The first Wi-Fi–enabled Zen offers excellent sound, but drops the ball with a confusing control scheme. Read more

Creative Zen X-Fi
Reviewer: UGO11 September 2008It should become official within the next few months, and until then any pricing information is purely speculative. But they've been dropping new details on it very quickly, which is a good indication that once it's announced, it'll be ready to go soon after. We'll venture to guess that it's going to pop up on some wish lists come Christmastime. Read more

The amazing Zen X-Fi has great sound, features, headphones, and storage options--and for a nice price, too.

Minor issues like the chat malfunctions can't take the shine off of the Creative X-Fi. It's an outstanding digital music player that rises to the top with ease. The masses may continue to think iPod first when they need a new MP3 player--but the X-Fi is an innovative, feature-packed player, and it's an absolute steal for the price. Read more

Creative Zen X-Fi 32GB
Reviewer: Bloodfire, Overclock03 December 2008- Overall 10
I initially had my review put in as the product, but I fixed that now. Here's the review: This intense sound-quality machine gives you the option of really good sound quality, hardcore soundquality, or 1337 sound quality. The X-Fi crystallizer may not sound nice with the supplied earbuds, but those earbuds aren't exactly doing the Zen X-Fi any justice. If you want to maximize your listening experience while you go for a job, workout, or you just need some serious sound,... Read more

This is my first MP3 player. About 3 years ago I bought an ipod 30 gig and it lasted 2 weeks before it just stopped working. I got my money back and haven't bought one until the Zen. Very happy with the purchase and I've had it about a month. Read more

Good but bad
Reviewer: David, Digitaltrends11 November 2008- Overall 2
I love this piece of technology to bits. I would give it a 5 star rating and recommend it to everyone IF they had the software. I have been trying to get the software working on this thing for ages. Creative support is no help unless you have EXACTLY what they say... it wont work. It doesn't even play real mp4's it is a complete waste and I am embarrassed to say i have one Read more

Creative Zen Z-Fi 16GB
Reviewer: J. R. Gruen, Amazon24 October 2008- Overall 8
Small, Light & goes a long time on a charge. The Software is a little hard to figure out, not as intuitive as the Vision M software I used previously. I don't try & store every song that has ever been recorded so the 16 GB is more than sufficient. A little trick for you guitar freaks: I have a headphone amp that plugs directly into my guitar that has an aux port. I can put mp3 backing tracks on the Zen, plug it into the headphone amp and jam along with the music. Great... Read more
