CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.7

out of 10

View score

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.

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: -
Cons: -
Opinion:
Just because you've had a bad experience with Creative Zen in the past, it doesn't mean this product deserves 1 out of 10. If you've have never tried this product yourself, don't waste our time with your biased reviews. The are problems with all electronic companies. Get over it.

 

think carefully before you buy as creative's EOL for their product may be less than 1 year.

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: doesn't matter
Cons: creative will stop supporting its product very soon. good luck to those who think of buying it.
Opinion:
whatever the reviews for this player is, doesn't matter. what is important is how creative supports its own product. my bad experience is with the zen vision w player. i have problem trying to purchase an additional battery 9 months after i purchase the product and creative informed me that the product had stop producing just shortly after a year in the market. fyi, i bought this player a few weeks after it release in the market.

 

The BEST player from Creative so far!

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Small, HIGH quality sound n a splendid screen
Cons: Does not support all videos/image/music formats
Opinion:
Just got one a few days back. Simple to use. The best part is the built-in X-fi, makes my old songs sound rejuvenated!
Way to go, Zen!

My Zen 32G, yet to test out the wireless features
