Creative Technology Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital entertainment, today announced the Creative ZEN® X-Fi® with Wireless LAN digital media player for music, video and photos. This exciting new model follows hot on the heels of the highly popular Creative ZEN X-Fi, the only player to feature award-winning Xtreme Fidelity™ X-Fi audio technology.
The Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN introduces a new way to experience music in your home. Its Wireless LAN capability enables you to wirelessly stream and download music from your PC to your player over your wireless home network, and playback in X-Fi audio quality. From anywhere in the house, the Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN can access the music on your home PC, which can be played through the built-in speaker, a home speaker system, or the Creative ZEN X-Fi Docking Speaker System accessory. You can also stream and download your video files and photos directly to your Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN from your PC. In addition, you can stream a variety of ZENcast and podcast channels to the player.
The Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN also lets you experience your music with the sound quality of the original recordings. To truly deliver the ideal music listening experience, Creative includes a set of premium EP-830 in-ear earphones with every Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN (as with the Creative ZEN X-Fi). Alternatively, share your great-sounding music with your friends by using the built-in speaker.
“We’re delighted to be able to add Wireless LAN convenience to the standard-setting sound of ZEN X-Fi,” said Mr. Leonard Yap, Marketing Manager of Creative Labs Middle East (CLME). “This gives you the freedom and flexibility of being able to listen to music, watch videos and view photos on your Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN that are stored on your PC. You can also wirelessly add your favourite music, videos and photos to your player from your PC, so you’ll always have them with you wherever you go.”
