What is a plus for this player is that it supports both video and audio formats where users can play the HD version of compressed video directly. However, this much information about the advanced MP3 player is not enough to decide whether you should pay for it or not. Therefore, here comes more info on its features, technology and others.

The Design Fact:
If you like to use technical devices that are both beautiful and functional, this MP3 player will move you. The credit though goes to its manufacturers, Cowon because it kept the design classy, but understated. High quality ABS type plastic dents have been used to manufacture it’s housing that keep the device safe from bumps and scratches. You have different feelings when you touch the rubber made backside of the MP3 player. To protect the AMOLED screen from impacts and scratches a kind of Gorilla glass has been used at front side. The screen tone of the MP3 player is medium quality and it neither looks to yellow nor too orange.
The Audio System:
The audio system of the player has been developed using Android applications (Music) and the matrix browser is the main attraction of the system. The audio system has the capacity to change the screen background according to the album that is being played on the back screen. Patented tempo change and AB-repeat facility of Cowon’s are available. It gives enough sound because of the Rockbox facility used in the device. However, it needs mentioning in this regard that the player doesn't have any integrated audio track.
Pros:
- The Cowon D3 plenue can record functions in radio and line in.

- The HDMI output is praiseworthy
Cons:

- Maximum volume is not that loud.
