Creative Zen V Plus user reviews (8GB, black)

4.5 stars

"Great alternative to I-pod" on February 18, 2008 by airbrn2b

Pros: Easy to use, good sound quality, good picture

Cons: Small Buttons, poor shuffle algorithm

Summary: I've owned three of these now, starting with a 2 GB, a 4 GB and have had my 8 GB for almost 9 months. The sound quality is good along with the Zen's preset equalizer or with its customer equalizer. With the 8 GB, I can easily hold 2000 songs in a WMA 128 bit format. The few pictures I have on here are clear and in a good quality. I haven't used the video at all though. Battery also holds charge very well.

The Zen does have some small buttons and is sometimes hard to use in that aspect. Also, as with many mp3 players, the shuffle algorithm stinks. Would also be nice if Creative included a wall charger instead of just a USB cable for charging. I picked one up through Dell for a decent price.

I love this product but only Creative carries accessories for it. But Creative also has some great portable speaker systems that compliment the Zen V's plus as a great alternative to I-pod or Zune.

Highly recommend this product.
