The Creative Zen V Plus is an iPod-nano killer with a difference: it might actually be better than Apples media player. When reviewed Creatives Zen V we were delighted to find a device that looked vaguely iPod nano-esque, but didnt feature the s...

Much as Creative might be onto a good thing with its most recent players, its baffling names for them are only going to confuse punters. Do you want a Zen Nano, a Zen Stone, a Zen Stone Plus, a Zen Vision, a Zen Vision: M, a Zen Vision W, a Zen V or a...

Big memory, little chassis. Swift joystick UI. Sounds up for it.

If youve got smaller pockets and want an exceptionally portable flash-based player, the Zen V Plus is a decent choice, although youll need to invest some time in getting used to its somewhat slow and quirky interface.

Tiny size, direct CD recording, video support, good display.
Clumsy interface, re-encoded video files a bit too large, lots of applications to manage.

Good, inexpensive Video and MP3 player Zen is a very popular MP3 player and probably the only real alternative to the overhyped Ipod Nano, and we have to say that this small MP3 player does the job really well. It has its drawbacks, but the first thin...

The Creative Zen V Pro will play video, MP3, WMA and radio for up to 15 hours, and the 8GB space will be enough for a lot of music and small video files. It can act as a USB storage device and it is small and nicely designed. With a price of around &euro...

There isnt one big standout feature that makes the Zen V Plus a "must have" product, but it does a lot of things that a lot of portable media players that cost over three times as much cant even do. In fact, Ill go so far as to say that I cant thin...

It seems as though MP3 players are becoming increasingly feature packed these days, indeed the term “MP3 player” seems like something of an anachronism because of it. The Creative Zen V Plus is a perfect case in point. In addition to its audio capabilitie...

Ultimately, however, one can't help but feel the Zen V Plus is a missed opportunity. Excellent lightweight design and a decent feature set is let down by cheap construction, a clumsy 5-way joystick, awkward navigation and a poor quality display. Above ave...

Because of the FM radio and video support, the player is more expensive than the barebones Zen V, though not by much. In general, the ZVP costs only about $20 more than its simpler sibling, which is an incredibly reasonable price. Even though video pl...

The Creative Zen V Pluss joystick is really small and has a cheap feel to it, and we wish Creative had included all the buttons found on the Vision:M. The screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight, and theres no UMS support.
The Creative Zen V Plus is a superb choice for anyone looking for a compact and feature-filled flash MP3 player with great sound quality. If youre looking for a more sophisticated design (or have large thumbs), check out the iRiver Clix instead.

Sure, Apple iPods dominate the MP3 player market, but dont write off rivals such as Creative. The new Creative Zen V Plus is a very strong offering that could cut significantly into Apples slice of the flash-based MP3 player pie. Available in sever...

Lots of features. Very good audio quality. Cute design. Easy to operate and navigate. Good on-device file and playlist management features, including letter and keyword search.
OLED screen isnt very sharp, and color isnt accurate. Interface is sometimes sluggish. Video conversion and transfer require proprietary software. No power scrolling or scroll acceleration.
Overall, the Creative Zen V Plus is a very satisfying and reasonably priced device for mainstream consumers. It is jam-packed with features, and though the photo and video functions arent particularly impressive, the audio features are sure to please...
