Don't worry, I won't go on and on and on though...
Anyway, my new iAudio 7 arrived this morning and I've just been getting to grips with it.
First and foremost (purely personal opinions here of course) believe the hype regarding Cowon sound quality. it's nothing short of superb. I own players by Creative, Sony, Archos and a bunch of iPods and this beats the lot of them hands down. I'm using a set of AKG K340 in ear buds with it and the sound is very rich and full. It can certainly drive these cans with no bother at all. I've not been able to max out the volume yet. I have to stop before ear damage sets in. There also appears to be multiple EQ and enhancement settings to sweeten up low bitrate .mp3's. The battery is rated at 60 hours. I'm not sure what I'll get out of it. I've read in the region of 45-50 though isn't uncommon.
Bad points? It's a bit small for my mitts. The swing touch interface is ok, no problems so far, but it's not the best of controls. The screen can display videos and photos, but at 1.3in it's pointless to even try.
It really is a great little unit. It supports a large number of file formats also which is very handy.
I'll leave it there... for now.
