Despite this, though, the X-Fi remains a highly impressive player. It's absolutely crammed with features - some useful, some not - has good storage capacity and its memory expandability allows it to challenge even some hard disk-based players. Sound quality is good, if not outstanding.
But whether it can be viewed as a good deal or not depends entirely on whether you already have a pair of decent noise isolation headphones or not. If you haven't invested yet (shame on you!) it's a decent package; if you already own a pair of Sennheisers or Shures, however, £150 for a 16GB player (even one with so many features) looks a little overpriced.Read full review
This might well be a first, as I 'pretty much' agree with your review, only differing with your opinion regarding the control layout, which I (personally) find unnecessarily convoluted and counter-intuitive, and the (still) abysmal SDHC card implementation.
It's a decent effort by team Creative, but they still need to work on the annoyingly low output volume and over-all 'feel' of the player to be seriously competitive.

yeah, dude. i use a chumoy amp, same case a the "fire in the head" column from TR. brilliant bits of kit, never leave home without it, literally.
anyway, how does the sound quality of this compare to the original zen?
What's the firmware on the zen xfi? I just realised that they have a latest firmware ver1.03.01 said to improve the sound with x-fi. How does it sound? From what I understand the x-fi expand seems to be more for movies just the x-fi cmss3d on their x-fi sound cards.
