The voices sound a little dull, the music sounds relatively clear. I'm used to the Creative Zen quality and was therefore not so excited when I first heard pure. The battery life is quite good, but here is the Creative Zen again better. The shuffle function is somehow also nciht compelling, I have a feeling that it nciht properly mixed, which is strange. I really wanted to buy the newer model, but that was nciht available. I recommend you to order a newer model! this mp3 player is for travel but still quite good.
