Portable media player seems to be the latest “fad” of this generation. As soon as manufacturers started to realize the immense marketing potentialities associated with this peculiar niche, they began dispersing various types of digital AV players - to keep the customers interested. The Cowon S9 digital AV player seems to fit that bill of an all-in-one AV player - you too will be realizing the same once you spend some time to ponder over this review. Although countless other products are being released on day to day basis by the competitors, this digital AV player has already carved a niche for itself.

The present generation likes to carry their media files with them at all times. Whether it is a stroll on the park or commuting to work on the subway, they have one reason or the other to purchase a portable media player. Chances are high that you might own a couple of them too. Yes, a couple of them - ever since the process for portable media players were lowered, many have started investing on more than one player for their personal entertainment. Any ways, in here, I will list certain features of the new Creative Zen X-Fi portable media player.

1. Protecting your asset

So, you’ve just splashed your hard-earned cash on a smart, new MP3 player? Now, surely it’s sensible to spend a few more money on a cover to keep it shiny and new – not least after the horror stories surrounding the nano’s scratchability.

2. Hearing every sound

Much like elsewhere in hi-fi, neglect one key aspect of your system, the other components will be underperforming. Even great MP3 players can be humbled by the low-quality ‘freedie’ headphones they’re usually sold with. Upgrading to even a budget pair of phones can transform the sound. The £35 Sennheiser PX100s remain as good an investment for better sound.
