Creative Zen X-Fi2

 

Get creative with your digital media and separate yourself from the masses.

Despite not being an iPod touch, Creative’s Zen X-Fi was a more than capable portable media player that offered several unique features and standout style. Announced last month, the follow-up Zen X-Fi2 carries over all that was good from the original,...

Creative Zen X-Fi2 portable media player

 

The Creative Zen X-Fi2 is portable media player with a touch screen and 16GB of inbuilt storage

Excellent sound quality, plenty of features

Interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish, the body feels cheap and flimsy

Creative has impressed us with the latest addition to its gutsy range of media players. One could easily mistake the Creative Zen X-Fi2 for an Apple product, and overall it's a lovely lightweight portable media player.

Creative Zen X-Fi2 (32GB) review

 

This multimedia player may represent good value, but while Apple's around, its performance is just mediocre

Price ; large colourful menu system ; long battery life

Sluggish touchscreen ; music lacks clarity and detail ; cramped screen when watching video

The X-Fi2 2 represents decent value, but nothing more. There’s definitely room for improvement, even at this price

Creative Zen X-Fi 2 review

 

Creative's first touchscreen MP3 player - but does it measure up?

Excellent sound quality ; X-Fi expand works! ; The price is right ; microSD expansion ; Good earphones bundled

Touchscreen is horrible ; No one-hand operation ; Sluggish menu system ; Plasticky design

Creative ZEN X-Fi2 review

 

The Creative ZEN X-fi2 is a light and compact PMP that has plenty of features under its hood. It has a simple look and clean design.The body front has a dark glossy finish with a chrome bezel. It is mainly occupied by a 3-inch TFT resistive touch...

Priced at £99 the Creative ZEN X-fi2 is a good PMP for its wide format support and sound quality. However, its rather slow response and the non-responsive touchscreen stopped it from becoming a superior product.

Creative ZEN X-fi2

 

The first touchscreen PMP from Creative, the ZEN X-fi2 is a feature-pack media player with decent sound quality.

Good audio quality ; External memory card support ; Nice bundled in-ear phones ; FLAC support

Non responsive touchscreen ; Overall response rather slow ; No external volume controls

Good on features and decent media playback but its touchscreen and interface need refinements

Creative Zen X-Fi2 32GB

 

The Creative Zen X-Fi2 is the company's first touchscreen MP3 player which includes expandable storage and native support for FLAC.

Excellent sound quality ; High-quality bundled ear buds ; FLAC support ; FM radio ; Expandable storage

TERRIBLE touchscreen interface ; No dedicated volume or play buttons

It's a pity that controlling this X-Fi2 is so troublesome because in all other ways the X-Fi2 is a definite step up from the previous version. FLAC support is much welcomed, and sound quality is every bit the equal of competitive players. While we'll...

Creative X-Fi2 16GB review

 

The X-Fi2 may have a welterweight price, but with a touchscreen and FLAC support Creative's PMP isn't pulling any punches

A multimedia powerhouse it isn’t, but this little Creative supplies satisfyingly big sound and for a tiny price
