Very handy in audio docks

I use it at home when I'm working at my desk, when I'm cooking or sleeping in bed and I'm too lazy to get up to change the music. A simple little thing, but it works very well when my device is in the charging station. Battery life seems pretty decent, and the only downside I think is that the Zune occasionally responds to a button press after a minute. It could just be interference from some other wireless in the house or something else. However, it's a lifesaver when I'm cooking and I've got…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some problems

What are you talking about?!

I have all Zune 3rd Gen (30GB, 120GB, 32GB HD). I bought this remote control because my old one, which I bought with the docking station, no longer works; probably due to moisture from the shower (I leave it in the bathroom). It worked GREAT on my Zune HD 30GB, 120GB and 32GB with a rectangular dock (and no, it's not HD). No, I don't have a round one and didn't feel the need to buy one. . The only thing you are likely to have with zune HD 32GB is that you have to use your finger to navigate to…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No performance

Do not buy for HD AV Dock!

I know this has already been posted but just wanted to repeat it. This distance will not work with the latest HD Dock. Someone from Microsoft's answers told me it was, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. If, like me, you lost the remote for your HD AV Dock and turned it into an $80 charger, you'll have to buy the entire previous version of the dock and use the remote that came with it. That will work. The good news is that this docking station can be bought for around $9. I just wanted…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing

Zune Remote in Portable Speakers and Docking Stations

It was Tuesday and I picked up my Zune remote off the floor. After an unsuccessful attempt to promote the title on the Zune player, I concluded it was a glitch. Hitting a Zune remote on a hardwood floor disrupted its operation. (Prospective customers should be aware that the periodic effects of putting down a Zune remote can render it unusable.) Fortunately, I have a computer that is connected to a networked system called the Internet. It's too much to explain here, but this machine allowed me…

Not sure what others are complaining about

I ordered one despite seeing the mixed reviews as the price was pretty low with Prime shipping. I'm glad I did. It works with my V2 Dock - square with no problems. It also works great with my circular dock, which I use with a USB to Zune connector to sync with my PC. The only problem is that when the Zune is actually connected to the PC, it is not controlled manually. The remote control doesn't seem to work either. But if you "disconnect" the connection to the PC and just use the USB port for…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Minor issues

A real owl! suitable for portable speakers and docking stations

If you have a problem with this item or want to buy it, please read the following: you need to buy a docking station (I bought a round one), cable A/V, um from the dock to your stereo, a CR 2032 battery (it's a very common and cheap nickel sized flat battery) and an AC adapter. The remote control comes with a battery, but most of them are dead when you receive the remote control due to being on the shelf for too long. You can use any of these items that may have come with the Zune. Keep in mind

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different
