Creative Labs Zen x-fi 2 Costumer Review
Best Zen I've owned! (And that's out of a lot of Zen)
Alright, I'm going to write this first: I do not use Napster to Go. Creative x-fi 2 is NOT compatible with Napster to Go and never was claimed to be on the manufacturer website. In fact, it says directly that it's incompatible with protected music. If you use Napster to Go, Creative x-fi 2 product isn't for you.
Now, you might be reading bad reviews over the touch screen. Well, it's a bit iffy. BUT, it's not as bad as everyone says. I work at K-Mart and their registers are touchscreen. They're worse than the screen in the Creative x-fi 2 and they're almost perfect. I will admit when going through the music list, you'll encounter some weird things with scrolling. You'll try to scroll and accidentally select an artist you didn't want to. That's the ONLY problem with the touch screen.
But, the touch screen problems are well made up for. The sound quality of Creative x-fi 2 is amazing. My computer has HD sound output and these are near, if not exactly, the same in sound. The music is crisp and high quality (note: I usually don't accept anything under 320kbps so, my music is high quality before hand) and exactly how you would want them. I do recommend turning on Bass Boost. No matter what you're listening to (metal, rap, I listen to it all), it'll add that kick you want with your music.
The interface is almost the same as my old Creative Zen (before it became the MX). The main different between the interface of the two is the fact that the icons are all out there to easily access. The menu is easily navigated. I've read reviews that have said that the sound control is only avaliable in the "Now Playing" portion of the MP3 Player, but I've come to discover this is not true. With the holding down of the "Home" button, you can easily access the Volume Control.
The layout of Creative x-fi 2 is pretty much perfect. The power button is out of the way and very hard to accidentally hit. Also, it takes about 4 to 6 seconds for it to even begin to start shut down, so if you're carrying it in your pocket, you won't have to worry about it randomly shutting off. The power button, like in almost all Zens, is, as well, the hold button. There is one other button. The menu button. It's just kind of there. Not badly positioned, but not in the best place.
Edit: I've managed to find a single other con. Creative Labs Zen x-fi 2 isn't the studiest thing every made. It fell out of my coat pocket and one corner of it shattered (compared to my Creative Zen which survived through a car accident with minor scratches). All in all, this is still the best Zen I've owned. As well, a new advantage is the upgrade to the firmware which shows potential in games and applications being added into the players ability, as well as potential for accelerometer (tilt and turn functionality) use.
I would reccommend this Zen x-fi2 32gb
I bought the zen xfi 2 32 gig to hold my extensive music collection. I have other zen products and have been happy with all of them. as other reviewers mentioned the touch screen takes some getting used to. But I found that if you use a stylus, or a ball point pen with the tip retracted works also, the touch screen becomes immediately friendly. no more problems scrolling, etc. I can't believe that zen hasn't figured this out yet and either provide a stylus or tell customers to try one. The majority of the negative feedback in the reviews centers on the touch screen.
that being said , Creative Labs Zen x-fi 2 works great and the sound is fantastic. The provided earbuds produce a great sound, the menus are easily navigated. I use media monkey to store my collection on my computer and it has no problem interfacing with the zen. I would reccommend this product
Couldn't be happier with Creative x-fi 2
I just got my Creative Zen a few days back and I really wanted to play around with it a bit before I left my review.
All and all I have to say I'm VERY HAPPY with my product. Great quality of sound, very easy to use, very simple device. It has all the compatibility I need and I'm really enjoying it so far. Definitely a good buy. Highly recommend. Thanks Creative!
More than pleased with Creative Zen x-fi 2 8gb
Creative Labs Zen x-fi 2 far exceeded my expectations. After comparison shopping for quite some time, I purchased the Creative Labs Zen X-Fi 2 8 GB MP3 player, and am so thrilled about it that I plan to buy four more as X-mas gifts for my family. I absolutely love the touchscreen, and the audio sounds very nice and clean with no distortion. I've purchased five MP3 players and have finally found one with the sound quality I've been looking for. I've been an avid Amazon shopper for the past several years and have never taken the time to write a review on a single product I've purchased, but this one truly is worth chiming in on. I very highly recommend this MP3 player to anyone looking to make sure their dollars are spent wisely. If you've been shopping around, look no further! This is the one you've been looking for....
