Get some decent headphones and a decent amp and you'll be blown out of the water.
I just made my uncle listen to my portable setup, and you should have seen the look on his face when i showed him the difference with and without an amp. It was priceless.

Well, to update the thread, things are working. My zune screen was blank this morning, so to be cautious I uninstalled and reinstalled the software, plugged the zune in when it asked, and waited. In a few minutes it found the zune and I followed the directions without problem. I am still letting it charge but I think I got all my music on it and will get to give it a listen shortly.

Apparently, this is a known issue that happens to some new units. I am supposed to let the battery die completely and try again. In the meantime I can't turn it on, off, reset, or anything. Very frustrating. |

Got mine in. It's brand spanking new. Well, it looks it. There's a refurbished sticker on the back, on the top, and the box has refurbished printed on it. But there isn't a scratch on it, and comes with all the original accessories. I now have 2 pairs of unused Zune heaphones, and 3 USB cables. Geeze.
Plugged it right in, and already have it full!

I've got one coming. Had one once and sold it when I got my Kenwood. It will make a nice backup player for $99.
So I guess I'm a Zune retread

I think on amazon they run about $170 new, and you can find them for $140 refurb...but I was just wondering if there were better deals.

There are scratches that are so fine you either don't see them unless you look under the right light or you just assume it's not a scratch. A lot of people I know give me things like that to find flaws when they think there aren't any, just for fun to see what I find.
Granted the Zune's shell is very hard to scratch, and maybe MS did replace that and the screen cover as well, or maybe it is in fact new. I'm just saying that if it's a refurb without swapped everything, I could find a flaw with it, and I have OCD when it comes to that sort of them.
