Cowon iAudio X5 (30GB) review

Cowon iAudio X5 (30GB) review

On paper, the 30GB, iPod-size X5 has everything that Apple's ice-white wonder does -- including music playback, a photo viewer and on-the-fly playlists -- then it piles on video playback, an FM radio, voice and line-in recording, and even the ability to read and save images directly from a digital camera. But it doesn't have anything to match iTunes Read more

Cowon S9 review

The S9's main strengths are its sensitive touchscreen, great features and superb sound quality. Despite a disappointing lack of AAC support and an average user interface, it's Cowon's best MP3 player to date, although it's not as great a threat to the iPod touch as the company might like Read more

Cowon iAudio 7 review

High five to Cowon -- its iAudio 7 is a fantastic little MP3 player. It comes in 4GB and 8GB versions, has support for loads of file formats, great sound quality and an outstanding battery life of 60 hours Read more

Samsung Galaxy Player 50 review

The Android-based Samsung Galaxy Player 50 aims to knock Apple's iPod touch off its pedestal, but fails. A number of flaws mean this media player feels rushed and generally unimpressive. Read more

Samsung YP-U5 review

Those seeking an affordable secondary MP3 player could do far worse than the YP-U5. Its battery life is good, it offers above-average sound quality and it supports a decent range of audio formats, although AAC is notably missing. A fitness app also makes it well-suited to gym fanatics Read more

Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond review

This could very well be the best Samsung MP3 player to date. Not only is it remarkably affordable at £99 for 16GB, but with support for lossless FLAC audio, BBC iPlayer, FM radio, drag-and-drop file management and a cracking little screen, it's going on our list of Samsung successes Read more

Cowon Q5W review

Cowon's Q5W could be Holy Grail of media players -- or more specifically, video players. It boasts unprecedented compatibility with file formats and terrific performance, in addition to many levels of customisation, making it a must-see choice for anyone who demands everything for their video Read more

Samsung YP-Q2 review

Up close, its plastic design leaves something to be desired, but the YP-Q2 budget MP3 player still represents excellent value for money. Its overall performance is good, there's a decent array of features, and the relatively large screen makes viewing photos and videos a pleasure Read more

Cowon iAudio D2 DMB (DAB) review

Cowon's iAudio D2 was a fab little MP3 and video player with features bursting from its elegant seams, but the Korean manufacturer has somehow managed to upgrade it by cramming an entire DAB digital radio in Read more

Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB) review

Here's one for the iPod-hating underground -- a 4GB microdrive player with all kinds of features and customisability. It supports subscription audio as well as video and photos and FM recording, and it has a colourful 33mm OLED screen. The touch-sensitive interface takes some getting used to, but the audio quality is superb Read more
