Creative's pride the new Creative Zen

Advantages: Excellent audio, loads of features, price
Disadvantages: A bit sloppy video

...the appearnce with fingerprint impressions. Rating for this section: 8/10. FEATURES: It has got loads of excellent feature, and surprisingly most of them work with very little fuss. Creative Zen is a flash based player and has 2.5? screen boasting of a full size SD card slot. It is available in 4, 8 16 and 32 GB memory option with very little variation in the price tag. It?s eyeing at 5G iPods and has better color support. Infact Creative Zen supports 16.7 million colors althought technically or statistically a mssive achievement but hardly improves the video quality. The FM radio band functions quite well and the voice recoder is a big plus. The creative DJ features is great. Rating for this section 9/10. TECHNICAL FEATURES: *Bluetooth: No *Built-In Microphone: Yes *Built-In Radio: Yes *Digital Audio...

Review of Creative ZEN

Creative zen

Advantages: reasonable price, looks good, dinky, good battery life, good sound quality.
Disadvantages: NONE:)

...i bought this product in may 2008 for about £80 very reasonable for a new 8gb player considering the ipod of that size and generation cost £120-150. I choose it because i had a muvo and loved the quality but out grew it and after battleing with numerous unbranded models i was sick and tired of rubbish. I am a stong hater of popular branded stuff such as the ipod as people i know have had ipods stolen and broken after a year or so (just after the garentee runs out i think) so i didn't look at the ipods and as me and my brother had both had amazing creative mp3 players with no problems (his zen touch has been running for 4 years and still going strong) i decided to look for a new creative player the mozaic in my opinion was the same thing with an ugly casing and the x-fi was a bit expensive so at the size i needed the zen was ideal...

Review of Creative ZEN

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2Gb

Advantages: Small, looks good, light, cool, FM radio, voice recorder
Disadvantages: Slow navigation and general responsivness

...The Creative Zen Stone Plus is the 2Gb upgrade of the basic Stone, and as well as the extra 1Gb of space it has a small LED screen for viewing track information and navigating content, a voice recorder, and FM radio. As a cheap, small, easily portable MP3 player with a large enough memory to stop me from listening to the same songs every 5 minutes this serves it's purpose very well. Pros: - it looks cool; - it holds around 500 tracks depending on their size; - it's tiny; - sound quality and volume are good (even with the radio) - software allows for easy drag-and-drop quick uploads (although once you upload from one folder you can't upload more tracks or browse any until the upload is finished) Cons: - you need to download the software from the internet, so if you don't have a connection you have to risk using windows...

Review of Creative Zen Stone Plus 2Gb

Creative zen 32gb - innovative and stylish mp3

Advantages: large viewing screen, photos storage, radio, recording, sd slot, good sound quality
Disadvantages: reliability, durability - easily scratched, no mains charger

...I have owned a Creative ZEN 32gb mp3 player for approximately a year - previous to this I had a much older creative zen which lasted well until it was finally drowned in a deluge of water. As such I was veering towards buying another zen due to my previous positive experiences. I came across this one online and read a number of reviews - half claiming it was the best mp3 ever and the other that it was the worst. Never had I seen such a difference of opinion! but much of the negativity came from the fact that many people had bought the mp3 player only to find that it stopped working rather quickly. After some consideration I decided to go ahead and purchase one. Negatives: After 2 weeks it stopped working - the screen turned white and the reset button had no effect. I got it replaced and a year later it is still working fine - the only...

Review of Creative Zen 32GB

Creative Zen Touch

Advantages: Sound quality, storage capacity, playback mode
Disadvantages: Bulky, Navigation system and pricing

...Design and feel The Creative Zen Touch is quite a big and bulky mp3 player which has a white body cover, the device is smooth to touch and its got a nice sleek design to it. The main feature of the zen touch has is its touch-sensitive Touch Pad, it is easy to use as i have found out as through navigating and scrolling. It also has a lock switch by the side, so buttons aren't accidentally clicked or pressed which is useful for when your on the move because you'll know that even if buttons are pressed it wont affect the zen. Its quite easy to use due to the simple layout of buttons. A USB 2.0 mini socket which connects to the computer can be used to transfer songs. Like the Ipod's the menu shuffle song can play songs which you have in your library. It is also somewhat heavy and bulky and not ideal for carrying around in your pocket...

Review of Creative Zen Touch 20 GB

Zen will creative be creative?

Advantages: High class processing rates
Disadvantages: Navigation and doldrum design again

...CREATIVE ZEN - MX Storage - 8 GB Release date - 05 - 2009 RRP ? 99.99 GBP ? Amazon website via the market-place option Zen will creative be creative? = There are not a lot of life patterns you can be sure of; but when it comes to Creatives new MP3 player launch, the same old design pops its mandatory blue-print into the box of blandness. Yes, I?m talking about the so called new ordinary MX. This years silently released epic from the Creative Lab team. The difference with this model is it?s quirky pointless OCD shift that plays with the navigation direction buttons rather than any major bold steps to bridge the gap with Apple?s flying machine the iPod. Creatives efforts are not with simplify design; but with different processors and technology that they feel capture their loyal client...

Review of Creative ZEN MX

Creative Zen Micro (6GB)

Advantages: Great sound quality, Scrolling Pad, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not a great range of features, Non coloured screen background

...the size of a mobile phone, and weighs 108 g. With 6GB it allows you to store up to 2500 songs, which in my opinion is a good amount as most people will not have more than this amount. The Zen also has a pretty impressive battery life (12 hours), however you can only charge it by using a computer, as you do not get a charger with it. The screen looks quite small however is 160 x 104 pixels resolution which is a joy to use. You can also lock the Zen when you do not want to change song or anything by pushing the button that is used to turn the power on to the far right instead of the far left, which would turn it off. My Verdict I think the Creative Zen Micro is an exciting, quite revolutionary piece of technology and was especially technological when it first came out (2004), however now is not as impressive as its competitors...

Review of Creative Zen Micro 6 GB

Zen Creative

Advantages: Sleek appearance. Not an i-pod. Good video capacity. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: No case - screen scratches easily. No function to edit playlists without connection to a computer.

...In my opinion the Zen creative is a great alternative to an i-pod. Personally I would rather not use i-tunes as I find it zaps the processing power of my computer so having an mp3 player that doesn't require the apple software is great. Plus it is more unique than having an i-pod. I think that the sound quality is excellent. Both the computer software and the player menus are really easy to navigate and use. The video quality and screen size on the player itself are impressive considering the small size of the player. Furthermore the player is aesthetically pleasing and the background theme can also be altered so it is possible to personalise the display! I also enjoy the inclusion of an fm-radio function. The only disadvantages to this otherwise distinctive and well-designed player are: 1) you have to be careful not to scratch...
