  • Good sound quality, Decent earphones supplied, Easytouse 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 ...

  • Abstract:  While the Zen X-Fi is loaded with features and boasts superb sound quality, it’s too slow and frustrating to put many of these features to good use. Creative clearly wanted Instant Message capabilities for the X-Fi, but this had lead to the clunky key...

  • Abstract:  The Fi stands for Fiddly. Well conceived and well made, but gets some of the basics wrong and isnt pleasant to use. The ZEN X-Fi is a portable media player that can not only store your music, photos and videos in its 16GB of memory, but also str...

  • Small enough to sit comfortably in the palm, the Zen X-Fi is proof great things really do come in the tiniest packages. This swanky MP3 player squeezes in up to 32GB of storage, as well as an SD card slot for more room if you need it. There’s a dece...
  • The Zen X-Fi packs in Wi-Fi, but it’s a flawed execution. Where the iPod touch lets you download new songs, surf the web and install applications, the Zen simply lets you stream content from a networked PC. There’s also a built-in chat applica...
  • A tiny music player, with tons of storage, impressive sound quality and lots of added extras. Just don’t expect its Wi-Fi functions to rock your world.Creative Zen X-Fi is tagged with creative, MP3 player, Wi-Fi and MSN messenger. Select a tag (crea...

  • Abstract:  Yes, the news is dominated by this week's revamped iPods, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other good media players out there. Put off the colourful Nano, or the shiny Touch? Then here are ten of the best alternatives. Counting dow...

  • All in all, the X-Fis a bit of a disappointment. The lack of storage integration, the odd controls and the truly hopeless text input system all combine to take shine off a decent looking and sounding little player. Its hard to avoid the feeling that...

  • Abstract:  Creatives Zen X-Fi is one of only three players here to have integrated wireless networking, so it can play music from a UPnP media server. It doesnt have a web browser, like the iPod Touch or the Archos 5, but it has an instant messaging program...

  • Its 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 it will be a shame if they do. The Creative Zen X-Fi is arguably the most innovative, feature-p...
