By
July 31st, 2008
Summary
Experience your MP3 music as the artist originally intended with Creative ZEN X-Fi - the first MP3 player to restore the quality of compressed music with award-winning X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity Audio technology.
Indulge in rich audio where you can hear your music in crystal clear clarity. Take in guitar strumming, crisp cymbal clashes and deep pounding bass as detail lost during file compression are now beautifully restored. The built-in X-Fi technology intelligently moves a conventional left/right earphone stereo source away from your ears, virtually expanding it for an audio experience with a breathtakingly realistic depth of field. You'll feel as if you were listening to your music from a pair of high end speakers.
