Great For Charging Zune by .. Darren Jensen (Capital Region, NY USA)
If you want to fully enjoy your zune, you have to get this pack. The only way to always have wireless on when your on the go is to always charge it before leaving the house. Whenever I get home I just plug my zune right into the home dock. A lot of people who have zunes say that the wireless functions drain the battery too much, but if you have a home dock, this eliminates that problem.




Pros

-keeps zune chargedn no doubt

-nice to plug into your tv or entertainment system to listen or watch the stuff on your zune.



Cons

-the remote control for the home dock is too rigid for my tastes

-if you want your zune to be in HD, you need to buy component cables too.

Great Product by .. Bradley R. Fortenberry ()
I bought this because I lost my sync cable and this was on sale for 45% off.

It does everything it says it would, I have it hooked up in my living room and everyday when I get back from work, I just drop my Zune 80 in the dock, and it starts charging and syncing with my computer(assuming the computer is on and has the Zune Software running).



If I'm syncing a large amount of files you can plug this straight into the computer, otherwise it's hooked up to my tv for its video/audio out feature (great for viewing podcasts/videos/photos)


I've had not problems with it, and would even consider buying another for my bedroom.

Great product, not so great price by .. Alex Roldos (Trenton, NJ USA)
This is a fun product to have, and it adds so much value to your Zune. Comes with the charger, AV cables, and dock. My only complaints are with the price and the fact that you cannot detach the cable from the dock. It works very well, response time is good, you can tell the design and build quality is substantial. Makes for great use with guests, especially. But at the price that it is currently retailing at, well, unless you things Zune brand and like your things official (like me) you might be better off just buying a standard AV cable and sufficing with that. The real advantage, however, that this offers you, is the dock, which allows for higher quality output. (The jacks for "HD" video output is located in the back, behind the removable panel) Being that you're likely to connect the cables in the back, there is no way for radio signal to get to your Zune, so the radio function is defunct. Or, you could plug it through the headphone jack, which adds functionality back to cable, but makes the setup a little less neat looking and the weight of the cables could stress to the leaning Zune which makes it prone to falling over. This is all, of course, according to the 30 GB model that I have, it might be different in the newer ones, although I doubt it. Overall, a good product, the price just needs to lower. By a lot.

Overpriced junk by .. gram parsons (Tuscaloosa, AL USA)
I love my Zune but this was a ripoff.



Mine has a short in in somewhere--only the left channel was working. In fact, I thought it was my receiver so I bought another one. Turns out it was a short in either the wiring or the cradle--After wiggling it a little it works.



But at this price, this is high for wires and plastic--even if it WORKED.




I'm sorely disappointed.

A great product ! by .. Chris Harlan (Louisiana)
I have a 80 MB Zune, this product plugs right into my stereo system and allows me to listen to my zune using my stereo and it also charges my zune as well. I am very pleased.

I did not have any problems with the adapter base as it is all straight forward and works as advertised. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I have not used the video part or the wireless feature as of yet.

I really purchased it to do just what it is currently doing.
