AC Adapter? It says a 6V AC adapter does not ship with it, but from where could I obtain it? Does it just take the USB/AC power adapter from the Zune? I doubting it.

I love my Zune. But, the big disappointment comes with the battery life. I loved how my iPod would last 4 or 5 days, occasionally even longer, without a charge when on minimal use including watching movies. The Zune however really needs to be charged every 2 days with minimal use. If i have it fully charged today at 8AM - There's a possibility by tomorrow at 8AM during my train ride to work it could die out. Usually it doesnt even indicate that the bettery needs to be charged, it will seem 20% full and than die out. Thats the only disappointment with the Zune, is the excessive charging and the lack of a strong battery life. I carry my Zune USB charger everywhere i go. I don't believe the rated hours of play provided by Zune.Net at all. Definitely get yourself a wall charger, as it charges quicker than through a USB connector.

I just got a new zune. I plugged it in to charge it and it never charged, it was stuck on the charging screen. I called zune and they want me to drain the battery, by holding down the play button until the device says low battery. It is supposed to take 15 minutes. Then they want me to recharge it again. At least the customer support was fairly quick. I'm hoping this battery is going to drain soon. It's been 8 minutes.

Thanks for your response Mr. Holder. I did return mine and the replacement unit works great. I'm not sure if I plugged the first one into a separate power source so it may have been my fault it didn't work. I wish it came with clearer instructions. I may have thought it ran off the power of the stereo or zune.

Oops, maybe the AC plug didn't come with it - others here have said no, and I don't remember. But the USB plugs into any other AC plugs with USB, like for phone, iPod, etc.

Just make sure its on and plugged into the speaker jack on the laptop. I will charge it while plugged into my zune with no problems.

Mine came with an AC adapter - But was useless. Did not work at all. So I don't know if even buying a adapter would even work. Since the one that came with it dose not work. A lot of the the reviews I read said that their headphones did not come with a AC adapter. I don't know what's worse - Get no adapter or getting an adapter that dose not work. Well I mainly bought these because they had the Sharper Image name on them. Well this has destroyed my faith in the Sharper Image Products. Never again will I ever buy a Sharper Image product.

I have the same problem. Got my Zune today and nothing. The battery icon stays on the screen even when it is unplugged. Guess the price was too good to be true.

I believe it works with a wide variety of Zunes. I know mine came with 4 or so different adjusters for different zune models, but I do not remember the exact types since I only use one of them. The main thing is if it uses the same zune port the Zune HD does it should work fine (the connector moves position to match former zunes)

It comes with the AC adapter but it doesn't come with the USB cable to plug into the computer. However it comes with a free download of Audio editing/mixing software from Tracktion which is pretty cool.

Nope: this plugs into your power supply or cigarette lighter and then plays the Zune over the radio frequency you assign it.

To help you all: Moments ago this happened to me. Connect the Zune to your computer. Immediately, hold down the play button and while holding it down lock the Zune. Then continue to hold the play button, then press the center button, and the back button (do not let go) as you onlock the Zune with the other hand. The battery charger icon will appear. Then sign into your Zune account, see if the device appears. If not, wait until the update software comes on and update software to 2.3. Within minutes, mine started to work. Hope this helps you all; and good luck!

When we purchased ours it came with an AC power adapter. I know Radio Shack carries adapters that have variable voltage, perhaps they or a store similar to them could help you in selecting one.

Nope... Different hardware... you are better off getting a myvu headset and the correct cable (zune adapter)
