Zen V Plus 2 CB MP3 Player - Black/Green

Strengths:

This MP3 player is awesome! It stores all my pictures, music, and videos.

Weaknesses:

None yet, I bought it recently.

Posted Feb 12, 2007 - I recently bought this MP3 player and I absolutely love it. It is small enough to carry with me wherever I go but versatile enough to perform all the functions I need. The wheel makes it easy to navigate and find my files, pictures, music, and videos. No need for CDs anymore - all my music is in one place! I would definitely recommend this sleek, cool-looking MP3 player!

Awesome Mp3 Player

Strengths:

Small, lightweight, sturdy, easy to use menu screens, bookmarking (great for longer audiobooks) very long battery life (15+ hrs), clear sound quality, plays about everything you could desire.

Weaknesses:

No included arm band like other Zen models & sold as an accessory for ~ $20. There is no resume capability so have to bookmark long videos or audiofiles so you dont have to scan. No UMS capability.

Posted Apr 24, 2007 - All in all, this is a great MP3 player, it is very easy to use and seems very sturdy and its size makes it an easy travel companion. I have used it for some long trips and was really impressed with the battery life and the amount of music/audiobooks I could upload onto it. I am a big fan of the audiobooks and was pleased to find the bookmarking capability available so I could return to wherever I left off in case I had to turn the player off for some reason. The lack of an included arm band is a bit annoying since it has become a bit of a necessity if you are going out for a run, bike trip, or to the gym. The only heads up, if you are planning on using this to download files at work and do not have admin rights to your machine, the Zen V plus is not automatically recognized as a usb drive and will require an admin to install some software before you are able to transfer files. If this is not an issue, than no worries. Overall, this is a highly recommended player for anyone who is looking for superior functionality and does not want to shell out a ton of cash in the process.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS MP3 IS SENT FROM ABOVE!

Strengths:

DURABLE!!!!!!, great sound, amazing product

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Feb 7, 2008 - I have dropped this mp3; down 3 flights of stairs (all at the same time), into a muddy puddle, off a second story porch and it bounced off the pavement into a kiddy pool. I have also put this thing through a washing machine, it has been attacked twice by a dog, and once by a hyper two year old, and not to mention dropped by me hundreds of times! And after all of those things that would of put normal mp3s into a scrap heap, my mp3 works perfectly fine, and the only negative results of all the torture I put this thing through, is just a few tiny scratches on the screen.

Great Player

Strengths:

Great Screen, easy to use interface, actual volume buttons, easy to use, very small and light, Stellar sound quality

Weaknesses:

Feels a bit cheap, hard for people with small hands to use, freezes periodically, but not a problem thanks to a reset button

Posted Feb 24, 2008 - I have had this player for over a year now and still works extremely well. I love the sound quality on this, better than any other mp3 player i have used. It is also great to have such a small and light player that i can put in my pocket and forget about. It is very easy to use but it may be hard to us the joystick control with gloves or big hands. Great player overall and i would definitely recommend it

Great Little MP3 Player

Strengths:

Compact, Has FM Tuner, Can record music from external sources w/o a PC using line-in, Non-proprietary USB charging cord included, Excellent storage capacity for the money, Long battery life.

Weaknesses:

Does not include A/C charging cord, Not as many accessories readily available as some other brands of MP3 Players, Takes up to 6 hours to charge fully via the included USB charging cable.

Posted Jan 11, 2007 - I bought the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Player for my husband for Christmas after doing a lot of online research. I liked the fact that it was reasonably priced and had the FM tuner and line-in feature. My husband absolutely loves it! He has uploaded about 300 high bit-rate tracks and still has room to spare even with the preloaded images and videos still on it. It is great that this MP3 Player also has the ability to view photos and videos, and the OLED screen resolution is stunning!

Very nice media player

Strengths:

Tiny signature and good sound quality.

Weaknesses:

A little too small to fit a guy's hand, and the sound quality of the earphones is not good enough.

Posted Jan 1, 2007 - Bought this player as a Christmas gift and hence got some chances to try it. This player is very small compared to other players I have used, and is hence a perfect gift for a girl. The operation of this player is very easy which almost makes the manual useless. The bad thing about it is the lack of a wall outlet charger, which may lead to some inconvenience if a computer is not on hand.

Strengths:

FM and Inline recording, etc

Weaknesses:

Major weakness is the battery and it cannot be replaced easily. The A/C charging option does not exist.

Posted 1 year ago - I will not recommend to buy such an option. Carefully, analyze the options such as battery replacement, A/C charging cord, Screen saving options, etc. Moreover, the plastic feels too fragile. In fact, I tried to open the player since the battery life is over in a year, and was surprised to see the quality of plastic is too bad.
