Customer Review: Some very nice accessories packed in here
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall I think this is a nice accessories pack with some useful items I think everybody would appreciate.
The premium headphones are by far the most useful accessory out of the whole pack. That's because, of course, they are headphones, and would be getting the most usage with your Zune from a "Travel Pack". They are not "sound canceling" (that is, they do not have an external microphone that reverses the audio heard from the outside and lays it over the music being played) but they do block sound very well, much better than I expected. When I first got these, it took me a while to first figure out how they best fit in my ear, but after a while of use it became natural and easy to use them. Since they do block external noise pretty well, the volume of the music outputted is significantly reduced from the stock headphones. It's not too much of an issue, except for the fact that you can no longer just take the buds out of you ears and turn the volume all the way up so other people can hear it. With these headphones it is guaranteed that the person sitting next to you in study hall won't hear your music no matter what volume it is. After about 3 months of use, the rubber the rubber part of the speaker wire started to separate at the endings (so you could see the copper wire inside). At first it had me worried, but the ear buds still functioned fine so I shrugged it off and made sure to be a little more gentle. At about 7 months, they finally broke. The wire at the end of the 2.5mm plug finally became separated from the plug itself. I did take good care of them, so I guess 7 months is a little short for a pair of headphones.
The case for the headphones is terrible. Not that the case is bad, but it's purpose is worthless. At first I thought it would be useful to unplug the headphones and wrap it in it's case for safe travel in my pocket from class to class, but it became apparent how much easier it is just to wrap them around the Zune itself like I've always done. What's worse, the Zune does not fit easily in the travel case with headphones wrapped around it, so it becomes necessary to wrap the headphones in their own case so the travel case will zip up nicely, only so I can throw it in my backpack and have to unwrap the whole thing again once in the car.
The AC adapter is very nice, works well to have it next to your nightstand to charge before you go to sleep and still keep the original USB cord plugged into the back of your computer. Also, this is an AC to USB adapter, I've had a friend successfully charge her iPod shuffle with it, however my brother's Zen Mini will not charge on it, but that's just one of many problems we've had with his device.
Not much I can say about the Audio Splitter/Remote, I've only used it once or twice, but it does work as expected. The buttons are a little hard to press, and the audio is a just a little lower on the volume when using 2 or more headphones simultaneously (3 total possible), but not noticeably.
The case itself is build as expected, kind of a hard-shell type case with sturdy foam padding for the Zune, a divider flap, and special sections that fit the premium headphones' case, the AC adapter, and the USB/Remote wires. Overall, nothing too impressive.
This is a nice set to have, and if you don't already own the AC adapter or any headphones better than the stock ones, a good buy.
Description of Zune Travel Pack
The Zune Travel Pack includes everything you need to travel in style with your Zune. Included are a pair of Zune Premium Earphones, which feature an in-ear design to help block-out unwanted background noise. Sure, the Zune comes with a pair of really nice ear-bud style headphones, but with a second pair, a friend or family member can listen along with you. To ensure that your listening buddy can share in the fun, a dual headphone jack is included with the travel pack. Simply plug in the dual head phone jack, and then plug in two pairs of Zune headphones and you're ready to rock and roll with a buddy.
Built into the dual headphone jack is a dual connect remote feature. The dual connect remote offers convenient playlist control with independent amplifiers and volume controls so you can listen to music the way you want to. Other travel pack accessories include a Zune AC Adapter, a Zune Gear Bag, and a Zune Sync Cable. The AC adapter is a great way to charge your device in the absence of a computer. A Zune sync cable is included so you can connect your Zune to the AC adapter on the road. Even though every Zune comes with a sync cable, the inclusion of an additional sync cable with the travel kit allows you the convenience of leaving a sync cable next to your home PC or office computer. When the situation forces you to put down the headphones, the Zune gear bag provides a rugged, durable exterior to protect your Zune and its related accessories. The inside of the gear bag is form-fitted to protect your Zune as well as other travel accessories. There is space for a Zune, premium headphones, an AC adapter, and a sync cable.
