What the Critics are Saying about the Creative ZiiSound D5 Speaker


"Speakers -- particularly wireless ones -- are extremely easy to screw up. So the fact that Creative has gotten so much right with its ZiiSound D5 Wireless Speaker ($300) might not seem to the average user like a major achievement, but it is: due as much to design as to technical implementation, this is one of the most impressive iPod and iPhone audio systems we've seen in the past three years, and the best product we've seen from Creative since it entered the Apple accessory market."

I bought this speaker because I wanted to play music from my iPhone wirelessly while retaining high quality sound. In that respect, I am not disappointed as the sound is very rich with plenty of bass and clear mids/highs. I was concerned that the bluetooth transmission would introduce artifacts/digital distortion, but I can't hear any.

My only complaint is the iPhone pairing which can be a bit finicky, especially when you switch between different iPhones. It will either take a few seconds for the music to start or you will need to press the connect/reset buttons.

Although someone kindly commented/corrected the review that said you could not control the volume of the ZiiSound D5 from an iPad, I thought it was important to set the record straight at the "Review" level instead of leaving the correction buried down at the "Comments" level. So...for the record, volume control works great from my iPad running iOS 4. All you do is manually set the volume on the ZiiSound D5 at whatever level you think might be required to fill the hole in your soul ("10" for heavy rockers, "11" for Spinal Tap rockers), then step away and enjoy using the volume slider in the iPod app on your iPad to control the volume from a whisper to a blast.

I'll put this out there first: the sound quality is excellent using the wireless transmitters. It's close to the ideal setup for an iPod/iPhone, but due to human interface issues, it's just not good for use with a computer, at least not with the BT-D1 wireless transmitter that Creative makes.

With an iPod, it's great: you can play music wirelessly, control the volume, and you can charge your iPod by sticking it in the special dock. It's very liberating. The cons are:
- Controlling the volume control from the iPod works most of the time, but often has lag, and about 25% of the time doesn't do anything to the speaker volume.
- Volume control increments are too large, especially at the quieter end.

It would also be nice to have the option of having a separate charging dock for the iPod, but which allows you to continue using the special transmitter. Then you could have the dock in a close-at-hand place, and the speakers out of the way somewhere, like on a...Read more
