Indulge in rich audio where you can hear your music in crystal clear clarity. Take in guitar strumming, crisp cymbal clashes and deep pounding bass as detail lost during file compression are now beautifully restored. The built-in X-Fi technology intelligently moves a conventional left/right earphone stereo source away from your ears, virtually expanding it for an audio experience with a breathtakingly realistic depth of field. You'll feel as if you were listening to your music from a pair of high end speakers. Less

iPod shuffle is based on Apple’s incredibly popular shuffle feature, which randomly selects songs from a user’s music library. The clickable buttons make the iPod shuffle even easier to use. Press the center button to play and pause, press the outer buttons to skip forward and back or adjust the volume up and down. The iPod shuffle now supports Genius Mixes, the popular iTunes® feature that automatically creates mixes from songs in a user’s music library that go great together. Genius Mixes provide the perfect way to rediscover music users already have, but may not have listened to recently. Less

Cons SD Integration.<br> Non-replaceable battery

Recommended it? Yes

I've had good experiences so far with Creative products and the Zen X-Fi did not disappoint.

Creative in recent times have put their foot off the accelerator with their last "big thing" being the Zen Vision:M.

Overall the build quality of the Zen X-Fi is very sturdy... Read full review »

Pros none

Cons does not work coming fresh out of the box

Recommended it? No

I ordered this product from Amazon.com since there are no stores that carry the item and Creative Labs do not sell directly.

The Apple iPod Shuffle 4th Generation Blue (2 GB) MP3 Player

Pros Comes with clip, small, comes with headphones, durable, charges fast, cheap, and holds...

Cons Small, no screen, only about 2GB of memory, and durable but scratches easily.

Recommended it? Yes

The 4th generation iPod Shuffle is surprisingly, not a terrible buy. At 1.1×1.24×0.34 in and .4 ounces it is the smallest iPod yet!

However that is not always a good thing as it is disturbingly easy to lose if you are haphazard with your possessions. ... Read full review »
