mp3 player POLL!! - cowon iaudio x5 vs creative zen touch

[JoLim24601]

I'm having trouble picking between the two because there's no definitive mp3 player to buy right now and I really don't want an ipod. The iaudio obviously has the better features but the touch is cheaper. im not sure about sound quality but their both pretty much up there. Please don't just say an mp3 player but rather explain why. Thank you.

Between those two, the iAudio wins hands down IMO.

the X5

i have the 30GB X5L
it is awsome

and it supports ID3 tags, someone before was saying it didnt

 

[PlatinumGold]

aren't the IAudios the same as the samsungs?

 

[EmperorIQ]

this has been discussed several times, search for iaudio, you should find what you need.

The iRiver H10 beats both the Zen and the Yepp hands-down. Color screen, same touch-nav & Napster to Go support, etc 🙂

iRiver H10 for t3h win.

iAudio is MUCH better, but also a lot more expensive. I got a 20GB Zen Touch for $200, but the iAudio X5 is $300. If you want the extra features of the X5, get it, but to me, $100 wan't worth it.

FLAC support+Drag and drop= teh win

I think my x5 came up as toshiba when I plugged it in my pc.

Zen Sleek.

Do you have the zen sleek? I'm interested in it, but I'm not sure how it performs. I'm looking for an "affordable" 20GB mp3 player but there're so many choices: Zen Touch 20GB, Ipod 20GB, iAudio X5 20GB, etc... but most of them are in the $300 range + tax. Best Buy sells (backorder 09/16-09/22) the sleek for $250+tax so it's a tad more affordable. The Zen Touch is good too and cheaper but doesn't have FM Radio.

 

[Trevelyan]

Seriously, the iaudio X5 is sweet. Much much much better than the Zen Touch, no comparison. The polls should not be this close.

Trust me on this, the Zen Touch sucks so much in comparison.

 

[railer]

draggin' this up.....

Doesn't the zen have only a 90 day warranty, vs the 1 year warranty on the iaudio?

That would end the debate for me right there. 90 days is utter crap....no one should buy anything from a company like that.....
