 Best Dock for Zune December 2, 2008
I've had this for a few weeks now and am satisfied with the product.
Pros: Nice sound, multiple alarm clocks, display settings and an awesome sleep feature.
Cons: The Zune stays lit up while playing music. Makes for a bright room if you are in sleep mode.
The only other nuance was finding a compatible case. I had a Agent18 case that will not fit, even with taking out the adapter plate. I had to take the Zune out everytime to dock. I ended up buying an Invisible Shield. It doesn't have the hard protection but is the best scratch proof material I have ever seen. All in all, I'm very happy with it and its nice to have a Zune compatible dock.
 A Must Buy November 30, 2008
i own a 30g zune and i absolutely love this product. its got some awesome features that make this a must have zune product
-crystal clear sound with all songs
-costomizable equalizer with decent bass quality. wont shke your car but u can feel it in u.
-almost impossible to blow out the speakers. i actually think u would kill your ears b4 the speakers.
-nice to sleep to my music
-even better waking up to my music
-very low profile, can put almost anywhere
there is one problem with the machine and i think it may be universal, so dont call this a deal breaker
-some electronics near the device cause the music to "skip" or "crack"
all in all this is a very ingenius product, a must have for zune owners, and will last u a very long time, keeping u happy at the same time.

The sound, features and size are great although the Zune doesn't fit snugly on the system and unsure if my daughter is damaging the connection when she struggles to get the Zune situated properly.
Finally, an alternative to earphones for Zune! November 7, 2008
Okay, so I got the 120G Zune, which I love. But then soon realized that if I'm going to have all my music collection on it, it'd be a waste to only be able to listen to it when in the car or travelling on a plane. I also do not have a stereo at home so there was nothing to connect it to.
After some research, I opted for the iHome dock made for Zune. It is very compact in size, but the sound quality is surprisingly good. The thing does have an equalizer to make adjustments, but honestly, right out of the box everything sounded great. Even at high volume, there is little to no distortion and it can be heard throughout my house.
The alarm clock features are also great as there are many options such as 2 separate alarms, both of which can be set for 5 days, 2 days, or 7 days. And the sleep to/wake to functions are also nice. The alarm itself, should you choose that option, is not terribly jarring or annoying since it starts softly and gradually builds.
The battery-back-up has already proven itself very useful. We tend to have power outages where we live, and I've lost count of how many times I've overslept because the power was out. So this week, when it happened again, the alarm woke me up on time. I also liked the fact that the time automatically sets--when you take it out of the box, there is no need to set the time; just set the time zone and the thing does it for you!
There are a couple of downsides, albeit minor. First, if you want to listen to am radio, you will need to plug in an antenna which is cumbersome and awkward since there is really nowhere to hide it. This was not a big deal for me, though, since I don't really listen to am radio, and I didn't really buy this to listen to the radio--seriously, why listen to commercials when I can listen to all my music collection commercial free?!
The second downside is that this does not come with a remote control. At first, I didn't think it would be that big a deal. But since I have the thing on one end of the room and work from other side of the room, a remote would have been handy. A remote can be purchased from iHome for about $20, so I might just have to cave in and get one.
Other than those two caveats, the iHome dock is a great thing to have if you have a Zune.
Good quality. October 21, 2008
I have an 8GB Zune. This product has good sound quality and can go way louder than I would ever need while maintaing decent sound quality. It feels well built, and has several good alarm clock feature that I enjoy. The AM and FM gets decent reception. It was easy to set up. Overall a great purchase.
Some small things take away from a perfect rating:
The Zune plug in port seems weak -- probably because it needs to adjust to fit many Zune sizes. I worry if I ever bump a plugged in Zune I will break it.
The brightness setting of the display. It has 7 settings if you include OFF as setting 7. 1-5 are like having a night-light in my room. Setting 6 is pretty dim, and can't be seen when the room lights are on. A dimmer may have been a better option.
The styling is pretty vanilla...for an all black device.
