"Ce bouton traduit la présence fort intéressante de Bluetooth : c'est LA particularité du ZiiSound D5 ! Il s'agit de Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, compatible avec les profiles A2DP et AVRCP. Deux façons de vous affranchir des fils : soit vous utilisez directement la connectivité Bluetooth de votre baladeur ou téléphone qu'elle qu'en soit la marque, soit vous branchez le dongle Bluetooth pour iPod/iPhone sur votre produit Apple. Dans ce dernier cas, vous bénéficiez de la technologie Apt-X."

"Le son produit est ample, puissant, avec une large bande passante que nous avons mesurée entre 149 et 18 538 Hz. Les aigus sont donc bien reproduits, de même que les basses grâce au caisson intégré. La bande passante est très régulière, toutes les fréquences étant convenablement restituées. La ZiiSound D5 est par ailleurs très puissante. Pas besoin de pousser le son au maximum pour se faire entendre des voisins. Nous avons mesuré une pression acoustique de 103,6 dB, ce qui est très au-dessus de la moyenne des enceintes testées."

"Avec son design monobloc épuré, ce système d'enceintes sans fil vous propose une qualité de son exceptionnelle pour tous les appareils compatibles Bluetooth, y compris les iPod, iPhone, iPad, téléphones et PC portables de tous poils."

"Cependant, la prouesse est intéressante et la qualité sonore au rendez-vous. Nous avions déjà été étonnés de la qualité sonore du ZiiSound D5 avec un lecteur MP3 basique, les basses étant particulièrement bien rendues. Le niveau sonore peut aussi être élevé sans pour autant saturer... Avec le module BlueTooth transmettant le son stéréo, nous n’avons pas noté de baisse de qualité et de ce côté-là, il est difficile d’être déçu. En termes de champ d’action, nous avons pu nous placer à plus de 10 mètres sans perte de son."

"We've reviewed Bluetooth sound systems before and haven't been impressed. The ZiiSound D5 is different."

"We auditioned the ZiiSound D5 by playing tracks encoded in Apple Lossless from an iPod docked directly to the ZiiSound D5, and then streamed the same tracks via Creative's Bluetooth dongle. Remarkably, we were unable to detect any compression artifacts or other unpleasantness in the stream; in fact, the audio sounded great. Wireless iPod speaker docks are so much more convenient than the alternative. Who wouldn't rather pick up their iPod to change tracks, adjust the volume, or navigate playlists instead of walking over the speaker and manipulating the iPod's controls while it's docked."

"...it did perform wonderfully in terms of mid range tonality, musicality and timbre with some test music sounding as good, if not better than ever heard by us before... We think that the ZiiSound D5 is shaping up as one of the most potent and influential 'must have's' of 2010, which will send many a ripple through the SoundBar market..."

"What's neat is that your iPod or iPhone becomes the system's remote controller - you navigate through the music on your device as though you were listening to headphones connected to it... The transmitter and the base are simple to pair with each other over Bluetooth, and the ZiiSound D5 can be paired with other Bluetooth-equipped devices as well, like laptops."

"It offers excellent sound too, with a rear-facing bass port boosting the lower end and twin 2.75-inch full frequency drivers giving a rich, detailed audio that's full of character...The ZiiSound D5 combines good looks with great audio, and its excellent Bluetooth system gives you full control over your sounds."

"If you're looking for a speaker set for your shiny new iPhone 4 then we'd recommend the ZiiSound D5... So, once you've paired it with your iPhone 4 (in the Settings app) you're free to wander around with it up to 10 meters away and enjoy uninterrupted audio."

"One word: wow. The ZiiSound D5's most obvious asset is its immense power – the sound is surprisingly loud and fulsome, lending an irresistible warmth to music whether you're using Bluetooth or the auxiliary input. There's crisp high-end detail, robust midrange and taut chunky bass, the recipe for a superb listening experience."

"Having used the iPod's standard Bluetooth option, the next step was to see if the BT-D5 transmitter and aptX codec made any difference to the audio quality. I fired up some old Queen songs to check out the multi-layered harmonies and the audio quality definitely improved when using the transmitter, producing a fuller sound with greater detail noticeable on both the higher and lower frequencies."

"The ZiiSound D5 is no exception, offering the best value we've seen to date. It's versatile, offers great sound quality and is particularly desirable if you have a large music collection in digital format."

"If you are looking for a high quality speaker system for your Apple iPhone or iPod, then the Creative Labs ZiiSound D5 certainly delivers both on quality and style. It also adds wireless connectivity into the equation."

"Probably best known for their soundcards and portable MP3 players, this is Creative’s attempt at a high end set of wireless speakers. Bluetooth is limited for transporting audio. Creative gets round this with a compression codec called aptX, but this requires you to attach the bundled dongle. It’s not ideal but it does provide a noticeable boost in sound quality. For audio devices not blessed with wireless, there’s a 3.5mm jack at the rear. "

"...the ZiiSound D5 has shown me that Bluetooth can match the quality of a wired connection with the use of aptX audio codec. "

"Sound is rich, there is plenty of bass, and the volume goes all the way up to what feels like all-night-party mode. This wireless sound system feels like quality and it’s a joy to use – as long as you keep the wireless within the specified distance it works fantastically well."

"And, you know, the sound is extremely good. Certainly a lot better than you'd expect from something if its diminutive size... I pushed the volume up high and it had no problems with the results – they would certainly work brilliantly at a party."

"The Creative ZiiSound D5 Bluetooth Wireless Speakers not only gives you the freedom to select music and indeed video from your portable media player, but also represents a stunning sound quality that for the size will certainly fill most medium sized rooms. The stunning clarity even at lower volumes presents an amazing sense of satisfaction for the listener, while not dominating your room with a complete hi-fi system. The design is simplicity itself in both of actual use of the technology and the stylish presentation. "

"My first test was with my Sony Erisson mobile phone (Aino), when I selected my song, it started playing in just under 3 seconds. I was quite shocked at just how simple and fast it was.... Conclusion: The sound quality is impressive considering the sleek and compact design of the ZiiSound D5."

"Another well-executed wireless speaker system from Creative."

"...this is one of the most impressive iPod and iPhone audio systems we've seen in the past three years... This is without question the best wireless speaker available at its price point today..."

"The design layout mirrors high-end audio systems, its Flowport is constructed to minimise sound turbulence, and the full-frame monocoque design establishes maximum strength with reinforced pillars. The Creative Image Focussing Plate widens sound dispersion, providing a "gentle flare" with a clean tonal timbre."

"There's a surprising amount of bass for such a small system and it doesn't overwhelm the overall balance, instead adding a pleasing level of depth and warmth. There's also great mid-range clarity, with vocals coming across particularly well. This is rounded off nicely with a crisp high-end too... Importantly, there was no significant deterioration in quality when cranking the volume up."

"The ZiiSound D5 is dedicated to one purpose: streaming audio wirelessly and with great sound. It performs this one purpose very, very well... if you're after a wireless multimedia speaker that sounds fantastic and performs brilliantly, the ZiiSound D5 is an elegant and excellent example of its type."

"My first test was with my 5th Gen iPod classic, I simply connected the Bluetooth dongle, selected my song and away it went. I was quite shocked at just how simple it was. It is also important to note that the Bluetooth dongle provided by Creative isn't some general Bluetooth device, it actually uses the aptX audio codec which apparently provides superior Bluetooth stereo audio, and I have to say it did sound pretty good."

"Creative speak true to their words when they boast the high quality sound of the Creative ZiiSound D5. The sound quality is very impressive for its size and the fact that audio is being transferrerd wirelessly. Creative ZiiSound D5 also gets a thumbs up for its sleek and elegant design, no matter where you put the unit in your house."

"The sound quality is very impressive given the size of the ZiiSound D5. Using the transmitter, there is bags of detail and the speakers maintain audio integrity at those higher volumes you want for your party... The D5 does a good job of projecting your music into the room, giving a wider sound stage than you might expect and with punchy bass giving depth to tracks where lesser iPod docks can be found lacking."
