Here are 2 great accessories for the S9. Photos are included below:
1. Altec Lansing InMotion “Soundblade” Bluetooth Speaker System.
2. Eforcity USB Travel Charger Adapter (Wait till you see the price).
I was a little nervous to purchase the Altec Lansing Soundblade, because Bluetooth is a relatively new technology for me. I received a Cowon S9 MP3 music player for Christmas, and it boasted of A2DP Bluetooth compatibility. I have other Altec Lansing products, and they have all been stellar performers, so I took the plunge. I am amazed at how simple the setup was. It took me about a minute to read the instructions and another minute to establish a connection... no wires. The speaker has good volume and sounds good at either extreme. There is good bass even at low volume. S9 users have a unique advantage because we can use its built-in equalizer, to shape the frequencies to suit our individual tastes. I programmed one of the equalizer’s user settings specifically for the Soundblade. The buttons on top of the Soundblade allow me to adjust the volume, pause, play, and skip songs without reaching into my pocket for the MP3 player. The Soundblade is thin (1 inch thick) and stands vertically with the aid of a pop-out stand, which takes up very little space on my office desk. The craftsmanship is excellent. The dark gray grille finish is perfect, although I'll admit I don't really care for the black shiny plastic on the sides and back. You guessed it... fingerprints. Bottom line - if the Soundblade were to break or get stolen, I'd buy another without hesitation. It's an awesome product.
The Eforcity USB Travel Charger Adapter cost me 17 cents, plus $2.98 Shipping. I purchased 2 of them and an extra cable so I can charge the S9 from work or home. As soon as you plug it in, you’ll see a moving graphic on the S9’s display (see photo) of an orange battery. When the charge is complete, it displays a “Battery Full” message. A full charge occurs in about 3 hours, and the S9 does not get hot. I can barely detect any warmth at all (just barely). I went to the Amazon.com site again and saw that this item is now selling for .49 cents. Incredible price. There are multiple vendors and some sell this for much more. I purchased it from BargainCell.
