Best Minidisc for this Price Range

by lensephlare , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Very small size, Impressive battery life, good skip protection
Cons: No backlight on remote
I bought this minidisc as a replacement for another one which I had bought previously. I have been more than pleased with its performance, and I have found it to be a sound investment.

I bring this unit with me whenever I go to workout, and as...

Good Bang for the Buck

by hartmanw , Aug 08 '01
Pros: A lightweight, great-sounding, great-looking product.
Cons: Not the most intuitive MD Player. Lack of LCD remote.
With the surge of mp3's this past few years, and with MD makers getting wise on that fact, I was in the market for a MD player with mp3 recording capabilities. I turned to Sharp and Sony for their latest offerings. The ones I bought? the MZ-r700PC for...

Buy the MZ-R90 instead

by headspin303 , Apr 05 '01
Pros: Good sound, portable, mini discs look cool!
Cons: Awkward remote, headphones they supply are cheap, poor rechargable battery life.
I am reasonably happy with this purchase, although I am not very happy about the fact that I had to fork out another 20 pounds to buy headphones with a better bass. You really need to do this, so you may as well add on 20 pounds to the cost now. The...

Alot of sound that you could fit into your pocket.

by NicKx2oOo1 , Jan 19 '01
Pros: small, can record with a mic, can record of your cd player and computer
Cons: really is no point for "remote control", nowhere to clip onto yourself
This Minidisc player is great. It let's you record and create the soundtrack of your life off of the computer(works great with Napster) and any other audio player. You can also record your own voice on a microphone. And if you have song on your mix that...

Great sound but limited convenience

by cesareborgia , Oct 08 '01
Pros: Small size, cheap to add capacity, great megabass sound
Cons: Slow to transfer files, slow to scan forward & backward, low maximum volume
I bought the Sony MD MZ-700DPC because it was small, looked great, and seemed to offer some real advantages over my Rio 800 portable MP3 player: (1) the MD player could record 5 hrs on one minidisc, as opposed to 1 hr of decent quality sound on my 64mb...

Jazzy Jogger

by Buzzmister , Aug 02 '01
Pros: Digital bass, Great sound quality, rechargeable battery, pc-link, compact, remote
Cons: headphones, the case it comes with is just a pouch that can't fit much
This incredible portable mini-disc player from Sony is an excellent choice for all joggers.

Smaller and weighing less than the average cd player, this 'jukebox' can fit in any pocket while jogging. Also, you can use features like playing,...

Expensive little toy

by MoHNeY , Mar 27 '01
Pros: minidisks are CHEAP
Cons: you can't edit the song names easily
i bought this system, 10 minidisks, and a little carrying case for the disks, and tell you the truth i'm not impressed for 300 bucks.

the system is great, plays the music when i need it, fits in the ash tray of my truck, and has a neat...

MD Rocks!

by mzonline , Jan 26 '01
Pros: tiny size, high quality recording
Cons: bit noisy, delayed reaction with some buttons
I never quite figured out why MD was actually picking up speed, with CD recorders so cheap nowadays it didn't make sense. Then I heard some live recordings made on MD and it hit me. When it comes to high quality audio, the standard is DAT. DAT is the...

Great Gadget

by reive , May 13 '00
Pros: small, light comprehensive
Cons: tricky user interface
This minidisc player is the coolest thing I don't need. You can record your own discs with it by hooking it up to a stereo or a computer. The user interface on it is a little tricky, but is very well developed for detail track labeling and disc...

My music machine

by k_spartan , Dec 26 '01
Pros: Portability, durability, MDLP, battery life
Cons: Pricey (was)
Upon the release of MDLP technology I knew I had to get into the mini disc scene. I chose from the most reliable brands (from experience) and the most affordable price with the options I needed. What I ended up with was the Sony "700" model.

Bootlegger 2000

by heavyd1850 , Oct 15 '00
Pros: External Microphone option, recording modes, small media
Cons: price, somewhat noisy
If you are one who loves to legally bootleg live concerts for your own personal enjoyment this is the product for you. Unlike analog devices, Mini Disc is truly digital and is free of actual physical impairments on the media. With this model you can...

This thing is indestructable!!!

by pawluktrio , Oct 25 '01
Pros: Great battery life, small, good sound
Cons: Remote is cheap
Sony has come out with many a mini-disk recorder, but this one sure comes out of the woodwork. The first thing I said when I looked at buying a MD recorder was the price, and the MZ-R70 model sure puts up a good fight. For roughly 200 dollars, you can...

Good player for its current price.

by fuzziebio , Dec 10 '02
Pros: Good sound quality, EXREMELY DURABLE!
Cons: Recording from a live source takes a bit to get used to.
A nice MD player/recorder that uses live recording instead of today's NetMD recording. The live recording offers excellent quality, and records at real-time as well. This process, however, does take a while to get used to without causing any audio...

Good MD player, but there are better

by daisuke69 , Feb 05 '03
Pros: Decent sound, portable, AA battery usage, externally rugged, digital in.
Cons: sensitive mechanical parts, color versions lose their paint, no backlit LCD
I write this review after 2 years of owning this unit, it finally died on me about 2 weeks ago and I´ve replaced it with the N505.

This unit was never very good for me, it was always skipping even when it was pretty much new and got worse and...

Greater than any MP3 player

by guilleman , Apr 24 '06
Pros: Comfortable size, Digital PClink. It record up to 320' on an 80' MD. Low price.
Cons: Its headphones and the remote control doesn't have a display, it could have been better.
Since I bought MZ-R700, I take it everywhere with me. It's very small so you can carry it in the pocket of your jean. You don't need to take many MDs with you because each one records up to 320min. It will never jump. The headphones are not good enough...
