Designed exclusively for use with the Zune Dock (sold separately), the Zune wireless remote gives you quick access to your current playlist and full control over menu navigation and volume. The buttons on the wireless remote have the same controls as the Zune, so navigating through menus and media lists is easy and intuitive. Despite its small size, the button layout lets you easily hold and operate the remote with one hand. Small and sleek, the Wireless remote has an integrated magnet so you can attach it to a refrigerator, or you can store it in the integrated slot on the Zune dock. The wireless remote comes backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

The Zune wireless remote puts you in control from virtually anywhere in the room.

4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it needs to., December 30, 2006

By	A. White - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zune Wireless Remote for Zune Dock (Electronics)

First off, size wise it's about half the size of the Zune itself in just about every way. It's small, but not too small to where it could innevitably annoy you.

To me, the buttons seem like they are placed a tad oddly. The back button and play buttons are over the "d-pad", instead of on the sides of it like the Zune device itself. It takes some getting used to, and the two "skip track" buttons are even higher up then said back and play buttons, which is even more out of the way. Also, the two volume up/down buttons toward the button of the remote don't actually control the volume on the Zune. I still have yet to figure out what they do.

Now, even though the buttons are (in my humble opinion) placed oddly, the d-pad on the remote mimmicks the one on the Zune device spot-on. So, you actually don't really have to use the buttons if you don't want to. I do have one more quibble, though. The IR range doesn't seem to be that good. When I use it in my Car, I sometimes have to point the remote directly at the Dock to get any response. Maybe that's just me, though.

But, I digress. The remote does what it needs to, and pretty well overall. It also has the same "soft" feeling the Zune device has, and like the Zune, is pretty scratch resistant. Now, if only it came in Brown or White...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for use with Microsoft Zune player, June 7, 2007

This product makes using the Zune player easy. However, it can only be used with the Zune dock which is sold separately. Connect the Zune Dock to a PC's USB port or an AC adapter and then dock your Zune player. Connect your Zune player to a TV/stereo system and you can access your music library in Zune wirelessly. The remote has the full functionality of the player.

I ordered this thinking that I could use it with my zune v2 dock with my zune HD. Turns out it doesn't. Good thing i already had a zune 120 and it works great with that. Shipping was excellent and would recommend ordering from this seller again.
