A shot of everything in the box. As you can see, Creative has reverted back to black instead of the over-used white accessories.

Continuing on the tradition, Creative bundled a pair of EP-480 earphones with the Zen Neeon. If you have been using the bundled earphones of other brands, the EP-480 is a very big welcome change, offering a great improvement in terms of sound quality. Also, instead of the flimsy satin pouch Creative bundled with the Zen Micro, this time round it is a tough-looking black velvet pouch which seems as if it might help the Zen Neeon take a few knocks. It's a bit of a dust-magnet though.
