I tried to not pay the high prices for a Microsoft charger but this charger worked great the first time. The second time it almost broke my zune player. I got a battery symbol on the player and it won't turn on. I then went to hook the zune to the computer usb port charger and the symbol went away and it charged fine. I will not use this junk charger again in fear of breaking the zune. They say they accept returns but they dont reimburse shipping. It will cost more to ship it back then I would get back for the device.

I have used this charger at work since early this year daily and it stil works perfectly. It also doesnt get hot when in use and the internal chip keeps it from overcharging (which I was afraid of). My zune battery life is still the same 6-8 hrs depending on what media I am viewing. Overall I have zero complaints and highly recommend to anyone especially for the price.

If you're looking for an ac wall charger for your zen vision m, this is the one to get. I have had it for 3 months now and not one problem. It charges incredibly fast. Approximately an hour for a full charge. It's amazing. And another plus is that it connects directly to the zen. There is no need for the extension that is required to connect the zen to the usb cord or a/v cord. This charger is perfect!

Works great with first edition zune. It powered my 2nd edition down for a day, but it recovered. I have not tried it with the Zune HD.

Great little device for when I don't have a computer or a usb plug so I can charge the zune. It has a little red light on it that makes it very bright.

I cant write the most accurate review because it is my husbands...

But i do know he is very happy with it and it does what it says... charges his zune.

This cable fits the Zune, but the Zune doesn't seem to recognize it and so the charge status doesn't indicate on the Zune. It does seem to work if you leave it hooked up long enough - but it is a bit slow at charging. Cheap? Yes. So I'll live :).

This product was very inexpensive and shows you get what you pay for. The product does not work and we tossed it in the garbage. It wasn't worth the time or expense to send it back. Would not recommend.

i have a 16gb zune. the first time i used the charger it worked fine, but took forever to charge. the next time my zune froze. it took me awhile to figure out how to fix it. the final time i used it, thinking it should work fine, it froze and i couldn't fix it. i searched on the zune website for how to fix it and found nothing. the buttons wouldn't work, and it was broken for a couple days. in the end i left it on to try and run down the battery. once it was dead i hooked it up to the computer and was able to get it working again. the charger ended up in my garbage. my friend got the same one, she has an 8 gb, and it wouldn't do a thing. don't buy this, pay more for the actual zune charger.

One of the Zune's weaknesses (at least for the 30GB one) is the fact that you absolutely need a computer to charge it. So, if you want to travel with it or lend it to someone that's not so computer-saavy, it's a must-have.

I found that I even used it when watching the zune because it would be nearly dead after an especially lengthy movie.
