Button layout can be confusing
Playing tracks is a little fiddly
Interface is clunky
Buttons are fiddly
The Creative Zen X-Fi's plastic construction does not feel high-quality

The Creative Zen X-Fi's plastic design leaves a little to be desired, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the player is an incredible value overall: for an extremely competitive price you get a boatload of features and great sound quality ...
Abstract: The Dastardly Duo, Dan and Duncan (Dancan, if you will) have been checking out the new Creative MP3 players - the X-Fi, which comes with added WiFi, and the Zen Mosaic. One comes with an arm band, one looks like a childs toy, and much fun was had by a...
Abstract: While the Zen X-Fi is loaded with features and boasts superb sound quality, it’s too slow and frustrating to put many of these features to good use. Creative clearly wanted Instant Message capabilities for the X-Fi, but this had lead to the clunky key...
