Apparently, the ZiiO 7 is on sale now!

details

Only $250 -- it seems cheap enough that I'm slightly interested in picking one up so I can have an Android tablet to play with. Seems like it could be a bit more useful to play with than one of the cheap, underpowered knockoffs you can find (like the Maylong M-150 and the EKEN M001). Granted, those are less than half the price of this -- so here's hoping the extra cash you'd lay down gives some extra performance! The specs sound about average according to Engadget: "8GB of...

Last week I used my OLD creative zen micro - to record my daughter's wedding.

details

It worked GREAT but for some reason I cant copy the recorded files off it to the laptop! The software crashes each time I try. It worked a few months ago when I was able to add and copy files, but now I cant do that either. (XP is on the laptop) I reinstalled the software, but that didnt work. I am thinking my option is to play the files thru an external speaker and record it onto my OTHER zen (microphoto). (And that will take a LONG TIME in a silent room!) **(that being said, I LOVE my lil...

These are good, not great, but good. I actually own two pair of these. My wife liked the way they feel on her head, so she wanted some.

details

They are light weight compared to others headsets of this size that I have tried. I chose these because I wear glasses and the padding is soft enough to allow me to wear my glasses without feeling the arms of my glasses pinch my head. Because of this, I do not get headaches from the headset being too tight. The sound is good. Lots of bass. The new mic locks into place and it is handy to be able to remove it when not needed. Build quality is good. It feels sturdy enough despite being so light...

i bought these a few months ago and they have great sounds quality. not noise canceling but it does cancel noise around you pretty good.

details

Very comfortable and i can wear em for hours playing. They are bulkier than i thought and the volume up button does seem to get stuck like Veronica pointed out on tekzilla. Def a great buy for me

I still have mine but it doesnt work. perhaps the baterry went off or something. I love that it could record for long hours without any problem.

details

Took it to a concert and recorded the whole thing. Came out clear for where I was standing at the concert. Not even Zune or iPod do that even today. - I have/had both- Hope I could fix it. I miss it.

I'm in the headphone/headset market.

details

I lost my trusted old, EP-630s on Easter and found them soaked and broken in the street in front of my house on Monday. I'm using my Nokia headset for music listening but they only seem to work on my phone. I'm thinking of just buying another set of 630s, but I am also considering trying another pair of headphones. Nothing to fancy, as I'm no great audiophile. Another options is a more broadly compatible headset. Like EP-630i, Razer Moray or Moray+ or something else. I'd like...

Hot

details

I have never played WoW, and don't think I'd enjoy them, but I just saw a co-worker get these today, and I have to say that they are EPIC. I have no clue about sound quality, but both the notion and execution (alliance/horde lights and logo, for example, and also the general shape,size and design) are top-shelf.

Crap quality?

details

Has any one else had the same problems that I do with these headsets? 1. I am now on my 4th cord for this headset, has to buy new ones basically every second month 2. The plastic above the "ear pieces" (don't know the word in english) breaks up and makes the headset useless. Have sent it in to Creative, will get really angry if the dont replace it. Too bad really because the noice cancelling is working very well.

Great for podcasts

details

The simplicity allows for versatility. This is totally a device you could load up with some audio and just give away to someone else, and not have to worry about headphones or anything else. Do yourself a favor and get those mini-USB cables put on every computer you use (home/office/school) and you can get a charge in the middle of the day or rearrange files or double click and play the files. It could use a faster fast-forward / rewind. If I happen to accidentally skip a podcast in the middle,...

It was my first MP3 Player

details

Wow, I loved my Micro - I went with Creative when everyone was flocking to Apple... I liked that the battery was removable - I every have the wired remote... The original software was kind of clunky but it was suffice. I also have Creative's leather case for it. It died a couple of times during warranty so I was able to get it replace without a problem. the only thing was that disappointed me was the headphone jack problem.... I had it repaired at some place after the warranty expired... but... Read more →

Never found a better player

details

I have had this player over 3 years and I still like it better than any other players I've tried. I have tried a Zune 30, Ipod Classic, Archos 600 series, Sandisk, etc. Even another Creative player, the Zen 2nd Gen player doesn't perform as well as my M does. This is the most convenient and easy to use player I have ever owned. It plays most everything I have thrown at it without any hassle. If I have a video file I just transfer it over with a drag and drop (no software install required... Read more →

Half the screen looks like a negative image

details

I have generally love this player, esp. because of all the file formats that it plays. I have had one issue with it though. Has anyone had situations where half of the screen (mine is the right half) looks like a negative image? I am not sure what causes this to happen. It only happens to me once every few months. Anyone else have this problem?

A great headset

details

I was about to add this product but I see Veronica beat me to it, I searched last night and noticed it wasn't on here but it is now, saved me some work. I've known about gdgt for some time but I only joined last night after my girlfriend had Leo Laporte's Net@Nite with Peter Rojas on discussing the features and what the site was about. I bought this headset from Germany back in 2007 for about €40 to use when gaming and also on Skype. The detachable microphone is a very nice feature...

I uncovered my Zen Micro today and turned it on for the first time in nearly two years. I noticed I was given four options; Clean up, Format All, Reload Firmware, Reboot. I want to load up the new firmware onto my player but when I plug it into the computer, my computer recognizes it but the device doesn't recognize it's connected to a computer. I've downloaded the firmware upgrade software and it doesn't detect the device. What should I do? Is there any hope for this device to...

Replacement Microphone

details

I'm having a hard time finding a replacement microphone for this headset. I love it to death and overall the quality of the build is superb. I was recently listening to music and misplaced the microphone portion. With it being a detachable microphone, I thought Creative might of sold the "attachment" separately solely for people like me. Has anyone else lost/damaged their microphone portion? Any luck on finding a replacement or are my best bets to pony up for another unit?
