The player cowon d20 32gb has a linear output. Review of COWON M2 and X9. More than players. Packaging and accessories

In fact, until recently, the C2 model was considered the heir to the legendary Cowon D2+. But in March 2013, the South Korean company announced a new player, very similar in appearance to the D2+ and positioned as its successor. I’ll tell you more about the new product under the cut.

Full table of specifications from the official website of the manufacturer

Packaging and accessories

The player comes in a box made of raw cardboard, which is already familiar to the company's latest products.

Inside there is a drawer with two compartments. This was done for a reason, because instead of throwing away the box, the manufacturer suggests using it in the form of a pencil case for all kinds of small junk.

Actually, the box itself is divided into two calvings. The smaller one houses the player itself. The second contains a short user manual (its full version located in the device memory), USB cable and standard Cowon headphones (as usual, they are no good).

The scope of delivery is rather meager; the lack of a network connection is especially disappointing. charger.

Appearance and controls

In appearance, it looks like the D2+, only now instead of a slot for the stylus there is a mesh covering a speaker that is absolutely unnecessary here, which, moreover, does not sound good compared to most modern smartphones and other portable devices.

Case material - matte plastic. On the back there are several inscriptions informing us about the model of the device, its serial number and the amount of built-in memory.

Top edge (from left to right): two-position slider button (slide to the left - turn on/off the display, slide to the right (fixed) - lock), microphone and player control buttons. The latter are separated by a small gap, which makes their identification real, but far from the most convenient. The stroke is short, but the tactile response is quite informative.

At the bottom there is a slot for SD/SDHC memory cards. The characteristics state that the maximum capacity of memory cards is 32 GB, although, according to some users, the player can easily “eat” cards up to 128 GB.
On the left side there is an audio output and a plug, under which is hidden: a socket USB connections, reset button and EXT port (used to connect a video cable, linear recording cable or external storage).

In general, the device is a kind of “brick”, but nevertheless with reasonable weight and size indicators.

Display, interface and its modifications

The display of the subject is touch-sensitive, 2.5-inch with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. The sensor is resistive, but you shouldn’t immediately remember the last century, the interface is well adapted for working with fingers, and the sensitivity is also at the level. Another plus is the ability to control any object.

By the way, about the interface, it is based on Flash technology and completely copies that of Cowon C2, so their design themes (skins) are completely compatible. Each startup begins with loading the player itself and initializing the memory card, all this takes about 20 seconds, so a sleep mode is provided.

To design the menu, you can choose one of two themes to choose from. After loading the first one, we get to a screen with an animated screensaver, of which there are 7 available to choose from. The one that is installed by default changes the image depending on the time of day. Swipe down to move to the first desktop. Considering the screen resolution, the font could have been made larger.

There are four such desktops in the main menu. You can’t customize anything, but even without this, the arrangement of elements looks quite logical.

The second theme is more standard and has a “human” font in the captions for the icons. By the way, one of its features is the ability to move them.

The main screen of the audio player is a progress bar against the backdrop of a rotating vinyl record, the image on which changes depending on the album cover. A single tap on the display brings up a control menu consisting of several screens.

IMHO, I personally didn’t like this interface, and here the same Flash UI that I mentioned a few paragraphs earlier comes into force. The Сowonworld community presents a fairly large number of skins for the audio player, and although not all of them have an ideal interface and beauty, you still come across interesting things. I settled on the topic - TURN Music Flash UI.

To install new topic design, you need to download the archive with the music.svf file and unpack it along the path System/Flash UI. All that remains is to disconnect the USB cable and turn on the player. PROFIT! In the same way, you can customize the main menu. In order to revert to the stock theme, simply delete the music.svf file in the directory you previously placed. I won’t talk in full about the capabilities of this theme (you can read the link or, if you are the owner of the player, check it yourself), but I would like to note the organization of an additional menu that contains basic settings. You can go to it by tapping on “+”.

A separate application called a browser is responsible for navigating through the device’s memory. There are two ways to get into it. The first is from the main menu (a stripped-down version without favorite tracks and bookmarks). In this case, the browser consists of a search page and track navigation. You can go up a level, delete a track or add it to your favorites by additionally calling up the control menu by tapping on the icon in the upper right corner.

The second is from the audio player by clicking on “Open”. Then two more additional pages are added with your favorite tracks and bookmarks.

All main settings are located on two pages and consist of 7 categories - JetEffect 5, display, time, music, video, recording and system. The most extensive is the category with effects, there are six pages of them (I don’t understand why, but many people like it). This is followed by setting up a system with four pages, so describing it all here is far from the best idea, and if you are interested in something, I advise you to read the instructions or ask me.

There was also room for a radio with a voice recorder. The first works without headphones and allows you to record broadcasts, although the reception quality is frankly poor, even with headphones connected.

There are no complaints about the recorder. It is possible to record sound from a microphone or line output.

Additional utilities worth noting are: a calculator, a stopwatch and a notepad for handwriting.

An app with a funny name, Typist, is used to create reminders.

Everything you need is there, the speed of work is also up to par. We are pleased with the customization possibilities, thanks to which you can customize the interface for yourself.

Internals, maintainability

Let's disassemble the device. We will inspect the internals and test maintainability. The first step is to remove the memory card and prepare a Phillips screwdriver (#00).

The next step is to unscrew the three screws around the perimeter of the device.

Armed credit card or a mediator, we snap off the plastic fasteners of the back cover.

Slightly lift the cover in the area of the audio output and slide it towards you. Please note that the battery is located in this very cover, so you should not get carried away, as you can damage the power cord.

We remove the battery, simultaneously disconnecting the power cord. Here we can see the general layout of the board. In case you bother to bathe your device, there is a wetness sensor.

For some reason, the manufacturer did not indicate the battery capacity in the stated specifications, but it is quite impressive, both in terms of size and capacity, which is 1600 mAh (5.9 Wh) at a voltage of 3.7V.

Turn off the speaker. You don’t have to connect it back, because it’s of no use. :)

Unscrew the two screws in the area of the memory card slot.

And again we arm ourselves with a credit card. This time we snap off the plastic fasteners of the front cover.

Actually, we have now reached the final stage. All that remains is to remove the board from the base of the case, although it is more likely to fall out on its own, since there is nothing holding it in place.

Remove the display from motherboard I didn’t dare (in fact, I just forgot, but I didn’t want to disassemble it again), so as not to damage the cables leading to it. I think in case of replacement it will not be difficult to do, you just need to unclip the fasteners on the back of the board.

A chip produced by Wolfson - WM8690G, is responsible for sound reproduction, exactly the same as in Cowon C2. The second chip, PCF50633NH, manufactured by STMicroelectronics, is responsible for organizing power for all components of the player and charging the Li-pol battery.

Since I didn’t dare remove the display, I couldn’t see what was “steering” the device, so the topic of boobs can be considered unsolved. I will try to improve in subsequent articles.

Putting it back together in reverse order. In general, the device is easy to disassemble/assemble; there are no complaints about soldering or components. Everything is done with high quality.

Sound

You shouldn’t expect anything extraordinary from the WM8960G chip; in terms of sound quality, it is not far from the solutions used in modern top-end smartphones, for example, the WM5102 in Samsung Galaxy S4.

On the other hand, 29 mW of power per channel is enough for most low- and mid-range headphones. price ranges, be it SoundMagic E10 or “rebar” Rock It Sounds R-20. By the way, it copes even with the VSonic GR-07, leaving a small volume margin.

The specific sound of the player itself primarily depends on the headphones. Therefore, the ideal option here would be to take your favorite headphones and head to the nearest personal audio store.

Operation and autonomy

Considering the weight and size of the Cowon D20, it can be used both as an everyday player and for sports. I practice the latter on a regular basis, as a result of which during one of my runs the device fell from a meter height onto the asphalt. This resulted in just a few scratches on the back cover.

The player accepts all the most common audio formats, including FLAC and APE. The only thing that upsets me is the lack of cue sheet support, despite the fact that almost my entire library is built from albums with one file divided into tracks using cues. Therefore, one fine summer evening was spent sawing albums. This can be done using the CUETools program.

In terms of autonomy. The 90 hours declared by the manufacturer can only be obtained in ideal conditions, but in fact, for me personally, the device lasted 73 hours when playing music in lossless formats. This indicator makes it possible to completely forget about charging the player for at least a month (2-2.5 hours of music playback per day).

Tweaks

By default, the ± buttons control volume changes, while there are no hardware buttons for switching tracks. In order to reassign them to switch tracks, you need to go to Settings -> System and on the second page change the value from “Volume” to “FF/REW”.
In Europe, there is a law limiting the volume of music players to 80 dB. This may be correct, but in this way many users lose additional power, which can help “pump up” more serious headphones. To get rid of this limitation, you need to delete the Param.cfg file from the device memory (it is located in the System folder). The next time you turn on the device, on the region selection page you need to select the “Non-European Union” item, as a result of which the restriction will be removed.

Results

Cowon D20 is a portable audio player, a kind of successor to the D2+ model. Its characteristic feature is a long time battery life combined with good sound quality. And if all you need from a player is listening to music, then I confidently recommend this device for purchase!

Advantages and disadvantages

Battery life
Good sound quality
Case materials, design
Availability of a slot for memory cards
A huge number of effects and “improvers”
Lack of support.cue
Lack of network storage in the standard package
Reduced output power compared to its predecessor

Price

The player is presented on the market in 3 modifications with 8, 16 or 32 GB of user memory, the price for the youngest starts at 4290 rubles in Russia and 1452 hryvnia in Ukraine. I advise you to purchase from official distributors.

Cowon M2: a model for everyone

Back in 2007, COWON released a revolutionary product at that time - the D2 player with a touch-screen color display, excellent sound and an abundance of multimedia capabilities. A lot of time has passed since then, during which the Koreans continued to improve their brainchild, releasing models called D20 and C2. The hero of today's review is COWON M2– last on this moment incarnation of the legendary player.

Everything is very simple

As usual, let's start with packaging and appearance. The player is sold in an incredibly ascetic cardboard box. The color of the model and the amount of built-in memory are indicated by a small white sticker. To some, this approach may seem overly modest, but from an environmental point of view, it is in complete order.

The delivery set is also quite standard: the player itself, a USB cable for charging and synchronization, simple headphones and instructions.

The device is made of matte plastic with rubberized back cover. The main part of the front panel is occupied by a 2.8-inch display with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. It displays 16 million colors and has a good viewing angle of 160 degrees.

Nearby there is a small speaker. Its volume leaves much to be desired, but for some cases when you don’t want to plug in headphones again, it’s quite suitable.

On the top and right sides there are 7 physical buttons: power/lock, play/pause, switching tracks, volume and the M button to return to the main menu. The controls are quite easy to find by touch without taking the player out of your pocket or bag.

On the left side there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a slot for microSD cards. Accordingly, the initial memory capacity of 16/32 GB is easily expandable.

At the bottom you can find a microUSB port for charging and connecting to a computer. In the past, the company liked to use a proprietary connector for these purposes, so the transition to a generally accepted standard is very welcome.

Control and interface

Here, perhaps, lies the main drawback of the device. It's all about resistive touch screen. We are already so accustomed to using modern smartphones that the outdated technology initially confuses us. The display responds very reluctantly to touches, and some actions have to be repeated several times to achieve the desired result. It took me a couple of days to get used to the controls. Then it becomes easier, but a sediment still remains. There is also a positive side to this: you can work with such a screen while wearing gloves, which is quite important in light of the approaching cold weather.

The screen itself pleases with wide viewing angles. The manufacturer does not specify the type of matrix used, but this is clearly not a budget TN. Also noted high level brightness: the display does not “blind” even in the sun. Resolution is QVGA, which is not very fashionable by modern standards, but is appropriate for a music player where this parameter is secondary.

The player interface is quite nice and somewhat reminiscent of iOS. There is also a home screen where the time is displayed and an animated splash screen, and several pages with various icons that give access to all functions and applications.

A very interesting feature is the dynamic change of screensavers throughout the day, depending on the time. There are also two themes to choose from.

In the settings you can change the interface language, including Russian. Another useful feature is to rotate the screen 180 degrees. It will be useful for those who find the original location of the control buttons inconvenient.

Music

The player supports the most popular formats: MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, WAV - the only thing missing is ALAC. Songs are sorted according to standard criteria - artist, album, genre and year. For those who find it more convenient to navigate through folders, there is a file manager.

The playback screen is made in a very original way - in the form of a rotating vinyl record player, on which the album cover is depicted. When you tap on the screen, controls appear that duplicate the capabilities of physical buttons. Here you can add a song to your favorites, make a “bookmark” at the desired moment of the song, enable repetition of a certain segment, or go to settings.

Support for song lyrics in LDB and LRC formats comes in handy. Just upload the files with the lyrics to the appropriate directory - and you're done. The words will scroll automatically as they play.

A special source of pride for COWON developers is the wide range of sound customization options. All of them are combined in a section called JetEffect 5. At the user's service 44 presets. This includes separate settings for genres, as well as functions for stereo widening, bass enhancement, surround sound creation and various reverb options.

There are also 4 user presets that can be edited to your liking using the five-band equalizer and adding the aforementioned effects. All this opens up wide scope for experiments with sound.

Other options

There are them here Very a lot of! Let's start by looking at photos and videos. Supported formats include JPG, AVI, WMV and ASF. Probably few people will need it this opportunity, but its presence cannot be superfluous.

And now it’s even cooler: there’s a flash player! Yes, a player of the same swf files with games and cartoons about Masyanya that were popular 10-15 years ago. Just out of curiosity, I even downloaded one of these and checked it – it really works. Basically, you can download several toys to kill time. What about Yeti Sports?

There are also more useful built-in applications. For example, a calculator, stopwatch and text notes. All this can be useful under certain conditions, when you have a player with you, but no smartphone - say, while jogging or in the gym.

Another unexpected, but quite useful feature is the presence voice recorder(yes, this player also has a built-in microphone). And finally - FM receiver with a frequency range of 87.5 - 108 MHz.

General impressions

COWON M2 It has modest dimensions and an almost imperceptible weight of 75 grams; it fits easily into any pocket or bag without creating unnecessary interference.

Another undeniable advantage is incredibly long battery life. According to the manufacturer - whole 90 hours! This fact is confirmed in practice: after a week of active use, the player was discharged by less than half. By the way, the battery is completely saturated from USB port occurs in five and a half hours, and from the outlet - in only three hours.

But the main advantage, of course, is sound. This is what makes COWON products stand out from its competitors. The player plays very brightly and at the same time balanced. Low Frequencies are presented with extreme energy, and the mids and highs have excellent detail. Tuning lovers also have plenty to roam around - the device offers very wide possibilities for fine-tuning the sound.

COWON M2 Available in two colors: black and dark grey. There are also two capacity options – 16 and 32 GB (don’t forget about support for microSD cards).

As a result, we have a compact player with a strict design, rich functionality and an incredibly long battery life. Among the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting the not very responsive resistive screen, which is fully compensated by the bright, high-quality sound.

Big Brother: Cowon X9

If the M2 seems small to some, it doesn't matter. Take a closer look at X9.

Musical tank

At the time of its release - and perhaps to this day - Cowon X9 was longest playing music player in the world. The stated operating time is 110 hours while listening to music. This is a week on one charge, which no one has ever dreamed of. modern smartphone even under similar conditions of use.

This “brick” is designed to be used on trips and not to be left at home. Well, for the lazy ones who forget to charge their gadgets on a regular basis.

Sound and millions of settings

The main advantage of Cowon players is the sound quality and its finest tuning for yourself. No other manufacturer of music players, let alone smartphones, has so many configurations and capabilities. I’ll say more: even for iPhone there are no applications yet that provide at least 50% of this functionality.

From a multi-band equalizer to special add-ons with specific sound enhancements, Cowon X9 is capable of revealing any music track from all possible angles, pumping up any headphones. It is this, and not the design or display, that the line is so famous.

This is partly why I can’t say exactly WHAT specific sound the Cowon X9 produces. There are so many technologies and “improvers” here that everyone can achieve from the player exactly the style that they consider standard: from strong bass to rich midrange frequencies. What am I saying - at Cowon you can do both!

How is this player useful for an iPhone owner?

Don't forget that out of the box these players support uncompressed Flac formats and the rare OGG Vorbis. Cowon X9 also easily and naturally plays tracks purchased from the iTunes Store - with the exception of what was downloaded from Apple Music(there is DRM protection there).

The memory capacity in my model is only 16 gigabytes, but this is fixable. The player supports memory cards up to 64 gigabytes, which can be purchased for just a couple of thousand rubles. This way, you can carry your entire media library with you, and free up space on your iPhone for other data.

What to take from this couple

It made me smile that expensive Hi-Fi players do not have even a tenth of what is in Cowon X9. Sorry, but sometimes they don’t even have that kind of sound.

When choosing between these two players, you need to decide for yourself. What is more important: battery life and additional multimedia functions - or exclusively music “features” at a low price?

If you want everything and more, a kind of multimedia combine, then you need to look towards the Cowon X9, which will play videos, show photos, and work the whole way on one charge.

Economical option - take Cowon M2 With maximum volume built-in memory, add to this the maximum supported card microSD memory. This will cost less, and ultimately cover the topic of portable music one hundred percent.

As a result, Cowon M2 has been accompanying me on all my trips for many years. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart to anyone who is dissatisfied with the sound of their iPhone or wants to pull out their music library on a separate device!

website Hi-End player manufacturers hate them because they are inexpensive and sound just as good. Cowon M2: a model for everyone Back in 2007, COWON released a revolutionary product at that time - the D2 player with a touch-screen color display, excellent sound and an abundance of multimedia capabilities. A lot of time has passed since then, during which...
Music lovers all over the world love Koreans for their responsible approach to the high-quality sound of their audio equipment. Cowon has once again delighted the whole world by releasing a new video player, Cowon D20. We bring to your attention a detailed review.

Externally, the new product is not much different from its predecessor – the Cowon D2+ player. Has the lanyard eyelet just replaced the slot speaker with a thin metal mesh. According to manufacturing engineers, it is perfect for those who like to listen to the radio.

A resistive screen with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels is quite enough for control and configuration.

Manufacturers have conveniently duplicated the touch control with mechanical buttons located at the top, at the end of the case. The buttons located next to the slider can pause, rewind, and control volume without unlocking the screen, which is very convenient, especially in the winter. After all, you don’t have to take off your gloves to press the button.
The bottom end panel has an MMC, SD and SDHC memory card slot that supports up to 32 gigabytes. A headphone and microphone jack, as well as several ports - for a line-out connector and miniUSB - are located on the left end surface.

Detailed description

Scope of delivery of Cowon D20

The main changes related to the electronics of the device led to a natural improvement. Thanks to a new, improved processor and a more capacious battery, the player's operating time has been increased. The new Cowon D20 is ready to delight its owner with continuous music playback for 90 hours. The processor also copes well with video files. They can be viewed for at least 13 hours. But Cowon products are valued all over the world not for this, or even for the notepad, with the ability to type printed information in it using the screen.

Useful additions include a built-in voice recorder, calculator, FM radio and stopwatch. This allows you to stop carrying many devices with you, replacing them with just one favorite player in your pocket. The add-ons are quite convenient to use, and they are made of high quality.

Amenities include many of the Cowon company's signature features, which have made the products appreciated by true music lovers. Player, as in previous version, supports BBE+ technology. This improves the sound when playing songs. After all, when adjusting sound parameters, the player has a five-band equalizer, as well as a set of JetEffect effects. The new Cowon D20 is omnivorous as always. It easily accepts almost all music formats, including lossless. Thanks to the high output power of 29 milliwatts/channel, you can listen to music even in particularly noisy places, such as public transport. Everything related to sound in this player is truly top notch.

In conclusion, I would like to summarize all of the above. Cowon D20 turned out good device line of portable players from a Korean company. A very capacious battery, excellent sound quality, isn’t this what it’s worth buying an mp3 player for?

Music is an integral part of our lives, creating and maintaining mood, inspiring and, at the same time, calming. The opportunity to get in touch with the world of music at any time and anywhere is provided by mp3 players, which have been an integral part of the youth subculture for ten years now.

Today we will look at the Cowon iAudio D20 mp3 player. This is absolutely new model famous trademark from South Korea, specializing in the production of electronic household audio and video equipment for the middle price category of consumers.

The player arrived in stores in three modifications with a memory capacity of 8, 16 and 32 Gigabytes, respectively.

Equipment and design

The player is packaged in a neat box, opening which you can find user instructions in several languages, ordinary USB cord and headphones. It’s worth noting right away that the headphones are standard, so those who are used to listening to high-quality music FLAC format, it is recommended to purchase the ears separately.

If you pick up a new one, you will immediately notice its small size. For comparison, you can take a matchbox and see for yourself, the difference between them will not be significant.

On the front side of the player there is a large LCD display. On the side there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Nearby there is a USB connector and an output for connecting to a TV.

On the top side of the case there are rockers that either block the player or connect it. Quite a convenient thing, it should be noted.

Also, on top you can see a miniature microphone that allows the player to function as a voice recorder. And finally, three buttons, one of which includes the player menu, and the other two adjust the sound volume in one direction or another, or serve to switch tracks.

On the bottom side of the player you can find a slot for an SD card, in our case 8 GB. The back side of the player is polished to a high shine without any inscriptions.

Taking a quick look at the player, you can immediately note the very good quality plastic from which the player is made.

Flaws

It feels like a piece of soap in your hands, that is, it is very slippery, which again can be noted as a minus. The display, which is an LCD matrix, is also too sensitive to fingerprints. That is, an ordinary touch screen, which today is already considered an outdated model, since it is simply impossible to do without a stylus. This is also a big minus for those who are used to using smartphones with a touchscreen.

However, overall the display is not bad. At least outdoors, in conditions of sufficient sunlight, you can use the device without any discomfort.

Main characteristics

The new player plays video, so you can turn this device into a small TV. The image quality on the display is quite good. The same can be said about the sound that comes from the miniature external speaker.

As for music, it plays simply great, especially if you install the AIMP player and connect high-quality headphones.

Due to its miniature size, it is practically not felt when worn, say, in a trouser or shirt pocket. That is, you can just walk and enjoy high-quality music, as if coming from outside. It is precisely this illusion of music surrounding everything and absorbing everything that makes this player good.

For those audiophiles who have previously used previous Cowon models, they will not see anything new in the menu of the updated player. The only thing worth warning is that for ease of use, it is strongly recommended, again, to use a stylus.

Once again I would like to emphasize that the player is equipped with a very good voice recorder, the function of which can be selected in the main menu. The player has a very good stopwatch, which will certainly appeal to fans of morning time trials.

In addition, in the menu you can find such additional features as a calculator, radio and drawing tool.

conclusions

To summarize, it can be noted that the new player from Kovon turned out to be successful, with a good signature sound. It is also worth noting that the operating time on a single battery charge is ninety hours in music listening mode, and up to thirteen hours in video playback mode, which is simply an amazing result.

Small size and weight, which is only 86 grams, allows you to completely ignore the device. And for those who don’t like monotony, you can change the themes on the screen.

You can get used to it. It's annoying that the SD card keeps falling off from time to time. If you hit it a little, “the card has been removed..” and it doesn’t remember the position. The sensor is normal, a “traveling option” - whatever you want, you poke it, the main thing is to do the calibration with a stylus and not with your finger - then the sensor works with a bang
- Everything you need for a simple MP3 player. Washed it in the machine. Dried it - it works.
- Sound is worse than D2\D2+, No Bluetooth for headset
Innovation to the Classics.

I recently came across a Korean-made player, COWON D20 8Gb, which is an updated version of the cult player COWON D. I’ll say a few words about innovations. When viewing and testing the player, the following was revealed. From its ancestor D2, the player adopted only the appearance, and then only partially. Externally, the place for attaching the lanyard has been converted into a loudspeaker, that is, there is no fastening for the lanyard left.
- support of many formats; efficient processor; logically understandable interface; unified usb connector; high-quality sound; SD support;
- plastic case; does not work 80-90 hours continuously; medium volume; partially English interface; not fast solid-state memory;

I’ve been using it since June (since the 10th). the player is good, I connected them to Sony headphones MDR-XB500. excellent bass headphones. When listening, it seemed that the sound was not rich, and in some places even terrible. I was about to go and take it in, because everyone says that the sound should be even MORE POWERFUL than that of the J3. I had the opposite. I came across a review that was slightly lower than mine (1 or 2 reviews lower). he wrote that you need to delete the file from the player://system/param.cfg, and not make a mistake with the region.
- -long operating time; -appearance; -build quality; -not all players eat SD cards); -I have SDXC 64Gb; -sound
- -the native speaker is worse than that of Cowon J3; -interface/menu/navigation - there are no words, only emotions - saved the stylus for resistive displays); -minimum track control buttons. To be honest, after the same J3, it was not customary to see the absence of buttons for switching tracks and a play/pause button; -glossy, recessed display. If you want to stick on a protective film, then look either directly under the model, or cut it out yourself.

I read a lot that the menu is not logical and the screen is terrible, partly this is either deceit, or someone’s harmfulness and pickiness about everything and everyone. Everything in the menu is clear and understandable, and the settings do not cause any difficulties. As for the screen (of course I would like more =)), the sensitivity is at the proper level, and you can’t call it AMOLED)), just good screen. In general, the impressions of the player are pleasant, you quickly get used to the shortcomings.
- - Great sound; - Build quality; - Battery; - Availability of a slot for a standard memory card; - Speaker; - Easy access to the player via PC; - Many sound settings; - Add. options, such as timer, notepad, etc.
