Zune Docking Station The NS108B features a certified Zune docking station. While your Zune is docked, it'll receive a charge, so when you take off, it won't be with a dead battery. Enjoy your favorite tunes through room-filling stereo speakers, and dial in the sound you like with the four preset EQ settings.
Inputs/Outputs Use the 3.5-mm auxiliary input jack for external audio devices like MP3 or CD players. The auxiliary output will send your Zune's signal to an external device, and the RCA video output is great for watching Zune videos on your TV.
Digital Clock Display Check the time with the see-though LCD with white backlight. It's a cool, modern touch to an already stylish system. Two AAA batteries can be used as power backup so you always have the right time.
Full-Function Remote Control your docked Zune as well as the unit's volume and EQ functions from across the room with the included remote control.

This review is from: Zlive Speaker System and Docking Station for Zune (Black) (Electronics)
I received a Zune for Christmas, which is what I wanted (I'm not an 'Apple' person), and bought this to use my mp3 player at work. Essentially, the unit sounds and looks good, but it doesn't connect 100% to the Zune and has to be plugged and replugged until it works. The most frustrating thing is that the remote only works when it chooses to, which is about half the time! I put a new battery into it, hoping to alleviate the problem, but it didn't. Now, I simply don't use the remote; I get too frustrated wondering whether or not it's going to work this time!
The sound quality is good. I use it in an office, so I don't have it cranked up to maximum, but it does what I bought it for. I just wish they hadn't even included a remote it the darn thing wasn't dependable.
WELL, (Jan. 30) it's been sent back to the company for a week now. It is completely unusable. If the unit is repaired or replaced and sent back to me in a timely manner, I will raise my rating to...Read more

Zlive's first speaker, the NS108B is really a Zune version of the iLive IS208B ipod/touch speaker dock tailored, of course for Zune devices. I bought this from Amazon.com for $59.99, presumably retail, seeing as it's not available anywhere, not even on Amazon for 1-2 months or on the Zlive website. The ipod version maxes out at $51.99 (average $40).
Unboxing: Nice package, all the standards. Just plugging it in lights up the clock display.
What's included: Clips for different Zune sizes, the remote (with button battery already installed), warranty and manual.
Operation: Pretty simple, plug it in, clip in your clip for your Zune device and slide in your Zune to start playing.
Sound quality: Given its size, the Zlive NS108B gets very good volume considering it's size. It's not a full sound and sounds kind of confined, or rather restrained in the bass section and even a bit in the highs; but it's not meant to be a boombox (we're waiting on Zlive's 2nd entry for that)...Read more

Zune Dock w/Speaks - Small, but Mighty,

After looking all over for a Docking Station for the new Zunes I just bought my two girls for Christmas, I finally found this through Amazon (everything is for I-Pods ... oyyyy). I did find another type of docking station at Best Buy, which was $99, but read bad reviews on the Internet. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound and volume for such a little box. As other people have mentioned, it is not a Bose stereo that you will use for a large party, but definately will serve your purpose for a kitchen or bedroom. My girls absolutely loved them. I actually paid $59.99 right before Christmas, but now see they are $47.99, which I am bummed since I can't return since they are open, being used and would spend the difference of savings on shipping back. However, I think they are worth the price - $59.99 or $47.99.
Good luck and Happy New Year!
