Noticeable by its absence and an absolute must-consider is the Cowon D2 PMP. I have been enjoying one of these for the last three months and I cannot fault it. Best audio quality in its class, 35 hours audio playback, excellent video playback, properly integrated SDHC expansion, touch screen, Adobe flash support - need I say more? Awesome.

Would you pay more for headphones than your Mp3 player? You might, if you had a pair of these to hear your favourite tunes through.
