Creative Technology announced Creative ZEN X-Fi2, the first mp3 player to feature Xtreme Fidelity X-Fi audio technology. Xtreme Fidelity X-Fi audio technology delivers the best-sounding music, photo and video players on the market at a great value.

“In setting out to design our next generation player, we felt it was essential that we start with the sound quality of the ZEN X-Fi player and make the ZEN X-Fi2 sound even better by implementing the latest X-Fi technology. We wanted to have X-Fi improve the audio playback across all modes of entertainment including music, video and FM music from the radio. Next, we added features to significantly enhance the user experience for music, photos and videos, all in a player with a sleek design. We wanted to make the ZEN X-Fi2 even more fun to use by implementing a touch screen interface. To upgrade the video watching experience, we increased the size of the display with a stunning 3-inch touch screen. The combination of adding a touch screen and a larger display also substantially enhances photo viewing, as now users can quickly and easily scroll through photos “said Joseph Liow, Vice President, Personal Digital Entertainment Products of Creative Technology Ltd and General Manager of Creative Labs Asia.

Creative ZEN X-Fi2 supports a variety of formats, enabling users to access their music ( MP3, WMA, AAC, Audible 4 and FLAC) or movies and videos (WMV9, MPEG4-SP, DivX 4/5 and XviD). This way users can copy anything on their Creative ZEN X-Fi2.

Creative ZEN X-Fi2 will be available in three versions: 8GB (at the price of €129.99), 16GB (at €179.99) and 32GB (at €229.99).
