Pros: Excellent sound quality and extended battery life. Cons: Unit does not have microphone input or remote jack.
Well it’s quickly approaching that time of year again and the dilemma of what to purchase for those difficult people is upon us. And trust me, my daughter is on that list! Knowing that she loves her music, I decided to purchase a mini disk Walkman for...
Pros: Cheap, portable, good sound quality and long play mode Cons: No mic input, unintuitive controls, a little plasticky
First, I must admit and declare that I am a big fan of Minidisc--having used the format for about 6 years--and so this review is written from the standpoint of a minidisc fan. This model was recently discontinued, but is still available from discounters...
Pros: Never skips, uses cheap interchangeable media, decent quality audio Cons: Long cumbersome outdated recording process, next generation adds USB (absolutely necessary)
I bought this a few years ago (maybe 2000 or so) on a whim. It was an open box discount, and I planned on trying it out and possibly returning it. I never did though. First, the best things about it. It uses MD's, which are cheap (get for $1 each ...
Pros: Highly upgradeable/hackable
Long battery life
Excelent sound quality (on LP2 mode)
Shiny and pretty
Cons: Battery "bulge"
Made by Sony
Realtime recording
A lot of stuff not built in
Hi all. Before I start rambling, I will say this review is to state the standard and hackable features the MZ-R500 has to offer. First off, I want to let you all know that i hate sony... They incorperate the latest and greatest techonlogies ...
Pros: Has everything needed for a recorder Cons: Can buy the newer MZ-R55
I bought the MZ-R50 while I was in Japan 2 summers ago. I feel that I might have made a mistake by buying early since new audio products have followed it--the much smaller, MZ-R55 with indiglo remote stick, and Rio MP3 players.
Pros: Great sound, cool remote, nice and portable Cons: Not cheap, overheats while recharging, poor record control
After watching the ads that introduced the R-50 during "Must-See-TV Thursday," Gadgetgrrl was literally in a sweat to get her hands on this hot commodity. Retail being (as always) slower than virtual reality, she was forced to buy it from a...
I'll start off my saying this may even be one of the greatest MD players.
I've read alot of reviews on this unit before I purchased it used over ebay because Sony stoped making it. But after hearing all about how great it is, I wanted to put...
Pros: Cheap, Compact, Lots of music Cons: Real-time recording, quality loss at MDLP4
I've had my tries at MP3 players, but they never impressed me much. The problem is that with MP3 players I'm always attached to a PC. If I want new music I have to go to my computer and transfer over music for listening. Then there's the problem of...
Pros: Great sound quality, input/output options, large LCD on unit, slim portable size! Cons: End-search button! Inconvenient for recording!
Minidisc Mania (or lack of)
Minidisc is already a very big thing in Japan. It’s been around forever (well, about a decade and a half is forever in today’s terms…). However, it’s only recently become more popular in other countries around the...
Pros: Excellent Battery life! Awesome audio quality, even in LP4 mode Cons: no backlight, manual song titling, no remote
Well, I finally decided to try a Mini Disc player, I was looking locally (at Sears), not a major variety there mind you.. Sony and Sharp closeouts.. I wanted to save some money, so I bought the least expensive one they had, the Sharp SR-60.. I had it a...
Pros: Ease of use, No skipping, Size Cons: No Backlit display
The great thing about minidisc is their portability. They are small enough to fit in your pocket, yet they pack as ound that is identical to CDs (to most people). The Sony MZ-R50 is a great minidisc player that lets the music of minidisc come to...
Pros: Small, easy to use, no stupid remote, great battery life. Cons: Headphones are cheap.
I recently purchased a Sony MZ-R500 from Best Buy ($179) to replace my home MD deck which just broke. I thought that a portable player/recorder would be the perfect replacement. I was right!
About a year ago I bought an Audiophase portable...
Pros: Compact, Light weight, Decent sound quality Cons: Quite a few actually... see review for details
Sony MZ-R500PC
Here is the "lowdown" on this device. First of all don't let the salesman tell you that these MD players produce CD quality sound. They don't, although the difference is very small. You will notice this especially when using...
Pros: Decent price for the average MiniDisc user Cons: Awkward interface, lack of a Mic jack poses problems for live recording
In addition to my hobbies of reading, cooking, and computers I am also an avid music collector and aficionado--also, I am a classical musician (working on my master's degree in performance). I bought this MiniDisc recorder with the hopes of using it as...
