Creative X-Fi Sound System Z600 rolls in this week for $400

Alright Zen fanboys, your Singaporean mothership has just come out with a new dock for that Zen Vision: M, dubbed the Creative X-Fi Sound System Z600. Like it says in the name, this dock has that new X-Fi stuff that Creative touts as being able to restore compressed audio to CD quality. Of course there's also the usual inclusions, like a remote, an 8-inch woofer and a pair of tweeters to round out the setup as well; the gear can be yours when it drops in the US on November 24 for $400. Creative also announced a couple other sound docks, the PlayDock Z500 and the TravelSound Zen V -- but if you're an astute reader of Engadget, you already knew about those well before the official announcement.

Actually, the 8-inch is a subwoofer - the medium sized speakers are woofers, with the smallest ones being the tweeters.

Actually Bogsnogger, you know nothing about speakers. But well done on first post.

Ditto to that!!! They look nice, but I think I'll stick with my Z5500's for now :D

Actually Mr.K, you know nothing about speakers and bogsnogger is correct. The article fails to realize the mids and tweets on the separates in addition to the sub.

Nice looking system, but $400 seems inflated.

Well, it's not really inflated considering there's 200watts of output power here and it has a built in X-mod ($80) and ZV:M dock.

Man, if I had more than 400 bucks to blow I would so pick one of these up for my Zen.

That an an Xbox 360.

I have to buy a Creative Xmod first. I want my mp3s 24-bit and sounding better than teh originals!!!

The perfect match for my new Creative audiophile speakers. James Kim said so, so you know he's right. Everyone lossily compress your turnes then restore them with the Xmod and only then buy these fine speakers for the finest audio you've heard.
