I bought three of these cables thinking that I was getting a authentic Zune Sync cable from Microsoft at a cheaper price. That is not the case. The cable you receive is not the one in the picture. The actual cable is from a company in China called "GT Max". It comes in a very cheaply made plastic baggy, the tops of the cables are not easily identified with the white USB or Zune logo as on a real cable and also does not come with the protective caps shown in the picture.

So that is my main gripe that what you get is not what is shown.
As for the actual quality of the product, it seems to work as it should, but feeling it you can really tell that the quality is not the same as OEM.

I received this item 6 days after I ordered it to find out that it is completely dead and does not work. Not worth the postage to return. I would be wary of this cable.

I ordered it thinking it was an original manufacturer cable as it is pictured - it is not. When I attempted to return, I got no response. If you want an original cable don't buy here, if you want an off brand, then purchase. Just don't expect to get your money back.

Cable did not work, Amazon is refunding my money. I would just buy the official one and save some hassle.

Due to the mixed reviews and cheap price, I decided to take a flyer. In a word, this is junk. It will charge your Zune, but the connection to the software either constantly connects/disconnects (best case), or simply doesn't connect at all (the usual case). Charging is nice, but I need a Sync cable and this isn't it. In the end, four more US Dollars in the pockets of Chinese fraudsters. . . .

I also was expecting a genuine Microsoft cable as shown in the picture, not. Cheaply made, not only would my Zune not sync, it wouldn't even charge! What could go wrong with a cable, right, wrong. I should have read the reviews first.

I bought this cable as a backup to leave at work to keep my Zune charged there. I wish I'd bought a cable directly from microsoft (gasp!) now.

First, the picture shown is, apparently, a REAL Zune cable. The one you get doesn't have the silkscreened logo. No big deal, but you should probably show your own product, no?

Second, the cable, for some reason, won't allow my Zune to sync with my computer. I don't know why. The connection is made, the Zune charges and the sync begins -- but I soon get an error message telling me the sync failed. (it keeps charging, which is a plus)

I tried the zune with the original cable and sync complete -- seems like the cable (it doesn't make sense, I know, but it's the only thing that's different)

oh, well, I got a recharging/AC cable for a few bucks, but it's not what I was looking for.

Hope you have better luck...

I got this as a replacement for the cable that came with my daughter's Zune 4 GB. Unfortunately it doesn't work, at least not totally. The zune does charge when using the cable, but it wont sync.

Don't buy this if you need to sync your Zune. When connected to the computer you will receive an error message stating a malfunction and windows does not recognize it. This cable will only charge your Zune. Buy only if you need a cheap Zune Charging Cable and don't care about the Sync function.

The cable works in connecting my Zune player into the USB port of my computer.
