Amazon.com Product Description
The Zune Travel Pack includes everything you need to travel in style with your Zune. Included are a pair of Zune Premium Earphones, which feature an in-ear design to help block-out unwanted background noise. Sure, the Zune comes with a pair of really nice ear-bud style headphones, but with a second pair, a friend or family member can listen along with you. To ensure that your listening buddy can share in the fun, a dual headphone jack is included with the travel pack. Simply plug in the dual head phone jack, and then plug in two pairs of Zune headphones and you're ready to rock and roll with a buddy. Built into the dual headphone jack is a dual connect remote feature. The dual connect remote offers convenient playlist control with independent amplifiers and volume controls so you can listen to music the way you want to. Other travel pack accessories include a Zune AC Adapter, a Zune Gear Bag, and a Zune Sync Cable. The AC adapter is a great way to charge your device in the absence of a computer. A Zune sync cable is included so you can connect your Zune to the AC adapter on the road. Even though every Zune comes with a sync cable, the inclusion of an additional sync cable with the travel kit allows you the convenience of leaving a sync cable next to your home PC or office computer. When the situation forces you to put down the headphones, the Zune gear bag provides a rugged, durable exterior to protect your Zune and its related accessories. The inside of the gear bag is form-fitted to protect your Zune as well as other travel accessories. There is space for a Zune, premium headphones, an AC adapter, and a sync cable. What's in the Box
Zune gear bag, dual jack/remote control, earphones, sync cable, and AC adapter. 
The Zune Travel Pack includes everything you need when you're on the go with your Zune. |

 A shaving kit for your Zune January 14, 2007
J. M. Lavender (Roanoke, TX United States)

This is an excellent selection of accessories for the Zune. Though it's marketed as a Travel kit, I find that I use most of the accessories frequently, such as the AC charger and extra synch cable, the much improved earphones, and the remote. I even use the case as it is excellent for keeping all my Zune accessories in one place.
Regarding the case, it is well organized and quite roomy, though it resembles a shaving kit more than a case for a media player. It has a padded socket for the Zune with an elastic strap to hold it secure. It also has a custom fitted place for the earphone case and the AC adapter. The general use storage has plenty of room for the synch cable, remote, additional earphones and such.
The earphones are very good and are quite an improvement over the stock earphones that come with the Zune. There are 3 different sized pads, so this should work for most users who aren't adverse to in-canal earphones. It includes a plastic case that keeps the earphones and pads secure, but is a little unwieldly to wind the cord up and jam it all in. The base is strong and the treble is good, and since these are in-canal earphones, they do an adequate job of blocking out some noise, though they are not noise-canceling.
The remote is actually a nice suprise for me, as I did not expect to find it useful. It's great for keeping the Zune stored away in a jacket pocket or backpack, but still have access to basic functionality like volume or changing tracks. It also does dual purpose as a splitter, so a second listener can jack-in and listen along with you.
The additional synch cable is needed for connecting the Zune to the AC charger, and can also be used for connecting to a PC or an Xbox 360, both of which will charge the device. Having this second synch cable enables me to leave one cable connected to my PC at home all the time, but insures that I always have a cable with my Zune for opportunities to charge, synch or output to an Xbox 360 while away from home.
Strongly recommended for Zune owners.
 Only Works with Zune 30GB January 8, 2008

Amazon needs to provide this information in its description: The wired remote only works with the Zune 30GB. It does not work with the newer Zune 80 or 4 or 8. Even Microsoft is a bit obscure about compatibility. You can find the information in Microsoft's forums.
Exceeds expectations January 20, 2007

I've been literally waiting for the mailman each day to deliver the travel pack to me and it finally arrived today. Even though I was very excited about getting it, I was even more excited with actually using the accessories. The case is nice: big enough to fit anything important in it and small enough to travel with. It is also very organized. The adapter's nothing new, it charges the zune (obviously). I suppose its good for when there isn't a computer available, but I already had one, so I didn't care a whole lot. The dual headphone jack controller is extremely convenient. I tend to go on vacation with my family and not everyone in it wants to listen to what's on the car's radio. I can share my music with my friends and family now and not have to either listen to it with the volume too high or the volume to low. I can control how I want to hear the music, and they can control how they hear it. The most fascinating item included were the headphones. I knew that they were supposed to be able to isolate noise, but I didn't realize that it made that much of a difference. As soon as I put them on, everything went silent and the only thing I could hear was the music. However, this does not mean that they necessarily reduce all noise to nothing. At the time I was alone at my house, and as soon as people got home, there was audible noise. I did notice an extreme reduction, though, and am happy that I bought them for the price I paid. Strongly recommended for travelers and non-travelers alike.
 Not worth the cost July 30, 2007

I bought the travel pack hoping mostly for better headphones and secondarily for a good travel case, but neither lived up to my expectations, and I don't think my expectations were that high. The headphones have what appears to be a smart design, using interchangeable rubber cups to try and fit all ear sizes. However, what I found was that none of them were comfortable to wear on a two hour flight and the sound quality was no better than the stock ear buds. The travel case, while sturdy, has no handle or strap of any kind and I found that to be problematic while getting through airports and even on an airplane. The A/C adaptor is redundant with other accessories and should be sold separately.

The headphones are good, but not great. The charger is just a USB charger with the Zune logo on it. The extra cable is only there so you have something to plug into the USB charger, and the headphone splitter/remote is really only useful if you're planning to share your traveling Zune experience with a 2nd person. And if this is a Travel Pack, why is there no car charger included?
The real draw of this kit is how all of these accessories work along with the case. The case is compartmentalized, so all Zune-branded products fit snugly into predefined niches which keeps everything from rattling around. You can purchase non-branded versions of all these accessories for a lot less money, but if you're really hung up on organization, this is probably the way you want to go.
