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 16GB of internal memory, the ZEN X-Fi2 also comes in a 32GB version.
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.

Supports multiple audio formats
There are no worries about having a library of audio files in different formats, as the ZEN X-Fi2 supports multiple 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 16GB ZEN X-Fi2 can store 4000 MP3 files (approximately 4 minutes per song at 128kbps), but if you need more internal memory the ZEN X-Fi2 also comes in a 32GB version.
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.

This review is from: Creative ZEN X-Fi2 16GB 3 inch TouchScreen MP3 and Video Player (Electronics)
The lastest firmware (Firmware 1.10.04 ) fixes many of the problems listed in other reviews, including the touch screen responsiveness.
Other features recently added include: - An accelerometer function (when viewing photographs.) - A Sudoku game under the Applications menu (with more games and apps to come.) - And a Colourful new menu. - Hold the 'home' button at any time to bring up the volume control.

For £95 pretty darn good - 16gb version,
This review is from: Creative ZEN X-Fi2 16GB 3 inch TouchScreen MP3 and Video Player (Electronics)
Great quality video 8/10 and screen size is okay 7/10 , sound quality is good too 9/10, touch screen 7.5/10 is much better after getting the latest firmware update.
PC Software even after downloading latest is a bit slow and seems to crash a lot, be patient and it's ok 4/10. I do like the way you can import playlists and their files from Windows media player. Applications are mainly a bit rubbish, slow, unresponsive and crash 4/10. Battery life (claimed time 8/10) not sure yet but seems to last a reasonable time (thanks to the mini USB slot i can plug in a usb battery pack to extend battery life anyway) MicroSD not tried out yet but is very welcome for extra storage. Speaker is actually not bad for its size 7.5/10. As others have said it would be handy to have buttons for volume control or just a volume bar one touch away.... Overall i would say that for the money in comparison to other MP4 players if you go 16gb i am very happy with the device for my purposes (music and video 9/10).

Creative X-Fi2. Don't knock it til you've tried it,

This review is from: Creative ZEN X-Fi2 16GB 3 inch TouchScreen MP3 and Video Player (Electronics)
I've been looking around for a new MP3 player for a while, wasn't too keen on the Apple equivilants to Creative. Especially at the price they are offering for such a player. I was looking for something that would be able to double-up as a music station for my new speakers (Creative T-10's by the way). I decided upon this, as it suited what i was looking for.
First impressions, this is a great player. Upgraded the firm-ware to the latest, which is all good. OK, there is a niggle with the volume (this is solved by holding the button to the right of the screen to bring it up). Touch screen can be a little fiddly to begin with, but you get used to it after a while. The X-Fi technology does what it says on the tin, improves the quality of the music on the player up to 10x. The bundles ear-phones are great, blocking out upto 90% of the outside sound (increased volume damages the ear-drums). This also comes with some apps as well, mainly Sudoku (which is good). Recommended player to anyone looking for an alternative to Apple.
