what are you playing your zune through (other than headphones)

relikizan · 03-09-2007, 02:33 PM

Hey guys,

other than your headphones, what are you guys playing your zune through? just wondering as i'm looking to get some type of speakers and can only find the Altec Lansings for the zune. just wanted to get your opinions, thanx!

I play mine in the kitchen through a pair of computer speakers. Easy because it already has an 1/8" plugin on it. I have a 1/8" to RCA hooked up to my stereo in the living room, I also usually have my laptop hooked up to that so I can just play from the software. In my car I have a radio signal player that I got at Costco that works pretty well for me.

You can play this thing through anything you can get a 1/8" plug from. There really isn't a select exclusive speaker to play from.

In the bedroom I have a 1/8"->RCA connected to a stereo in my room. Same connection for the car stereo. Then I use the 360 for playing music from Zune in the living room.

Bose Companion 3's.... Sounds INCREDIBLE

I play mine through my Onkyo Surround Sound Receiver. I can run video through it too straight into the receiver and then to the TV. It works great, my only gripe is that I have to use the front inputs since the others are all taken, so I won't be able to leave a dock up there because it looks sloppy.

snowmandc · 03-20-2007, 05:31 PM

i play mine in my trucks tv's (MUSIC VIDEOS), but that sucks because the zune lacks the abaility to go from one video to the next without me touching it.

I play stuff on my Zune through the TV more often than headphones...

Eventually, it will also be wired to my car (once i get it :P ), however I still use a cassette adapter whenever I drive in one that supports it.

I have some el-cheapo portable speakers which i rarely use, although they do convey a fairly good sound.

I play mine through my Toyota Prius (line in)!
Playlists = win.

If you don't have "your car" yet, I presume you don't have your stereo either...so when you buy it (the stereo), try to find one with an aux input. Cassette adapters yield poor sound quality and don't allow for a clean install.

Javiert92 · 04-05-2007, 09:47 AM

I play it through my Creative speakers mostly (compared to the other things, although the headphones would be the majority of the time), the TV, or my 360.

MajerPayne · 04-05-2007, 01:51 PM

I actually do have the stereo
Double-DIN Pioneer LCD wooo!
It has 3 or 4 AUX inputs, so I think I'm OK :P

at home I use my altec lansing computer speakers.

nighthawkz6 · 04-11-2007, 04:47 PM

I use my logitech 5.1 surround sound, but since Zune is not 5.1 capable, all the speakers do not open up. Though, it's still banging loud and clear when you're getting 240 watts from your Zune

.

Legato · 04-11-2007, 08:21 PM

when im in my room, i use an audio out cable pugged in my Sony MHCGX450 stereo. in my truck, i use a belkin fm transmitter, or in my dad/mom's truck, i plug into the aux port.

maxjohast · 05-01-2007, 09:49 AM

In the car, I use a belkin tune-base dock, using a line in cable from the bottom of the dock to my stereo. at home or at work, I have a JBL MP3 speaker(s), great sound for only $20, if you look hard enough!

Trogdor · 05-01-2007, 01:38 PM

Go here for moreand when not using that i'll use my old computer speakers

Thrax · 05-02-2007, 08:40 PM
