Creative speakers: Speak up, we can't hear yer
Edvarcl Heng | Nov 22, 2006
From the looks of it, lots of people are making speaker docks for the iPod and precious few are devoting design resources to Creative's Zen players. So the Singapore-based manufacturer has decided to go full hog with a range of decidedly delicious speakers. With a full set of designer chomps, these look good enough to munch the iPod Hi-Fi for tea.
There's lots of technical oomph on these speakers as well. The Z600 packs in the X-Fi sound system while the Z500 has a telescopic FM antenna to take advantage of the Zen Vision:M's radio capabilities. S$599 (US$431.28) for the Z600, S$299 (US$215.28) for the Z500 and S$199 (US$143.28) for the TravelSound ZEN V.
