5 out of 5 stars Bought my second media player first   November 23, 2008
Mark L. Baron (West Island-Fairhaven,MA USA)
After being in the TV business over 25 years-I've seen it all. The COWON Q5 is the media player of fantasy. It simply is the best rig all-around. High screen resolution, superb audio quality and features yet undiscovered that will never let you get bored with it. This rig is a 3x5" screen personal media player on steriods! One of the many features that caught my eye was its ability to interact with several video formats. See complete details on the product description. Note: The first rig shipped to me came DOA. The charging system was corrupted in the COWON itself. Amazon came through quickly with a lightning fast replacement. I am always-ALWAYS-confident in Amazons superior customer service. So this return issue was fast and easy.
There always will be features you'd like on any piece of electronics. It would have been awesome to plug in my ATT wireless internet module into the USB and get it to work. The COWON is also built tough-but still would use caution in any high shock environments. After all this is a hard drive unit and can get placed into a lock-up (reset required) event with a variety of minor and/or major consequences. You will not be dissappointed with the COWON Q5.[...]



1 out of 5 stars Don't by Cowon products...   September 6, 2008

I have been thoroughly disappointed with their products and lack of customer service. They average about 2-3 weeks to return an email for customer service issues. I finally got through to a representative and was advised to send the product back to them, at my own expense and they emailed back about 1 month later stating that there is no problem with the item. When I emailed back with a detailed description of the specific situation I encountered (item stopped powering on or charging through the USB port) they ceased communication. I still haven't heard back from them, but will never buy their products ever again. They are terrible both at manufacturing and caring for their customers.

I've had the q5w 60gb model for about 2 months and overall I am very pleased with it's performance. The only drawback was the fact that it does not play AAC music files, but adding Coreplayer took care of that. Wifi works well, I can go approximately 90 feet from my linksys 54gs router without any slow web pages or disconnect issues. Audio is awesome, even using Coreplayer instead of the built in one. Video looks fantastic on the 5" screen. Battery life could be better, but I get 7 hours on audio and 5 on video. A bigger hard drive would also be a plus, but that can be solved by adding a bigger one. This is my first Cowon product and I would buy from them again.


4 out of 5 stars Great player with some small flaws   April 21, 2008

I bought this player too, overall it plays the Video & audio in high quality.What is a bit disappointing is that you can't charge the unit via USB but perhaps that will be possible some day by software modify.The wifi area is to small, when I get only a 50% signal from my router I can,t connect to the wlan/internet.What I like too about the player is the Windows CE 5 ( ok Win CE6 would've beenbetter)I found already a lot of applications for the Cowon Q5W.

i have used this Q5W for 2 months and i am 100% satisfied with the item.
It has very high-quality video player which is much better than archos 605 and ipod touch. The sound quality is way better than other mp3 players.

Wi-fi,,, is not that super as i expected at first, but, you will get used to it. One important thing is that you cannot watch YouTube from internet not because of Active X, but because of so slow motion. If you are youtubing person, Ipod touch would be better choice.

Radio is great option in this PMP. Lyric can be written on the songs so that PMP will display the lyric.

The most important options on my favorite are the COMIC VIEWER and TEXT VIEWER. As zip files or folders, it can display comic books. With 5" size screen, there is no difficulty in reading them. The text is super that you can feel as you are actually reading the books.

Also, battery life is outstanding. Even though it does not last 7 hours actually, it does last about 6 hours, which is still long enough to do everything outside.

Anyway, i recommend this PMP to everybody if you are condisering among other PMPs or MP3s
