    Cowon Plenue D2 (PD2)

    Jul 24, 2019 3 minutes

    The demise of the Apple iPod (only the Touch remains from the original line-up) may not have pleased Apple fans, but it has opened up the market for other portable music player brands. Cowon is among those to have caught our attention in recent years. Its budget hi-res players are notable for their vast file support, pocket-size practicality, accessible price and sonic superiority over smartphones.

    The Cowon Plenue D2 (or PD2) is the next-gen version of Award-winning original Plenue D for its budget price and vintage-lighter size, but also its insightful, punchy sound and plentiful features. These include a battery life of over 50 hours (hi-res file playback) and support for 24-bit/192kHz WAV, FLAC, ALAC and AIFF files.
