Zune 80 GB Digital Media Player Black (2nd Generation) Reviews
She loves it. I bought the Zune for my daughter. Thank you. I got a great product at a great price.
you'll have more than enough space for thousands of songs a bunch of converted videos.there are only a few complaints. Mine broke and i had to go to a psychiatric ward. its a quality mp3 player with awesome headphones. if you pay this much make sure to be careful with it. jk its a sweet mp3 player buy it if you hate apple and dont want a creative. you can turn off the touch feature but that detracts from the players coolness and ease to use. the touch button is easy to accidently push while in pocket. also as a warning, do not take snowboarding or i guess any physical activity.
love my zune i had a 30gb got it stolen out off my car so i went out and got a 80gb love it a freind has ipod a zune is much better than the ipod and the car adapter is better than enything ipod sells its worth the money i take it every were i go cell phone and my zune dont leave home with out it
- decent picture. I have added most of my DVD collection and other videos with no problem. The only thing I did have to do was tag music I had recorded because it didn't have tags. - easy to use. - great sound. - I have had no problems with my Zune. And I love the Zune market place.
I owned an old Yepp (now my youngest sons player) and my 10-year-old has an off-brand player. The software recognized the artist and song immediately. Pros:. - amount of space. - overall size.
In general, if you are lookig for an MP3 player with alot of space for a decent price go with the Zune. The ease of use issue was recently brougt home to me. I had no problem ripping my CD's. The Zune surpasses these. My husband, who can't even turn on my laptop, picked up my Zune and started using it.
Cons:. Now he wants one of his own. I choose the Zune because I didn't want to be limited to only using a specific music service. I've owned my 80GB Zune for over 6 months now and I love it.
Although, you could always get an arm belt for it. But if you are into more entertainment and interactivity, the Zune is the way to go. There's even ways to put games on there. Another downside is that it's not a good idea to use your Zune while it is sunny outside, because you can barely see anything because of the LCD screen. So it might be a bit troublesome if you want to switch to another song but you are walking under some sun.
It was too simple for me. It was pricey, but totally worth every penny. The high-quality sound and large LCD screen makes things even more alluring. And the LCD screen is very very sensitive to fingerprints. If you like things simple, or you want something lightweight for working out or jogging, I highly suggest the ipod nano.
It's VERY easy to get scratches on it - especially the LCD screen. This is a highly suggested mp3 player. So if you are prone to keep your mp3 player in your pocket with some change and keys, I suggest you get a screen protector/silicon case protector to shield it from harm. And I love the customized engraving.
The Zune is quite big in size so it might not be a good idea if you are using it for working out. It has many great features - changing backgrounds, music, videos, radio, and the best thing of all - podcasts.
The only thing you have to be careful about the Zune is its delicate exterior. :).
I haven't gotten any major scratches from experience yet, but I've gotten a few very light hints of scratches on the engraving I got on the back of my Zune. I ordered a ZuneOriginal from the official Zune website here: www.zuneoriginals.com.
I got the black, 80 GB, and after at least a month of using it, I still haven't gotten bored of it. I used to have an ipod nano; and while the size was very nice, it didn't keep me interested too long.
I absolutely love the Zune. But don't let these things bring you away from buying the Zune, I still highly recommend it.
