Customer Review: No happy dancing
I bought this set of speakers and loved the sound I was doing the happy dance for about a month when they suddenly stopped powering on. I contacted Amazon and they replaced them right away which made me do the happy dance again until I plugged them in and they would not power on either. So I have had 2 sets and both were broken. I am not sure what the odds are for that but I am no longer doing the happy dance.
Customer Review: ipod cradle useless but nonetheless great prod
not the best and prettiest but for the price, it's at the very least bearable.

Customer Review: b-flex
The b-flex isn't even worth the postage of 6.00 that they charge you to send this piece of junk to your house. I have a HP DV7-1135nr lap top and the speakers on the lap top have the same sound but much clearer. This is the worst thing that I ever bought. Save your money and put it toward a good set of headphones. If you still want to try it when you return it it will cost you a 20% restock fee plus the 12.00 of round trip shipping. Thats 18.00 total that you wasted plus your time.
Customer Review: Works as advertised. Worth the price.
The speakers work as advertised. You can't ask much more than that. As several have stated, the sound quality is only fair. As least as far as music is concerned. There is very little bass response. But it sounds much better than average laptop speakers and offers significantly more volume. For something that doesn't require batteries and will fit in a laptop case, it works great.

Customer Review: Love this Product
I saw this at a Sony showroom in Singapore while I was travelling there on my honemoon trip. I loved this product, but it was not for sale there. They did not know where they bought it from, and I kept looking for this at every small/big computer accessories store, but could not find it. One day, my friend Sumit found it for me from Amazon, and I bought it. Thanks Amazon and thanks b-Flex, I love this product. It is so convenient and works great.

Customer Review: where ist he user manual or CD??
I have just bought the Zune 120 as an upgrade for a Sansa View 16gb. Liked the screen and capacity size, but I cannot find a user manual and I find myself at a loss trying to figure it out. Microsoft site doesn't have one that I know. It looks like the people who have bought it are a pretty knowledgeable bunch. Can somebody guide me to a site where I can find instructions? It doesn't "talk" to Windows Media Player, have no idea how to load videos, mine or from UTube. Thanks.
Customer Review: love it

Customer Review: Yes, I'm an Apple Fangirl; and yes, I like the Zune
I have an ipod classic, but after ruining multiple classics jogging with them, I decided to get a flash-drive based player, and thought "it's now or never" to try out the Microsoft Zune.

First Impressions: The packing is very nice; it's been said before, but it's very true. It made me realize how plain the iPod box is. This isn't a really important thing, but it's a nice touch.

The Zune itself is somehow a lot sleeker in person than in pictures; I don't know why, it just is. It's not as thin as my mom's 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it's not super thick either, and the controls kind of blend into the machine, at least with the black.

Sort of important: The Games were not already in the machine! I certainly didn't buy the zune for its games (which pale in comparison to the ipod's) but this had me pissed off until I figured it out. You have to update the zune, even if its new, to add the games to it.

Okay, ease of use: I've been using the trial for the zune pass, and converting the music using TuneBite (so that I can keep it even when my trial is done), and since I'm not paying for anything, it's a good deal for the next week. :)

I decided to not read the manual and try to figure out the controls on my own (to simulate the normal user of a new product), and it took me a little bit, being used to the ipod clickwheel, to realize that you scroll up and down, and not round and round. I miss the click wheel, but since apple patented that, it's not Microsoft's fault and theirs is a decent alternative.

The Zune 3.0 Software is gorgeous, much better looking than itunes, but I've gotta say: Personally, I'm all about playlists; I like to get ocd about them; and I just don't like the way the Zune software has you create them.

I didn't think I would appreciate or even really use the radio function, since I haven't been into radio since I was fifteen and got my first ipod, but the ability to add things to your cart actually got me listening to local stations again. Plus, it reminded me that my favorite npr "podcasts" are actually streaming 24/7 on the airwaves, lol.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Look, the thing is, product-wise, an mp3 is an mp3 is an mp3. If you're looking to play games on your player (and I understand that urge), get an ipod, but if there's any chance you'll use the radio function, try out the Zune. If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.
Customer Review: Great product!
This little Zune is so wonderful! I got it a lot cheaper than an Ipod and with more storage! We got this for our teenager's bday, she had requested an Ipod but we couldn't see spending a bunch of money (we all know how teen's can be :)) Well, when we gave it to her she loved it and after playing with it for a few hours and downloading music she said she liked it even more than an Ipod! I would suggest buying this rather than spending the extra money on an Ipod. My daughter said this was very easy to use and downloading was a snap.

Customer Review: Best Dock for Zune
I've had this for a few weeks now and am satisfied with the product.

Pros: Nice sound, multiple alarm clocks, display settings and an awesome sleep feature.
Cons: The Zune stays lit up while playing music. Makes for a bright room if you are in sleep mode.

The only other nuance was finding a compatible case. I had a Agent18 case that will not fit, even with taking out the adapter plate. I had to take the Zune out everytime to dock. I ended up buying an Invisible Shield. It doesn't have the hard protection but is the best scratch proof material I have ever seen. All in all, I'm very happy with it and its nice to have a Zune compatible dock.
Customer Review: A Must Buy
i own a 30g zune and i absolutely love this product. its got some awesome features that make this a must have zune product
-crystal clear sound with all songs
-costomizable equalizer with decent bass quality. wont shke your car but u can feel it in u.
-almost impossible to blow out the speakers. i actually think u would kill your ears b4 the speakers.
-nice to sleep to my music
-even better waking up to my music
-very low profile, can put almost anywhere

there is one problem with the machine and i think it may be universal, so dont call this a deal breaker
-some electronics near the device cause the music to "skip" or "crack"

all in all this is a very ingenius product, a must have for zune owners, and will last u a very long time, keeping u happy at the same time.

Customer Review: Awesome product!
I couldn't be happier with this product. The case fits PERFECTLY, and everything is still 100% accessible (buttons, headset jack, lock/unlock switch, etc). The belt clip, armband, and video stand are all top quality, and I'm not nearly as scared about dropping my Zune now! This is so much better than many of the other cases I've seen, and considerably less expensive, too!
Customer Review: What you get for your money
Overall, a nice package for the price. The silicone skin is very nice. I give it a five star rating. It's the rest of the items that come up just a little short. They aren't bad but I don't see them standing up to much ware and tare. I could be wrong though and they may ware well. Let's hope so. I would not hesitate in ordering this again.

Customer Review: Not used much
The product definitely protects the Zune. The arm-band works great for my wife but is too small for the average sized man's arm. The rubber case is difficult to put on/off so I purchased a neoprene case with a larger arm-band.
Customer Review: silicone case effective; arm band just too small for most
The Silicone Skin Case is good quality with no observable flaws. I gave this three stars because the 14" arm band is quite small even for a medium build male. In addition, after just 8-10 uses the Velcro separated from the strap.

Enjoy the extra grip and comfort of this fine made silicone case, by yooZoo.
Customer Review: There is room for improvement
I had acquired a black Zune 30 recently and was very paranoid of getting it scratched/damaged so I bought this case. The price seemed a little too high for a piece of silicone, I ended up paying 6.95 for the case and another 6.95 for shipping which seemed a little bizarre.

It is a little tough in pressing the buttons because the silicone around the buttons is a bit deep.

One thing that is really unsatisfactory is the screen protector, every time I tried applying it it had many bubbles popping up even when I pressed away all of the air and the sticker left leftover glue so the lower left screen is a bit sticky but hopefully that should clear up with longer use.

The arm band is pretty nifty, I'm wearing it right now as I'm writing this. Thanks to this, I no longer have to place the Zune on a hard surface.

I have no idea whatsoever on how to use the belt clip, hopefully I'll be able to get a clue later on.

Overall, I would buy another case from this store unless I would find one that would be able to protect my Zune AND provide comfort at the same time.
Customer Review: Works well
I mostly use the carrying case with the arm band while I'm running with my Zune. No complaints. The case does a fine job protecting the Zune without getting in the way.

You can split a file, for instance to cut a scene out of a particular show. You can adjust the brightness and contrast of videos while converting them. You can convert DVD-compatible MPEG files between US (NTSC) and European (PAL) standards. Digital Media Converter handles a whole list of files at once, what's called "batch processing". For instance, if you have a folder of hundreds of MP3 files, you can convert all of them into WMA files with only a few clicks. Digital Media Converter will even keep all the ID3 information (artist, song title, and so on) intact while converting each song. Its the ultimate conversion tool, with the widest selection of file formats in a single package. You don't need to be an expert. Digital Media Converter will guide you through the process, telling you when to download any additional codecs and components you need. It automatically corrects common file problems during conversion, and comes with built-in default settings that create high-quality, low-size video and audio files. You can check samples, view tutorials and find out more information about Digital Media Converter at the DeskShare web site.
Customer Review: Better stuff elsewhere
This is good media editing software for desktop, portable, and web viewing; but, if you do a little searching, you can find better opensource software for free, that can do the same things.
Customer Review: Excellent product!
I do web design work and I produce videos for websites. This product has flawlessly converted all files that I have received from customers, including DVD's, and Media Center PC files into perfect web-ready WMV's.

The big plus is that you can convert all the formats from a single program and do all different formats in a batch operation - extremely convenient. The extensive list of built-in profiles make great quality videos and save a lot of time of trial and error.

This is a really excellent product!

Customer Review: outdated
Most of the stuff is informative, but links to programs and internet urls are old and nonexistant. The software pictured looks nothing like the new Zune software and things just don't work as written. My fault, should have bought an ipod:(
Customer Review: Terrific Introduction to the Zune
Very well-organized overview of the zune and how to use it. This is an excellent option for those whose lives are far too full to spend endless hours on the Internet pulling out the information piece by piece by piece. Although it doesn't cover the latest zune, the 80, you should find everything you need to get started. If you do have the 80, the websites the author recommends will cover the changes, although most of them just make the zune work better (e.g. lots more storage). Broida is a wonderful writer for this kind of book -- like a smart and entertaining friend who knows how to have fun and shows you how, too!

Customer Review: Zune
I purchased Zune for Dummies book because I'm not electronically inclined. I love my Zune but knew little about it. This book is great for those of us who tend to be challenged. It's easy to read and understand. This book has been very helpful and informative. Just buy it! You won't be sorry.
Customer Review: Helpful but a little confusing
I was stumbling around trying to figure out even some very basic features of my ZUNE since MS has no users manual. This got me through some basics and even into some advanced features. I would have been lost without it. But its pictures of ZUNE PC screens look so different from my version of Zune 3.0 that I was confused for some time. Its screens look so much like Windows Media Player but my Zune PC software looks nothing like that. Similarly the navigation instructions were a little different and I had to interpret them.

Customer Review: snelson
This was a very basic look at the zune...not a how to or trouble shooting guide. I found the zune website more helpful when I had a challenge.
Customer Review: Poor
This book was not very helpful. It missed a lot of technical data including how to power off the unit, reboot it, etc. It was much too basic and not what I expected. I was looking for a manual that was comprehensive and detailed. There were minimal technical tips on downloading music. No mention or discussion on downloading a book into a playlist. This was written for my six year old, not a adult.

There is nothing special about this. It is a 3.5mm gold plated male-to-male cable.

It works in any car, and even in your home audio equipment! Gosh! What a surprise!

Kind of on the short side, and you can definetly get a better price, even though it is somewhat inexpensive.

What's in the Box?
Zune 4 GB Digital Media Player (Black), earphones with three earpiece covers, sync cable
Customer Review: Yes, I'm an Apple Fangirl; and yes, I like the Zune
I have an ipod classic, but after ruining multiple classics jogging with them, I decided to get a flash-drive based player, and thought "it's now or never" to try out the Microsoft Zune.

First Impressions: The packing is very nice; it's been said before, but it's very true. It made me realize how plain the iPod box is. This isn't a really important thing, but it's a nice touch.

The Zune itself is somehow a lot sleeker in person than in pictures; I don't know why, it just is. It's not as thin as my mom's 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it's not super thick either, and the controls kind of blend into the machine, at least with the black.

Sort of important: The Games were not already in the machine! I certainly didn't buy the zune for its games (which pale in comparison to the ipod's) but this had me pissed off until I figured it out. You have to update the zune, even if its new, to add the games to it.

Okay, ease of use: I've been using the trial for the zune pass, and converting the music using TuneBite (so that I can keep it even when my trial is done), and since I'm not paying for anything, it's a good deal for the next week. :)

I decided to not read the manual and try to figure out the controls on my own (to simulate the normal user of a new product), and it took me a little bit, being used to the ipod clickwheel, to realize that you scroll up and down, and not round and round. I miss the click wheel, but since apple patented that, it's not Microsoft's fault and theirs is a decent alternative.

The Zune 3.0 Software is gorgeous, much better looking than itunes, but I've gotta say: Personally, I'm all about playlists; I like to get ocd about them; and I just don't like the way the Zune software has you create them.

I didn't think I would appreciate or even really use the radio function, since I haven't been into radio since I was fifteen and got my first ipod, but the ability to add things to your cart actually got me listening to local stations again. Plus, it reminded me that my favorite npr "podcasts" are actually streaming 24/7 on the airwaves, lol.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Look, the thing is, product-wise, an mp3 is an mp3 is an mp3. If you're looking to play games on your player (and I understand that urge), get an ipod, but if there's any chance you'll use the radio function, try out the Zune. If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.
Customer Review: Great product!
This little Zune is so wonderful! I got it a lot cheaper than an Ipod and with more storage! We got this for our teenager's bday, she had requested an Ipod but we couldn't see spending a bunch of money (we all know how teen's can be :)) Well, when we gave it to her she loved it and after playing with it for a few hours and downloading music she said she liked it even more than an Ipod! I would suggest buying this rather than spending the extra money on an Ipod. My daughter said this was very easy to use and downloading was a snap.

Customer Review: Going for my 3rd
I bought this and by the 4th time using it there was a problem with the connections and it wouldn't stay on, or I couldn't turn it on. So I bought it back and got a new one. This time every time I tried to turn the volume up or down it would shut off. So I am going to get another one and then if there are still some problems I will go for a different brand.
The sound quality is good. But that doesn't outway the soddy craftmanship
Customer Review: Audio System for Zune works Great
I have one of these already and purchased one for my daughter. This speaker system is easy to use and has good sound quality. I love it and I love my Zune.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Look, the thing is, product-wise, an mp3 is an mp3 is an mp3. If you're looking to play games on your player (and I understand that urge), get an ipod, but if there's any chance you'll use the radio function, try out the Zune. If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.
Customer Review: Great product!
This little Zune is so wonderful! I got it a lot cheaper than an Ipod and with more storage! We got this for our teenager's bday, she had requested an Ipod but we couldn't see spending a bunch of money (we all know how teen's can be :)) Well, when we gave it to her she loved it and after playing with it for a few hours and downloading music she said she liked it even more than an Ipod! I would suggest buying this rather than spending the extra money on an Ipod. My daughter said this was very easy to use and downloading was a snap.

I'm about to buy my second case because the first one is cracked; however my phone looks and works like new as it has been well protected by this case in my purse, pocket and various other places where it has fallen or been dropped. I have a red phone and you can tell that with this case. I'd rather buy this case a few times then replace the phone!

Very solid and well made. I thought it might be a little thicker than it appeared but has done a good job protecting my phone with out making it look stupid.

This is not for the IPod Touch 2g. I just got this 5 minutes ago and I'm printing the label. I'll be sending it back tomorrow. This doesn't fit the IPOD touch 2g. The Ipod moves around inside the case. It's so unsafe and opens easily. Maybe the wrong item was sent. I don't know I'm returning it.

What's in the Box?
Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player (Red), earphones with three earpiece covers, Sync cable
Customer Review: Yes, I'm an Apple Fangirl; and yes, I like the Zune
I have an ipod classic, but after ruining multiple classics jogging with them, I decided to get a flash-drive based player, and thought "it's now or never" to try out the Microsoft Zune.

First Impressions: The packing is very nice; it's been said before, but it's very true. It made me realize how plain the iPod box is. This isn't a really important thing, but it's a nice touch.

The Zune itself is somehow a lot sleeker in person than in pictures; I don't know why, it just is. It's not as thin as my mom's 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it's not super thick either, and the controls kind of blend into the machine, at least with the black.

Sort of important: The Games were not already in the machine! I certainly didn't buy the zune for its games (which pale in comparison to the ipod's) but this had me pissed off until I figured it out. You have to update the zune, even if its new, to add the games to it.

Okay, ease of use: I've been using the trial for the zune pass, and converting the music using TuneBite (so that I can keep it even when my trial is done), and since I'm not paying for anything, it's a good deal for the next week. :)

I decided to not read the manual and try to figure out the controls on my own (to simulate the normal user of a new product), and it took me a little bit, being used to the ipod clickwheel, to realize that you scroll up and down, and not round and round. I miss the click wheel, but since apple patented that, it's not Microsoft's fault and theirs is a decent alternative.

The Zune 3.0 Software is gorgeous, much better looking than itunes, but I've gotta say: Personally, I'm all about playlists; I like to get ocd about them; and I just don't like the way the Zune software has you create them.

I didn't think I would appreciate or even really use the radio function, since I haven't been into radio since I was fifteen and got my first ipod, but the ability to add things to your cart actually got me listening to local stations again. Plus, it reminded me that my favorite npr "podcasts" are actually streaming 24/7 on the airwaves, lol.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Logitech 970285-0403 X-240 2.1 Speakers (Black)

Logitech 970285-0403 X-240 2.1 Speakers (Black) The stow-away MP3 cradle makes the Logitech X-240 speakers more than just a great speaker system for your computer. Connect your digital audio player with the included auxiliary cable, or use your own USB/power cable to sync, charge and play digital music from your iPod, Zune, PDA or mobile phone. Dynamic, real-time bass equalization maximizes bass response from the down-firing subwoofer while high-excursion drivers provide rich sound from the slim, stylish satellites.
Customer Review: No happy dancing
I bought this set of speakers and loved the sound I was doing the happy dance for about a month when they suddenly stopped powering on. I contacted Amazon and they replaced them right away which made me do the happy dance again until I plugged them in and they would not power on either. So I have had 2 sets and both were broken. I am not sure what the odds are for that but I am no longer doing the happy dance.
Customer Review: ipod cradle useless but nonetheless great prod
not the best and prettiest but for the price, it's at the very least bearable.

cheap,and well made. this case save my zune a couple of time. great product 5 stars.
Customer Review: Love it so much...I bought a second one!!
This is the second time that I bought the silicone skin for my Zune 80gb. I don't really use the armband, but I love the skin and the screen protector. I mostly bought a second one so that I could get another screen protector, as my first one was getting a little scratched up. But has it saved my Zune!! My Zune has accidentally fallen on the floor and the silicone skin has saved it. My Zune still looks brand new and it's almost a year old. The Screen Protector was easy to cut and place on the screen. The old screen protector was easy to take off and did not leave any type of 'glue' substance. Will definately purchase again if need be. I have both the green and blue. I prefer the skin that covers the buttons. It is still easy to use the 'swipe/scroll' method on the buttons even with the skin on. Very happy with the product and I received the product very quickly!

What's in the Box
Zune 4 GB Digital Media Player, headphones, sync cable, and three pairs of foam headphone covers.
Customer Review: Yes, I'm an Apple Fangirl; and yes, I like the Zune
I have an ipod classic, but after ruining multiple classics jogging with them, I decided to get a flash-drive based player, and thought "it's now or never" to try out the Microsoft Zune.

First Impressions: The packing is very nice; it's been said before, but it's very true. It made me realize how plain the iPod box is. This isn't a really important thing, but it's a nice touch.

The Zune itself is somehow a lot sleeker in person than in pictures; I don't know why, it just is. It's not as thin as my mom's 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it's not super thick either, and the controls kind of blend into the machine, at least with the black.

Sort of important: The Games were not already in the machine! I certainly didn't buy the zune for its games (which pale in comparison to the ipod's) but this had me pissed off until I figured it out. You have to update the zune, even if its new, to add the games to it.

Okay, ease of use: I've been using the trial for the zune pass, and converting the music using TuneBite (so that I can keep it even when my trial is done), and since I'm not paying for anything, it's a good deal for the next week. :)

I decided to not read the manual and try to figure out the controls on my own (to simulate the normal user of a new product), and it took me a little bit, being used to the ipod clickwheel, to realize that you scroll up and down, and not round and round. I miss the click wheel, but since apple patented that, it's not Microsoft's fault and theirs is a decent alternative.

The Zune 3.0 Software is gorgeous, much better looking than itunes, but I've gotta say: Personally, I'm all about playlists; I like to get ocd about them; and I just don't like the way the Zune software has you create them.

I didn't think I would appreciate or even really use the radio function, since I haven't been into radio since I was fifteen and got my first ipod, but the ability to add things to your cart actually got me listening to local stations again. Plus, it reminded me that my favorite npr "podcasts" are actually streaming 24/7 on the airwaves, lol.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Look, the thing is, product-wise, an mp3 is an mp3 is an mp3. If you're looking to play games on your player (and I understand that urge), get an ipod, but if there's any chance you'll use the radio function, try out the Zune. If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.
Customer Review: Great product!
This little Zune is so wonderful! I got it a lot cheaper than an Ipod and with more storage! We got this for our teenager's bday, she had requested an Ipod but we couldn't see spending a bunch of money (we all know how teen's can be :)) Well, when we gave it to her she loved it and after playing with it for a few hours and downloading music she said she liked it even more than an Ipod! I would suggest buying this rather than spending the extra money on an Ipod. My daughter said this was very easy to use and downloading was a snap.

Customer Review: b-flex
The b-flex isn't even worth the postage of 6.00 that they charge you to send this piece of junk to your house. I have a HP DV7-1135nr lap top and the speakers on the lap top have the same sound but much clearer. This is the worst thing that I ever bought. Save your money and put it toward a good set of headphones. If you still want to try it when you return it it will cost you a 20% restock fee plus the 12.00 of round trip shipping. Thats 18.00 total that you wasted plus your time.
Customer Review: Works as advertised. Worth the price.
The speakers work as advertised. You can't ask much more than that. As several have stated, the sound quality is only fair. As least as far as music is concerned. There is very little bass response. But it sounds much better than average laptop speakers and offers significantly more volume. For something that doesn't require batteries and will fit in a laptop case, it works great.

Customer Review: Love this Product
I saw this at a Sony showroom in Singapore while I was travelling there on my honemoon trip. I loved this product, but it was not for sale there. They did not know where they bought it from, and I kept looking for this at every small/big computer accessories store, but could not find it. One day, my friend Sumit found it for me from Amazon, and I bought it. Thanks Amazon and thanks b-Flex, I love this product. It is so convenient and works great.

Customer Review: you get what you pay for
I bought this about a month ago. Let me just say that while its good for the price, it isn't the best out there. The hold button adapter on the top is very cheaply made, and doesn't always work properly, and the clip is a joke, I broke it within a week's use.
Customer Review: Ok but not the greatest
the lanyard is a little too short but I like it. The only problem I have is the plastic piece on the back broke that helps separate the case when you need to remove the Zune which is unfortunately too often because the hole for output is enough for the ear piece but not enough for other things like the Zune cable to connect it to a stereo.

If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.
Customer Review: Great product!
This little Zune is so wonderful! I got it a lot cheaper than an Ipod and with more storage! We got this for our teenager's bday, she had requested an Ipod but we couldn't see spending a bunch of money (we all know how teen's can be :)) Well, when we gave it to her she loved it and after playing with it for a few hours and downloading music she said she liked it even more than an Ipod! I would suggest buying this rather than spending the extra money on an Ipod. My daughter said this was very easy to use and downloading was a snap.

What's in the Box
Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player, headphones, sync cable, and three pairs of foam headphone covers.
Customer Review: Yes, I'm an Apple Fangirl; and yes, I like the Zune
I have an ipod classic, but after ruining multiple classics jogging with them, I decided to get a flash-drive based player, and thought "it's now or never" to try out the Microsoft Zune.

First Impressions: The packing is very nice; it's been said before, but it's very true. It made me realize how plain the iPod box is. This isn't a really important thing, but it's a nice touch.

The Zune itself is somehow a lot sleeker in person than in pictures; I don't know why, it just is. It's not as thin as my mom's 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it's not super thick either, and the controls kind of blend into the machine, at least with the black.

Sort of important: The Games were not already in the machine! I certainly didn't buy the zune for its games (which pale in comparison to the ipod's) but this had me pissed off until I figured it out. You have to update the zune, even if its new, to add the games to it.

Okay, ease of use: I've been using the trial for the zune pass, and converting the music using TuneBite (so that I can keep it even when my trial is done), and since I'm not paying for anything, it's a good deal for the next week. :)

I decided to not read the manual and try to figure out the controls on my own (to simulate the normal user of a new product), and it took me a little bit, being used to the ipod clickwheel, to realize that you scroll up and down, and not round and round. I miss the click wheel, but since apple patented that, it's not Microsoft's fault and theirs is a decent alternative.

The Zune 3.0 Software is gorgeous, much better looking than itunes, but I've gotta say: Personally, I'm all about playlists; I like to get ocd about them; and I just don't like the way the Zune software has you create them.

I didn't think I would appreciate or even really use the radio function, since I haven't been into radio since I was fifteen and got my first ipod, but the ability to add things to your cart actually got me listening to local stations again. Plus, it reminded me that my favorite npr "podcasts" are actually streaming 24/7 on the airwaves, lol.

The battery life seems about what my mom's ipod nano is; not great, not bad. An interesting note is that the zune doesn't need to be "ejected" from the computer; it can just be unplugged without harming it at all.

I didn't use the earbuds that came with the Zune, since I have my own higher-end pair, but they look and feel a lot like the apple ipod earbuds that come with that product.

Look, the thing is, product-wise, an mp3 is an mp3 is an mp3. If you're looking to play games on your player (and I understand that urge), get an ipod, but if there's any chance you'll use the radio function, try out the Zune. If you don't mind buying the "newest and latest" once or twice a year, get the ipod; if you don't want to have to bother with that, get the Zune, since unlike the ipod, the Zune's new features are always available, even for older models.

All in all, I don't feel nearly as culturally irrelevant holding my Zune in public as I thought I would, and the interface doesn't look cheap or "second tear" at all.

It's a good investment, and I'm glad I made it. It's one less ipod classic I have to replace.

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black)

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black) Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.



The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area.


The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you can jump right in and start having fun. View larger.
The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.

The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach.

Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.



Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.


Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets you share your favorite tracks and photos.


Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.

Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.

Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.

Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.

Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you'll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion."

Zune Accessories
You can choose from a full line of accessories to outfit your Zune. These three Zune Accessory Packs provide complete solutions for Zune in your car, in your home or while you travel. Individual accessories are also available.

  • The Zune Car Pack includes everything needed to hit the road with a Zune device, such as the built-in FM tuner with AutoSeek and the Zune Car Charger.

Customer Review: Zune
I purchased this when they first went on sale. It was a gift for my wife to use for her music lesson business. What a waste! For the first several days, my wife spent several hours with customer support. The support people were helpful, but most of the fixes have not worked long term. My wife and I are somewhat tech savvy, but this equipment did not and has not performed as expected.It has not worked correctly most of the past couple of years. As a result, my wife rarely is able to use it in her lessons. It has recorded music pieces over each other, but does not replace the previously recorded material. So it mixes the two pieces together. If you search for a piece, generally you will not find the piece unless you remember adjacent music from the original recording that you downloaded. Perhaps some of the problem is with the service the Zune uses to download the music, but this was one expensive TOY. We have not gone over to the Apple side simply because I remember too many times that the Apple equipment is not backward compatible and seemed designed solely to make you buy the next "upgrade" that in reality is a new system that will not use any of the previous products.
Customer Review: Disappointing...buyer beware
I thought I'd try Zune because I didn't feeling wasting money on Ipod...Maybe this line of technology isn't where it needs to be yet...The Zune, and it's associated software has potential, but doesn't live up to expectations. The Zune software/marketplace will drive you crazy with its consistency. Your ability to download and burn music is entirely dependent on the whims of the software at that particular moment...I'm terribly disappointed. Another crappy product care of the corporate Nazis at Microsoft.

Use the rotating belt clip to securely attach the Zune anywhere or simply remove the belt clip for streamlined Zune protection. The Action Jacket also features convenient access to the bottom connection port, which means you can plug in and sync your player without removing it from the case.
Customer Review: 30G Zune armband case
I destroyed my first 30G by not using a good carrying case. The DLO Action Jacket is a must have to protect your zune.
Customer Review: DLO Action Jacket
The DLO action jacket is a great case for the 30 Gb Zune except one drawback. Which I will hit last. The good; case holds Zune firmly; access to "lock" switch easy; access to recharge port without removing from case (great feature not in other cases); identified buttons on case front to easily use the two function buttons. Belt clip works great and the elastic band works well and comfortable when used on the arm. But that band is also the only downside to the case. the bad; when used, the band does not support the Zune entirely when running. Causes the case to wobble during high activity with arms. Hence the rating of 4.

Belkin Screen Overlay Protector for Zune 30 GB (Clear)

Belkin Screen Overlay Protector for Zune 30 GB (Clear) The Belkin ClearScreen Overlay provides a clear, protective shield to your Zune player's screen. The Overlay protects against scratches and minor cosmetic damage that can result from everyday use. The ClearScreen Overlay is custom-designed to fit your Zune display. The included razor-thin polymer sheet and dry/wet cleaning cloth also make for easy application and cleaning.
Customer Review: Does not stick very well
I followed the directions. I cleaned with the wet cloth, I dried with the dry cloth, I peeled a teeny tiny bit of the plastic and started applying it, and the edges didn't stick. I used the dry cloth to rub over the edges, but still they don't stick well. I took it off and reapplied it, but same thing. It is very thick so it looks like it will protect the screen, but it is noticeable.
Customer Review: Good for the old 30gb model
I got this for my new 80gb model but since they've increased the screen size I couldnt' use it, but I've used these in the past and they are great.

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Red)

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Red) Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.



The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area. View menu interface.


The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you can jump right in and start having fun. View larger.
The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.

The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach.

Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.



Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.


The Zune comes equipped with everything you need to get started as well preloaded music and video content.
View larger.


Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.

Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.

Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.

Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.

Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you'll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion."

Customer Review: Zune
I purchased this when they first went on sale. It was a gift for my wife to use for her music lesson business. What a waste! For the first several days, my wife spent several hours with customer support. The support people were helpful, but most of the fixes have not worked long term. My wife and I are somewhat tech savvy, but this equipment did not and has not performed as expected.It has not worked correctly most of the past couple of years. As a result, my wife rarely is able to use it in her lessons. It has recorded music pieces over each other, but does not replace the previously recorded material. So it mixes the two pieces together. If you search for a piece, generally you will not find the piece unless you remember adjacent music from the original recording that you downloaded. Perhaps some of the problem is with the service the Zune uses to download the music, but this was one expensive TOY. We have not gone over to the Apple side simply because I remember too many times that the Apple equipment is not backward compatible and seemed designed solely to make you buy the next "upgrade" that in reality is a new system that will not use any of the previous products.
Customer Review: Disappointing...buyer beware
I thought I'd try Zune because I didn't feeling wasting money on Ipod...Maybe this line of technology isn't where it needs to be yet...The Zune, and it's associated software has potential, but doesn't live up to expectations. The Zune software/marketplace will drive you crazy with its consistency. Your ability to download and burn music is entirely dependent on the whims of the software at that particular moment...I'm terribly disappointed. Another crappy product care of the corporate Nazis at Microsoft.

Customer Review: A Worthy Ipod Competitor
I bought my Zune about a year ago so i figure it's about time to review it. Overall i have been very happy with it. I still have not filled it to capacity, and i have a pretty vast music collection, + some videos. The screen is big and looks very sharp, great for videos. Navigation is simple. Microsoft is always upgrading the software and firmware, which is good. When the software first came out it was terrible, couldn't even really edit anything, but now i like it and you can do much more with it. Some people complained of no equalizer. I don't find it a problem. 95% of the time im using it in my car, which has an eq.

My complaints - Battery life is not quite as good as i would hope. I forget what was advertised, but its probably usually like 10 hours for me (just playing music) which is ok but not great. The zune pad is cool, but sometimes works TOO good. Like ill go to click on something and it'll slide up or over. i almost kind of wish they kept the button like the original had, but it works fine. I'd like an option for something other than shuffle all. a shuffle all by artist or something like that would be cool. hopefully they'll add something liek that with an update eventually. Also, doesn't support a lot of my video files, only some of em. Despite these, i still love it and woudl not trade it for an ipod. definitely worth my $240
Customer Review: great device
better than the iPod, for sure. now that i'm a zune pass subscriber, i won't go back!

DLO Power Kit for Zune

DLO Power Kit for Zune DLO 005-4010 MICROSOFT ZUNE POWER KIT WORKS WITH THE MICROSOFT ZUNE; INCLUDES POWERBUG WALL CHARGER, 12V AUTO CHARGER and A USB CONNECTING CABLE MICROSOFT ZUNE POWER KIT
Customer Review: Exactly what we wanted
Exactly what we were looking for and the price was very resonable.
they look very durable too. We are using them a lot and we are very happy with them. Will recommend it to anyone who is looking for a wall charging unit for the Zune. And the car charger is a life saver. We really appreciate them.

Customer Review: Excellent, professional product
Bought the DLO Power Kit for my 80GB Zune, and it works perfectly. The wall charger charges faster (I think) than USB through the computer, but the car charger is the most useful piece, giving me the freedom to go anywhere without worrying about a dead battery. Though, you can buy a USB car charger exchange, similar to the one that comes with this, and use the USB cable that came with the Zune. I'm not 100% sure just any USB exchanger will work, but it's worth a try if the car charger is the only thing you want.

Also, the kit should have come with 2 USB cables for the price; I have to keep one in a case for carrying with the car charger, and I pull the USB that came with the Zune off the computer to charge from the wall when I need it. Otherwise, excellent product.

Customer Review: Great Leather Folio!!!
The Leather Folio is attractive, easy to use and protects my Zune in a Very Attractive Package.
Customer Review: Great for the Zune 30gb
The case is excellent. It fits my Zune 30GB perfectly, was a bit tight to get it in at first, but the leather expands and stretches out perfectly.

The screen and buttons are protected by the clear plastic, and the built-in buttons in the leather for "Back" and "Play/Pause" work perfectly. I was a bit worried about them going in but I haven't had a problem with them.

The headphone opening at the top is very convenient and allows you to listen to your music with the flap closed. The flap contains two tiny magnets to help keep it closed, and if you make a flipping motion, they snap right to the case, keeping your screen even more protected.

The case itself feels and looks nice, the leather is of good quality and covers about 90% of the Zune. I have yet to have to take my Zune out of the case as you can do everything with the Zune inside.

My only minor, and I do stress very minor complaint is that the plastic can have a small bubble effect on the screen where not all of it touches the screen. Although as time goes on, and the leather stretches it seems to be disappearing as the plastic seems to be relaxing more on the screen.

I had had those hard clear plastic cases before this, but this blows them away, not only is nicer looking, you don't have to worry about the outside plastic getting scratched and obscuring your screen.

Highly recommended.

The Tune Belt Ipod armband is a good buy. It is light weight and very comfortable to wear around your arm. I like the extra velcro flap on the side of the case which is where I put my headphones in. It is convenient when I go to the gym over here in Iraq. Good product! I will buy from Tune Belt again.
