Very good

7.4

out of 10

The good: Good choice of Stik-On designs; low price for a 5GB player; small form factor.

The bad: Indifferent hardware controls and menu interface.

The bottom line: It has good value for a 5GB capacity device and will definitely stand in good stead for users looking for a customizable, all-round MP3 player.

Amazing sound quality, frustating user interface

May 17, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Amazing sound quality, stylish enough, cheap (after 3,5 years ... :))
Cons: delay between song, small lcd
Opinion:
First, I buy this mp3 player because of its price :). After 3,5 years, finally, i could afford it for only $ 45. The most impressive is its sound quality. In my opinion, it's even better compare to ipod shuffle. Deep bass and crisp treble. With its 5 gb capacity, it seems frustating for searching one song from about 1300 songs.

Stay away from this one!

Pros: If it is working, the interface is ok.
Cons: Reliability and support leave a lot to be desired
Opinion:
I purchased two Zen Neeon 5 gb units for my kids for Christmas 2005. One started actin real slow within a week, so my daughter took it back, got the cash, and bought an iPod. The other one worked for a while, then just froze. After a long battle with the support group (it seemed like their objective was to get you to try everything, even if it was a waste of time, instead of providing the information to return the unit). I finally got the opportunity to send it in along with $25.00. It came back in 10 days. We loaded a bunch of songs on it and it worked for 2 days. Now, it hangs when it starts up and the computer doesn't recognize it when it is plugged in, so there isn't anything we can do but send it back. Boy, that really makes me ... Read more
