Microsoft Zune Black (80 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Good MP3 player.  I love the Zune service
Cons: Terrible customer service. It's not the most durable MP3 player.

If anyone is qualified to talk about the Microsoft Zune, it is me. Not because I'm some audiophile. Not because I know all the technical aspects of it. Simply because I've had to endure hours and hours of time on the phone with people who know twenty ...

Pros: Screen, controls, wireless connection
Cons: Price

A few years back Microsoft tried its hand in the portable music player market. Much like many of their other products, it was supposed to have a lot of different features but none of them really worked that well. This was in stark contrast to Apple who ...

Pros: Sound Quality, Ease of Navigation, Biggest Screen on a PMP
Cons: Lack of accessories at brick and mortar stores

All of my music is ripped to the .wma format so an iPod wouldn’t work for me. Being a self professed music nut, I find the .wma file format sounds better than .mp3 files at comparable bit rates. The .wma format seems to hold the bottom end better, ...

Pros: Big screen, slim/sleek, easy menus, cheap, sturdy, sound, wifi-sharing
Cons: Software, proprietary, lack of simple features, video support

When my Creative Zen Vision M died, I wanted something to improve upon what I used to have. After searching around, the Zune caught my eye. It was a great looking player, it's thin, and cheap for how much space it has. So I managed to get one delivered ...

Pros: Smooth interface, 80GB HDD, Screen, Zune market place,
Cons: When is Zune Market place going to get TV and Movie Downloads?

Click for the full in-depth review! While the Apple Ipod has enjoyed the lions’ share of the MP3 player market, Apple better watch their backs. Microsoft has introduced a new product 2nd generation Zune MP3 player that will give it a run for its ...

Pros: Design, feel, screen size, wireless function, simplicity, online and physical marriage
Cons: Wireless limitations, content organization controls within the device

I can’t help but be inclined to review the Microsoft Zune with a semi-nostalgic and appreciative recollection of the possibilities of moving media in the past, and an idea of what constitutes the ideal end state for a digital media device in the ...

Pros: Big shiny screen...FM radio...extreme capacity
Cons: Well...we'll get to it in the review

Got this today at my local CC. My very first thoughts upon opening - nice, neat, tidy packaging, but not too many extras. The one thing that really irked me is the lack of an AC adapter - it only comes with the USB data/power cable. An extra $19.95 ...

Pros: Large and vibrant screen, built in fm radio, clean audio signal, very sexy
Cons: no bluetooth support, no EQ, lack of sufficient aftermarket support

I previously owned an iPod Nano (2nd gen) and when the batter died on it I had to decide if I wanted another iPod or if I should try a different brand. I chosed the Zune 80 and haven't regretted it for a second. Not only is it dead sexy, it's ease of use ...

Pros: Sturdy player.  Good battery life.  Great sound quality.
Cons: Accessories are expensive.  Product is discontinued.

I love reading reviews for this poorly understood and unloved device.  It has got to be the best media player I have ever used and after using it for over a year and having no problems with it whatsover, I felt it was time to praise this little ...

Pros: Nice Screen Nice Body Good Sound
Cons: Software blows Awful packaged in headphones And Softare again

Pros: 1) The Zune has a beautiful screen that provides lush bright colors. 2) The body of the Zune is pretty sleek and sexy. 3) The touch controls work almost flawlessly. 4) The ability to share music with fellow Zune owners is pretty nifty ...

Pros: Price, Screen size, built in radio, and sound quality.
Cons: Outside casing, screen dirties easily.

So you need something to get you through boring bus rides, and long waits at the doctor's office. Well this is it. Microsoft has done something right...again! (Xbox).The Zune is easy to operate, using a familiar touch pad similar to the older ...

Pros: Scroll, Picture, Music Quality, Space, Durability, etc
Cons: Battery Life (it sucks!), Screen easily gets fingerprints up (read review for more info)

So I just bought my 80 gb Zune a couple weeks ago, and I do love it. I would recommend the 2nd gen version because the scroll wheel is really really helpful. I've been wanting a Zune since they first came out and I can say that it was worth the wait for ...

Pros: Big & Bright Screen, User Friendly Interface, Large Storage Space, great software.
Cons: A Little Bit too Thick. Software available online only.

With the recent release of Zune in Canada I picked up the Black Zune 80gig model. Size and Design: I must admit the finish on the Zune 80gig was a welcome sight. Though it's a "little bit" thick and heavy for an mp3 player, I must ...

Pros: -Big screen -Touch Pad -Radio, Videos -Wireless capability -Thinner than 1stGen -User friendly interface -Sexy
Cons: -Battery life not as good as it could be. -Still a tiny Thicker than ipod

Plenty of PMPs (personal media players) have been dubbed "ipod killer". Even the first generation Zunes carried that label. But they still had flaws. The second generation Zune is a good improvement from the first. And its sexier! The first and most ...

Pros: Screen, Ease-of-Use, Zune Marketplace
Cons: Not compatible with Mac

With the world domination that is the Apple Ipod and their "It's so uncool to use Microsoft" slogan, the superior Microsoft Zune is left in the dust. I travel fairly often and have found many passengers next to me using their Ipods. We often compare ...
