Excellent

8.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Jasmine France
Review date: 6/20/06

The good: The Creative Zen V Plus offers a cute, pocket-friendly design without sacrificing screen real estate, and the vivid OLED display is viewable from any angle. The player is packed to the gills with features, including an FM radio, voice and line-in recording, photo and video playback, and compatibility with subscription WMA tracks. It's the first flash player to be offered with up to 16GB of memory. Oh, and the sound quality and battery life are great too.

The bad: The Creative Zen V Plus's joystick is really small and has a cheap feel to it, and we wish Creative had included all the buttons found on the Vision:M. The screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight, and there's no UMS support.

The bottom line: The Creative Zen V Plus is a superb choice for anyone looking for a compact and feature-filled flash MP3 player with great sound quality. If you're looking for a more sophisticated design (or have large thumbs), look elsewhere.

Product brief - Creative Zen V Plus (4GB, black)
Hide

Description: The Creative Zen V Plus is a 4 GB, large capacity player. Compared to other large capacity MP3 players on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $90.

Pros: Has a 92 dB signal-to-noise ratio, which is more favorable than some similarly priced MP3 players. In fact, the typical cost of a product with this favorable a signal-to-noise ratio is $115. (Signal-to-noise ratio is a measure of the strength of the audio signal in comparison to that of the background noise. A lower signal-to-noise ratio means that the device produces more hiss and static, while a higher number (closer to 100) means clear-sounding audio.) Also, this MP3 player comes with 4 GB storage, which is more spacious than some similarly priced MP3 players. By way of comparison, the typical cost of a product with this roomy a storage is $130. This unit comes with a radio tuner.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Suited for those with a large library of music. Listen to your favorite local stations on this radio equipped player. Comes with equalizer presets to easily tailor your listening experience. According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 15 hour(s) between charges; your run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Comes with a 1 year warranty, which is standard in the industry.

Value: In general, this MP3 player's features are as expected for this price.

Suggestions: Audiophiles may wish to buy aftermarket headphones for better sound reproduction.
