Creative has tinkered with the Zen Stone Plus and added a loudspeaker to contribute to its appeal.

Expert Rating:

Great build, Custom equalizer, Bass booster, Good battery life.

Bad placement of loudspeaker, Loudspeaker is somewhat shrill, Data transfer speed is low.

EXPERT REVIEW

In the beginning there was the iPod Shuffle and then came the iPod Shuffle "killers". Most of them managed to do what they set out to do, kill the sales of the iPod shuffle. Creative seems to have taken a personal interest and released not one but two products - Creative Zen Stone and the Creative MuVo. First came the Creative Zen Stone, which lacked a screen and a FM receiver and then came the Zen Stone Plus, which incorporated a screen and FM receiver. However, Creative was not happy with just producing a player that fits in the current low-end portable music player market. So they took the Zen Stone Plus and tinkered a bit and added a loudspeaker.

Bundle

The bundle was a little above basic and includes;

Creative Zen Stone Plus music player
USB cable (for data transfer and charging)
Headphones

There are two extra things in the bundle:

Carrying case
Clip

considering the power problems with this player maybe it is better to buy a mobile phone with speaker although you may have to compromise a little on quality. But if u are to particular about the quality of sound then you can take a chance buying a ZEN

There seems to be a problem with the power system of the battery unit. I purchased 4 players and 2 are dead one within a month of purchase and the second in 2 months.Of course the first one has already been replaced under warranty . Second one is still not replaced. There seems to be no technical support available except replacement which takes about 3 weeks.

SIR,STONEplus with speaker is just stone plus...speaker is just an add on...one must not expect loud or boom box sound from a tiny device and its mini speaker. YET this mini queen has amazing soung quality...with all the lows, mids, highs and bass perfect with very sweet output.IT IS just addictive.NO NEED to go for expensive MP3 players...just buy a creative ep 50 earphone(i dislike inear phone) and the music and song will envelope u like never before. WHEN u see it first u will shocked with its small size but when it comes to the quality it is unbeatable.THE BIG PLUS is very long battery performance...it will just go on....also the flickering jet plane like blue light is very attractive at night and catch attention in any party etc.. also the build is just like STONE as the name is.AND ALL THIS AT JUST RS2500...just buy.AMAZING PRODUCT.

I bought the zen stone plus with speaker for Rs.2,650 at Hyderabad 2 months back. It was good having a loudspeaker to an MP3. And add to this review it also supports iTunes Plus(it specifies on the box but i never checked it out).
