This kit works fine with the Original Zune (Zune 30), but it doesn't work with the 2nd gen Zune 80 (and most likely none of the 2nd gen Zunes). The AC and Car changer don't work at all, the sync cable will work with the Zune 80 to sync, but it will not charge your Zune while syncing. A closer look at this sync cable's dock connector shows that only 6 of the 20 or so pins are present on the dock connector, while the MS cables have all the pins. I'm guessing MS changed which pins of the dock connector are used for charging. This is disapointing because all of the MS Zune 30 accessories work fine with my Zune 80 but because the manufacturer of these cables saved a penny by not connecting up all of the pins like the MS cables, they won't work with the 2nd generation Zunes.

None of the three cables that came with my order work. The car charger worked for about 2 minutes and hasn't since then. The sync cable doesn't even seem to be the right size, I practically have to force it on and off of my Zune. Another reviewer said that theirs has a brand name on it, mine are all blank. So I don't know if what is shipped isn't consistent with other orders or what. I can't complain too much with how cheap it was, just wanted to let other people know that it may not work.

The tolerances for the Zune USB connector must be pretty low. The cables that came in this package only worked some of the time. I found myself having to wiggle the plug and replugging my Zune multiple times before my zune started to charge with these cables.

In frustration, I paid the price for a Microsoft cable. Works every time, and I don't have to worry about damaging the connectors.

I just received mine yesterday. Mine was shipped from from another place (ClearAV) and it was a cheaper for the same thing at $7.35 even at this listed price it's a good deal. The cables and charger work fine. The brand on each of the items is "inspire" and the quality seems fair. It's handy to have these extra cables so I can leave some at work and home and not have to lug them around.

I had never received the car charger out of these cables... However, the other two work without problems. If only I could have gotten that cable, as it was the particular one I wanted, along with the wall charger.... 5 for working, -2 for missing one of the three cables...

This product worked a lot better than expected. Good quality and everything when compared to the price. A must for any zune owner. It does work for the 30 Gb's and 80 Gb's!

any AC adapter will fry @ 240 volts! It says in the product description these r 4 the 30 gig model not the 80. It amazes me that some people are this stupid and then write a review to prove it! This set works just fine. Yes it feels a little cheap, but look what u pay 4 it.

BE AWARE - Those reviewers that are stating that everything is working great and giving 5 stars are not telling you that they are using GEN 1 zunes.

THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT WORK WITH GEN 2 - even though they flat out lie by saying that it will.

Amazon should make the seller change the product name to reflect what it actually does.

I purchased these for use with my 80GB Zune and was utterly disgusted with the fact that they're cheaply made pieces of garbage that don't work with my (or anyone else's) player. The product page said it would work with my 2nd gen but none of these cables will work. The only reason why I gave one star was because you can't give a zero star or even better a negative star rating. Don't waste your time or money on these.

I have a 2nd Gen 30 GB and hubby has an 80 GB Zune. I bought 2 sets of this item so we would both have what we needed in our respective vehicles. NONE of the cables that came with this set work on either Zune. None of ours have the logo on them either. They are all blank.

I agree with others who have said to spend the money for the real deal.
