Cowon iAUDIO T2
MP3 | February 12th, 2008
AUDIO T2’s design as inspired by black diamond brings you the sophisticated quality and simple functionality. iAUDIO’s modern style is further amplified by the extraordinary clarity of the black chrome and the projection of vibrant color display within the black body. Then, of course, there is the influence of black diamond ? mystery, passion, good fortune and the forceful presence of in a jewel . Around your neck, in your bag, or in your pocket.. iAUDIO T2 can be with you for your everyday digital lifestyle. Convenient battery charging through USB cable and portable storage device. Ultra-portability and stylish design packed with all the audio functions.
The T2 weighs barely more than an ounce, so you’ll hardly know you’re wearing it. You can pull off the black chrome cube at the top to use the player with your own headphones. The device comes with 2GB of memory and a lithium-polymer battery that lasts an estimated maximum of 12 hours on a single charge.
As with other iAudio players, navigating the T2 is relatively simple but takes some practice. The main screen is the playback screen, which displays the time, track number, playback mode (shuffle, repeat, and so on), battery meter, levels meters, time elapsed/remaining, and scrolling song title. Although the player was set to show ID3 tag info, only the song title would appear; we couldn’t figure out how to remedy this. One click of the Menu key brings you to the music navigation area, and you can view music by the usual categories (artist, album, and so on) or use folder browsing. The shuttle buttons shift through the levels of the music menu, while the +/- controls are used for scrolling. This is where navigating the menus or browsing for songs can get tricky since you need to use buttons on both the top and bottom to get the job done. It can be maddening at first, but you’ll get used to it. Two clicks on the Menu button takes you to the top screen where you can select from Music, Settings, FM Radio, and Voice Recording.
The impressive functionality doesn’t end there, as the T2 also offers the high-quality JetEffect audio experience, which can create millions of audio combinations by fusing several top-of-the-line sound effects, including a five-band equalizer (with normal, rock, jazz, classic, pop, vocal, and user modes), BBE, Mach3Bass, MP Enhance, and 3D Surround. It’s ideal for users who like to bring new dimensions to the listening experience. And even though the T2 is primarily an MP3 player, it also handles a host of additional tasks, including playing and recording FM radio, storing data files on its 2 GB of memory (the unit is automatically recognized as a USB storage device), and digital voice recording via the built-in microphone.
