'Even without any of the whiz-bang options or noise-cancelling activated, music is full-bodied and vibrant. '

'MPEG-4 and WMV videos are playable as well.'

'Only three buttons have made their way into the hardware, including a large power/hold button on the top edge, a slim home button below the screen on the front of player, and a button on the left edge of the device for quickly calling up the Zune's onscreen playback and volume controls. '

'the screen is bright and sharp--due in part to Microsoft's decision to use OLED and keep it smaller.'

'superlative FM radio'

'The Zune packs enough grunt to play at a smooth frame rate and the pixel density means movies always look sharp.'
