Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in iPods & MP3 Players
This is my third zune. I'm a first generation owner, got a second one and now upgraded to a larger one. I use it every single day and it is as crucial to me as my cell phone. Player is easy to use, sound is fantastic and player is very resilient. Pair this one with the JVC headphones and you can't go wrong with incredible sound. It's Zune and me forever.

If I had known that Zune market place was shut down and could n longer download apps, I wouldn't have bought it. I plan to sell it.

I bought the Zune HD 32 because I wanted a great MP3 player that had additional features and great sound. I am not an ipod, pad or MAC person but I wanted something comperable to the ipod and am not dissapointed. The Zune HD is easy to use, the sound is great and the graphics are great. The only thing I did not like is the headphones did not work well. One of the speakers was out in the ear phones. I wanted to buy a better pair anyway so, this did not bother me that much, but it was dissapointing. Would I buy the product again? Yes,but it was discontinued as we all know so who knows once this one is done if I will be able to. Microsoft, keep making the Zune HD. You can shine here. The phone business may not be the way to go.
I originally wanted an IPod touch, especially after playing with my cousin's. However, my dad has a huge issue with Apple and all the games that they play with their music and devices. He strongly prefers that we do not buy any Apple products, if we receive it for free, that's fine but we are not to pay a dime, and that's completely understandable considering they screwed him over so I was more than willing to abide. However, I was due for a new MP3 player, and I wanted something as similar as possible. My cousin, before she got the IPod touch, she had an older version of the Zune. At first she loved it, but after a few months she began to become very fussy with it. She didn't like the software, she complained about many issues that she had, which made me extremely wary about buying the Zune HD. Nonetheless, I looked up reviews, watched youtube videos and played with some in Best Buy and I automatically fell in love with it, but I was still wary because I can't make a decision based on only having used the item for five minutes. I looked for the best deal, which I found on EBay, and the day it came in I set it up. Finding the software was not difficult, but setting up the player was a tad bit strenuous. I ran into some errors but after repeating the process I got through it. Downloading the music into the Zune program was extremely fast, especially considering I downloaded it from an external harddrive, but downloading it onto the player wasn't as fast, but that's to be expected. Nonetheless, I unplugged my player and I was off. Once you put music on your player, album art and pictures of the artists are downloaded and can be viewed while listening to music which is a great feature in my opinion. The picture, video, and internet quality is absolutely amazing. I was stunned while watching the preview videos that Zune provided. It's better than an HD Plasma screen TV. The music's is easy to play and find, the menu only takes a few minutes to get used to and the touch screen is phenomenal. Also, since I received a new Zune HD, I received a 14 day free trial for the Zune Pass, which is amazing way to get new customers. Simply sign up and you get 14 days of unlimited music for absolutely free, and if you don't like their service (I don't see why anyone would,especially since it is only about $15.00 a month) then you don't have to pay. However, there are a few things to be cautious about. The music, pictures, movies, anything that you put on your Zune, must be put in the Zune program and MUST remain on your harddrive, if the Zune program cannot access the music that was previously on your Zune, it begins to erase it, so be cautious when deleting music from your computer because the next time you sync up, you might lose all your data. All the music also must remain in your collection in the Zune program because, once again, if you delete it, it deletes from your Zune as well. Last but not least, this isn't your average MP3 player where you plug in the USB and it shows up as a harddrive or a storage device and you simply drag and drop. You MUST download their software and sync up your device that way. There's no other way. Other than that I don't have any issues with it. I love it and I'm surprised at how much I like it. I'm glad that I made the decision to get the Zune, I honestly believe that it's better than the IPod touch and wouldn't trade it for the world.Read full review
Bought it as a replacement for my Zune 80GB (2nd Gen) after it finally died. Ended up going with the 32GB Zune HD. I'm very happy with it's performance and ease operation. Although the FM receiver isn't as strong as the 2nd generations, it does receive FM HD radio and automatically locks onto whichever has the stronger signal. The touch screen makes many of the operations easy to operate, and the display quality is much higher than the older models. Having experience with both iTunes as well as the Zune Sync software, I can tell you that the Zune software is much more user friendly, and also has applications, music, and video downloads.
It's a decent MP3 player. Sound quality is good, videos are clear, and the overall design is fairly nice as well. But the internet and APPS are somewhat difficult to use. I personally bought it solely for music purposes so it doesn't really affect me much. I also found that every once in a while it will "freeze", meaning that it continues playing music but the screen and buttons remain unresponsive. When that happens I have to hold the power button for 30 seconds until it restarts. It appears to be fine afterwards. Apparently this is a common thing with Microsoft Zune HD players but if I had known it would do that I probably would not have bought this product at all. If Zune had continued to work on this product it would have probably ended up being an amazing piece of technology. But as it stands right now, it's just average. I most likely won't buy another one.Read full review
Ok so i would first like to say that this Zune's battery life is very long and i love it, i could go three days without charging it and i last me till the last minute. Music, videos, and pictures sinc very easily and quickly. any image out on it is viewed crystal clear and i believe that the internet connection is faster on this than the ipod. a few downers are that it doesn't have enough apps but they are all free, and you cannot view youtube videos since it doesn't have a built in flash player. but overall i am pleased with my product.
Great MP3 player. Small, yet easy to use with a screen that is big enough to see. Lightweight. It doesn't have many useable features outside of a couple crap apps, but its a few years old now. I use it for driving and working out and it's great.
The Zune HD was pretty good years ago. Sound and picture quality is still good even by today’s standards. However it lacks the Bluetooth technology most of us has gotten used to over the years. I have a large music collection on Zune and I am too technically challenged to try to move it to another format and not lose a large percentage of my collection. I would not recommend this if you haven’t already had one, but that is because support from Microsoft has stopped and you can not buy music content directly for. Still a good music player!

I don't think there is a black 32g Zune. Be careful when buying one. Black is 16g still a nice unit, but might not be what you storage wise. Zune was and still is the best MP3 music system ever made. Unfortunately it and Marketplace was 10 or 15 years ahead of its time. I use it at the gym, on runs and at home through speakers.
