Zen X-Fi2 – Review, Price and Specifications

Zen X-Fi2 is one of the best audio players from Creative yet – this is a touchscreen player and does not have fussy buttons involved. It simply lets your fingers work magic across the 3″ TFT LCD screen and gain access to all player features instantly.
The ZEN X-Fi2 allows you to experience stellar X-Fi technology even with your stored movies and FM radio1, restoring audio to even higher levels of clarity than before.


Besides a bigger screen size than its predecessor, the ZEN X-Fi2 supports multiple audio formats including the much desired Free Loss less Audio Codec (FLAC), which delivers audio without compromising on its original quality. The player also supports iTunes® Plus (unprotected AAC format) which compresses audio data much more efficiently than older formats.
