A little giant in sound.......2007-12-26
Very lite and amazing sound lot of battery life excellent for long trips. The radio has poor reception but you really don't need use it. I would recomend this for somebody that wants to get into the MP3 devices for the first time and is not expensive to get it if you buy it on the internet.
The wife loves it!.......2007-09-14
We already have two Cowon products (60 GB and 1 GB U2) and it was time to get a slightly roomier mp3 player for my wife. She loves the drag and drop feature. She was quite surprized at how small the F2 player is - pretty much the same size as U2, even though the dimensions are posted. However, she was disappointed that the package did not contain a carrying case and/or the necklace, which came with U2.
As for the technical review, it may follow, since she hasn't had a chance to use it yet (it's charging at the moment). However, since we love our other Cowon mp3 players, I am sure she'll love it too.
The screen has very nice colors and resolution, and looks very sharp and clear.
Update from the wife: While I love the mp3 player overall, I don't like the buttons, they are very small. I liked the joystick feature on my other Cowon much more. Other than that - very intuitive, didn't use any software with it, has been working diligently and problem free so far (just over a half a year). Would like to have more than one Playlist.
Definitely an iPOD killer.......2007-07-08
This a very nice mp3 player. I have the 4gb one. This definitey tops iPOD for a number of reasons which most consumers dont really care much of but I do. Here are my favorites; The sound processor on this player is much brighter and more powerful than ipod. 60mw of power (because I love listening at high levels which I usually set the max 25 out of the 40 volume levels, it's pretty damn loud) and it has a max. of 95db vs. 90db for ipod. The reason why is I use Shure's e2 sound isolated earphones. If you remove all the ambient background sounds ie, cars driving by, or fire trucks testing their sirens or just people bitching and complainging you just hear your music. And the louder you go the more lively it sounds. Drag and drop files may be considered an old thing but who wants to use a software just to transfer files. The problem I really dont like about ipods is that your music has to be perfectly tagged in order to view it right in ipod. In addition, you have to browse it in a sequence. This one actually views your music exactly like Windows Explorer. Simple and right to the point. Your music can be read by the file name or by it's tagged which is really nice. Another cool thing about it is that it uses the universal usb mini-b cable. The really nice thing is it charges as well. The battery life is 5 stars. The rated is 20 hours I get alot more. When it's tested by consumer companies like cnet, they use standard levels of use. I use the sound processors alot which equals more battery power. So trust me the battery lasts really long. Since it's only 4gb I love to change my music every often. This way it keeps the music fresh and doesnt get boring. Most people who own an ipod keep their music their permanantley like it's their sanctuary. Okay, most people dont lose their ipods but because they have moving parts, care is top of the list ie. dropping it for example. I can drop mine or throw it at someone who really piss me off and it's totally fine. I've noticed most players today are favored in flash based. Quick, simple and not fragile. The player is very very stable. It doesnt crash and the startup is very fast. Well I said enough. If you buy this through Amazon, you'll most likely buy it directly from Cowon's Jet Audio store. Great place to buy it and the customer service is really quick and responsive. Contact by email or live chat! Dig that. I hope Cowon keeps these features in the future but with much larger size memory and adding features that other mp3 players dont have :)

Amazon.com Review
For those of us who don't like to be without news and music when we travel, the Sangean ATS 606AP compact stereo receiver is the ideal companion. The unit receives AM/FM, long-wave, and shortwave signals (frequency ranges from 153 to 29,995 kHz and 87.5 to 108 MHz), and frequencies can be set either automatically or manually through the keypad.
One of the things that make the ATS 606AP such a terrific travel radio is that it's adaptable for use anywhere in the world. The digital clock can be set to any two time zones, and the unit provides both an alarm and sleep timer. You can set the radio to automatically turn off so that you fall asleep to music and then later gently awaken you with news, music, or the alarm.
The auto-tune feature scans all available radio frequencies and presets the stations to the strongest FM/AM or long-wave signal. An internal memory can hold up to 54 radio frequencies, saving you time searching for your favorites. You can refine the tuning with the manual control. Our reception on FM/AM bands was very good, but shortwave yielded only one interference-ridden station, and we were unable to tune in any long-wave at all. The LCD shows the current station, frequency, local time, memory location, and the status of the alarms and all other functions. A small light in the display window switches on for viewing the display in the dark.
The carrying pouch is sturdy and convenient with Velcro seals, but neither the shortwave handbook nor the accompanying earphones fit properly in the case. The radio is good looking and compact in design, with a retractable antenna. It's also easy to use, but you'll probably need the handbook to set your preferred stations and use the more advanced functions. Overall, the ATS 606AP is a portable clock radio (just under 6 by 3.5 inches and weighing only 1 pound) with a great deal of appeal. The radio includes a multivoltage AC adapter and a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. --David Greenberger
Pros:
- Classic transistor radio design
- Compact and packable
- Powerful reception on AM and FM
Cons:
- Carry case doesn't hold handbook or accessories
- Display is unreadable at certain angles

Great little radio.......2007-04-30
Owned one of these for about 4 years and dropped it several weeks ago. Replaced it with another one last week. Works great on all bands, SSB and synchronus detection would be a nice addition though.
Great Pocket Sw Radio from Sangean.......2006-03-09
For several years, this has been my favorite multiband pocket radio. It recently has been bumped from that position by the Kaito KA1102(see my review on the Kaito). Both receivers offer excellent AM FM and Shortwave performance, including STEREO to earphones.
The choice between the two radios hinges on features, price and desire for ease of use.
Sangean offers Long wave reception, Kaito does not.
Kaito has Single sideband mode (for Hams), Sangean does not.
Humane alarm of Sangean is less "jarring".
Sangean in MUCH easier to use/Manual is easy to understand.
Kaito is cheaper but feels more solidly built.
Sangean has rotary volume control, Kaito has up/down buttons.
"batteries included" on Kaito (NiMH rechargeable).
Both are pretty amazing for their size!!!
Wasn't What I Expected,.......2005-11-15
I got this radio November 9th, and am not pleased. The reception isn't that great, and the F.M. has too much override; where you hear the same station on adjacent frequencies. Unless it's a very strong station, you have to tune away from the nearby station to get anything. Sangean could've done better.
very good receiver.......2005-10-07
After having one for 5 years, I have ordered another for a friend of mine. Compact, good sound, simple to use, I like it.
My favorite radio.......2005-05-18
After trying a few different radios, including the Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE, this one is still the best. FM reception is un-equaled by any other radio I have, plus very good AM and SW sensitivity. Many more features than the YB400. Very decent sound from the speaker and superb sound from a good pair of headphones. The Yacht Boy might sound a little better (the speaker is at least twice the size), but I still love playing with this little gem.
There are characteristics about all radios that each individual would like to have in their ideal radio and you can read a few of those in the other reviews. However, I personally can't think of anything I wish were different about this radio, other than I wouldn't take it to the beach and expose it to the salt air. Otherwise, it goes everywhere. It's also the radio I use most often in the house. And for the price you can get it for, it's more than worth it.
I guess instead of just repeating a lot of what has already been written, I'll just say I've bought three!
