Creative Zen Stone Plus with Speaker 2 GB

I never had a great respect for Creative's audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best 'above average' and normally 'average' audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions ...  Read the complete review

++First Impression++ My first impression from this Zen is the size. It is absolutely minute! I really don't know how all the feature fits into this Zen. I also like the circular buttons which somehow reminds me of the original series of ipod. The screen is also the same size as the circular buttons which brings the whole Zen exceptionally small. ++My Review++ In the box, you get the usual equipments from an expected mp3 player box so nothing really exciting here - manual, mp3 player, earphone, link cable. When i took out the mp3 player from the box, i was stunned to see the shortest link cable in the world. i was so intrigued by the its length ...  Read the complete review

I choose this player as a free gift for extending my broadband package with British Telecom, about a year ago. I was initially sceptical of its size and couldn't believe that such a compact device was so feature packed (I still remember being amazed at the portability of my 1980s Walkman cassette player). Charging the player is straightforward using the supplied USB lead. The necessary software was quickily installed from the Creative CD and it took me only a few minutes to access my music library. I use Windows Media Player and the Stone Plus appears, when USB connected, as a device with sub-categories Artist, Albums, Songs, Genre, Year and ...  Read the complete review

I bought this mp3 player around 2 months ago as I was after something smaller and lighter that I could take to work, as my current 20gb iriver mp3 player was just to bulky and heavy to have in my pocket all day. I chose this mp3 player over others as it was very small, looked nice and with 2gb would also be plenty of space to keep enough music to keep me entertained for a month or 2 before changing it. Also the final deciding factor was the price, it cost just £24.98 from curry's which strangely enough was 1 penny cheaper than the normal Zen stone which has less features such as the lack of LCD display and I believe has no radio. My first ...  Read the complete review

I bought this mp3 player about a year ago and it pretty much does what it sais on the box! The Zen Stone is easy to understand, it's easy to charge BUT....the battery life seems to be quite low on this one. It does promise around 14 hours of playing time but even when fully charged, the most I've gotten out of it is about 3 hours. Which is a bit disappointing when you want to use it on a long train ride. I had another Creative mp3 player before this one that took AAA batteries and that's one feature I do miss in the Zen Stone. Apart from the short battery life, I find this mp3 player is easy to use, has loads of space for the money and the headphones that come with it ...  Read the complete review
