Small in Size, but thats about it! (as far as small goes)

byseallogan Oct 25, 2005

Pros Great sound quality, awesome looks, easy menus, endless features, size
Cons HDD noise through earbuds, Battery life?
Recommended it? Yes

I was browsing on the Best Buy website when I stumbled upon this great little player. I will admit, I was attracted to its great looks. Superficial? Heck yeah, but just look at the pretty blue lights.

So I strolled down to my local Best Buy to check this thing out. What luck! It looks... Read full review »

Was Happy w/ B-day present but no more

Pros User friendly, online forum support saved the day- good alternative to the ipod.
Cons I had to return mine for many issues with in the end.
Recommended it? Yes

UPDATE: I have had to return the player for a full refund. As happy as I was with the player, within the last week, it started to act up on me and shut off on it's own- even with a full charge. It then would refuse to restart for up to 10 minutes. It did this once, and I went to CreativeLabs.com to... Read full review »

Pros Excellent sound quality, functionality, size, portability, FM radio, user-replacable...
Cons Finding accessories can be hard, no AC charger, headphone jack broke just out of warranty.
Recommended it? Yes

As I write you this review from the fabulous Kansas City suburbs, I am listening to my still new Creative Zen Micro (DHT - Listen to Your Heart in case you were wondering :-P). I bought this wonderful little device September 7th '05 up at Best Buy for $200.
Basically, I was using my Pentium 4... Read full review »

First Impressions
I purchased my Zen micro at a Black Friday sale and initially loaded it with about 60 songs. 3 days later I discovered it no longer powered on. I charged the player for about 20 minutes and suddenly it powered on again. I thought perhaps it was just a dead battery.

Pros Shirt-pocket size; Good sound quality
Cons Imprecise interface; No recharger; Device freezes; Placement of controls; Slow; Volume...
Recommended it? No

I bought the Zen Micro because it is one of the few players that is compatible with the "To Go" services offered by Rhapsody and Napster. I've owned it for a little over a week and took it on a road trip this past weekend for a full workout. There are some problems with this player:

Pros Small size Ability to download music from any site
Cons It doesn't work!
Recommended it? No

I was so excited to purchase this product, but soon discovered that I had wasted my money. I had to return my FIRST Zen because it was broken--it made a strange humming sound when turned on, and then would not turn off. After purchasing my second Zen, which appeared to work, I had to struggle with... Read full review »

An expensive paper weight

Pros Nothing. It's useless.
Cons Creative technical support.
Recommended it? No

After buying this product, the player forced me to "rebuild my library". Who knows what that means. Now the battery doesn't even hold a charge. The player is locked up. I called technical support which had me do all of the obvious things. Then they tell me in order to exchange it I need the... Read full review »

Excellent MP3 Player

byajtaseer Sep 25, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sound quality is of a high standard, Heaps of features, upgradeable, replaceable battery.
Cons No color screen, not a real issue
Recommended it? Yes

I had my Creative Zen for about 2 months now and I would have to say that it is an excellent piece of equipment.

Essentially the ipod has dominated the market of high storage mp3 players and none have been worthy to comparing to it. The Creative Zen Micro I believe is an ipod killer for a... Read full review »

Much better than iPod Mini

byjosephk Sep 25, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, sleek, good sound
Cons No manual, WMA transfer slow, FM and Removable disk confusing
Recommended it? Yes

I bought mine three months ago because my old mp3 player didn't hold enough and crashed too often. So far, I have not had a single problem with it.


The music transfer is really fast for mp3 files, but is unusually slow for WMA files. Other than that, it seems to be the perfect music... Read full review »

Go with Creative, but NOT the Zen!

bytmanhattan Jul 19, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sound quality (Outstanding noise to signal Ratio), much better than an I-pod.
Cons Fragile player - Easily damaged. Scrolling keypad is difficult to begin with & irritating.
Recommended it? No

I was greatly disappointed with the Creative Zen, since I have had several other Creative players. This is by far the cheapest and smallest mp3 player ive purchased and unfortunately the worst.

After having my Zen for less than a day it began making strange whirring and clicking sounds... Read full review »
