6GB Zen Neeon Hits the States

Creative

By: Grahm Skee on November 22, 2005 6:27 AM

Many months ago Creative released the Zen Neeon in Asian countries. But finally, at last for those who were waiting it is now available in the US. I believe that it is the smallest microdrive MP3 player at the current time. The player supports your run of the mill formats, MP3, WMA and WAV, has an FM tuner, and line in recording.

Reviews of this player have not been great. It seems that Creative was going for style over functionality. Regardless, it is a good deal at under $170 for a 6GB MP3 player.

[Buy It]

Update: I just saw it at Circuit City for $150 not a bad deal at all.

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Samsung P3

The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
