5.0 out of 5 stars Music never sounded so good!, October 30, 2003

All I can say is WOW! This little player is incredible. The controls are easy to use, the sound is beyond belief and the storage is very dynamic. The only thing I didn't like were the headphones that were included. They sound great, but it seems as though they were tested in elephant ear holes. Way too big for my ears. I picked up some wrap-around earphones for running and use the included ones for quality (no movement) listening. I did about 10 hours of research before buying this player. I compared it with the iRiver 390 512mb and decided this was a better deal, design and a lot more intuitive.

5.0 out of 5 stars This player kicks ass!, January 20, 2004

I did a lot of research before making my purchase. I looked at equivalent offerings from I-River, Mpio, Creative and Philips. The CW300 was streets ahead.

1) The build quality is superior
2) It is very light and has no moving parts
3) 512MB is ample storage space
4) The radio reception is very good
5) The supplied Cresyn earphones have the best sound quality and clarity of any earphones I have ever tried (although they are not the smallest or most discrete pair I have seen)
6) 30 hours of play time from one AA battery is a pretty accurate claim by the manufacturer
7) The menu system is intuitive and simple to use

If you need to carry your whole music collection around with you, only the iPod is better otherwise this is top of the class.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective item, defective tech support, November 18, 2004

This item works fine as a small portable radio but myself and many others who bought this item found that the flash memory was defective. Unfortunately the store I bought it from will no longer accept it for return and Cowon's tech support is non-existant. I would recommend you shop for a different audio player.
