CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.7

out of 10

The good: Incredible value given its low price and laundry list of features; an FM radio and voice recorder; an SD card expansion slot; Wi-Fi capability; multiple EQ settings; X-Fi sound enhancement technology; bundled EP-830 earphones; top-notch sound quality; good screen and battery life.

The bad: Plastic construction does not feel high-quality; SD card content does not get integrated into the general libraries; videos need to be transcoded through the included software; button pad can be confusing at first.

The bottom line: The Creative Zen X-Fi's plastic design leaves a little to be desired, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the player is an incredible value overall: For an extremely competitive price you get a boatload of features and great sound quality.

Best Sound Quality

Jan 29, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Sound Quality, Lightweight, No Fuzzy Wires, Expandable Memory, Recorder
Cons: Not-so Intuitive Interface
Opinion:
Music never sounded this good. Creative has made so much stride improving the sound quality of their products (instead of its appearance), and it can be heard. Try plugging in the same earphones and playing the same song on your iPod and you will hear a more superior quality on the Zen.

It's perfect for traveling as it doesn't require its own cable and you can use the same USB cable for your digicam to plug to your notebook. It has an SD card slot, giving you more memory than promised, and even has a recorder with no needed accessories.

I just wish they made the interface of this particular player more intuitive.

Is CREATIVE closing down, say that somebody are you GOD?

Jan 22, 2009

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: In term of perform wise, I can say CREATIVE never loss out to anyone.
Cons: Not make with End-high material.. If you looking for that Apple is the great ones..
Opinion:
I remember somebody who say good luck to you all who bought CREATIVE as they going to close down.

To that somebody who mark this, let 'Zii' that new tech slap you back hard enough to wake up.

I am sure that somebody will buy any brand that Zii has plant in.
