Smell My Data Port

Creative

Zen Vision:M

By: Grahm Skee on May 3, 2007 6:57 PM

Take out your Creative Zen Vision:M and smell the bottom data port. What does it smell like? Bubblegum, blueberries, fruit, something sweet? You won’t believe it until you have smelled it, but it undoubtedly smells colorfully sweet. Really . . . go find a ZVM and smell it or better yet if you have one, walk around sticking your ZVM's data port in other people's noses and ask them what they think it smells like.

I would like to thank the first person who turned their ZVM upside down and pressed it so curiously against their nose. You have exposed a new ~~compulsion~~ feature for all of us to enjoy. I will have to add this to the “Pros” section of the Zen Vision:M review: “Data Port Smells Good."

I like the fresh, fruity smell of my ZVM. In fact, every morning after I wake up, I rub my ZVM under my armpits, and it gives me that fresh, clean feeling.........

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.
