I like the zen stone plus because it is perfect for the gym not to bulky, downloads music quickly, overall it does what you need if you don't want carrying your other bigger mp3, it is very small and compact.
The built in speaker is the best part, and it cranks. Easy to use, simple pad and menus. Well, I've been using mine everday. I ordered a black one and received a black one. IT HAS A BUILT IN 5 band EQ. It has a great Microphone to record onto the Stone's harddrive. If you go into the menu you will find a 'contrast' adjustment and can turn up brightness for outdoors. (although they could make it a bit brighter) All in all, this was a great buy.
This player has been to 3 continents, suffered from rain, falls and heat. I am very happy with sound quality and versatility. It works just like a shuffle which is what I wanted.What I am really impressed with is the durability. And most grueling, it just survived a full machine wash (pant pocket) and dry and still works perfectly.
I paid a very low price because the product was being retired. I bought this last year for an extended trip. Wow, it work flawlessly and each time I used it I got about 12 hours of listening, yes I reduced my files. I am still enjoying the unit. It has its flaws, but so do the most expensive players.
They replied to my E-mail in about 2 hours, so no complaints with customer service. I just purches two Zen stone MP3 players for my kids. However, I just opened the box to charge them up and the first thing I see is the warning "HANDLING THIS PRODUCT MAY EXPOSE YOU TO CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM". UPDATE.In fairness to Creative, I contacted them about their warning and here is their response. Please retain all the previous correspondence when replying to this email.Best Regards ,***Got to thank California for this law. What the.
Any time lead is used in a product, California law (where our warehouse is located) requires we place a warning label on them because of the possibility of traces being on the outside as well. I have one of my own and for my limited use the player is fine. Dear Customer,Thank you for contacting Creative Labs.The cables have a small amount of lead in them. Ok, so you can argue that everything causes cancer these days, but really do you think I'm going to wrap these up and give them to my kids now. I don't think so. There is the possibility of very small traces being on the cable, however, I can assure you all of our cables are washed after production to ensure your safety.
Makes you wonder how many items there are out there that don't require this disclaimer.
