Rating: Summary: Can't go wrong with this one Review: Bought the cw200 256mb player a couple of weeks ago. After spending about 2 weeks researching all the possible mp-3 players out there, I went with the cw200. mainly because of its size(small enough and light enough to work out with and not know it's there). Here are my specific thoughts for what's it's worth. Absolutely awsome sound(even with the stock ear buds it came with). i bought a pair of jenson behind the neck headphones and did notice a deeper sound, but hey, that's what my stereo is for. It is small!! no kidding, about the size of a pack of gum. easy to use and light. nice case comes with it. software is extremely user friendly - can download mp3 onto it without any reading of the manual - it's that intuitive. download time is quick. i loaded about 3 cds of music in less than a couple of minutes. still have over half the memory left. FM reception is awsome as is the voice recorder - all features i wasn't looking for but am glad to have. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TO ANYONE - IN FACT AM BUYING ANOTHER ONE FOR MY WIFE. Some things to know: memory is not expandable - so get a little more memory than you think you need(i got the 256mb one and from my estimates, i will be able to get about 4 hours of music on it). Only accepts mp3 format, not WAV - which also explains why the sound quality is so good. Doesn't use musicmatch :( musicmatch doesn't even offer a download to make it compatable. that's the only tiny criticism - i use musicmatch for all my mp3 libraries, so downloading to the cw200 requires one extra step of using their software to download - minor inconvenience. BOTTOM LINE, IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT - BUY THIS ONE - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
Rating: Summary: great mp3 just what I needed Review: Extremely easy set up and use. All I have to do is click and drag songs from my music and drop into player file. I can change songs quickly and easily. Sound quality is great and it is plenty loud enough to hear while I'm running on the treadmill. It does have a user defined volume level if you want to set your own. FM radio is a good feature, reception is ok but not great. The earphones that came with it were too large for my ears(I'm petite)so I had to use my own. That was the only negative thing about my purchase. I would highly recommend this player.
Rating: Summary: How can all that sound come from something this small? Review: Wow!! I recieved my iAudio player a few days ago, and just love it. Everyone I show it to is amazed...and that's even before they HEAR it! The sound is fantastic! The FM radio and the voice recorder both have great sound quality, the sound of the MP3 player is equally as good! I am still learning some of the finer details of using some features. For me, the manual instructions for uploading MP3s made it look a lot harder than it actually is. At any rate, it's a great product. My first MP3, and a great choice!
Rating: Summary: Great!!! iAUDIO Review: I couldn¡¯t resist writing a perfect review after using iAUDIO CW200 for about a week. I purchased it through Amazon about a week ago and CW200 became a big part of my life. When I first opened the box, the first impression I got was it was much smaller than I expected from the pictures on Amazon. My second question became; how could this contain MP3 player, Voice Recorder, FM radio and 256MB of memory in such a tiny thing? Wow! It blew off all my concerns. The sound quality is perfect! The FM reception is better than I¡¯ve ever experienced with other MP3 players. Voice Recording is very easy and clear. The manual was easy to read. Two software programs included were superb. If you guys are considering portable MP3 players, buy this one! Nothing can beat CW200. Go JetAudio!!!
Rating: Summary: Very good product ! Review: Excellent sound and compact size. Voice recording is very clear. I am very satisfied with it.
Rating: Summary: What a Player! Review: Looks cool. Easy to use. I think the beauty of the CW200 was sound quality. EQ in MP3 player was exellent. Even voice recording feature is probably better than typical IC recorders in the market. And JetAudio that came with the product was another reason you should get this one.
Rating: Summary: Can JetAudio make a new waterproof MP3 Player for a surfer? Review: It¡¯s just great happiness. I¡¯ll tell you why. I like snowboarding, inline skating, surfing, you name any kinds of sports. As soon as I received cw200 I went out to the city park for inline-skating, listening to the great music from CW200. My happiness of inline-skating doubled. NO! NO! Tripled !! So did snowboarding. No matter where I go snowboarding or inline-skating, CW200 goes with me. Sometimes it is in my pocket. Sometimes it is around my neck. When I was inline-skating I dropped it once. I was so shocked. I was not worried about myself being hurt or bruised. My whole concern was on iAudio. I really love it. But it was alright with just a small dent. When I picked it up, it was still playing music as if nothing had happened. It¡¯s alive !!!!!. It was so robust. My last wish could be to carry this to the beach. Do you think I¡¯m crazy? No! Just because I really love this one, I¡¯d like to listen to music through iAudio when I am surfing. Dear jetAudio, Inc, could you make a waterproof MP3 Player for a surfer?
Rating: Summary: A Choice Well Made Review: Others had covered the features of this little wonder pretty well, so I expected to be satisfied with this product. I did not expect to be amazed and delighted with it. Unlike most who were looking for an MP3 player, I was looking for a digital voice recorder. The few others that I'd tried had poor sound quality, very little memory, and poor battery life. This iAudio gem is astounding in the quality of the microphone, the crystal clear sound, the roomy 128mb memory, and long battery life. The sound is much better than I expected, especially in such a very small, convenient device. The FM radio is far stronger than many I've heard on larger players AND recordings can be made from the radio! As an MP3 player the value for the money is excellent and the four folders are great for separating albums or making playlists. The manual is okay -- all the necessary info is there but rather minimalistic. The software is good and pretty intuitive. The iAudio is small! and made well, with one exception: the toggle switches move smoothly side to side but stick a bit when pressed in. Since I've had it one has loosened up and is fine, the other still catches occasionally. Everything else is top quality! I've actually gotten more than I expected to for my money.
Rating: Summary: PS...bad review? Review: Now...that's better. Instructions came flowing (via e-mail) with more complete information and downloads work fine. Also a updated patch was offered to prevent potential cd download problems. That works fine too. I'm a happy camper. My only lingering thorn is the fact that this is brand new, and the updated patch came out in November, 2002. It's a little odd that the new machine didn't have it. After hours of trying in vain - and not understanding why the instructions didn't work - the new patch worked like a charm. Wish they would have sent something from the beginning (in the shipment) to tell me about the new patch.
Rating: Summary: An MP3 Player That is Not a Toy - Finally! Review: I ordered this unit based upon the Amazon.com reviews. I have owned another MP3 Player (Samsung YEPP 70)and this one far superior. It arrived in only 4 days. Everything that I needed (manual, case, USB, headset, pendant, software)was neatly bundled together in a well-thought out shipping container. Loading the software was a breeze, and the interface was intuitive. The unit itself is a little bigger than a standard pager, weighs LESS than a pager, and it rides smartly in a well made case. You can operate all the functions without taking it out of the case. For a portable MP3 player the case is very important, because it protects the unit when you drop it (and you WILL drop it). Sound quality is fine - the included earbuds are marginal but I tried my Koss Sports and they sound great together! Battery life has been about 6 hours, playing at level 35. FM reception is surprisingly good too. You can't go wrong with this product.
