Creative is known for the superior sound quality of its portable media players and for their exquisite design as well, and the ZEN X-Fi music player makes no exception. Like the Zens before it, the sound quality is great, and the X-Fi comes with tons of extra features, such as an FM radio, a built-in speaker, a voice recorder, and photo and video support, all wrapped in a great design.



If we were to believe completely what its manufacturers have to say about it, then the ZEN X-Fi media player from Creative would be the first MP3 player to restore the quality of compressed music, with award-winning X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity Audio technology.



The built-in X-Fi technology intelligently moves a conventional left/right earphone stereo source away from your ears, virtually expanding it for an audio experience with an incredibly realistic depth of field. You'll feel as if you are listening to your music from a pair of high end speakers.



The earphones that come with this player, namely the EP-830 also add to the effect of crystal clear music, like you've never listened before, as they do not only give their user optimum comfort, but also excellent noise-isolation treatment.



The ZEN X-Fi is a 70 grams player, with sleek facets, attractive curves and a graceful finish. Even if it didn't do so many things, people would still want to buy it, if only for its elegant and at the same time cozy aspect.



You don't need to connect it to external speakers in order to share your favorite music with your friends, as its internal speaker is powerful enough to do the job. You can even increase the size of your portable media library with an SD or SDHC card.



The 2.5'' TFT screen with 16.7 million colors is perfect for you to watch your movies and view your pictures, while the built-in FM radio will never let you get bored with the music you have stored in, letting you switch stations with ease, choosing from the 32 station presets. It supports various file formats, sports an alarm function, organizer, integrated voice recorder, 8 EQ presets, smart volume control and even more. And all these can be yours for the amount of $150.
