Why no speaker?

[Olley]

I don't suppose you know a U.S. site that speaker for the S9 can be purchased at, dfkt?

Sorry, no. I stumbled upon that thing by accident, browsing Amazon Germany. Did you get no Google results for the brand name? Maybe it's just some German-only OEM distributor.

My Zen:W came with tiny speakers, which doesn't give good sound but it nice to have use it as back ground music while fishing etc.

Im guessing cowon created the s9 with great sound quality on mind. I mean if you want great sq, you would not use the built in speaker anyways.

I personally don't feel adding speakers is really that necessary. Speakers in mp3 players have real less volume, which means they are not making full use of the audio potential of the player and at the same time taking up valuable space.

i have a samsung p3 and it has a built-in speaker on it.. and i've never used it maybe because i dont find any reason at all to use it. simply put, PMPs like s9 is better experienced with a headphone.

It's there on the P3 because people use Bluetooth to use it as a cell phone

[shopao]

yup, but i still dont get it, why use your p3 for answering calls wherein you can just take out your cellphone to do that? oh well, i think it's personal preferences.. but for me, i just use my PMP the way i think how it should be.

Because your not cool unless you can answer you cellphone with your DAP!

[shopao]

having a non-IPOD pmp is cool enough!

[JunglePimp]

I sometimes wonder how many people use their P3s as phones, looking at how much battery it would drain.

I ordered a couple of those from german amazon a few days ago, and they are supposed to arrive by the 26th (trusting swedish mail delivery to be as good as usual I'll have them before february). Thanks!

[dfkt]

Very nice - I didn't know Amazon.de shipped outside of Germany and Austria.

[Olley]

Sweden is easy. They won't send me one in the U.S..

"GPEL TS 900C protective enclosure with speakers (2 watts) for Cowon S9 titanium can not be shipped to the selected address." Google Translation.

Wish they would though.

I don't think anyone on here would use the speaker to actually listen to music. I would just like to have a speaker for the sake of handiness, as mentioned in many other posts. Sharing a video with multiple friends, alarm, games, checking a song, etc. I haven't bought a S9 yet and no speaker is one of the major reasons why. The other reason is that I don't know if I can get DVR-MS files onto it.

[T4b]

hmm, but 41 € - or $ 60 - is quite a pricetag!

2 Watt output aren't this bad, i suppose.
and of course it has a stand!

[Sirius]

Review, quick and simple. Third try and now I won't redo it again although audio is very delayed. :|

I will answer questions if there are any.

[JunglePimp]

At about 40 Euros... not worth it tbh.

@sirius
you use dark evolution, and yet you keep the stock homepage? even worse the widget one? what is this madness!?!

On another note, I recently got an xmini II. Cant recommend it enough if you are looking for a portable speaker, since its so cheap and sounds great.
