Looking At The Creative Mp3 Player

Full Review

Creative is a legendary company that defines true sound quality ever since their famous speakers made their debut.

Their Creative mp3 player shares this legacy by sporting top of the line audio quality which is the Creative mp3 player’s greatest strength that easily outperforms top selling audio players.

There is an interesting X-fi feature that could enhance the audio quality even further and is customizable in case the sound output needs adjustments.

The Creative mp3 player comes with an exceptional 2.5 inch display that is capable of showing videos. The videos may appear a bit small, but once the earphones are put on, the videos sound livelier than ever.

Note that best audio quality of the Creative mp3 player can be experienced only when the earphones are put on. Without the earphones, the sound can come out from the built-in speakers, but don’t sound that great. The battery life isn’t very impressive too and unfortunately won’t last for a full day. In fact only 15-10 hours of constant full quality audio can be squeezed out of the device before it needs recharging.

There are some good extras in the Creative mp3 player with the organizer taking the spotlight. It is fully featured and complete with tasks, calendars, and events just like what you find in smartphones. Outlook support is included as well so this data can be synchronized with ease.

The software it comes with isn’t really good, but the video convert does an excellent job reducing the file size of videos by over 50%. On the downside, folders won’t be recognized if created so you’ll need to set each song’s properties for better organization. SD integration isn’t included either, but the Creative mp3 player stands out as a true sound performer.

Product Summary

The Good

The audio and video quality of the Creative mp3 player is excellent. The video converter it comes with can compress files really well yet still maintain the quality. The added organizer for tasks with Outlook support is a great plus.

The Bad

Poor battery life degrades this Creative mp3 player. There is no SD card integration and the speakers could use some improvement. Videos take a long time to convert.

Bottom Line

This is a great creative mp3 player for anyone who wants to listen to their songs or watch videos at their best quality. The battery life isn’t that impressive, but the other features make it a pretty good buy.
