The Zune 80/120 series is a great iPod classic alternative. It's a well built player that offers the same large, HDD based storage space as its iPod counterpart, while offering a larger screen, better sound quality, wifi, fm radio, and a great subscription music service. The menu-driven UI...

While not the flashiest PMP around, the Zune is a solid player with few real issues. If you don't mind the ecosystem approach, you're treated to a delightful experience with a Zune Pass subscription. Despite the lack of an EQ, the Zune manages to deliver a robust listening experience....

It is a great PMP player which makes it fun to navigate. the screen size is awsome for video and it is pretty much scratch proof. If you compare it to iPod classic then Zune is much better. Right now it costs less than iPod too. Acording to CNET "The 80GB Microsoft Zune MP3 player features...

Since I am a (semi-)audiophile, and have a lot of lossless music, I wanted to play those files on the road. So I was in need for a high capacity player (80GB+). This left me with a limited choice: the zune 120, the ipod classic or a hard-drive based archos. Of course, ipod is evil and was...

I absolutely love my 80GB Zune.... Pair it with the Zune Pass and the Store and I personally feel that it is the best of all worlds. Download all the music you want for a set fee per month. The screen on this, although 2 generations back, still looks great! I watch all sorts of video podcasts...

I've had my Zune 80 for about a year and a half and it's been great. It's good looking and strong. I dropped it on the top left front corner and it didn't break. There is a dent in the plastic, but the Zune works perfectly and the glass didn't break/crack. The menu...

Love the "squiggle" pad or whatever you want to call it. If you don't like the iPod circle (like me) check the Zune out: takes a bit of getting used to, but is well worth your time if you're willing. While I love the idea of sharing music with friends via the wireless, it...

Got the Gears of War version so it was a solid black form but with Gears of War logo on the back. Use it to listen and watch podcasts while riding train ride, and random commuters would ask me what I was using because they see a very decent and large video playing. It wasn't extremely large but...

If you love having your music with you every where you go the Zune is a great choice. It has an 80 gig hard drive for all your music and movies. The sound quality is great especially when combined with the Zune premium headphones (I'm not sure if they are still included with the Zune 80...

I've gone from an iPod to a Zune 1st gen 20g to this Zune 120. I got tired of figuring out what I wanted to listen to on the 20g so I went down the overkill route with the 120. Playback is great, including video. While I don't often watch long videos on it, it is nice for a plane...

The Zune players is awesome, I love it. I love the size, the feel, and the social network. IPOD's are good, but the Zune is great. Not to mention that the Zune Marketplace has an option to pay $15 a month and download unlimited music, even though if you cancel your account all of your songs...

The Zune 80/120 should be if not your first choice, certainly a strong competitor if you are looking for a large capacity player. Itunes has become an ungainly, and sprawling programme. The Zune software has remained more streamlined and easy to navigate. This is a real shocker considering it is...

Pros: - Clean interface, very easy to use (never cracked a manual) - Large, bright and beautiful screen for watching video - The Zune Social network - 802.11 Wi-Fi enabled - Zune Pass subscription benefits Cons: - Not as many artists/albums in Zune Marketplace v. iTunes - No direct...

My favorite thing about the Zune is its interface. It looks great, and is my favorite interface out of all of the competitors in its class. The huge screen is nice too. Even though the quality isn't super high, the actual screen size does make a difference. It's easy to navigate with...

I picked the Zune trying to escape the iTunes Bloatware.I've been using it for the past 8 months and i'm absolutely love it.The Radio is one thing which i missed bigtime on the iPod! The Zune software is miles ahead of iTunes..anyone who doesn't have a Zune should try it out...
