After rumors trickled out last week about an upcoming Wi-Fi-enabled media player from Creative, the company finally dropped the curtain on Monday and revealed the new Zen X-Fi. Copping the “Xi-Fi” branding from its own line of premium PC audio hardware, Creative is billing the new Zen as a hi-fidelity MP3 player.
According to the company, enhanced sound quality is accomplished with its own X-Fi Crystalizer Technology, which restores the high and lows lost to MP3 compression during playback. Creative has also emphasized the player’s quality by packaging it with a pair of its priciest in-ear headphones, the $79 EP-830.
