4 of 5 Solid Product Monday, August 18, 2008
Sohaib from New York, New York
The new creative zen X-Fi is a great purchase but not without its flaws. First the good: 30 G of space. Can't go wrong with a deal like that. Videos and Photos both look wonderful on this highly aesthetically pleasing product. The physical changes are all excellent. It is incredibly small and lightweight and every person I have shown it to has been instantly amazed by how nice looking it is. I had the old ceative zen vision M I loved it but it was rather bulky and took up an entire pocket. This is much much smaller and gives me room to put other things in my pocket as well. Creative's additional zen features are all here once again and I frequently use the microphone and radio, both features missing from ipods. It is also once again fully compatible with a large number of media players and can be easily sync'd with every one I have tried.
I also have to talk about the ear buds that come with the zen which are absolutely phenomenal. I have never used ear buds of this size that cancel out sound so effectively and still manage to provide brilliant quality sound through all frequencies. Tying in with this is the x-fi technology which I can no longer live without. A very necessary addition. I don't even bother turning it off anymore. The battery life is also splendid. I was a little weary of the replacement of the touch pad with buttons but creative has done a brilliant job of making long menu's easily accessible.
However, the product is not without flaws. It seems a little like creative threw in more features than they knew what to do with just for the sake of adding it to their list of features. The features I'm talking about are the wi-fi and the expandable memory slot. The wi-fi is a bit silly considering you can only use it to go on an instant messager, and further only a specific creative instant messager which doesn't connect to most popular instant messaging softwares. In addition, the text input is essentially like a cell phone which makes me think, if I want to send someone a message, I'll just use my cell phone instead.
The expandable memory slot is probably the biggest failure on creatives part I was very excited about the prospect of adding memory to my device in case I ran out of room but the memory card is completely un-integrated, To access files from it, one must go to the main menu, go to the memory card and then select the files from there. Any music on it will not be integrated into the music folder's menu's and lists, a rather annoying nuance.
Aside from those flaws, I still say this is an excellent product, especially for the price. It is definitely far far superior to the ipod and microsoft's zune. I give it 4 stars out of 5. Was this review helpful?
