I couldn't find any posting of side by side comparisons of
these three
units...so already owning a Ipod Shuffle, I purchased both
a Creative
Zen Nano Plus and an IRiver T30. I loaded the same song
files into all
three so that the comparison would be valid. I used only
the earphones
that came with each unit.

And that's where the evaluation falls down - the cheap head
phones. Why wouldn't you use the same set of decent
headphones or plug them into you hi-fi and do the
comparison?
