The Zen Sleek 20GB MP3 Player: Is This a Good Alternative to the iPod?

bysymbiosis Oct 12, 2005
55 Helpfuls 56 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sound quality, fast file transfers via USB 2.0, 20GB storage capacity,...
Cons Hard to use touch pad control, limited availability of accessories.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently decided that it was time to take the plunge and purchase a MP3 player. Since my birthday is fast approaching, I was able to coax my girlfriend into buying this for me, along with a Johnny Cash The Legend box set. I think I'm going to owe her a big present this Christmas! But enough about... Read full review »

Creative Labs Zen Sleek - iPod killer? Who cares! It rocks!

byjkafer Oct 12, 2005
36 Helpfuls 37 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fabulous sound, great design, long battery life, multiple format support
Cons Cruddy case, lack of accessories, earbuds
Recommended it? Yes

The big question that everyone asks when shopping for MP3 players is "Is it as good as an iPod?". Since I wasn't about to buy an iPod, this comparison is moot. After lengthy research, I settled on the Creative Labs Zen Sleek 20 GB MP3 Player and I can't imagine the iPod being a better player. The... Read full review »

A good player, not without some minor drawbacks

bykbuck76 Apr 26, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros "Plays-for-sure" compatibility, good design, good sound, solid iPod alternative...
Cons Dust-trapping screen, potentially finicky battery, occasional crashing problems.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my Zen Sleek for roughly 5 months. I'm pretty satisfied with my experience so far, but there are some issues with the player. For the most part they are minor annoyances that don't detract from the overall quality but one particular problem seems to happen more often with my player as of... Read full review »

Cons INCLUDED EARBUDS!!!!, dust behind screen is overwhelming, lack of accessories
Recommended it? No

*update!!!*
The dust behind the screen has gotten completely unbearable. I eventually couldn't see the screen so I sold it. Despite all the features listed, I can no longer recommend this player. *end update*

I bought the zen sleek after someone destroyed my Zen Touch (which is also... Read full review »

Software:
I have not been able to use the software bundled with the player because I have Windows ME. The Creative website says that the software works with Windows ME but it sadly does not. This caused me extreme troubles. If you have Windows XP you might want to skip this section as I am... Read full review »

Excellent mp3 player

byeddieg415 Jul 8, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 20 gb hard drive for under 200 (rebate). Excellent screen. Sound. All metal. Size.
Cons Non replaceable battery, silly computer hook up.
Recommended it? Yes

I had a creative zen micro photo for about two months. Unfortunately, I got it wet and had to purchase another mp3. I decided to give the sleek a try because it was the same price as the microphoto but had a larger hard drive. This turned out to be a wise decision. The screen on the sleek is... Read full review »

Another Zen in the family

Pros More flexibility, more options, more songs and long battery life
Cons More complex, longer learning curve, included headphones
Recommended it? Yes

My daughter was the last person in the family without an MP3 Player. Since she used her CD Player a lot and I usually had to go find her in order to get my iPod back, I got her a Zen Sleek as a prize for doing really well in school.

I had purchased a Zen Vision:M for my wife as a birthday... Read full review »

Pros The creative is much better than the equivalent iPod
Cons There isn't many cons, apart from the time where it overheated when flicking through...
Recommended it? Yes

The creative is much better than the equivalent iPod, and there is a big difference. The creative is much better. However I have to confess the iPod has never gone wrong, where as at one point the Zen froze and I had to let it run out of its power source before switching it back on. It got hotter...

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A great machine - easy to use, great sound, great design and functionality
Cons Minor niggles (see review), nothing to spoil the enjoyment of a good piece of kit.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had the Zen Sleek now for about 3 months - overall very very happy. If there were a 4 1/2 rating - it would get that, there are just a few minor niggles that bring it below the full 5 out of 5 rating.

Why bought:

I've been thinking of getting a MP3 player for a while, I... Read full review »
