2GB Creative Technology Zen V Plus

Pros: RELIABLE. Very Small. Works with Subscription Services.

Cons: It's white, or at least it was white..I can't keep it clean.

The Bottom Line: It's well-made, sounds great and works with subscription services as well as your old cd's and purchased tracks. (Or Audiobooks, or they have special "Zen Casts" available.)

Review: Purchased 8/10/2007. I have had to reset it twice, but in defense of the machine, I had gotten caught in the rain with it on, and didn't quite get it put up quickly enough. It did not lose any of the songs. I listen to it for about 10-12 hours a day, 5 ...

Pros: Very Small, Color screen, Plays Videos, Long Battery Life

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a small and light player that has lots of features, then look no further. This is the perfect iPod Nano alternative at 1/3 the cost.

Review: I got this player to use while running or biking, since my 30GB Zen Vision M is a little too bulky to use for those activities. I got the 1 GB Black/Orange model, although the other models are identical except for storage size. This player truly ...

Pros: The Zen V Plus is compact & versatile.

Cons: Screen is small

The Bottom Line: The perfect compact player for busy people.

Review: I purchase the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB last year. This player has served my purposes well. I'm not a power user and I have few opportunities to stop and listen to music so the Zen V Plus has been a great player for me. I personally love that the Zen V ...

Pros: Small with enough weight so you dont forget it, pretty good sound

Cons: Small screen, awkward power switch, volume control does not remember settings

The Bottom Line: Love it!!!

Review: I had originally had a minidisk player, but got tired of carrying all of the disks around. I won this unit (2G) and was quite pleased with it. I especially liked the size, and the fact that you can hang it around your neck (not like the ipod shuffle ...

Pros: look, feel, price, quality, features

Cons: joystick, resolution

The Bottom Line: This is an excellent MP3 for the price, or even if it cost 200 dollars.

Review: I recently received a Creative Zen V Plus to use on a vacation, and I am simply astounded by the amount of features they can put in such a small and nice looking device. It really is a lot of bang for your buck, as it comes with a video player, a ...

Pros: Subscription music compatibility, big screen, durable, lots of storage and functions for the price.

Cons: Freezes up, quirky to power on

The Bottom Line: Great player for someone that uses subscription music and wants a sturdy player. Definitely one of the best in the price range.

Review: I bought this MP3 player approximately 2 months ago to keep me entertained at work. I work a warehouse job as a stocker so I wanted an economical player that would hold up to being dropped and banged. Preferably something that wouldn't be completely ...

Pros: Good Sound, Small, Compact and Sleek, stylish,Less expensive than ipods or zune, and excellent lighting.

Cons: Cheaply made, Joy Stick breaks easy, and Customer Service sucks.

The Bottom Line: Save your money and get an ipod because this mp3 player will break easy.

Review: For Christmas of 2006, right after this mp3 player came out, my girlfriend decided to buy me one for christmas as well as one for her self. It was my first product from Creative and didn't know what to expect because previously I owned 3 ipods. ...

Pros: -great small size -easy navigation -good computer software -good tech support

Cons: -can freeze up repeatedly -ear buds broke almost right away -joy stick broke

The Bottom Line: Love the size and functions however durability is unsatisfactory.

Review: I received the Zen V for my birthday last year and had some trouble with the first one. It continually froze up especially when skipping though songs on shuffle. I dropped it once and after that the screen did not work right and eventually just stayed ...

Pros: Small, powerful, looks great, sounds good.

Cons: If it doesn't work you will pay Creative a lot of time and money.

Review: I purchased this player in May 2007 and loved it for about six months; easy to use, sounded great. It never did interface correctly with my computer but I found some work-arounds to get music onto it. After the six month mark, it froze up (stopped ...

Pros: Works great if you carry around a paperclip to hit Reset on occasion.

Cons: Awful customer service; seems designed to break down just outside the 1-year warranty.

Review: Customer Service at Creative seems to have improved very slightly over the year that my daughter has owned her Creative Zen V Plus. I say it "seems to" have because the website makes you think you're getting somewhere when in fact you aren't. I found ...
