  • I love all the fanbois and fangirl that are arguing over stupid shit. Who cares if the devices have a shitty browser or dont have an external speaker. This video came out in 2009 for christ's sake! Don't we all have fucking SMARTPHONES today? That do everything, if not 10x better than these two devices???

    At the heart of it all, these are music players, and everything else is just bs. I have a gen 1 Zune that everyone seems to make fun of. I listen to music on it. A phone can do the rest...

  • @CBRboy1717 im just pissed off that the zune lovers lied about the sound quality.they sound the fucking same.the STARTER headphones don't

  • Nice interface on Zune.I wish they would make a new one.

  • There is no comparison IPod touch is way way better than the zune..zunes

  • @chivistalanda zune has better sound

  • my money on the zune,

    for the non mainstream non facebook and twitter brained zombie

  • ok now on to the music downloading part.those websites and apps are legal as fuck,dude.they are legit.beemp3 and mewseek are clear.

  • I wouldnt be surprised if the zune crashed every hour just like windows -_-

  • @sanchodayus I wouldn't be surprised if iPods were severely overpriced like Macs... Oh wait.

  • slightly better... the ipod touch is on another level and it can be jailbroken for cool tweaks

  • whoever owns an ipod...jailbreak it.it sucks ass without jailbreaking.

  • HELP! I'm thinking of buying an AKG K840 Wireless Headphones but I'm not sure if it'll work with Zune HD 2. The K 840 uses Kleer not bluetooth.

    1. I can guarantee you don't walk around With $500 Beats on your head because Honestly You can't Tell The Difference. And Hey! Having Speakers is better than having No Speakers at all... Ouch

    2. Sure it has a HD radio but Does it have a HD Camera? You Can Listen To the Radio in your car... Why would you listen to your Zune? And I would rather listen to my own music than a radio.. Better yet, I'd rather have a Camera handy

    3. Does the Zune have multitasking at all? No

    My

  • @NiceGuysRUs People buy ipods for Awesome apps like fl studio mobile,street fighter 4 and pokemon emerald.people buy ipods for jailbreaks as well.The only thing a zune can do better than an ipod is play music because of its better audio handler.So basically,if you want to mess around with stuff and apps and such,get an ipod.if you only care about sound quality get zune

  • @NiceGuysRUs 1. Beats suck ass... end of discussion. I have Audio Technica ATH-M50's and you can tell the difference.

    2. iPod didn't have a camera until the fourth generation... Which costs $220 for 8 GB of storage. As for the radio, if you're not in your car, how do you plan to listen to the radio.

    3. Again, did the iPod Touch have multitasking until 4 generations in? No.

  • @xSpectrumGaming not the point lol. were you even born when the first zune came out? i had the very first zune and it sucked ass and they still do.

  • @SaraTheFreak69 So just because the first Zune wasn't great, all the successors are terrible. If that's the case, then I think my logic is sound when we compare the 1st generation iPod Touch to the Zune HD. In which case, the only thing the iPod has is a larger marketplace, which IMO isn't worth the extra money.

  • @xSpectrumGaming sigh. im done feeding the troll. obvious troll is obvious

  • @SaraTheFreak69 Apparently you don't know the meaning of the word troll because if anything, you're being the troll. I will take that comment as you're surrender.

  • @xSpectrumGaming LMAO alright buddy. have a nice day.

  • @xSpectrumGaming The zune doesnt HAVE EITHER of those features. And the zune has been around just as long, if not longer than the ipod. stfu

  • @SaraTheFreak69 Which features? You're so brainwashed.

  • @xSpectrumGaming How am I brainwashed? I'm stating the facts, that the ipod has more and better features than shit zune. Zune does not have a camera, multitasking or any decent apps. The browser is shit..But go ahead and stick up for your zune device cause you know you can't afford an ipod. kthxbai

  • @SaraTheFreak69 I have an iPod Touch. I've owned 3 (all payed for by myself at the full $200), and they've all broken. So what's this about "not being able to afford an iPod". Even if I hadn't owned 3, the Zune is still only $20 cheaper, so I could've just as easily bought another iPod Touch. I speak from experience when I say that the Zune is a better music player than an iPod.

  • @xSpectrumGaming So can I dipshit

  • @SaraTheFreak69 That would be why I said "anyone" can do it. Unless you don't consider yourself part of the population.

  • @xSpectrumGaming i actually own a windows computer lol. dells are more overpriced than macs

  • @SaraTheFreak69 OK then. Let's be grown-ups and admit that the iPod is overpriced as well.

  • @xSpectrumGaming

    1.that looks like a lot of fun walking around with those

    they also sound very portable and fit in your pocket(:

    point is:IPODS HAVE SPEAKERS

    so you don't have to wear "ATH-M50's" everywhere you go

    2. I'm saying i don't listen to the radio anywhere except in my car

    why listen to it when you can listen to your own music?

    its a nice feature but it doesn't beat the speakers

    3. Again, does the zune have it? No

    and there has been no word from microsft about a new one.

  • @NiceGuysRUs So you don't use headphones? That's what ATH-M50s are. They're monitor headphones. A Zune is a better music player.

  • @NiceGuysRUs

    The Iphone Interface is a Shit.... ITunes is a Shiet, the Games an music are to expensive, and well, I hate the people with speakers, everybody in this tine listen Pure Gay Music...

  • can you pay the monthly fee with microsoft points

  • I've had both an iPod Touch and a Zune HD. My iPod's headphone jack broke 3 times, each time costing 50 bucks to fix. The last time my iPod broke, I just decided to buy a Zune HD. I wish I would've switched sooner. I haven't had a single problem with my Zune. The only purpose my iPod serves me now is an alarm clock. Seriously, if you actually want to listen to music, buy a 32 GB Zune HD. It costs a little bit less than the latest 8 GB iPod.

  • @xSpectrumGaming how do you pay the monthly fe? is it through credit cards or can you pay by paying through a ms poiints card?

  • @Acuprotech You can buy a membership card with a redeemable code or you can use your bank account/debit card.

  • I Have A Zune And It's Just Great!

    It has the best sound quality But I ALWAYS have to use ear buds cuz it has NO SPEAKERS WOW!

    Also The Web Browser is Amazing! I Can't Have More Than One Window Open At A time (: AWESOME

    Also I can't multitask but it's okay cuz I'd rather have long reloads so I can save my system ram (: AMAZING

    What I Really Love Is that I Have to Pay To Use The Market place Services COOL

    AND THE BEST PART! I Have To Take It Out Of my Pocket, Take It Off Sleep, Then I Can FINALL

  • @NiceGuysRUs

    1. The sound quality on iPod's speakers are a joke... Why would you want to listen to built-in speakers?

    2. It has HD Radio and can surf the web (though it's not a great browser, it can still do it).

    3. The iPod Touch couldn't multi-task until 4 generations in.

    4. You have to pay for music on iTunes also... Were you expecting free music? If you're referring to the Zune Pass, it's optional. However, it's a great deal.

    5.You didn't finish point 5.

    I rest my case

  • @xSpectrumGaming you di not have to pay for music through itunes.you do not have to use itunes,period.even youtube has better audio than itunes.copytrans pro shits on itunes.itunes is shit.itunes is dog shit.

  • @KashgroundTM Really? So, you just go on iTunes and every song is free?

    Also, iTunes has better audio than youtube. iTunes offers something like 256 Kb/sec while youtube offers something around 120 or maybe 100.

  • @xSpectrumGaming what part of itunes sucks ass didnt you get?freemake is shitloads better.although youtube only goes up to a 192kbps mp3 i can still listen to my songs lol.then they are mp3 websites like mewseek and music box and beemp3 and frostwire along with copytrans pro including onlinevideoconverter etc.some songs i found on here sound no where near as bad as 128 kbps lol.aac is better than mp3.158 kbps aac is basically 192kbps mp3

  • @KashgroundTM Or you could support the bands you like.

  • @xSpectrumGaming ...ok exactly what bands?all the people i listen to arent even actual bands or rappers lol,just regular youtubers.

  • @KashgroundTM You implied you were pirating music. And what "regular youtuber" puts their songs on beemp3.

  • beemp3 is for stuff that involves famous people.the rest are for websites to convert and put to your ipod.although ive heard from many zune users saying ipod quality sucks donkey balls.i havent heard a zune yet...but i plan to.if something actually sounds better than a IPOD TOUCH 4G...im gonna have to hear that shit first hand

  • @xSpectrumGaming this might actually suprise you...but people who are in partnership with youtube get paid for every single view they recieve on any of their videos.lmfao

  • @KashgroundTM Yes, but you didn't say that. You said that you were going to download the audio from the videos... this actually might surprise you, but listening to it on an MP3 player doesn't give them money you arrogant prick.

  • @xSpectrumGaming Lol maybe you are,but certainly not me.and also,music for an mp3 is usually a buck each.its not a monthly thing unless you are one of those people that subscribe to some shit involving a yearly fee.and like i said,every view they recieve earns them money.

  • @KashgroundTM Yes, but downloading the mp3 file doesn't give the youtube user money. And the subscriptions are a pretty good deal... 15 bucks a month for unlimited music + 10 downloads... You're really only paing 5 bucks for listening to unlimited music.

  • @xSpectrumGaming all that can be solved with a few clicks lol.But yeah...I'm just gonna stick to downloadin off youtube cuz the people on other sites im not into like that lol.Guess ima stick to 158kbps aac/192kbps mp3 for awhile until dailymotion somehow overtakes this website(which is unlikely considering the gigantic amount of users)

  • @KashgroundTM Ok...

  • @xSpectrumGaming lol. None of those really made a point.

    1. Sometimes its more convienent. What if you're with a bunch of friends and wanna show them this really cool song you just heard but cant because your device has no speakers and you only have earphones?

    2. Sure. But you can only have one window open in the browser.

    3. Not the point. It CAN but the Zune CAN'T.

    4. You can definitely get free music.

    5. Your argument is invalid.

    I rest my case.

  • @SaraTheFreak69

    1. Buy a plug-in speaker for 5 bucks.

    2. I'll admit, Zune's browser needs work, but it can still browse the web.

    3. The point is that you're comparing apples to oranges. One was released much earlier than the other.

    4. I don't see how that favors the iPod Touch... You can put free music on a Zune also. Audio quality will probably suffer, though.

    5. Enjoy the 500 songs you'll be able to fit on you're 8 GB of storage, I'll stick to my 3000.

  • @xSpectrumGaming LOL whered you get 8gb of storage? there is 8gb, 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb. I personally have a 64gb iphone 4s with 1343 songs, 8 HD 1080p videos(recorded on my 4s), 367 HD photos, and 52 apps. I still have 35.4gb of storage left. I had the one of the early EARLY zunes and wasn't too impressed. Sure you can watch movies/videos on it, but the ipod 4th gen, and iphone 4&4s both have retina displays which make movies enjoyable.

  • @SaraTheFreak69 The 8 GB iPod Touch is $220, which is the most comparable price to the 32 GB Zune.

  • @xSpectrumGaming You pay for what you get (; Go ahead and buy shit, I'll stick with my iPhones & iPod which are well worth the money.

  • Comment removed

  • @SaraTheFreak69 What do you mean "you get what you pay for"? The Zune is 20 bucks less, not that big of a difference.

    I bet you feel the same way about Macs. Because they are such great computers, right? That's why they cost $2,000. It's not because they're overpriced or anything. 

    Anyone can make a decent product and charge 10x more than it costs to make them.

  • @xSpectrumGaming lol retina display > OLED display. look up the specs dip shit. "hey dude lets listen to my zune!" "uhm what the fuck is that?"

  • @SaraTheFreak69 Are you retarded... OLED and retina both have their advantages. To say one is better than the other is nonsense. OLED delivers extreme contrast, darks, and saves battery.

  • @NiceGuysRUs can you pay the monthly fee with microsoft points?

  • im planning on buying a zune hd. is the zune hd still supported through the zune service?

  • @Acuprotech Yes. For 14.99/month you get unlimited music downloads and get to keep 10 songs/month.

  • Hey Samsung released their Galaxy player 40. and 5.0, it really kills the ipodtouch, those of you who dont want an applle should think of checking it out AND I OWN A ZUNE and i gotts say that galaxy player kills it!

  • i like ipod fore angry birds but zunen for hd andraadio and the marketplace

  • The Zune is dead they aint supporting it no more and iPod touch 4g is the best mp3 player in the world

  • @bones0488 not true... the zune hd is still supported because of windows phone 7 which is tied in with zune marketplace, meaning that in terms of the best mobile music and multimedia experience, the zune hd remains as the reigning champion

  • I love the fact that people just simply LOVE the ipod, ipad, etc. Why? Because they are too busy jacking off to the ipod touch. I say that the Zune HD is way way WAY more better than the ipod. Their respond. NO WAY! Its better because it has apps!

    Are you fucking kidding me? Zune has apps too but not alot...but the point is that they will always use that sorry piece of shit as an excuse of why the ipod is better than the Zune.

    Zune > Ipod

    Ipod < Zune

    Thumbs up if you like Zune better than Ipod!

  • @FatalError0000 Ya, but some people actually want to be able to play games. You are no better then the people who are obsessed with apple, like macs and what not. You discriminate their products even if they are actually very comparable.

  • @WassonasonVegeta Did i even discriminate at all? Im just stating the fact that people rather jack off to the ipod touch than taking the time to learn the greatness of the Zune HD also. It really pisses me off that many people doesnt know about the zune at all.

  • @FatalError0000 Yeah, Zune Hd is great. But I still like Ipod's, but not because I'm an Apple fan. I just like the stuff, haha. But Fuck Macs!

  • @WassonasonVegeta Hmm...theres something we can agree on....

  • its home screen is just like windows phone!

  • Zune HD - The best MP3 player I've ever owned by far.

  • Just bought a 16GB Zune HD from Best Buy.com as well as Zune Music Pass, and it's some of the best money I ever spent. Unlimited music downloads for $10 a month? I already downloaded some 400 songs. For avid music listeners who do not want to do anything illegal, Zune is the way to go.

  • man i wander how dr dre breats would sound on the zune i hate apps bit i enjoy the net and i love music so zune wins i hope i can get my music cds i bought on to the zune

  • "fuck both of 'em"

    —cowon

  • Retards, if you would get a zune solely for music purposes, your better off getting a cheaper, mp3 which is only used for listening to music. Why would you spend 220-280 dollars on a zune?

  • @Neel130897 Nice interface, sleek design, branding, HD radio, durable, excellent video and sound quality. Can't be found in Cowons, Creative and even the recent Sony Ericsson Walkman A series.

  • @Neel130897 This guy has a good point. My friend has a Zune hd, and his brother got a Sanza (or sansa) clip, the music quality was near the same. But noooooo, I hate apple, so I have to say that games are dumn, nobody wants to play games right? LMAO people are dumbshits.

  • @Neel130897 They're $200, touch screen, have a good operating system on them, and 32 GB.

  • It's funny since the zune has superior audio quality, never fucks up, and has a more intuitive UI. Also, itunes is a bloated POS, and every ipod I've ever owned crapped out after a month.

  • is the sound quality good on the zune hd

  • Well, obviously zune pass is wayyyyyyyy better than itunes. It really depends what you need or want in a music player. If you just want it for music, I definitely suggest getting a zune. If you want it for shitty apps that you will never use or play and need a wifi connection for half of them, get the ipod. If you want it for everything, just get the apps for your phone. That way you can use them anywhere.

  • im pretty sure you cant bash and mp3 player because the headphones they come with suck, get a good pair and try them with both

  • Things you never hear brought me here.

  • I don't like .MP3 file's ... can I play songs like .flac on a zune?

  • I have a iPod touch and i think zunehd is better

  • I just want alot alot of music and lots of it.. hard to find stuff = no problem. Also wireless sync. I LOVE my Zune(s) and the Octavio speaker system (Yeah, docking station my butt, it rocks!) for tailgating. Folks always ask WHERE I found that song.. on ZUNE! It's simply the best for audiophiles in my opinion.

  • i didnt geet half of that

  • ATTENTION EVERYONE !!!!!!!

    The I touch and the zune are both very great products.

    I know there is differences but it won't hurt TO STOP THE HATING.

  • ok i see most people saying people only go w/ zune b/c they dont have an ipod well your wrong i have both and for music and videos i much rather prefer the zune but to play with ipod touch is better

  • Zune is for ppl who care about there music player ipod is for the masses to play with because they need a toy. itunes is a fucking joke the zune program is great. fuck ipods. zune is a 10 times better mp3 player

  • i had a ipod touch and it was cool but the zune is avery good player better than the ipod but not as fun as a ipod .. so for music zune wins hands down ... for apps and silly nick nacks ipod all the way

  • It's funny because you can tell that all of the people saying that the zune is better are only saying that because they don't have an ipod and are stuck with their shitty prunes.

  • Itouch is the best

  • I personally don't like apple products due to its horrible software, but I don't see the point in getting a Zune HD. It has been discontinued for a while now. Microsoft says there will still be support for it, but i doubt that is going to last. If anything all us Zune lovers are going to have to upgrade to a Windows 7 phone in order to get the latest from Microsoft. I am considering getting an iTouch though, since it is a device that is here to stay and be updated.not happy about it though =\.

  • @VVarBanditV2 I think they will make a better version of the zune soon. Zune HD hasnt been continued at all. I still got an update for it. They still are adding apps too.

  • It's simple, you want a music and video player, get the Zune HD.

    If you want something to play video games, get a PSP or the new Playstation Vita.

    If you want something that is worse at both of these and want to fit in with you hip friends, get an Itouch.

    Actually, I'd say the PSP is nearly as good as the Itouch for playing music, so just get the Itouch if you're a mindless drone.

  • Now with the iPos touch 4g the iPod touch is much much better

  • the display on the itouch is great, but the blacks actually look like blacks on the zune. its a fact that the zune's OLED screen is better.

    apps? the zune is a freakin' MUSIC player. not an APP player. the ipod just goes out of its way for money. the zune never forgets that it's a music player.

    and the sound quality on the zune is ACTUALLY better because the ipod deletes frequencies it THINKS you can't hear.

    AND zune has a wireless sync.

    beat that, you apple fanboys.

    SO, zune is so much better.

  • @DaKidIndian Ipods have wireless sync.

  • @08Cheeseits big freakin' deal, it has plenty of one-ups beside that

  • @DaKidIndian I was just saying. :P

  • @08Cheeseits lol ok

  • apple fan boys -_- dumb morons MAC blows. custom pc ftw iphone blows. droid ftw the Ipod WAS THE ONLY THING APPLE MADE THAT WAS GOOD Microsoft created way better shit windows 7 now 8 XP

  • You can't compare the two. It's like comparing the iPhone to a Mac

  • Seeing all of your comments, the irony is if there's no iPod in the first place, there would be no Zune HD. Portable music players would suck if Apple didn't make the first iPod in 2001. I give Apple credit for that. Zune HD is just following iPod touch's steps with more user-friendly features. And IMO, jailbroken iPod touch can do far more things than Zune HD.

  • @raykrislianggi You drinking all the Apple Store Kool-Aid dude? All Apple has ever done is make products mainstream. There have ALWAYS been players better than the iPod and if you knew anything about audio quality and not apps you'd be on cue with that. Yes, the iPod was great and popular but that does not make it the best, and it by far is not. Do not forget that the purpose of the Zune is to provide music and a great experience, unlike Apple which is to keep app sale percentages.

  • @CAPTAINJAMESLIM I didn't say iPod touch is the best. Zune HD is for hardcore music lovers, iPod touch is for wider audience with interest more than just about music audio quality. I know that they both look like the same portable music players, but their features are totally different. Some people will say Zune HD is better, and some will say iPod touch is better. Depends...

  • @raykrislianggi And yet you compared a jailbroken device to the Zune? I understand that, but what you fail to realize is that the Zune revolves around music and a unique user experience while the iPod Touch is aimed at app sales for revenue.

  • Your voice gives me very watery diarrhea.

  • lets get to the point... just get the one thatt's cheaper

  • Not all MP3 player have to be the same. Everything do NOT need apps on them. Because not everyone like or want apps. We have apps on computers, phones, MP3 players. We dont need them on everything. Apps are really starting to get old. Half of the apps people have on their Ipods or phones are not even being used. Which means they spent more time and money on a bunch of crap they did NOT need. I would NOT be surprised if technology became our greatest downfall. smh

  • @musicproducer16 I want apps on my mp3 player (ipod touch) if somebody dont want apps then buy a simple mp3 player.

  • @musicproducer16 Agreed. I would only want the Zune HD solely for musical purposes. Not for unnecessary apps or movies/videos.

  • Zune sucks period.

  • Ipod 4g all the way!

  • all i can say i think iff sony didnt cancel it the sony x series would be very close to both of these but with better resolution and better sound

  • I would love a Zune but still love my iPod Touch 3 and iPhone 4S.

  • oh wow their screen looks crap

  • i liked the review, but please stop with the monotone! As for mp3's, ... ive never owned a zune, but they're pretty good, i have an ipod touch but hate apple, soo, I really wouldnt know which one is better ..

  • You can't change the Zune's volume without looking at it? Only if you're an idiot.

  • steve jobs died and windows will own .

  • @gokuonfire12 YES!

  • I still have the old 30 gb zune its over 4 years old and still going strong!!!

  • It is easy to control the volume without looking at the Zune HD. Just touch the volume button and then slide your finger over the screen....you can hear the volume increase. It is very natural.

  • @lamewing Agreed. I had a Sansa before this and you used the circle thing to change the volume and when I got my Zune I thought it was weird and awkward, especially when it was in my pocket, but after you get used to it it's actually very convenient. Almost all the things different on a Zune will actually be better once you get used to them.

  • @lamewing

    well with ipods, you can just adjust the volume or skip, pause, or go the the previous song with clicking the headphone or just adjust the volume on the side... it is very natural

  • @lamewing So does a fuckin Ipod.

  • Bottom line, Still love Zune. ^^

  • The zune by far is better for people who just want music. If you like the pointless apps and shit then yeah iPod is better. The zune hd is 169.00 for 16gb now...the ipod touch 4th gen is 200 for 8gb...that plays a huge roll...

  • @Dekropttiv That is simply not true, most audiophiles that care about music will get Cowon players. It has the best DAC out of all these players. Try searching Cowon J3

  • @mindwaveESEA Oh no of course, I mean against the iPod and Zune the zune is better. They both produce the same sound quality honestly. so its just a matter of whats cheaper. But there are soo many music players outthere better than these. by far.

  • @Dekropttiv yeah I totally agree, I think iPod touch is basically a toy just like PSP and DS. However iPod Classic/Zune has better DAC for better quality music.

  • They need to make a google media player with a media version of androi or something similar. Now that would be awesome

  • so many people out to buy these things...

  • itouches or ipods or any apple product is only popular because...well. its brand name. Like a mac, everybody wants to have what everybody else has but it doesn't mean it works well. Not that the itouch isn't a bad product, i just don't like to conform to what everybody else is using. Plus i find the zune interface much more innovative and user-fun when it comes to listening music.

  • Just show the way zune better.

  • Ipod touch has a face camera!!!

  • the reason zune has so little apps is because its not something u let ur little kids play with when they wont shut the hell up. Zune hd is for hardcore music and video lovers while the ipod touch is just a toy. now before u people start bsing over this, think. Why would the zune have a social program, allowing you to share music, video, and buy music so easy??? the ipod touch does not. thats also why zune has more space, and a more user friendly monthly program to download songs with.

  • @CookieBoogy THIS!!! I love you. Also, I'm telling my brother about this. He will love you also.

  • @CookieBoogy i think its funny how you say the zunehd is for hardcore music and video lovers when itunes has more music and videos then zune market, and what makes the zune hardcore can u explain that without saying the itouches are for little kids?. i mean look at the facts. more music, more videos,WAY more apps, and its more popular then the zune. so i fail to see any logic in anything you wrote. the device with more features is usually the better one. some people like variety i.e many apps!

  • @CookieBoogy 100% agree, noone gets it dude..

  • @CookieBoogy Thank you. know i know what to get :D

  • @CookieBoogy Dont listen to them, Apple for the win, they will always overpass any other company especially in terms of mp3 players.

  • @CookieBoogy wonder what happen to the hardcore music "player"

  • @CookieBoogy Dude you're fucking retarded, and obviously a cheap ass brick that can't spend an extra $50 on a truely powerful device capable of crisp 720p videos, apps for kids and adults alike and a 1 Ghz processor that can actually open apps in milliseconds, compared to the zune that can't open a calculator app in 8 seconds. Oh and by the way, iPods, still in production, the zune however is discontinued for being a shitty device that failed against the iPod touch.

  • @CookieBoogy uh, ipod touch has itunes and you CAN buy music and videos fairly easy...as for the social program there's probably an app for that.

  • @CookieBoogy As much as I hate the Apple iPod ecosystem, the Zune HD is not for "hardcore music and video lovers," that is handed down to products coming from Cowon, Sandisk, or iRiver.

    But the Zune HD does blow the iPod away in terms of music quality.

  • @CookieBoogy if you actualy look at the vid the ipod can buy music,video,and apps but i totally agree with you i want an ipod touch because of all of the apps but i want a zune more because it has a better music experience

    still thinking........ cant decide

  • @CookieBoogy why won't you just shut the hell up and just admit that the iPod touch is a WAY better device. And first of all the app store on the iTouch has 350,000 + games and more than half of them are not for little kids who want to play with it . Face it . The Zune is dying for an upgrade . The iPod has 2 cameras, a reminder app , a WAY better browser . Now if your just routing for the Zune because you got one and you just won't admit that the iPod touch which you have no idea about i better

  • Zune HD FTW I own one :D

  • From my opinion both zune and iPod sucks.

    Ironically I'm using my iPod right now.

    I prefer iPod just because Microsoft sucks and copies whatever is out there.

  • funny how people complain about the zune just being a music player. last time i checked i bought my zune to listen to music not sit around using apps all day. i mean thats what its meant to be used for isnt it otherwise why not just buy a portable game system that you can put music on.

  • This is my second time watching this video! :)

  • The zune destroy's ipod zune ftw!

  • IPOD TOUCH FTW:) 5g comin sooon

  • Who the fuck buys a music player just for good apps? if i wanted apps i would get the i-phone. but for a MUSIC player like the i-pod touch, i would get for MUSIC and VIDEO playback. not for apps. and thats where my Zune HD comes in. You can tell that it was created for MUSIC and VIDEO playback. and it works PERFECTLY. it has better sound quality and the Oled screen kicks the i-pod's ass in any category! so if your not retarded and only want apps, do the SMART thing and get the Zune HD.

  • ipod>zune

    

  • you forgot to test how strong each is you sould of thrown both to the wall and see witch one would still be in one peice my guess woudl be the zune considering that ive had it for a year now and there isnt a scratch on it and i dont use a screen protector or case

  • the reason Ipod touches cost so much: Apps, your paying extra money to spend extra money. apps are expensive and usless, so what you can't change volume from outside. i have a 1st generation ipod touch. 4 years old i can't do it on that. i need a new player cause my buttons on my ipod are sometimes unresponsive. and i hate apple cause there corrupt money hordes. when you buy an i pod your paying for the "name" and the 'option' to buy apps.

  • Another thing better about the zune is when its how ever many gigs u get that amount and like the ipod it takes a few gigs away for the settings and stuff and the zune hd does not

  • People keep telling me that if the zune is so good why did the discontinue it... Screw you people, the zune was discontinued due to it's almost "underground" stature. 99% of people will tell you that they bought an ipod for the APPS. when 100% of zune will tell you they bought it for the reason an mp3 was created, to listen to music. Zune wins HANDS DOWN

  • @YourAverageSexyKids dude you are so right the only reason i got a zune was because of music. my brother and i wanted to test out how good the sound quality was on both s we took the same headphone (neither zune or apple) and put the volume up and played the same song the zune hd had NO static at all while the iPod sounded like crap it actually made my ears hurt so yes Zune wins

  • Damn... I need to upgrade my Zune! I didn't know they made a touch like the iPod.

  • The ui on zune is beautiful

  • if you think this guy is a Review Robot like this please! ;)

  • is it just me or does the zune look like more "futuristic" than the ipod?

  • I think i need a zune. i been teasing zune. but i really want one. apple stuff need fixing a lot.

  • Zune Hd: Its about Quality not Quantity

  • nice review keep it up.

    

  • It's nice to see music being listened to by products that aren't apple. Although I am a hypocrite when I say this, since I listen to music on an itouch. But I mean I also listen to music on my phone, and I'm glad to see that not the whole world is gone apple.
