Appearance: well done, even with the optional bag (case), available directly in the Creative Store (not Amazon). Sound: Just great, full, rich sound, both in the hills and in the basses. Volume: I will most likely never be able to exhaust. Did it once tested: all my colleagues came and marveled that there came out of the box. Operation: Simple and self-explanatory. Battery performance: For me fully sufficient, had for several days the box up and running, without having to load. Only downside: it lacks a display for the built-in MP3 player, you can therefore select any pieces and allude directly. Thus actually only the recording function useful. But the whole thing is anyway only appendages. Conclusion: Creative has again shown what can be so rauskitzeln from a small box. Is all the money.
