We figured Cowon's X7 wouldn't bother passing through the FCC's loose
fingertips if it weren't planning on making a stateside debut at some
point, and sure enough, the aforesaid media player is gearing up to
ship here just two months after its South Korean reveal. Over the
years, Cowon has managed to maintain a fairly decent cover in the US
of A, but audio purists recognize the brand for its commitment to
sound quality over all else. The X7 is a capacious (160GB) player with
a fairly large display (4.3-inches) and a world-beating battery good
for ten hours of video and up to 103 hours of audio. Yeah, a full long
weekend's worth. As with anything in life, Cowon's made some
sacrifices here as well; you won't find a WiFi module, but you will
spot support for Bluetooth headsets. How's it all shake out? Join us
after the break for our full review.
