Touch the Sound of Perfection

The ZEN X-Fi gave you the sound of perfection. Now we’ve gone ahead and made it better. No buttons involved, simply let your fingers work their magic across the 3" TFT LCD screen and access all the player's features instantly.

ZEN Xi-Fi2 now allows you to experience the sound of perfection even with your stored movies and FM radio - with X-Fi technology that restores audio to even higher levels of clarity than before. Immerse yourself in a natural listening experience as the state-of-the-art X-Fi technology intelligently moves the earphone stereo source away from your ears, simulating an audio experience from a pair of high-end stereo speakers.

The latest player from Creative is a step up from its predecessor, the popular ZEN X-Fi. Besides a bigger screen size, the ZEN X-Fi2 supports multiple audio formats including the much desired Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), which delivers audio without compromising on its original quality as well as iTunes Plus (unprotected AAC format), which compresses audio data much more efficiently than older formats. Indulge in true pristine audio where you hear your music played the way it was meant to be heard.

The ZEN X-Fi2 also supports RSS feeds offline, and video out where you can share your videos and photos on your TV. If you need more than 8GB of internal memory, the ZEN X-Fi2 also comes in 16GB and 32GB versions..

Take in rich detail from nifty guitar strumming and crisp cymbal clashes and complete the whole experience with the bundled EP-630 in-ear earphones. These premium earphones are designed to block out external noise and even come with three different sizes of ear tips to offer you the most optimum comfort.

Touch and Go

The ZEN X-Fi2 is the first touchscreen digital media player from Creative. You can navigate with ease on the intuitive 3" TFT LCD touchscreen. There are no tricky buttons involved, just one touch is all you need to access all the media content from the home screen. One tap of the finger will take you through to your, music, movies, photos, radio, and many more features. It also makes controlling your music or movies easier. Once you have opened the movie application, for example, the controls for it appear on the touchscreen. So it is even easier than previous X-Fi players to play, pause, skip or control the volume. The screen has 262,000 colours and a 400 x 240 pixel resolution making it perfect not just for touchscreen navigation, but also for watching movies or viewing photos.

Pump It Up with X-Fi Technology

ZEN X-Fi2 now brings the power of X-Fi to bear on more types of entertainment! Building on the ZEN X-Fi, ZEN X-Fi2 now allows you to experience the sound of perfection even with your stored movies and FM Radio -- with X-Fi technology that restores audio to even higher levels of clarity than before. The adjustable X-Fi Crystalizer allows you to experience the very essence of music perfection as it intelligently restores detail lost during file compression with just one touch. Also included is the X-Fi Expand technology, which brings the most acoustically natural sound staging in headphone audio available from a media player. X-Fi Expand creates more depth to your music by moving the conventional left/right stereo source away from your ears. As a result you will feel as if you were listening to your music from a pair of high end speakers.

The Creative ZEN X-Fi2 can be connected to your TV

Supports Multiple Audio Formats

There are no worries about having a library of audio files in different formats, as the ZEN X-Fi2 supports mulitple audio formats. Relax and listen to your MP3, WMA, AAC, Audible4 and FLAC files with ease. Pre-loaded into the ZEN X-Fi2 is the Creative Centrale software which makes it easier to rip, transfer and manage your media content. If you prefer, you can even transfer files by simply dragging and dropping them. The 8GB ZEN X-Fi2 can store 2000 MP3 files (approximately 4 minutes per song at 128kbps), but if you need more internal memory the ZEN X-Fi2 also comes in 16GB and 32GB versions.

Video Out in X-Fi

Watch movies or view photos with your family and friends on your TV screen by connecting the ZEN X-Fi2 with an A/V cable (A/V cable sold separately). You can connect the cable using the composite connectors on your TV (round yellow jack, and the round red jack) making it quick and easy to plug in and start enjoying. You will be able to watch your movies with X-Fi sound, or listen to the backing music you have chosen for your slide show.

Expandable Memory to Provide More Media Content

In a dilemma over what songs or movies to upload to your player? Limited media capacity is no longer a problem, for the ZEN X-Fi2 comes with a built-in micro SD card slot which enables you access more music, photos and videos in your memory card. You can also transfer files easily to enjoy more media content in your player.

RSS Feeds Download Supported

RSS feeds are downloaded in entirety, including photos (not just article headlines with a few lines of text). Just sync via the USB connection and download RSS feeds from your computer and read them later on your ZEN X-Fi2 on-the-go.

The included Creative EP-630 headphones <br/>provide excellent sound quality and noise isolation

Share Your Music Out Loud

If you are out and about, or even at home, you can share your music out loud thanks to the powerful built-in speaker. With up to 25 hours audio playback you can enjoy your music for hours from just a single charge.

High-Quality Earphones

Included with the ZEN X-Fi2 are the Creative EP-630 earphones, so you can indulge in all your favourite tunes without the noise. The in-ear design reduces background noise and sound leakage significantly while achieving optimum music playback. They are perfect for travelling or commuting where you may wish to reduce background noise, and minimise the sound leakage for the benefit of those around you. Designed to deliver deep bass with balanced tones for all music playback, the 9mm Neodymium magnet drivers enable you to listen to your audio in greater clarity. Get set to enjoy long hours of music in comfort. Three pairs of silicone tips come bundled with the earphones so you can choose the size that offers the most optimum fit. The silicone tips fit snugly into your ears helping to keep them in place whatever activity you are doing.

A Lightweight Masterpiece

With its sleek curves and polished finishing, the ZEN X-Fi2 weighs a mere 70g and fits snugly in your pocket or bag. The 3 inch screen is neatly fitted into a player measuring just 102mm long, 57mm tall and a mere 11.6mm deep. It is roughly the same height as a credit card but a little bit longer.

Never Miss the Latest Hits

Be on top of the music scene and get the latest news with the integrated FM radio. Take your pick from the 32 preset stations in the player.

Record It Now

Never miss out on meetings and lectures. Capture important speeches or whatever you fancy with the integrated voice recorder.

You can now enjoy your music even in lossless audio formats such as FLAC files. In addition, the player also supports iTunes Plus (unprotected AAC format) besides other conventional formats such as MP3, WMA and Audible4. Use the Creative Centrale to rip, transfer and manage your media content easily.

    This is a slim and stylish looking MP3 player. Its fabulously lightweight, always a big plus as i tend to keep it in my jeans pocket. The player can be customised with the available themes or your own picture. Not having had a touchscreen to this degree before i was a bit worried but i find it responsive and easy to use. In fact i love it.

    The sound quality, as with all creative zens is superb and its much easier to pick out the tracks and albums i want to hear than the old micro zen i had, where i was forever hitting the track above or below what i wanted or had to keep chasing them thru the menu. This player has a touch test, which makes hitting the tracks you want simple.

    The lack of a dedicated volume buttom seems to be an issue for some people but does not cause me any problems. A quick way to get the volume slider up is to hold the one button on the front of the player down and the volume will appear.

    Video clips look great, clear and bright with great color as do any photos.

    A big plus for me is the length of the battery life before you have to recharge, my last one lasted about 5 hours, this does seem to go on for the 20 or very close to that one way or the other. Mine was flashing as low the other day so i plugged it in for 4 - 5 mins as i wanted to rush off to the shops with it and it was still happily going 2 hours later.

    It took me a long time to pick and decide on which player i was going to buy and i am so glad i picked this one. No regrets at all. If i was to lose it i would rebuy the exact same one.

    Fantastic 22 Sep 2010
    I bought this with some trepidation after the adverse comments by reviewers regarding the touch screen.
    Ignore them. If you use the tip of a fingernail, rather than the tip of a finger there is no problem whatsoever. The lack of a dedicated volume control is a minor annoyance, but that's all.
    I have a Sony e-book reader whose touch screen is far worse than this yet reviewers seem happy with that. Makes you wonder what they expect for less than £100. Compare it to the price of an iPod!
    Great piece of kit

    This is by far the best MP4 player I have ever had. I have had an Ipod which was good but I like the drag and drop option and you don't have to convert all your music.

    The sound quality is incredible. The ear phones are amazing and do block out most noise from around you. Touch screen can be a bit slow, and volume is a bit annoying to change. But overall this is really good.

    Love the fact you can have film on here two have got a few friends episodes, photos and music, and still got almost 3GBs left.

    Overall best multimedia player I have had love the built in speaker, and the fact you can have your photos as a wallpaper. Would highly recomend this and alot cheaper for a simiular object by another brand.
