Finally we have a good MP3 player which holds sound quality as the most important feature. Something we've been waiting on for years. And even after the long wait, it's certainly no disappointment.

The X-Fi is arguably the most innovative, feature-packed player on the market, and it's an absolute steal for the price.

It's an outstanding digital music player that rises to the top with ease. The masses may continue to think iPod first when they need a new MP3 player - but it will be a shame if they do. The Creative Zen X-Fi is arguably the most innovative, feature-packe

Great sound quality and some innovative features, plus a superb pair of bundled headphones help justify the high price.

Like the Creative Zen, this is a cracking player that sounds great. The only thing we can think of that could put you off is that it doesn't come with the massive eco-system accompanying that range of MP3 players from Apple.

The Creative ZEN X-Fi continues the tradition of past ZEN players, offering a compelling alternative to the iPod range. However, Wi-Fi and the X-Fi modes are poorly implemented and don't bring much to the table.

If the external speaker had not been applied and the useless Extras had been left out, and if some more effort had been put into X-Fi and Wi-Fi, a small job I think, then this media player would have been perfect. Despite this, the Zen X-Fi gains a high s

It includes a whole new array of features, some of which may be poorly implemented but are great to have, nevertheless. Most of them can be improved easily by a firmware update. It is a great replacement to the Zen with some glitches.

The Creative Zen X-Fi's plastic design leaves a little to be desired, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the player is an incredible value overall: for an extremely competitive price you get a boatload of features and great sound quality.

The styling is sub-par, the storage expansion is poorly implemented, and what extras there are, many people will never use. Essentially, if you value video and sound quality, then go for the X-Fi but if you just want a stylish easy to use mp3 player then

The Achilles heel here is the user interface, which won't win any awards for its simplicity. The ZEN X-Fi almost reminds me of an Archos player with its excellent features, but not-so-great navigation. If you can't get past the cumbersome user interface,

Compared to the Zen, the build quality is improved, upgraded headphones are included, and the wireless feature works pretty well even though it really puts a drain on your battery. But that is as far as I will go as calling the new features improvements.

Creative has thrown something worthy in the market but the major deterrent which could hurt its sales is the price. It is one of the best devices to come out of Creative’s stable and though X-Fi may not be used up to its real potential, it is still worthy

If maximum flash storage for the dollar is what you're after, this is a good choice; if you can live without the WiFi features, the 32GB Creative Zen is even more budget-friendly.

The Creative Zen X-Fi provides excellent sound quality (with the X-Fi Expand turned off) and support for multiple audio and video formats at a very reasonable price. It offers a larger screen and capacity than the similarly priced Sony Walkman NWZ-S718F,

All in all, the X-Fi's a bit of a disappointment. The lack of storage integration, the odd controls and the truly hopeless text input system all combine to take shine off a decent looking and sounding little player.
