Creative ZEN Mozaic is a Treat for Audiophiles

By Luke • Mar 4th, 2009 • Category: MP3 Players

A landmark product from the house of Creative Labs, the ZEN Mozaic is an MP3 player that is out to rock you and your world like never before. If you are an audiophile you are up for great treat and in case you are still not there, then maybe this product will help you get there.

It has one of the most attractive designs that I have come across in recent times. It has the colours to suit the tastes of both the genders. The black colour is the favourite among the masses and I also have a weakness for it when it comes to gadgets. But in case you are fascinated by pink colour, no worries, there is a Creative Labs Zen Mozaic 2GG pink model available for purchase. The MP3 player is offered in various storage capacities ranging from 2 GB to 16 GB. You can play all the popular audio formats on it including MP3, WMA, WAV and audible format 4. It has a 1.8 inch TFT screen and you can view JPEG images on it. In case your interest lies in watching movies, this product plays transcoded AVI formats as well.

Its qualities don’t end at this only. You can tune into your favourite FM station with the help of this player. It has the option of presetting as much as 32 stations. You can record your own voice through the built-in microphone and replay it to your liking. You can also listen to the audio through its built-in speakers, which are not great but are still very decent.

One added advantage with this product is that it has a calendar and a personal information management (PIM) tool. The MP3 player also has the ability to store contacts. Overall it is a great gadget to own for any individual and a must for the audiophiles.

External X-Fi Device By Creative: Enhances Music Playback beyond CD Quality

By Jason • Mar 3rd, 2009 • Category: MP3 Players

Creative has just launched Creative Xmod, a device that enhances the playback quality for MP3, WMA, iTunes or AAC songs to beyond the original CD quality. It’s based on the Creative’s X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio platform which is known for improving sound quality. The Creative Xmod is a candy bar sized device that connects between speakers or headphones. You can also connect it to a PC, Mac, iPod, Creative ZEN or any other MP3 player to improve listening experience. It basically converts the acoustics to the X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity standard.

The Creative Xmod improves all the frequencies, i.e. low, mids and highs to deliver richer sound with extended bass. The best thing about Creative Xmod is that you don’t need to re-purchase the music in higher format. The device is potent enough to remove all the sound impurities at first hand. X-Fi Xtreme fidelity is based on two basic functions, X-Fi Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D. The X-Fi Crystalizer enhances MP3 music a lot by identifying those parts of the track that got damaged during compression. On the other hand the X-Fi CMSS-3D generates a virtual surround sound effect through speakers or headphones like the Creative Labs Aurvana Live! headband model. The X-Fi CMSS-3D enhances the audio in a way that the listener feels surrounded by a multi-channel Hi-Fi home theatre system.

Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative said, “There are more than 100 million people who listen to MP3, WMA or AAC music on their PCs, Macs or iPod or ZEN players, but the quality of these compressed music are highly compromised. The Creative Xmod enables them to listen to their music with audio that sounds even better than CDs. Now with Creative Xmod, all your music is instantly upconverted to Xtreme Fidelity standard in realtime through a simple and compact device.”
