all the F2 is a very good device and well worth its price tag. After using it intensely for about a month I was sad to have to return it. For me it is one of the best MP3 player in its class. I would rate it above an Apple iPod nano which seems...

The iAudio F2 takes a new design approach in comparison to the failed iAudio F1. But Cowon have learned their lesson from mistakes they made. The F2 looks a lot more sophisticated and better designed than its predecessor

about JetAudio

 

The program that this mp3 player comes with is called JetAudio, not "JustAudio".

It also supports video conversion for an extra fee.
