The Cowon iAudio G2 delivers great sound quality and sound-enhancement options, plays protected WMA files, and features line-in recording.

The Cowon iAudio G2 is a bit large for a flash-based player, lacks an FM tuner, and most notably, uses the slow USB 1.1 protocol for transfers.

The Cowon iAudio G2's terrific audio quality and ease of use overcome its lack of USB 2.0 connectivity.

Great sound (output) ; User customizable 5 band Equalizer ; Other sound processing options, though the EQ is most effective ; Gets pretty loud without distortion ; AA battery means it'll last longer louder than a AAA battery (I use NiMH rechargables) ;...

(nitpicking...) ; I haven't used the headphones it comes with. I cannot comment on them ; USB 1.1 speeds not nearly as fast as 2.0, though I don't really care about this at all ; I'd prefer a line out rather than the line in. (to hook up to a stereo,...

Quality. Battery life

No case, clip, necklace strap. Slow transfers

for reference, the G2 is a stripped down version of the G3, with USB 1.1, and no radio. This is a flash based mp3 player, meaning no skipping no matter how hazardous the environment in which it is put in. For the person which random shutdowns when...

hope that helped

This thing rocks

I bought it for when i go snowboarding but it evidentally can't handle it because almost every time I would land a jump it would go....BEEP....and then just shut off, then i would have to open my pocket and turn it back on.(And yes, I did use the hold...

Sounds great - perfect decoding, manual graphic EQ, works in XP without drivers, 20+ hours of loud play on a standard battery, ogg vorbis support, microphone AND line in, easy interface

Filling the whole gigabyte takes 20 minutes with the slow USB 1.1. You can't just grab tunes and go, you have to think ahead

This thing ROCKS! has awsome booming bass and nice highs. Ofcourse i'm using SONY Fontopia Series MDREX71SL Gold-plated headphones so that adds alot.It also has a really easy menu for finding your favorite songs

Pretty much none for the average user. I bought this in the first place for snowboarding but it seems this mp3 player just isnt up for the challenge, off of some big jumps it will give a beep and just shut off which is dissapointing. I havn't given up...

uses stardard mini USB cable (included) ; easily fits in your pocket ; good life using AA battery ; sounds good with included ear buds ; can slow down or speed up playback ; built in mic for dictation ; good controls ; music transfer software works fine

none I can think of

This is an absolutely wonderful device. It sounds great, the screen is very bright, easy to use menus, has tons of options for customizing the sound. great battery life...I love this player

USB 1.1 makes it a little slow to transfer files (about 1 minute per album) Doesn't bother me much though with all of the other features
