Cowon's 4GB iAudio6 DAP reviewed

 

Cowon's gotten some rather mixed reviews in the past for their line of iAudio DAPs, but the outlook seems mostly positive for the upcoming hard drive-based iAudio6, with Anything But iPod finding very few flaws in the diminutive player's design,...

Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB)

The Cowon iAudio 6 is a supercompact hard drive audio, video, and photo player with excellent format support and performance (bright sound and solid battery life). A vivid and colorful OLED screen, FM radio, line-in and voice-recording capabilities,...

The Cowon iAudio 6's touch interface takes some getting used to, and the device is easiest to operate with two hands. Also, the hard drive device is more likely to malfunction than a flash player. No carrying case or lanyard is included. Like with the...

The stacked yet compact 4GB Cowon iAudio 6 is a true performer, but the touch-sensitive interface will cause problems for some.

Another solid Cowon player

 

A little thick, but the small footprint makes up for it -HDD based instead of flash.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I love it.

 

Drag and Drop file management (no more lousy proprietary software).

I still want more battery life despite 12-16hr + usage.
