Microsoft Zune HD

Ahead of its time, elegant in design, and quietly brilliant, the Zune HD was a reminder that sometimes innovation isn't measured by popularity, but by vision.

I purchased my Zune from a bid on eBay. I paid around $30 with the condition being "For Parts". However, plugging it in revealed it worked perfectly!

The body of the device is also nearly perfect, minus some scratches and scuffs that come naturally with use.

The Zune software, despite not getting updates for more than a decade, worked perfectly on Windows 10. Getting music on the Zune is super simple and easy, with the only drawback being that avatar backgrounds do not work anymore (although I am aware some passionate developers are out there trying to get this working).
