Muy buen DAP.

Reviewed in Spain on May 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

Este Cowon es un buen DAP dentro de su gama (media):

- Es muy pequeño. La construcción es sólida. Se siente grato.
- Se controla a través de la pantalla táctil (de respuesta no muy rápida) y botones laterales.
- La duración de la batería es inmensa.
- Admite microSD de hasta 128Gb (Fat32). Aunque la actualización de la biblioteca es lenta.
Hasta la fecha no ha salido un software que permita usar formato eXFat, ni agilizar el uso de dicha microSD.
- El sonido es muy bueno. Tiene un fondo silencioso sobre el cual aparecen las texturas con claridad.
- Gracias a los Jet Effect 5 permite una gran personalización del sonido, lo cual se agradece.

Cierto que, comparado con su hermano mayor el P1, se nota la diferencia en la mucho más densidad de texturas y calidad del sonido
de este último. Es normal: vale casi el triple !

Conclusión: Es, para mí, un muy buen DAP de gama media.

and sound quality was better than any other mp3 player I had used

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2016

When my trusty Cowon S9 finally gave up I required a replacement, and being a fan of Cowon's BBE equaliser software I decided to look at the same company. I had not intended to choose a FLAC player, as I don't have any lossless music, but I noticed that the reviews for this player were all positive, and it was priced in the same bracket as the S9 in 2010 when I bought that.

The S9 had suffered from a very clunky and unintuitive UI, and a very limited playlist capacity- there was only one customisable playlist which could only manage c. 200 songs. The BBE equaliser was superb and highly customisable, and sound quality was better than any other mp3 player I had used.

The Plenue D is however in every regard a superior machine. First the negatives- it doesn't make breakfast, it doesn't feature a self-aware artificial intelligence and left to its own devices it will not even attempt household chores. Really, there are no negative points which I can identify.

The positives, in no specific order-

-Aesthetically it is very pleasing, and a good size for most pockets.
-The UI is superb and intuitive, and very responsive.
-There are now 10 customisable playlists, and they can handle at least 326 tracks.
-The BBE equaliser, while having fewer presets, is even more customisable than on the S9, allowing users to hear music exactly how they like it.
-Sound quality is, to my ear, perfect.

I won't comment on FLAC playback. This is only an entry-level FLAC player, and priced accordingly, but from what I can tell (there are 4 sample tracks pre-installed) it is very good. But I bought it for mp3 playback, and it excels at that.

I would highly recommend this player to anyone looking for top sound quality on mp3 playback and a very nice gadget.

Note- my player arrived with firmware version 1.11 installed; the up-to-date version is 1.14 which can be downloaded from the Cowon site and installed very easily.

当初、説明書らしきものがないので設定に苦労しました。
音質は、自分好みの音が設定可能です。
手持ちのウオー〇〇ンよりも音質はいいと感じられますが、使い勝手は若干ウオー〇〇ンかな・・・
やはり、肝心なのは音なので　　最近、こちらばかり使っております。

Genialer Sound

Reviewed in Germany on September 2, 2016

Der Player ist einfach nur genial. Die Bedienung ist einfach gestaltet und man findet sich fast sofort zurecht. Etwas verwirrend sind am Anfang zwei Dinge:
Um die Einstellungen aufzurufen muss man erst mal ein Musikstück abspielen (ein paar Demotitel sind bereits drauf).
Damit die SD-Karte erkannt wird, muss man sie im laufenden Betrieb einlegen (steht leider nicht in der Anleitung).

Ein besonderes Lob verdient der Equalizer: Er schafft es sogar poplige MP3 Titel klingen zu lassen als wäre ich direkt im Stadion, in einer Kathedrale oder in der Konzerthalle. Die üblichen Presets sind auch drauf, aber es lohnt sich, alle einmal auszuprobieren.
Schön wäre es jetzt noch, wenn man einzelnen Songs einen Equalizer zuweisen könnte, aber das zähle ich mal unter Luxusprobleme.

Und ganz wichtig: Passende HiRes Kopfhörer sind Pflicht. Standardgeräte für 10€ kann man auch betreiben, aber die klingen bei Weitem nicht so gut. Aber wer sich so einen Player kauft, wird sicher nicht bei den Kofhörern sparen. Ein Netzteil ist nicht dabei, nur ein Ladekabel. Aber dank Micro-USB Anschluss wäre auch das Kabel nicht erforderlich, sowas hat man heute als Handy / Smartphonebesitzer ohnehin im Haus. Das ist auch praktisch auf Reisen, denn man muss nur ein Ladegerät und ein Kabel mitnehmen.

Ich hab den Player erst einmal aufgeladen, aber ich bin sicher, dass die 100 Stunden, die versprochen werden auch gehalten werden.

Auf den Bildern wirkt er vielleicht etwas pummelig, aber er ist wirklich schön klein und liegt gut in der Hand. Nur die beiden Ecken oben Rechts sind etwas sptiz. Wem das nicht gefällt, der kann sie etwas abrunden.

Consigliatissimo

Reviewed in Italy on November 4, 2016

Prodotto rispondente alla descrizione. Ottimo sotto tutti i punti di vista anche esteticamente. Piacevole anche al tatto e non scivoloso, fantastico da portare in tasca anche della camicia per le dimensioni e peso contenuti. Qualità audio sopra la media ad un ottimo prezzo. Sicuramente meglio dei vari IPod e Lettori Sony. Unico difetto l'interfaccia un po semplice e poco intuitiva. Per il resto consigliatissimo.

イコライザーを楽しむDAPです！

Reviewed in Japan on May 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

「この価格なら」と妥協されているレビューが多いので、具体的に「何処が悪いのか」も下に書かせていただきます。

<注意>
1.SDカードは「FAT32」でフォーマットが必要。(64gb以上)
本体ではできないのでPCでフォーマットアプリを探して作業する必要があります。

2.フォーマット後「Music」フォルダーをつくり、その中に音楽ファイルをドロップすれば認識されます。

3.フリーズの際のリセットは＋−ボタンを同時長押しです。

<良い点>
1.大容量バッテリー
本当に50時間持ちます。
(CD音源、vol.40、画面オフにて実験。約60時間持ちました)

2.パワー
音量を上げても音痩せが少ないです。
よっぽど能率の悪いヘッドホンでもない限り、アンプは不要に思いました。

3.進化した豊富なイコライザー
従来のイコライザーだけではなく、ワイドな表現、環境エコー、3Dサラウンドにできたりとかなり豊富です。
〇ォークマンのVTPサラウンドのような気持ち悪い表現とは、全くの別物です。
ただ残念なのが、イコライザーの表示が「バー」調整ではないことです。

4.プレイリストが本体で簡単に作れる。
ファイル名の変更もできます。最大10セット分作れます。

5.曲の検索機能がある。

<不満な点>
1.イコライザー無し状態での音質が悪い(気がします)。
売りである「Jeteffect機能」との差をつけるために、わざと悪くしているのではないか？
と疑ってしまうレベルです。

2.ボリュームが100段階あるが、vol.1の音量が少々大きい。

3.タッチパネルの処理速度と誤作動。
スクロールでカクつきます。画面の切り替わりも0.3秒くらい待たされます。
画面から指を離す際に誤認が起き、画面が勝手に急速スクロールしてしまうことが多々あります。

4.ファイル名変換が出来ますが、英語が韓国語(ハングル)しか選択できません。

Quel Geek

Nearly ruined by the unhelpful user guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2018

UPDATE 2: I'm not revising the number of stars but I do want to emphasise that the interface is no better than adequate. Navigating 350+ artists or 1,000+ albums, or 8,500+ tracks is sloooooooooooooooow. Finding a track on my ancient Sony NW-HD5 is way quicker.

UPDATE: This is a complete re-write of my original damning 2-star review.

Originally I wrote: "Sonically brilliant, and amazing battery life. The interface is adequate;I've seen many worse." That stands.

My major grumble, for which I originally deducted three stars, was the time it takes the Plenue D to boot and reindex its content. With a 128Gb SD card it takes about 55 seconds. Having turned it off accidentally a couple of times in the first three days I was on the verge of returning it.

I was aware that it has a sleep mode but from reading various forum postings sleep mode sounded power-hungry. It didn't seem very useful. But I was on the verge of getting rid of it anyway so I decided to measure the power consumption. I fully charged it and turned the sleep mode on, then left it in a desk drawer for 10 days. After 10 days (240 hours) it still had over half its charge. So sleeping runs the battery down less than 1/5th as fast as running. Or to put it a little differently, if you use it daily with sleep mode turned on to avoid reindexing, instead of 100 hours of playback you get almost 80 hours.

That is still pretty excellent. It certainly meets my needs. I wanted a player to use on epic transcontinental road trips. Assuming I use it 8 hours a day that is 10 days between charges.

Why couldn't the user guide tell us that? And why is sleep mode not the default?

PLENUDE D: OTRO MIEMBRO DE LA FAMILIA DE GRAN CALIDAD

Reviewed in Spain on July 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Es un reproductor en la línea de lo que ofrece COWON. Es de construcción robusta y fácil de usar. El sonido es profundo con unos graves medios y unos agudos un poco más pronunciados. La posibilidad de elegir distintos parámetros del equalizador es muy amplia en los predefinidos así como la posibilidad de que los establezca el propio usuario. Se trata en definitiva del hermano pequeño del PLENUDE 1 qué también tengo y cuyo sonido es verdaderamente espectacular. Me gusta mucho sus pequeñas dimensiones para poder llevarlo sin problema en cualquier bolsillo. Buena compra. El producto llegó en perfecto estado.
