I have the AKG K702 headphone and I can say the sound quality is WAYYY better than the iPod Classic I had. Not 100% sure I like the touch feature but I’ll prolly get used. It just feel slow and unaccurate to me.The biggest cons is to have no expension slot as 32gb is small to me since I Have over 50Gb mp3.

Great review. I think this pretty much sold it to me in the end. I was after something to replace my 11 year old CD player, which still works fairly well, but I wanted something that supported more than just MP3. (Mostly FLAC and Ogg.) Plus video sounded like a nifty idea as well. I looked around for quite a while, and considered players from Philips and Samsung also, but after some stuff I read, I think the S9 is the way to go for me. So yay! Hopefully it will be with me next week!

“RadioThis trickles into the auto program features where it almost seems to just fill the program slots with random stations. The closest station to me, no more than a mile or two away, was not correctly detected by the auto program feature, but instead selected on notch above what it was supposed to be. “Isn’t it supposed to add all station that work around you and organize it by lowest to highest number.

About the complaints concerning the UI… why didn’t the reviewer mention the fact that the UI is completely customisable? I’ve found different versions of everything for the S9 – main menu, music, brower, video, text reader, etc – and it only takes a few seconds to download them and put them to use. I never even look at the original Cowon designed UI anymore.

Well, looks like they fucked up the recording function again. Guess I wont be purchasing this now.If they actually had a brain, they’d drop WMA and switch the recording format to something decent like FLAC or Vorbis so that it wont require ANY licence fee.Idiots.Your not getting me as a customer until you stop locking me into a format I don’t want.
