Speaker Dock for your Zune!
Posted by Susan on 11/22/07
Right now there are three available docks compatible with all the Zune models. I would really like to pick one up! There are two from Altec Lansing and one from VAF. I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken one for a spin! I'm inclined to go with the "newest" one which is the Altec Lansing iM414....

That last one looks pretty amazing and would be perfect. I love to turn my music up till my own thoughts get drowned out by the music. The first one looks pretty nice for the price although I don’t know what a good price is for a speaker system.
I am in the market for some new headphones also. If anyone has a great site to get some head phones from I dont want earbuds anymore they keep breaking on my or they keep falling out of my ears even with the biggest size rubber thing in.

there should be a speaker that works with both: Zune AND Ipod cause i have a Zune but the rest of my family have an Ipod so we cant decide what to buy…
that second one is ridiculous.
what is that thing behind the zune on the last picutre
perhaps a remote ? (not sure)
I got my wife a zune 30 for Christmas and plan on getting an 80 for myself pretty soon. She wants music in the kitchen and in our bedroom/bathroom so I decided to get 2 iM414’s s because the 604 on fits the Zune 30 and is also a year old compared to the new im414.
