Good player, with minor errors ... (see below)

I bought this player, after its predecessor (the Creative Zen) was damaged by water during a heavy rain shower. Thus, I prefer the comparison directly between the two players. I am writing this review as I want to read a would. First the negatives, then the positives and then a summary.

Disadvantages:

- The Zen X-Fi is a little thick for my taste, but
is explained by its functions.

- Creating a Playlist using the supplied software is a
pure agony and the nightmare of every musical friend. The whole must be
do a little trick, the manual is beyond the scope here.

- The supplied in-ear head listening to me are just an invention
the devil. But I'm generally not with this kind of Höhrern
clear. The sound of it sounds much too high and just like that as his
Bass No. (My tip: Sennheiser earphones are awesome)

- Then there are the keys. Some of these are really hard to
operate. Speak without silicone shell that highlights this something
are the buttons a little hard to press. But is habituation thing.
What bothers me more that 4 of the buttons have no function, including
then there are at all has me so far undeveloped. There
I found the "Ring Control" of Zen much better.

Positive:

- The built-in speakers in the Zen X Fi is awesome. The quality
is amazing for such a small speaker.

- The X Fi technology is really great. If someone on good
Enjoying music is like me, then the whole is a must. These offers
the players have the option to turn a 3D sound, what
also additionally provides a good sound.

- The battery lasts to 6-7 hours of continuous use loosely with speaker
out. He also is charged very quickly.

- The display is clear and great to read. It is also good to small
Videos anszusehen or to view some pictures.

- Expandability through SD cards is also not to be despised.

Conclusion:

For the price, a good player, with minor operating problems, but they are getting used to things, and you can handle partially. Whoever listens to his music every day, like me on the bike to work or shopping ect .. is very well advised with this device. Brilliant sound, great memory, speakers ... What more could you want? Oh I even read he had a WLAN function, which I've not yet found and also not looking for it, because that does not interest me.

Each of this unit is sold after 2-3 days acclimatization have been thrilled with it. Wers not buy, which are missing something.
