Pros: Size, Battery Life, Stylish, Features Cons: Buttons are small, Jog dial learning curve, headphones, Seek time, small screen
I am what you would call an aspiring audiophile. When I am in need of A/V equipment, I'll scour the web for the best quality product available at my price point. Hours upon hours of research later, I'll decide on a product and purchase it.
Pros: the best in everyway Cons: minor personal preferences
This being my eighth mini-disc player, I think that I am knowledgeable enough to talk about the mz-r900. I can honesty say that this is the best mini-disc player that I have had in my hands. It is the one with the most features and the one that I think...
Pros: EVERY OPTION THERE IS!! Battery life, skip protection, size, weight! Cons: Price! Remote is large, heavy, and hard to use.
I've owned 5 minidisc portables in my lifetime, and this unit is by far the most option laden unit I've come across! There is every option conceivable:
Record in standard mode, LP2, and LP4, long battery life (53 hours), end search, countdown...
Pros: Small, Beautiful, Great sound quality, it's a Sony Cons: Expensive, beep on remote, noisy, it's a Sony
Model: Sony MZ-E900 Midnight Blue colour
Model reviewed: 300xxx range
After 2 months waiting for this product to be released by Dixons UK, I got this in February 2001 in a UK Sony store. I managed £15 off when I threatened to buy it an...
Pros: MDLP=160 minutes of CD quality music;
Small compact unit;
Long battery life Cons: Interface is difficult to use;
Bass not as good as Sharp MD players;
Price!
Coming soon to an electronics store near you, its the Sony MZ-R900. Set to be released in the United states sometimes this summer (July 2001; MSRP $350), Sony's flagship MDLP player will finally see the light of day stateside.
Pros: Records, Super Small Size, MDLP, Battery, Adj. Playback Speed; ALL THE NEWEST STUFF Cons: PRICE!!
Being an avid minidisc fanatic, and owning more than 12 Minidisc portables within the past three years, I can safely say that the MZ-R900 is the best Sony MD portable recorder on the market right now.
Pros: Feature packed, small, light, battery last forever Cons: Not internationally available ..... YET
The MZ-R900 is the first portable recorder that utilises the ATRAC3 compression (which allows you to record up to 160 minutes with the 80 minutes MD in stereo mode and a whooping 5 hours in mono recording mode). ATRAC 3 isn't really new because Sony have...
Pros: Excellent sound quality and nice features. Cons: A bit costly when compared with other brands.
The MZ-R900 has actually been my second MD that I've owned yet so far. My first, was the Japanese model of Sharp's MT-77. At first glance, the Sony MZ-R900 looks like a very sleek and stylish MD with its shiny chrome covering. The looks don't lie......
Pros: Long battery life, 4LP, excellent sound, easy to use remote, Cons: You'll have to buy new headphones (that's all)
I previously owned the sony MZ-R70 MD player and I was never that happy with it. Thankfully the remote control broke and I was able to take it back and exchange it for the MZ-R900. I have to say now that I am completely blown away with the technology...
Pros: The different long play modes and it is the smallest player/recorder around! Cons: At $230 some might find it expensive.
The Sony MZR-900 is the first mini disk player/recorder I have bought. It cost me around 200 pounds from the UK (I live there) in US dollars that’s about $250 but I am not sure if it will cost the same over there when it is released in June/July. On...
Pros: The best money can buy; comprehensive 70-page user manual; MDLP Cons: EARPHONES! no multi-voltage power supply; noisy mechanism; fiddly menu operation
I bought the R900 to replace my Sharp 821 on March 1st in Hongkong. Cost about US$320 from Sony Hong Kong or their authorised dealers. It's a UK/HK model with 230V power supply (we share the same mains socket), and comes with a 15 months local warranty...
Pros: Excellent battery life, portable, many features Cons: features are only accessible by menu, no separate line out
In the past couple of months, I've owned two Minidisc recorders: Sony's legendary MZ-R50 and their latest MZ-R900. The Minidisc format appealed to me because of its ease of recording my band's rehearsals and to listen to at the gym. The MZ-R50 worked...
Pros: Long battery life; excellent sound; nice remote control; beautiful design Cons: Weak sound in long-play mode; ear-bud headphones
MINIDISC PLAYERS: THE BAD OLD DAYS
My first experience with Minidisc was unfortunately with the first-generation units, which came out around 1991. These units were designed to replace the Compact Cassette format, and they sounded just about...
Pros: Long battery life, small, nice colors Cons: Expensive
I got the R900 today. I got it in white. It is a nice unit.
The track access times are noticeably better than the r90. In my mind, track access times are no longer an issue, thank goodness. R90/r70 owners, if you are concerned, don't be. The...
Pros: Great size, strong, long battery life, options up the wazoo! Cons: Packaged ear buds suck and sound level is lower then I like.
Almost two weeks ago I was looking into MP3 players and a friend pulled his MD player (a sharp model) out of his pocket to show me. I was very impressed with the size. After I talked to him and did lots of research I decided to get one (a birthday...
