Before you start rummaging around the Apple yard for a microscopic MP3 player, you'd be wise to check out the ultra-sleek Zen V Plus. Because gadget connoisseurs (ourselves included) agree that this iGod-trouncing slice of Creative genius trumps the competition in almost every department.
Tiny size!
Thanks to its crystal clear 1.5" OLED* color screen, watching video clips on the V Plus is a squint-free pleasure. You can even flip vids horizontally for a wider aspect. Okay, so it's hardly a 42" plasma, but if you want to watch the latest Pussycat Dolls video on the L to Brooklyn (and who wouldn't?) this is ideal.
The shapely V Plus also features a convenient line-in jack, which allows you to transfer music directly from a CD player (no computer required). And just like Creative's other players it has a built-in microphone, so you can record voice memos (note to self: this V Plus is friggin’ awesome).
If all this technology is making you sweat, relax: an amazingly intuitive joystick makes navigating menus a breeze; a complete techno-dunce could find the aforementioned Pussycat Dolls vid in seconds. Learning the sexy dance moves is another matter - we've tried!
 Mic, Line-in, Headphones and USB 2.0
In fact we can think of no good reason why you wouldn't want a Zen V Plus in your pocket right now - unless your pants are in the wash. So get ordering while they’re still in stock. This little gizmo's set to fly off the shelves faster than you can say iWhat.
Contents:
Zen V+, lanyard, pouch, CD + manual, headphones, USB cable, line-in cable.

It's amazing! My Microphoto broke, it was going to be a fortune to fix so I looked around and found the V+, it's great and tiny. I can fit it in any pocket or handbag. And is uber easy to use.

I did my usual 'check it out before spending the dosh' & after a few drinks in the pub whilst shopping I got the V+ model. I love it, great sound, reasonably priced & great features. It looks lovely & everyone who sees it loves it & wants one, even the IT geeks at work are quietly impressed!!!

This is the greatest flash-based MP3 player on the market. Small, but not too small, tough, intuitive controls and decent memory. A must have, I swear.
Pete, Liverpool - Mar '07 |
This dinky little player is great. The software couldn't be easier to use, i've got Scrubson mine at the moment!
My only problem is, I have an 8GB one and it says if you turn it on its side, it will rotate the screen. This is NOT the case, I don't know whether this is me being a fool or a player error.
But all in all, great!

This is a great product. It is so small. The only problem is the battery only lasts 6 hours and you have to charge up on your computer but overall its really good.

If only this little box took photos and was dab I would wet myself with joy. Maybe the next one eh.
Firebox says: Woah there Daren, maybe have a spare just to be on the safe side?!

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can plug this into my hifi and record my vinly records onto it?? Then transfer my records onto my pc??
Firebox says: Best use the USB Turntable, super easy that way. If not you can record music directly from your CD player or other playback source with the supplied Line-In cable instantly in just a few simple steps, yipee!

Hi there!
I didn't order this product from Firebox, I ordered from... Amazon! *blush* - sorry, it won't happen again.
Anyhow, I took my little gadget out of the box, and my first thoughts were "Whoa, look how dinky it is!". It's true. This is a sleek, compact but still fun-looking device, and lookswise, beats the ipod in every way. Who wouldn't want an mp3 player that looks like a little bubble?
Well, I plugged it into the computer and started draggin' and droppin', and was impressed with how many songs it could hold. I easily got up to 1500 (granted, they were small) and it wasn't even full.
It's an amazing little thing, and it quickly became my best friend (my human friends weren't pleased, some even ordering a V+ simply after having seen mine).
The only problem I have with this thing is the size. It's not on hard drive so it's only 4GB. If a 20GB came out today I would buy it straight away.
So it really is an amazing player, don't hesitate in buying one RIGHT THIS SECOND (only if you ordered from firebox of course =P).
Firebox says: Luce- we forgive you for being unfaithful to Firebox, but don't let it happen again! And for those of you who want slightly more memory on your V+, there is an 8GB version. Or as an alternative you can get the Vision:M which is a massive 30GB!!
Luce, Manchester - Jan '07 |
Pardon me while I say: "PHWOAR!".
Firebox says: Now we're blushing even more than when we read Daniel's review...oh...you meant the player not us?
Matt Williams, Salisbury - Nov '06 |
Absolutely fantastic, tiny, well designed, brilliant look, good memory, video playback. I think apple will struggle to make something half as good as this, especialy for the price.
btw firebox - I love the service, ordered late tuesday night, arrived thursday :d with the packet of sweets.
firebox you are a god.
Firebox says: Thanks Daniel, you made us blush :)
