Creative Zen 8gb X-Fi2 – A Review

If you are wanting to get your hands on a portable music player that you can groove away with, then just take a look at Creative's latest portable music player; the Zen X-Fi2. It is the first ever touchscreen player in the entire range of Creative's music player products. The Zen X-Fi2 is made entirely from plastic, with a shiny metallic touch around the edges. It feels similar to an iPod touch but offers more features. The glossy touch screen is reflective and causes glare. The matte finish though is simply mind-boggling for saving it from scratches. What's Hot: Creative's latest edition gives you the perfect combination of music, videos and FM radio. Offering 25 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video, the Zen X-Fi2 is really a dream come true for every music fanatic. Apart from having a lavish look, another outstanding feature of this masterpiece is its high audio quality – you can’t help but jive to almost each and every song it plays. Its magnanimity in supporting all kinds of audio and video formats makes it a real king amongst the range of music players. However, the really unique selling point of Zen X-Fi2 lies in the fact that it is capable of expanding storage – it can create back-ups of data from a memory card onto the board. You can view photographs on this player and you can also record your voice using its built-in microphone. Its light weight and a pocket size of 102 x 57 x 11.6 mm makes it a perfect music player to take along with you to have a blast. What's Not: With so many intrinsic magnificent qualities, it is hard to criticize the Zen X-Fi2. It could have scored ten out of ten and two thumbs up if it also had a dedicated volume control. Adjusting the volume through its touch screen requires quite some skill.

The Bottom Line : This player is a must for music lovers. It offers everything that a music enthusiast could possibly want.
