Creative Zen Style M300 review

Creative's entry-level Zen Style M300 player isn't quite an iPod beater but has brilliant features and audio in a tiny form factor that will attract many in spite of the competition

Pocket-size ; Abundant features ; Value for money

Visual display a let down

One of the most comprehensive budget players through the T3 labs, enhanced no end by Creative’s stunning headphones. Still not quite an iPod beater and the video playback is pointless but a great Zen addition by Creative.

Creative ZEN Style M300 MP3 Player

Entry level MP3 players are facing a slow death and may very soon cease to exist. This is due to the fact that almost all mobiles phones nowadays support music playback and even have expandable memory

The 4GB version of the ZEN Style M300 is available for Rs.3,499, which is decent for a Bluetooth capable MP3 player. The 8GB version goes for Rs.4,999. But, it brings me to my earlier question, is it a worthy investment? Not quite. After buying it,...

works well

worked well and started up using my cell phone without problem I am still loading the MP3 Player and it is working well also. It is not a concern hall speaker but works well with excellent clarity in a room used for quiet listening.

Broke after one week, does not connect Bluetooth

I was very disappointed in this product, considering my past positive experiences with Creative mp3 players (such as the MuVo V100, which had an excellent and tough design). I was never able to pair the M300 with another bluetooth-enabled device, and...

Faulty

The SD Card, while a great idea, is not supported, and scanning the card for mp3s to play will lock up the player indefinitely so the card is merely a USB storage device. The Firmware update refused to work. The tiny screen wouldn't be so hard to look...

Pamela

Still new to using this MP3 player but the sound is very good. Wish there was a clip on the back of the player. Rubbery gripping on the back or sides would be nice. It is so small and sleek that it can easily fall out of someone's hand and I have tiny...
