COWON M2 32GB Silver

COWON, a South Korean company, is very keen on making handy MP3 players that give their listeners a unique audio experience. The COWON M2 not only lets you listen to music in all popular formats (including the lossless FLAC format), but you will also be able to play video files and view photos or texts. Also included by popular demand are voicemail and FM radio, which are often missing in more expensive smartphones.

At the top of the device is a superb 2.8-inch touch screen displaying a very fine 320 x 240 pixel resolution. The cleverly designed interface excels in total clarity and you will easily be able to choose your favourite song, even with a large music library.

The excellent sound reproduction is enhanced by a new set of JetEffect 5.0 features and a number of preset equalisers. In addition, this model boasts 32GB of storage capacity. With its pleasant curves, the device is just 13.8mm thin and weighs in at a decent 75 grams. This has a huge, positive impact on the device's battery life, which allows for a 90-hour, luxury music experience. This is the ideal companion for the gym, running, and also for longer commutes to school or to work.
