Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Zune Travel Pack includes everything you need to travel in style with your Zune. Included are a pair of Zune Premium Earphones, which feature an in-ear design to help block-out unwanted background noise. Sure, the Zune comes with a pair of really nice ear-bud style headphones, but with a second pair, a friend or family member can listen along with you. To ensure that your listening buddy can share in the fun, a dual headphone jack is included with the travel pack. Simply plug in the dual head phone jack, and then plug in two pairs of Zune headphones and you're ready to rock and roll with a buddy.

Built into the dual headphone jack is a dual connect remote feature. The dual connect remote offers convenient playlist control with independent amplifiers and volume controls so you can listen to music the way you want to. Other travel pack accessories include a Zune AC Adapter, a Zune Gear Bag, and a Zune Sync Cable. The AC adapter is a great way to charge your device in the absence of a computer. A Zune sync cable is included so you can connect your Zune to the AC adapter on the road. Even though every Zune comes with a sync cable, the inclusion of an additional sync cable with the travel kit allows you the convenience of leaving a sync cable next to your home PC or office computer. When the situation forces you to put down the headphones, the Zune gear bag provides a rugged, durable exterior to protect your Zune and its related accessories. The inside of the gear bag is form-fitted to protect your Zune as well as other travel accessories. There is space for a Zune, premium headphones, an AC adapter, and a sync cable.

What's in the Box
Zune gear bag, dual jack/remote control, earphones, sync cable, and AC adapter.

The Zune Travel Pack includes everything you need when you're on the go with your Zune.

Premium earphones produce superior sound and help block out unwanted background noise.

5.0 out of 5 stars A shaving kit for your Zune, January 14, 2007

By	J. M. Lavender "mitchlav" (Roanoke, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zune Travel Pack (Electronics)

This is an excellent selection of accessories for the Zune. Though it's marketed as a Travel kit, I find that I use most of the accessories frequently, such as the AC charger and extra synch cable, the much improved earphones, and the remote. I even use the case as it is excellent for keeping all my Zune accessories in one place.

Regarding the case, it is well organized and quite roomy, though it resembles a shaving kit more than a case for a media player. It has a padded socket for the Zune with an elastic strap to hold it secure. It also has a custom fitted place for the earphone case and the AC adapter. The general use storage has plenty of room for the synch cable, remote, additional earphones and such.

The earphones are very good and are quite an improvement over the stock earphones that come with the Zune. There are 3 different sized pads, so this should work for most users who aren't adverse to in-canal earphones. It includes a plastic case that keeps the earphones and pads secure, but is a little unwieldly to wind the cord up and jam it all in. The base is strong and the treble is good, and since these are in-canal earphones, they do an adequate job of blocking out some noise, though they are not noise-canceling.

The remote is actually a nice suprise for me, as I did not expect to find it useful. It's great for keeping the Zune stored away in a jacket pocket or backpack, but still have access to basic functionality like volume or changing tracks. It also does dual purpose as a splitter, so a second listener can jack-in and listen along with you.

The additional synch cable is needed for connecting the Zune to the AC charger, and can also be used for connecting to a PC or an Xbox 360, both of which will charge the device. Having this second synch cable enables me to leave one cable connected to my PC at home all the time, but insures that I always have a cable with my Zune for opportunities to charge, synch or output to an Xbox 360 while away from home.

Strongly recommended for Zune owners.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only Works with Zune 30GB, January 8, 2008

Amazon needs to provide this information in its description: The wired remote only works with the Zune 30GB. It does not work with the newer Zune 80 or 4 or 8. Even Microsoft is a bit obscure about compatibility. You can find the information in Microsoft's forums.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my Zune travel pack, January 18, 2007

By	Angel "Angel" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zune Travel Pack (Electronics)

The travel pack comes with a remote that can attach to your clothing so I don't have to reach for the up/down buttons when I want to skip a song. I attached the clip to the seat belt that crosses over my chest. I am not distracted my taking my eyes off the road. I put my travel pack in my backpack and take it to work. I charge my Zune while sitting at my desk. The premuim earphones are awesome. You can hear the bass in the music and it dorwns out all background noise. You never need to turn up the volume on your Zune while using the premium earphones. I love my Zune accesories.
