Monster ZU FM XMTR300 Radioplay 300 (Designed For Zune)

 (14 customer reviews)

I just got this today at target. I was very skeptic before I bought it because the Microsoft Zune Fm Transmitter is just God awful. I mean I could never really get a good reception there was always static with the microsoft transmitter.

The monster Fm transmitter you can get a good signal without any static at all on all the FM stations.

I only wish that the Monster Transmitter was able to charge your Zune because I only have one cigarette lighter in my car. I mean I did pay $60 for it.

Why shouldn't it be able to charge and play music at the same time.

Overall I do recommend it.

Hypothetically, the concept of these transmitters should be perfect. However, they are not. If you are looking for a perfect sounding performance of your mp3s....one that sounds similar to popping in a CD or turning on a radio station... chances are, you are not going to be satisfied with one of these devices.

Yes, this particular one made by MONSTER does work better than the average transmitter. But know this.... there WILL be static. If you live in a busy city, you can certainly count on that. Less populated areas may not be nearly as staticy because, perhaps, there are not as many pre-existing radio stations in your area to interfear and break thru. Other than that... unless you are standing still and in an opportune spot, you will get some static. Now, most of the time the static is tolerable and almost unaudible... so the average Joe will be A-okay with this device. But if hot-spots (similar to dealing with a less-than-quality cell service) bother you....save yourself...Read more

The Monster works great. Just be sure to turn the volume on your Zune high up, otherwise having your car radio's volume set high to compensate will let some static leak in through your music. At least, I found this helpful. Worked like a charm.
