Creative ZiiSound D5 - Style Unlimited

iPod docks are a dime a dozen and what consumers need is something more. Creative's ZiiSound D5 is a Bluetooth-enabled speaker that aims to give the consumer exactly that in terms of portability, high quality sound and looks. Let's see if it can...

This is a really good Bluetooth speaker, but is way too expensive at Rs. 17,999. Sure, it sounds good, but it's bass heavy and distorts at high volume. It looks great, but has a cloth-covered front which could easily tear or gather dust. But the D5...

Creative ZiiSound D5 Bluetooth Speaker Review

The ZiiSound D5 is a sound-bar type stereo speaker with an iPod docking port, a Bluetooth receiver, and a Bluetooth dongle that can be plugged into most any model iPhone, iPad, or iPod (except the Shuffle). If you'd prefer to stream from a computer,...

After all, that device costs twice as much and doesn't have a wireless option

Creative ZiiSound D5

Bluetooth wireless audio is notorious for its defects: the splashy, distorted sound of low bit-rate files and the sputtering that comes with an interrupted signal. Creative continues to dodge these pitfalls, however, first with its Inspire S2 Wireless...

Quality wireless audio. Simple, visually pleasing design. Bluetooth dongle lets the iPod becomes its own remote control. Works through walls

Speakers can't handle deep bass at high volumes. Bluetooth audio signal can be weakrange must stay within roughly 30 feet. When docked, iPod still uses Bluetooth instead of direct connection for audio

At $300, the slick Creative ZiiSound D5 seems a bit overpriced, but what you miss in hi-fi audio performance, you gain in wireless capabilities.

Wireless bookshelf iPod speakers

Few iPod speakers received as many raves in 2010 as the Creative ZiiSound D5. This one-piece iPod speaker system has a trick up its sleeve -- it can stream music wirelessly from your iPod or iPhone, so there's no need for a traditional dock. The...

Wirelessly streams music, sleek design, very good sound quality

Expensive, onboard volume control is too sensitive, some distortion at maximum volume

Creative ZiiSound D5 Review

The ZiiSound D5 is Creative's flag ship compact speaker system and centered around Bluetooth audio. I have tended to shy away from Bluetooth audio devices since most of the devices I have tried came up pretty short in terms of sound quality. In short,...

What I like the most about the D5 is the sound to size ratio and the versatility of being able to use different devices. For these reasons it will become a permanent resident in the corner of my living room. The solid design and quality materials is...

Creative ZiiSound D5 Bluetooth speakers review

The ZiiSound D5 is Creative's flagship product from their line-up of wireless speakers. It is pitched directly at owners of Apple iPhone or iPod owners, but using Bluetooth for the wireless connection, is equally proficient with other Bluetooth devices.

Sound quality, compact, wireless iPod transmitter gives you freedom

Price, touch controls can be temperamental

It may lack the more distinctive design of the B&W Zeppelin Mini, but it also comes in at around £20 cheaper and brings with it the benefits of a versatile wireless system, making it a serious consideration if you are in the market for a compact iPod...
