YAY!!!
My Kicker arrived yesterday. I LOVE IT! The sound is SO much better than I ever expected and was totally what I wanted.
It is impossible to find anything for the Zune in a retail store. And if you are able to find a speaker stereo player for it, the sound doesn't even come close to this ZK500.
I'm so glad I took the time to research my purchase online and this Kicker got really great reviews. So here is my review as well... The ZKICK500 is GREAT! Easy to set up and I was smiling when the first song played. It is worth the $$...for sure and it shipped quicky and arrived super fast.
I highly recommend this player.
A must have!

speaker sounds great when it's not freezing and/or erasing my zune
First a thanks to the creative genius behind the invention of the worlds best MP3 palyer on the palnet. Second a big THANK YOU for not forgetting to include the Zune. I have searched for over a year for a MP3 player that would allow me to enjoy my Zune without the headphones on a player that would capture my music's true sound. I am so glad that I waited because the treasure I found was the ZK500. Finally I have a player that rocks the way I want to rock with bass & treble reproduction that truely KICKS! I have had my ZK500 for over 6 months now & have enjoyed it from the moment I took it out of the box. And yes I did have the crash issue (at a party) that was mentioned in a previous comment but once I upgraded my device on the Microsft Zune software/website it has been a match made in heaven. To all of the Zune warriors out there this is a MUST have!!!
sounds great but freezes and deletes my music when connected to the doc only works with aux cable but who wants to use it like that
This the Best !!! Love the Zune software, & this mutha is the icing on the cake.
i-pod/itunes can't touch Zune & the software that U use with it.
Remote has a nice range just crank it & go.......Got it for $200./CDN
