Details
Creative X-Fi technology delivers sound quality that is one of the best among higher-end MP3 players, with excellent dynamic range from deep bass to high pitch tones, and with minimal signal distortion. High quality ear buds produce sound that is pleasant to years.
If you like watching movies on your player, they will eat memory very quickly. Unlike many other MP3 players that are limited in capacity to their internal memory, you can add more memory to a ZEN X-Fi player, so you will never run out of storage space.
Want to show the pictures that you took with a digital camera to family and friends? No problem! Just pop the card into the SDHC card slot.
Packed with features, ZEN X-Fi ceratinly delivers great value for its price.
