[the original connection] design

from 2008 August for the first time open, Cowon S9 has attracted attention, official provided product photos very, very attractive.until the first time to get this long - awaited small fogeys, immediately into a complex, on the one hand it is lightweight, hands on the very delicate; on the other hand they have the impression that, with the official photo nice metal ultra-slim, bezukoriznenny screen than real machine is just graphitic color of plastic material, screen did not expect so much.Although you can laughs we look forward to too high, but other touch this real machine do and we like.

actually playing a few days later, once again confirmed previous impressions, S9 to cheap far more than dry-cleaned.won”t talk about dry-cleaned, S9 other design fairly l”attentif, positive no key is really very bold design, all hardware switches, key is moved to S9 above and below, including the play / pause, volume, the next first / on a first, power / key locks.The use of standard USB port, it is worth encouraging the design, whether to synchronize files, ladegerate, as long as a standard Mini USB line cannot be done, don”t worry about losing private draht.

3.5mm mic. Khong is located in ultra-slim the bottom of the ComponentsWindows well, it is very convenient.But the microphone is in the back of the bottom of the normal operation S9, easily tryin microphone impact sound recordists.The overall design, you can use the well to describe, look and rovmovable not imagine the world, but DialKeys design l”attentif, satisfactory.

screen

Cowon S9 the biggest selling point is that 3.3 big AMOLED screen, resolution 480 x 272, visual feel really is a leading, pixel very delicate, colorful lebende, to look at the movies and photo shuang degree level.We strongly recommend that other PMP manufacturer should observe how S9 the design of the first time, the first time that use PMP movies is very happy.This movie 3.3 screen itself is also a capacitive touch pad, the operation interface see the following paragraph.

interface

back to well.At first glance, S9 the operation interface is beautiful, most of the icon pattern also yes, each project clearly landmark understand it.makedisc configuration not confusing, but also according to customise, very bookin.

However, this entire interface design has highlighted a very basic question, it was not home or back button, each time you want to leave the page, to point corner of your screen that very small m button.In addition there are some icon pattern and is not very intuitionistic you can guess that is something this part can only rely on the patience to overcome (one point take a look at). interface a bit too bookin, and is not a point on start play, but is to hold down a will, or point two only will start, this is probably in order to avoid accidentally press, but the actual used up on the contrary, some awkward.

overall, this set of touch interface also a decent level, but wouldn”t praise-worthy.with other PMP products, the interface is imperfect can rely on time overcome (habits it, or sell it).Of course, we still hope that each PMP operation interface are very beautiful, intuitionistic, well, after all, this is a player, is not a computer that is installed with Linux light province pen electricity, do not want to spend too much time in learning how to grasp it.

sound / films quality

this part of the test and has not been what productivities audio analyzer, we only used with Apple, Sony product comparison.S9 quality quite bass strong, smooth, treble clear Fuwa tone.Listening to pelagibacter various types, a variety of styles of music, our S9 performance can be said is very satisfied with.But what format, quality performance are quite good, Cowon clearly has good intention, as long as you throw into file quality constituencies is too poor, S9 can performance.S9 Bluetooth headset, this point very convenient.

In movie playback,
illiant audio when kaoshan, coupled with the AMOLED of kamochi, films is to enjoy.of course on the screen size also could not be designed for movie playback design efficient compared to, but as a PMP, is already very sufficient.

aggregate

see here, i believe you should have at the end.If you really are passionate about appearance and interface S9 can only say sorry; if you care about the quality and films, S9 you demanding ears and eyes.As regards, also in a wait - and we look at you cannot accept some inconvenience to the operation interface and cheap appearance.

said S9 fact, there are many advantages, you can use two - day above battery range Airbus yet built, great AMOLED screen, bulletproof sound and light weight, are very worthy of mention.In addition to the appearance and interface, the biggest drawback of is probably price, to 8 GB $ 199.99 (rmb1, 364), 16 GB $ 239.99 (rmb1 2,663.7) pricing, we hope that better quality.Cowon S9 is worth, it is recommended that wait for it to special offers.
