The editors didn't like
Slightly lazy musical delivery
No iPlayer support
Fiddly to operate
Poor touch-screen interface
Not cheap. Unintuitive interface. Confusing software. Limited storage
Looks like it's trying to be an iPod
The S9 needs to work on its vocabulary. While it’s conversant with vanilla MP3s and WMAs
It can’t speak DRM with Microsoft or any dialect of Apple’s AAC. Video isn’t much better
With the Cowon unable to understand the latest MPEG...
Gorgeous screen, plenty of formats supported, great battery life
User interface isn’t as good as iPod’s, plastic casing feels cheap and tacky
If you’re looking for a portable media player with exceptionally good audio and video quality, and the added bonus of native XviD support, the Cowon S9 is the one for you. It doesn’t have the design flair or great interface of the Apple iPod t...
Gorgeous OLED touchscreen display, Long battery life, Multitude of features

Excellent sound and video quality, Support for most video formats, FM radio has decent pick up, Great battery life
Forwarding or Rewinding files via the display is a bit of a problem, All menus dont change orientation, Packaging should have included TV out cables and case
Misc. FeaturesSince the S9 with the latest firmware update and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR is fully A2DP and AVRCP compatible, with a set of Stereo Bluetooth headphones you’re just going to enjoy the audio even more than with a really good set of headpho...
The Cowon S9 is the companys best MP3 player to date. It boasts superb sound quality, a beautiful display and great features. Its main downside, however, is its average user interface, which isnt idiot-proof by any means.
Abstract: Malgré quelques petits défauts tels une interface perfectible, le Cowon S9 est une franche réussite. Sa qualité sonore est au top, son écran AMOLED rend la lecture des vidéos très agréable et le baladeur séduit par son design élégant et..
Qualité audio et vidéo excellente, Autonomie impressionnante, Boutons de commandes non tactiles, Interface facile d'accès et modifiable, Lecture des vidéos sans réencodage préalable
Nonsupport de l'AAC
S9, le mini-PMP ultime ? On n'est pas loin de le penser. En tout cas, il se permet de remettre gentiment ses concurrents dans le rang, mais derrière....
Dieser Test hat richtig Spaß gemacht. Die drei Player haben individuelle Vorzüge und können so unterschiedlichen Leuten empfohlen werden. Der teuerste von den dreien, der Archos 5, kann als der High-End-Player bezeichnet werden. Seine WLAN-Funktionalität...
