  • Abstract:  Creative Zen X-Fi: this player rocks. MP3 players are one of the most remarkable technologies of recent years. They only appeared about the turn of the millennium when a bunch of geeky guys leapt on the fact that you could store most of your CD co...

  • Stylish design, wide array of formats supported, lots of features, large storage capacity
  • Wireless connectivity of limited usefulness, keypad makes it difficult to type, X-Fi modes not worth using, SD card slot poorly implemented
  • The Creative ZEN X-Fi continues the tradition of past ZEN players, offering a compelling alternative to the iPod range. However, Wi-Fi and the X-Fi modes are poorly implemented and dont bring much to the table. ...

  • Creative Zen X-Fi is great multimedia player with just few small problems. First and biggest by our opinion is lack of support for FLAC format. Since this is high-class device that has price tag above two hundred Euros this kind of slip-ups are intoler...

  • Headturningly compact but, Proprietary audio tweaks make it sound BIG, Works great with established content providers and Digital Copy, Highly customizable
  • Video streaming requires resizing of our existing video files, No video output, Comes with the shortest USB cable Ive ever seen!
  • In a world of portable media player leaders and followers, kudos to Creative for going their own way. The design and feature set are uniquely theirs, with improvements over the first generation and an attractive value for those looking to go beyond th...

  • Good sound quality, Decent earphones supplied, Easy-to-use menus
  • Button layout can be confusing, Playing tracks is a little fiddly
  • At £70 cheaper than the equivalent iPod Touch, the Zen X-Fi is a good deal for music fans ...

  • Clean, crisp sound, SD Card slot, Comfortable bundled earbuds, Audiobook support
  • Cluttered navigation controls, Underwhelming audio enhancement, Non-JPEG photo files need to be transcoded, No predictive text when instant messaging
  • The Creative Zen X-Fi provides excellent sound quality (with the X-Fi Expand turned off) and support for multiple audio and video formats at a very reasonable price. It offers a larger screen and capacity than the similarly priced Sony Walkman NWZ-S718...

  • Very good sound quality, Excellent included earbuds, Attractive interface, Expandable storage
  • Buttons are very small and not backlit, No Web browsing or wireless sync, No third-party app support, Typing is difficult, *
  • The Zen X-Fi doesnt pose much of a threat to the far more versatile and user-friendly iPod Touch, but folks considering a Flash Zune might opt for the X-Fis larger maximum capacity (32GB vs. Zunes 16GB) plus expandable storage. And Creative has been...
