Reviews of the Creative TravelSound Zen V Portable Speakers
-
CNET Review
The Good: Creative's TravelSound for the Zen V offers a compact design, comes with a handy remote, and will charge the player while plugged in. The speaker can also run off of batteries, and it features a retractable antenna for optimizing reception of the Zen V's built-in FM tuner.
The Bad: When the Zen V is docked in the TravelSound, it doesn't sit flush with the unit. The remote won't power the speaker on or off and turning the unit on doesn't automatically turn the player on as well. Like many compact speakers, this one lacks bass.
The Bottom Line: For frequent fliers who own Creative's Zen V MP3 player and don't want to be stuck listening to clock radios, the TravelSound Zen V is a fine choice.
