Creative Labs EP-630/A Earphones

from: Creative

July 07, 2005
Yes, these are excellent earphones. They deliver good quality sound and substantially reduce outside noise. The rubber inserts which fit over the ear pieces (3 pairs of different sizes) are comfy enough to wear for several hours and are easy to clean. They're so good at eliminating outside noise that you need to keep your wits about you when wearing them in the street. Better than the `noise cancelling' phones which Sony and others offer and which come at a hefty price. They're certainly good for listening to relaxation and ambient music.

The only minor point is that, while the cord at 120 cm is a good length for portable devices, it's not quite long enough for static kit - my pc sits close to the floor and the cord is a bit ... Read More:

Creative ZEN 4GB MP3 Player

from: Creative

September 29, 2007
had this for 4 weeks now and can't beleive how good it looks and sounds.can't fault it.i just download from wma and it is so quick to sync.impressed that it displays the artwork as it looks really cool.
to the reviewers querying the battery life,i've only just found out that although the display dimms when you're listening to music if you slide the on/off switch in the opposite direction until it clicks,this cuts off the display altogether thus conserving battery life.all in all a lovely little player.

Creative ZEN 8GB MP3 Player

from: Creative

September 19, 2007
Fantastic little player. Having owned both a Sony mp3 player (Great player, rubbish, chunky, DRM infected software) and an iPod (Just plain rubbish, returned after 4-5 months, in which time I'd already had two full replacements - and iTunes is just yuk *shudder*) This little thing puts them both firmly in the shade.
I've owned it now for about 3 months and had no issues whatsoever. Like a lot of the people on here the fist thing I did was to flash the firmware, updating the player with the US firmware as it got rid of the rather low EU set volume level limit (A good idea in practice - but I use the thing in a gym and other types of noisy areas)
It has performed flawlessly since, you don't even need the supplied software as it integrates into XP ... Read More:

Creative ZEN 16GB MP3 Player

from: Creative

September 29, 2007
Have just recieved my new zen this weekend and am writing this within 2 days of reciept. You can colour me unimpressed! I have always preferred Creative to Ipod due to the range of digital audio it will play and the simplicity of use. I decided to get this model as I had filled my zen Micro 8 gig to capacity and wanted more space - I knew I would be happy with the next zen as the micro had given me no problems previously.
Sadly the moment I opened the box I knew I was in for a disappointment. THERE IS NO CHARGER WITH THIS ZEN! And further more it is a sealed unit - no longer can you replace the battery when it ceases to charge.
The charging / download lead is three inches long. Even with my relatively up to date pc it dangles from the front of the cpu like ... Read More:

Creative ZEN Leather Case

from: Creative

September 14, 2007
Nice compact case for the Zen. Has a nice feel to it although smells very plasticky!

I thought the belt loop would be a pain but actually (I don't know whether it's supposed to do this) it acts as a perfect stand for watching videos on the train. A big, unexpected plus.

Some kind of screen protector would help and slightly annoying is the inside edge of the case slightly covers the 'next track' button.

The holders for SD cards would be useful but I've got a 4gb SDHC card in which is plenty for the videos I need to have on it.

Good looking case that would get 5 start were it not for a couple of minor irritations.

Creative Inspire T10 Speakers

from: Creative

October 03, 2007
After extensive reviewing of all the speakers that Amazon had to offer, these seemed to have great feedback and fitted my budget - The reviews weren't wrong!!!
They are very solid, well made - and the sound quality is great! a worthwhile purchase.

Creative ZEN 32GB MP3 Player

from: Creative

January 23, 2008
Until recently I had been using an 8GB Sansa E200 from Sandisk and had been very happy with that, minor software problems aside. I was tempted across to the Creative ZEN 32GB player due mostly to the sheer size of the memory and also through the ability to add storage in SDHC format and also the built-in FM radio...and have been extremely happy with it.

It is extremely simple and intuitive to use for both the menu and also the ability to work well with Windows Media Player (which the Sandisk never quite behaved with). It looks very good and has an excellent screen quality. The sound quality is very, very good and shows no distortion at all when cranked right up or when any of the custom equalizer settings are set up to max 12.

I did have a bit of an ... Read More:

Creative Zen Stone Plus 4GB Black

from: Creative

October 03, 2007
I do love my new Creative Zen Stone, but I only wanted a tiny mp3 player to put my favourite tracks on to so that I can carry it around easily and listen to everything on shuffle. It's brilliant for that. (I already have a 30GB Creative Zen vision for *all* my music.)

I haven't bothered with the headphones, as I have a much better set. I reckon Creative should break the mould and offer their mp3s without headphones for those who are clued up to the `the headphones that come with mp3 players are usually duff' fact of life. There is some background noise but I only notice it between tracks and that's only if I'm paying attention. If it's noticeable all the time, it's a good sign you're damaging your ears with the volume you're using.

The radio's naff, so I don't ... Read More:

Creative Zen V+ 1GB MP3 Player with Video Playback & FM Radio

from: Creative Labs

September 10, 2006
My husband bought this item for me for my birthday last year. Looks good, but could only be charged via pc and so useless for holidays. I bought the docking speakers to use with this item so that I would get more use out of it as it charged whilst docked. After 1 month of using the docking speakers the player would not work. I paid £60 for the speakers and now have not got a player that works! Bit of a rip off if you ask me. I also have noticed how many of these players are for sale on Amazon "refurbished" which leads me to believe this is happening a lot.

Creative GigaWorks T20

from: Creative

February 01, 2006
I'm returning these things today. I listen mainly to ambient and downbeat sounds that are reasonably bottom-heavy. The tiny drivers just cant cut it... Hip-hop was just as disappointing. On the other hand, I played guitar based stuff and yeah, I can understand why some people who like that kind of music want to boof these speakers. Just be aware, they are not for everyone. I have a set from Maplin which, though not nearly as sturdy, pretty, or clean on the mid to top, handles the bass much more capably in my tiny bedroom.

Also, whats the go with that little dance people do when they want to get out from the back of a full elevator?? Thats wierd.
