  • Video playback; excellent video-conversion software; solid sound quality and performance.
  • Pricey; no DRM support; video playback is limited to 15 frames per second; difficult to navigate interface; too tiny screen for photos and video.
  • The feature-packed and swell-sounding Cowon iAudio U3 may ooze cool as one of the smallest PVPs, but its lack of DRM support, its somewhat tricky controls, and its high price tag spoil the party.

  • Abstract:  Cowon’s iAudio U3 is a huge improvement over the iAudio 5 (reviewed in our May 2005 issue). The U3 is $40 more expensive, but it’s made of a considerably higher-grade plastic and now includes a 20-hour rechargeable battery. With its 262,000-co...

  • Abstract:  The Cowon iAudio U3 is a new breed of tiny flash based PMPs. Not only does it playback video on its 260k color 160 x 128 pixel LCD screen, it handles all of the major file formats including MP3, OGG, WMA, ASF, WAV, and even FLAC. The U3 has a nice s...

  • Very good sound quality. Lots of audio options. Broad features and format support, including lossless compression.
  • Video frame rate isnt high enough. No WM DRM 10 support. Joystick can be tricky to push straight in.
  • Despite a few shortcomings, the tiny Cowon iAudio U3 is about as versatile an MP3 player as they come....

  • Abstract:  Wie viel Speicher hätten Sie gerne: 1 GByte, 2 bis 15 GByte oder doch mindestens 20 GByte? Die Speicherkapazität entscheidet letztlich auch darüber, was die Player sonst noch so können – und natürlich über die Größe.

  • Der Iaudio U3 von Cowon ist einer der kleinsten erhältlichen Videoplayer, doch verderben die Inkompatibilität mit Online-Musikdiensten und der hohe Preis den Spaß....

  • Qualité audio, Poids en encombrement / Finition, Full UMS, Navigation, Formats supportés
  • Look un peu moins étudié que d'habitude, Enregistrement WMA uniquement
  • Le U3 1 Go est le baladeur MP3 de petite taille le plus complet du moment. En outre, il offre un son de grande qualité. On aurait aimé un design plus étudié qui l'aurait rendu encore plus parfait ! ...
