• Duet Dual Port USB Charger

  Excellent device. It will work with most standard USB devices other than a few odd balls like the Zen. I can charge two Sony Walkmans at the same time. It has universal input 110-240V AC and has dual 5V 500 ma USB outputs. The charger is about the same size as a Sony NWZ Walkman.
  
  

• Incompatible with Zen

  
  By A2D77V379ANQE6 on 2007-07-23
  This seemed like a nifty accessory: compact and energy efficient, charges two players at a time, and $10 cheaper than the bulky Creative charger with its tangly power cord and adapter. I asked the store sales assistant twice if it would work with the Creative Zen V Plus I was purchasing and she assured me it would.
  
  It doesn't. I plugged in my Zen with its half charge from the factory, and by morning the battery was dead. I called the toll-free number on the back of the charger and was told the Duet is incompatible with Zens.
  
  I wish I didn't have to rate the product poorly. It may be terrific. I just want people to know they should check with the manufacturer for compatibility: 800-637-2867. Their web site is unhelpful.
  
  

• awesome little gadget!

  We travel out of the country often, so lugging a laptop AND the electronics would be troublesome. This allows us to charge our ipod nanos and our archos 504s without any problems. I've charged all my standard USB stuff with this. IT won't work with my Samsung cell (non-standard USB) nor my DS Lite (non-standard USB) it will charge my fuji finepix digital camera so long as I have the dock and the usb.
  
  

• Small and effective

  
  By AMZEO6TOTPSR7 on 2008-06-30
  The biggest and best surprise I received when I opened the package was the size of the device. It is only 5/8" thick at it's thickest point, and the A/C jack folds into the device. The two ports power my iPod and cell phone (the cell phone, a Motorola Q9M, complains that it is an unsupported device, but charges fine) so that I don't need to fire up my computer to get them some juice.
  
  

• 2 charging ports = Genius!

  Anything I can do to reduce the clutter of chargers is a plus - so I was very pleased to find this 2 port charger that I now use for my Zune and Treo. My understanding from the manufacturer is that it works with all STANDARD USB connections and not all MP3 players/PDA's are.
  
  They work for my devices and my daughters iPOd - so we could not be happier with this small, cool charger. After buying one ... you will wonder why you didn't pick up more! Good product - excellent value.
  
  
• Just what I needed
  By A3H627HN35JF76 on 2008-06-02
  So far so good with the MusicPower Duet. No more clogging my workspace or the USB ports on my computer charging Sony and Zune players for my son and I. It's now in the kitchen for easy access. This one device came at a price less than the individual name brand chargers. I certainly can't attest to any long-term performance, but I hope it continues to be fast and convenient.
  
  
• What, no charge light?
  By A25INU4YG4UN2Z on 2008-06-13
  This would have been really great if it had a red light to indicate CHARGING and a green to show the battery has been fully CHARGED. Other than that, neat little gizmo.

  We are extremely happy with this product it is as what they say it does in the description and amazon has the best price of any online retailer that sells this product
  
  
• Excellent Product! Excellent Price!!
  By AC2EGRJTJYVBA on 2008-10-09
  Great device! It's very slim, light, and the plug folds flat to fit in your shirt pocket or suitcase when traveling. I like the fact that I can travel abroad with this charger and that it's flexible enough to charge my iPhone and also my other USB-powered devices.
  
  Personally, I am happy that there is no LED charge light. I already have too many LED's glowing in my room and most devices inform you of their charge status. Although LEDs do not draw much power, I'm just as happy that this device does not draw ANY power on a light I don't want or need.
  
  Highly Recommended!
  
  
  
• Charged a Zune in China
  By A2BGBJ08BUTV7R on 2008-07-05
  Traveled to China, so it was used with 240V 50hz to charge a Zune. No issues.
  
  
• Does the trick
  By A3QL0RT8DISNGM on 2008-07-14
  Perfect charger for an ipod. Two usb items can plug into a 110 socket, so you don't have to have your notebook near by to charge.
  
  
• Cheap, works great!
  By A186O8G47X5SOI on 2008-07-28
  I use this power adapter for charging my iPod Touch, and it works very well. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. It's cheap, and it works great!

• MusicPower Duet Two-USB Port AC Charger
  By AG6TE3YYLRWZO on 2008-10-25
  I first saw this device when a friend brought it on a trip with us. I liked the convenience of being able to charge both my iPhone and a separate USB-chargable phone simultaneously.
  
  The charger has a pullout plug at the top, so when it is not in use it is very small - about the size of an iPhone, and very light. It works fine and I have encountered no problems with it's use.
  
  If you are looking for a charger for an iPhone, iPod or USB-chargable telephone, this charger should be quite suitable. And the price is very good, so it is high value for money - certainly an important consideration during the current times!
  
  
• Razr Incompatible; low output voltage
  By ATOKT8QYK967L on 2008-11-17
  Output voltages on this unit are 2.5V and 1.5V. Neither voltage is enough to charge the Razr. The Razr charger is rated at 5.0V. Before you assume this low-voltage charger will work with your device, check the output of the charger it came with (or the input requirement listed in the owner manual). I suspect it would have trouble charging myriad USB devices. Kensington's 4-port USB charger costs nearly $30 but it puts out the full 5V at 2.0 amps; that's the one I'm buying to replace this mistake.
