Customer Reviews

awesome little gadget!

We travel out of the country often, so lugging a laptop AND the electronics would be troublesome. This allows us to charge our ipod nanos and our archos 504s without any problems. I've charged all my standard USB stuff with this. IT won't work with my Samsung cell (non-standard USB) nor my DS Lite (non-standard USB) it will charge my fuji finepix digital camera so long as I have the dock and the usb.

Duet Dual Port USB Charger

Excellent device. It will work with most standard USB devices other than a few odd balls like the Zen. I can charge two Sony Walkmans at the same time. It has universal input 110-240V AC and has dual 5V 500 ma USB outputs. The charger is about the same size as a Sony NWZ Walkman.

2 charging ports = Genius!

Anything I can do to reduce the clutter of chargers is a plus - so I was very pleased to find this 2 port charger that I now use for my Zune and Treo. My understanding from the manufacturer is that it works with all STANDARD USB connections and not all MP3 players/PDA's are.

They work for my devices and my daughters iPOd - so we could not be happier with this small, cool charger. After buying one ... you will wonder why you didn't pick up more! Good product - excellent value.

Incompatible with Zen

2007-07-23
This seemed like a nifty accessory: compact and energy efficient, charges two players at a time, and $10 cheaper than the bulky Creative charger with its tangly power cord and adapter. I asked the store sales assistant twice if it would work with the Creative Zen V Plus I was purchasing and she assured me it would.

It doesn't. I plugged in my Zen with its half charge from the factory, and by morning the battery was dead. I called the toll-free number on the back of the charger and was told the Duet is incompatible with Zens.

I wish I didn't have to rate the product poorly. It may be terrific. I just want people to know they should check with the manufacturer for compatibility: 800-637-2867. Their web site is unhelpful.

Does the trick

Perfect charger for an ipod. Two usb items can plug into a 110 socket, so you don't have to have your notebook near by to charge.

Charged a Zune in China

Traveled to China, so it was used with 240V 50hz to charge a Zune. No issues.

Small and effective

The biggest and best surprise I received when I opened the package was the size of the device. It is only 5/8" thick at it's thickest point, and the A/C jack folds into the device. The two ports power my iPod and cell phone (the cell phone, a Motorola Q9M, complains that it is an unsupported device, but charges fine) so that I don't need to fire up my computer to get them some juice.

What, no charge light?

This would have been really great if it had a red light to indicate CHARGING and a green to show the battery has been fully CHARGED. Other than that, neat little gizmo.

Just what I needed

So far so good with the MusicPower Duet. No more clogging my workspace or the USB ports on my computer charging Sony and Zune players for my son and I. It's now in the kitchen for easy access. This one device came at a price less than the individual name brand chargers. I certainly can't attest to any long-term performance, but I hope it continues to be fast and convenient.
