Product: Creative Zen Style M300
MRP: Rs 3499 (4 GB); Rs 4999 (8 GB)
Let's get something out of the way. I have always had a soft corner for Creative MP3 players. I've found them to deliver in terms of audio quality and functionality quite consistently. In fact, when I received the M300 to review, I was looking forward to a familiar sound, one that I had grown up with.
The package was simple; the tiny player sat at the centre while two compartments held the user manual, stock earphones, and USB cable. The player is really small with a 1.45" TFT screen, surrounded by touch controls. Honestly, I thought it was a piss-poor design. MP3 players today look slick - even the tiny ones. This one just looked like a single bathroom tile: square, plain, and prehistoric. It reminded me of when I was a young boy trying to make meth in the school lab, a time when I thought baggy pants that dragged on the ground were cool, and sending porn clips to girls was funny. All of these above issues were fixed by my dad and his leather belt. But I digress.

Let me clarify at this point that I am not trying to sound like those elitist audiophiles who turn vigilante and stab people who listen to MP3s. I'm not even talking like the snobbish audio professional that I really am, awesome at my job and all that. I would never let a friend buy this. I feel a bit bad trashing the product like this, but I'm not even trying here. This is purely the sound of my disappointment.
