Good charger for a good price 
2008-08-05
I love this charger. I don't know if it's just me or if this charger can charge a Zune faster that the regular USB cable. I thought it was pretty dumb that Microsoft didn't include an A/C cable with the Zune but all you have to do is buy this one and all your troubles are solved.
Great 2008-07-12
Does what it is supposed to.
Does not work with the mini zune.
It Just Works 2008-06-12
The Product Just Works. It charges the Zune and cuts off when its charged. Whats kinda cool is while its charging and ur playing music, the screen stays lit by default. Kinda Nifty. It does cut off when the music is done.
Works with my 30GB Zune

At first, this charger didn't work and the seller (Vortex Cable) sent me another one ASAP at no charge for shipping. The replacement works good so far. It was able to charge my 1st Generation 30GB Zune. The product description says there is a built-in IC chip to prevent overcharging. I haven't experienced this feature yet as I keep a close eye when my Zune charges (only about 1 hour max at a time so I don't over-charge the battery because replacing the battery is more expensive than replacing this charger).
I would definately recommend this product especially at such a great price on Amazon.
Not great...

This would have probably worked well, if they had bothered to mention that it doesn't work with second-gen Zune 30's.
They probably didn't mention it because they don't know and refuse to admit that there ARE a second-generation of Zunes that, like the Zune 8 and 80's, don't work with the old Zune 30 accessories.
This is one of those accessories. So, if you've bought your Zune 30 since fall of 2007, don't bother. You'll complain that it doesn't work, they'll ask you over and over if you're sure you have a Zune 30, you'll tell them "yes", they'll send you another one and the process will repeat.

Compatible with: Microsoft Zune 4, 8, 30, and 80.
Works as advertised but not for travel 
2008-01-22
I read many reviews for many Zune chargers before settling on this one because of its IC chip. The thing is, most of the "travel" chargers I have allow the prongs to fold up into the body of the charger so they don't get bent, broken, etc during travel. This item has fixed prongs and doesn't even go flush to the socket when plugged in because of a large black plastic reinforcement. Overall I'm a bit disappointed and next time would go with a folding wall-to-USB charger that would allow me flexibility to charge other items besides the Zune.
Why doesn't Microsoft include this with every Zune? 2007-12-24
The charger is built well and charges the Zune the way its supposed to. There is really nothing much to say about it: its just a standard, garden variety charger.
It's really annoying that Microsoft or Apple for that matter won't include something as essential as a charger with their products. I'm willing to bet that including one in the box would cost them less than a dollar, but is omitted in the name of corporate bean-counting.
Amazing Price! 2007-12-22
Wow! Why pay 10 to 20 dollars at a retail store for the same thing? It's been working well for me, and I highly suggest it as a cheaper alternative to what you will find in stores.
Good charger 2007-12-01
Works very well for the price. Other stores wanted a lot of money for similar Zune chargers. I ve been using this to charge my zune for the past 2 weeks with no problems whatsoever. Moreover the charger does not look cheap at all.
