    Cons: Headphone jack poorly placed, few apps and games at present.

    Summary: Those of you who read my reviews on any sort of regular basis are probably at least somewhat familiar with my fondness for Microsoft's Zune digital media player. The addiction started over two and a half years ago when I bought my first player, the ... read more

    Summary: I purchased my Zune HD in 2010 for about $170. Unfortunately Microsoft pulled these great devices (Zune HD) off the shelves in October 2011, but if you're lucky enough to find one I would definately suggest getting it! I must admit it lacks in the area ... read more

    Pros: Good sound, difficult to break, Claim of being HD is legit
    Cons: Not many apps [ but I don't care too much about that ]

    Summary: I have seen people complain that the ZuneHD cannot beat the iPod for its lack of apps. Well, in my opinion, those who buy the Zune obviously don't care about apps! They care about the music, and the Zune does music very well.It has wonderful quality ... read more

    Dec 26, 2010
    Pros: Easy to use interface, clear display, great audio quality, sleek look, impressive touch screen capabilities.
    Cons: Not as many apps as the Ipod Touch.

    Summary: The Zune HD is a great break away from the ever so popular Ipod Touch. I bought the Zune HD because I got bored of the Ipods and I wanted to try out something new. The Zune comes ready to use out of the box, with ear phones (much higher quality than the ... read more

    Oct 23, 2010
    Pros: Competitively priced; excellent sound quality and capacitive touchscreen; original, modern interface. 
    Cons: Editing playlists within the device requires some ingenuity. Internet browser is lacking. 

    Summary: I've had a love-hate relationship with the iPod for a while now. I remember buying a Sandisk Sansa just before college because I couldn't afford an iPod Mini. While many people rightfully laud the iPod for its ease of use (something that I ... read more

  • A Fantastic Little Device

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 5, 2010
    Pros: Small, thin, sleek
    Cons: Doesn't offer many Aps!

    Summary: Out of all the electronic MP3 devices I've used, the Zune HD was by-far the coolest. It's touch screen capability and sleek, thin design was indescribable and unforgettable. I received a Zune HD in black through the mail to "test it out" let's say. I ... read more

    Pros: easy navigation, great sound, slim, zune marketplace is great
    Cons: very few apps, not able to view album artwork full screen

    Summary: I decided to get a Zune instead of an ipod because I had heard a lot of great things about the Zune from my friends and family, and to be honest, I was getting tired of seeing ipods EVERYWHERE. I am thrilled with my Zune! It's smaller than the Ipod touch ... read more

    Pros: HD videos/movies, HD radio, Durable, Nice interface, Long battery life
    Cons: Small storage capacity

    Summary: The Microsoft Zune HD 32 is the medium capacity model of the new Zune HD series. I bought this product for two reasons. First of all it can play high definition movies and videos. Secondly the Zune HD has the ability to play HD radio. However, ... read more

  • Great alternative to iPod

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 15, 2010
    Pros: Zune marketplace--all the music you want for $15/month and you can put it on 3devices.
    Cons: Not full 1080P HD--does not play DIVX videos.

    Summary: Don't listen to all the negative reviews on the Zune HD. The newest device (32GB) is a very high quality unit. Here's the bottom line: The SINGLE biggest reason to buy the Zune over any iPod is the Zune Marketplace. For $15/month you can have ... read more

  • A Fresh Device That Actually Does Think Differently...

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 9, 2010
    Pros: Great Device, Quality Made, Good Software, Great Sound, Modern
    Cons: Difficult to Install Software. Lack of Apps, "Under-dog" product

    Summary:   The new uniform and ominously present Apple product line is becoming a bit bland and lacking in real innovation or a sort of new colour. Looking for a breath of fresh air? Then the Zune HD is quite possibly just right for you. I bought ... read more

  • A GREAT alternative to iPod

    Dec 7, 2009
    Pros: Zune Marketplace is HUGE-- The value that it offers is amazing.
    Cons: No DIVX or quick time for video--that's about it.

    Summary: I just bought a Zune HD and give it TWO huge thumbs up. To be candid there are some advantages the iPod has (and probably will continue to have) but Zune HD has some signficant advantages that make it a clear cut choice over iPod.Pros: ZUNE ... read more

  • Not a pocket computer like iPhone, but an awesome portable media player

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 30, 2009
    Pros: Beautiful OLED screen, Zune Pass media plan integration, great sound quality, HD radio
    Cons: Few apps, no MAC OS support, somewhat buggy, touchscreen interface required for volume control

    Summary: First things first.  I'm sure a lot of you were hoping for a competitor to the Apple iTouch/iPhone, and were wondering about important things such as applications and games.  This is a Portable Media Player, not a portable ... read more

  • Zune HD is great

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 29, 2009
    Pros: Screen, HD Radio, HD Out, It just looks cool, Sounds Great.  Cheaper than iTouch.
    Cons: Wish 64 gig version was available.  Browser needs flash support. 

    Summary: I had the iPod classic and it was fine, until the battery died after about 2 months of use and it wouldn't hold a charge for anything.  I got a creative zen to replace my iPod but the harddrive failed.  I got a cheap SanDisk Sansa to hold me ... read more

  • Micro$oft FAILS harder with the ZUNE HD

    Sep 17, 2009
    Pros: Excellent Sound, OLED display, video output in 720P,  Nvidia TEGRA!?!
    Cons: No Volume button !?!  Web Browser, desktop software and GUI need streamlining

    Summary: When the Microsoft Zune was released back in 2006, I wanted to believe that Microsoft had finally developed the portable media player we’d all been waiting for. I wanted to believe that the Zune’s integrated WiFi  would be used in the ... read more

  • Another let down

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 15, 2009
    Pros: design, radio, battery life (maybe) that's about it.
    Cons: features, browser, screen, software, format support, windows only, zune only.

    Summary: I normally avoid writing reviews this soon after buying a product, but given that the Zune HD was just released today, I am guessing that a lot of people are looking for information on it. This review is based on my experience with the player in just one ... read more
