Cowon iAudio 6 Review

 

Here come the Koreans with a challenger to the uber slim Nano. On first sight it fails the weight loss plan but Cowon have packed the new iAudio 6 with everything including the kitchen sink!

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 iAudio6 4GB - Black

 

The Cowon iAudio 6 stores your media on its 4GB hard drive, which uses a new miniature disk that's only 0.85-inch in diameter. This reduces the size of the player and makes it more resistant to shocks than units that use larger drives. The player is...

Small size and lightweight ; Records FM broadcasts, and from mic

Screen too small for watching video ; Roughly average audio quality

Tiny player supports many audio formats and online music subscriptions, but the screen is small and the controls are quirky.

Cowon iAudio 6

 

This 4GB Cowon iAudio 6 hard drive player practically overflows with bells and whistles.

Very small for a hard drive player. Broad feature set. Broad audio format support. Flexible sound-enhancement and playback options. Supports subscription and download services.

Interface is often slow. Expensive for a hard drive player. Weak FM tuner.

i measured the player's frequency response with no jeteffect modules enabled and using the included earbuds, and it showed significant weakness in the low end, but this improved when i swapped out the included earbuds for sennheiser mx500 earbuds....

The tiny iAudio 6 plays and records plenty of media types, but the funky controls and miniature screen limit its appeal.

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.

iAudio 6 Music Player

 

iAudio 6 is the latest music player to be launched by Cowon. It offers a complete package of smooth looks and excellent features, at a price of $179.99.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

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.
