Creative's pride the new Creative Zen

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

...It?s really a heartening arrival from Creative planners and it seems this highly rated organization is getting their acts together. They have had lot of promise and Creative Zen, the latest arrival from their pipeline has established that they have the capacity to live up to the expectations. I always thought that user or customer feedback network is essential the success of products which have to cope of with such massive international competetion and their relentless endeavur to achieve technical perfection which can be provided to the international buyers at an affordable price. When I had the first had a look and a feel of Creative Zen it struck me that this was designed to compete with iPods at a reasonable level, being an iPod heater, Creative Zen has hardly meant a threat to the iPod community. In terms of technology and quality...

Creative EP-630

Advantages: Simply Excellent
Disadvantages: None

...Creative EP-630 I have recently tried creative EP-630 and it cost a quarter of a similar pair of Bose phones that I'd normally go for. Ordering from their website couldn't be easier and the site is locked for security of payments. The ear pads are rubber and far more comfortable to the ears. The design is by far more ergonomically and causes less stress to the ears. The sound is by far the real selling point however and is a stunning and enhanced listening pleasure. The volume on my MP3 is extraordinarily loud but the quality does not fall away and wobble/ scratchiness are simply not there, even at full volume. The bass tones are very deep and you made need to lighten them up with a little more treble. The sound in general is very crisp. The cord is very long which is a bonus as I run on road and on the treadmill...

Creative comment added below

Advantages: A PMP that will allow for great updates
Disadvantages: Missed the boat on product seduction

...CREATIVE ZEN X-FI Storage Size - 8GB Release Date - June 2008 RRP - 229.99 GBP ---------------------------- Creative comment added below I don?t know about you but the apps are certainly growing and it isn?t through me working out. There has been an explosion of apps on new titled mobile technology handsets that stimulate the interface savvy users into pure a seduction heaven. The geeks among you know who you are. Creative have now also been exploring the many apps that seemingly dream of world domination and winning. The Creative X-Fi that was released mid June last year (2008) was one of the first Portable Media Players to realise the ultimate pros of what the ?app? can provide, through its own Creative apps and of course the downloadable worthy ones. Whether they help in the sound...

Review of Creative ZEN X-FI

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...

Get Creative

Advantages: Great for the price
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...I bought my Creative Live Notebook Cam on Amazon for a very reasonable £15.26 and with the super saver option I had no postage and packing to pay. I didn?t need a big fancy looking cam with all the super duper mods and cons, I just wanted a cam to be a cam. I had toyed with several other models, but after much deliberation came down on the side of this. One of the main reasons apart from the fact that it looks pretty good, was the manufacturer. I have had a few other Creative items and have never had any problems with either installation or use. There were a couple of Microsoft one?s I fancied but as per usual they priced themselves out of my market. The specs on the Microsoft model were slightly better but the cost was more than three times. The neat black looking cam comes as do a lot...

Review of Creative Live! Cam Notebook

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 Labs EP630

Advantages: good noise isolation, very strong base, no distortion, doesn't leak sound
Disadvantages: feels too fragile

...to be put below normal on the mp3 player sometimes as these headphones are loud. They also do not leak sound a lot, so your music is not advertised to the public! In some days where I feel I do not want bass, I just turn the equaliser settings down so the headphones become ?tame.? you do however get used to the strong bass and the ?in your head? feel of the headphones. You do however get the sound of the cords rubbing together when you move a lot with these on, almost like a stethoscope, but I suppose that cannot be avoided. I would give it 4.5 starts and not 5 because the first pair I had stopped working on one side around 8 months after I bought them. I got these replaced by creative themselves which was a relatively quick process. Also fine ear wax sometimes gets caught on the mesh of the driver, but it can be removed....

A Creative Finger Job

Advantages: Finger licking yummy PMP
Disadvantages: Lacks WiFi interactivity

...Welcome to the Creative Zen X-FI2 Released - Sept 2009 - X-FI2 - UK Storage ? 8GB RRP ? 99.99 GBP Introduction -------------- It?s been barely one year since the debut of the X-FI and the X-FI2 is fully loaded and equipped for you the techie masses. A month is a long-time in the world of an abundant MP3 market-place. The most contested area in the digital media world. Creative may have sent the potato-head into production into recent years; but is it a ploy for something else to emerge that will at least compete with the iPod. ? Creative certainly has the backing of many major businesses within the technologies available. So I might as well stick my head out of the window and broadcast a stance that 2010 could be very much a ?Creative? year; and it...

Review of Creative Zen X Fi2 8GB

It's Creative with speakers!

Advantages: Tiny, FM radio, voice recorder, speaker
Disadvantages: Quite some, read the review

...I never had a great respect for Creative?s audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best ?above average? and normally ?average? audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions and of course the USB cable. I thought it was an inch from the Shuffle and Clip. The skin is a quality one providing openings for USB cable and the speaker. The new Zen Stone...

Review of Creative ZEN Stone with Speaker 2 GB

Mattygroves and her Creatively Inspired Speakers

Advantages: Inexpensive and fairly compact
Disadvantages: Silly claims on the box. Probably not sufficiently true for the serious user

...Until recently, I've not needed speakers for my computer here at work. I had earphones (not improbably loose ones) for those rare occasions I needed sound, and the company we shared offices with always had their music playing (some of which was truly odd, but that's another story). The company with whom we were sharing offices have now moved, and so I seized the opportunity to play my music without earphones(all hail Last.fm), and thus ordered a pair of speakers. As these are not mine (I'm claiming them on expenses), I didn't want to pay a fortune for them, so I searched Amazon.co.uk and found that they were selling Creative Inspire 265 speakers for the very reasonable price of £15.43 including delivery (£10.93 before delivery). My taste in music is esoteric. I like folk, rock, folk rock (see a trend developing here?), prog rock...
