Zune 2nd Generation 80GV Media Player

Strengths: Great Sound Quality and plenty of Storage

Weakness: Video Screen developed a bubble in the middle of the screen just weeks after receiving it.

Great Sound Quality and plenty of storage for all my music CD collection. The video developed a bubble in the screen weeks after I received the media player. Because of the issue with the screen bubbles I do not use for video.

Great player with some of the most atrocious...

Strengths: Great Player w/ ample HD space, Great interface, Huge Screen, Wifi capability w/ wireless sync, Radio Tuner, Touchpad interface improvement, ZUNE originals!

Weakness: Horrendous software, Click Wheel is still a better interface

After using my 5th Generation iPod's screen stopped working just a little above 1 year (conveniently out of warranty) I decided that I didn't want to buy another apple product for my next mp3 player. The Zune 2 had just come out and the 80GB of space was quite appealing (upgrade from 30GB) and the player seemed rather improved from the first Bricky Zune. After testing the interface in the store...

Best mp3 Player I've Ever Used

Strengths: Huge Screen. Easy Navigation. Lots of Space. Great Design. Radio.

Weakness: None worth mentioning.

This is hands down the best mp3 player I have ever used. Before this I had an ipod 60GB (5th gen). I had so many problems with that ipod I had no choice but to get rid of it. The zune 80GB is easy to use and the user interface is just great. No freezing problems like that ipod I had. The radio feature is a great added bonus. It's easily the best player on the market right now. Highly recommended.

Zune 80 GB Black

Strengths: You can share music with other Zunes unlike other mp3's. The screen is 3.2" big and that makes watching videos much more clearer and visual.

Weakness: There aren't any weaknesses based on my opinion. The Zune 80 gb has everything I wanted: Video, larger screen, more space (80 Gb!!), FM radio. No weaknesses!!!!

The Zune 80 gb is by far the best mp3 player that I have purchased and used. I always hated the Ipod's. Never got the hang of the buttons. The buttons on the Zune are much more easier to use and flip through videos, music, photos, the radio, and much more! There is so much demand for this product that it is out of stock everywhere. I am very fortunate to have gotten my hands on one and making...

Zune 80GB

Strengths: Compact, compared to Creative Zen Touch 60GB with video. Easy to use product interface.

Weakness: Zune software is weak. Poor searching compared to others. No way to make separate folders or categories that I've found.

I've had my Zune since the beginning of December. It replaced a Creative Zen Touch 60GB that also had video abilities. Unfortunately the Zen broke after about a year and 1/2. I had the Zune software installed in advance of getting my unit. It worked fine for the first couple of days, then it stopped recognizing the Zune except over the wireless network. After a number of uninstall/reinstall...

Zune 2nd Generation 80GB Media Player - Black

Strengths: Good Battery Life, Video Screen Size, WiFi abilities, Works with Xbox 360, Radio

Weakness: Can't play AVI files, Zune Software isn't very good compared to Itunes, no equalizer

Let me preface this review by stating that I've owned Ipods for about 6 years prior to getting the Zune as a gift. As far as a music player, the Zune isn't really any upgrade over the the Ipod. The Zune shines though in watching movies in comparison to the Ipod Classic and also allows you to watch movies on the Xbox 360 when hooked up via USB. The 80GB drive is more than large enough to hold my...

The Zune 80 is very fun to use!!

Strengths: screen is awesome, scroll wheel is so fun to use, design, quality of headphones, sound quality of music, share music wirelessly

Weakness: their aren't any weaknesses with the device itself-because it's great, but the software could use some small tweeks to make it more efficient.

i have both the ipod 80gb classic and the new 80gb zune. ipod advantages over zune -itunes is a bit better than zune markerketplace -battery life -has extras like clock timer and games(which i love) -ipod is only a bit slimmer than zune-but this does'nt count for me bcuz you have to definetly get a case for the ipod so it does'nt scratch- so they end up being the same size. zune advantages over...

Zune 2nd Generation 80gb Media Player

Strengths: functional and easy to use device

Weakness: wish it has touch screen features

I am pleasantly surprised by the new zune. it is aesthetically a beautiful device. the new device is thin and smaller versus its predecessor. it surely can rival the ipod for marketshare in the any consumers' minds. the apple ipod better watch out.

GREAT!

Strengths: build quality storage space large screen

Weakness: none so far

This Zune is awesome. I've owned "other" mp3 players before but this is by far the best. The large screen is great. The quality of the earbuds is better than others. It feels nice and sturdy and well made. I don't have any of the add-ons yet, but hope to get some. The software takes a little getting used to, but once you understand it, it's not bad. This 2nd generation Zune is much better than...
