Cowon S9 Pro Reviews

Sort:

Engadget‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The S9 has a lot of things going for it -- the 2+ day battery life, gorgeous AMOLED screen, impeccable audio quality and featherlight design (just to name a few) -- but at $199.99 and $239.99 for the 8GB and 16GB versions, respectively, we simply expected more. If these fall by $70 or so in the short term, they'll certainly become quite the bargain, but considering that these are apt to be used in noisy subway stations and on windy bike trails (compared to say, in a dead quiet recording studio), we're not entirely sure the small bump in overall sound quality is enough to warrant a purchase over more fully-featured rivals.

Cowon’s moving in the right direction, but it still can’t quite match the class leaders.It works well here, as the S9 produces a brilliantly punchy, sharp and vibrant picture, with very solid motion and decent black depth for a device of this type. Oh, and the built-in accelerometer means you only have to turn the player on its side for the picture to rotate and take advantage of the genuine 16:9 aspect ratio.

The S9 is designed to resemble the iPod touch - with a touch screen and its own version of Cover Flow - but the player lacks the grace and Wi-Fi connectivity necessary to be a true rival.

Awesome video and audio and packed with other features too. Finally, a worthy rival to Apple's all-pervasive iPods.

Rich sound, a responsive touchscreen, and stereo Bluetooth support make the S9 a formidable foe for the iPod touch.

The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.
