Sharp MD-MS722 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: Good Price, Jog-Dial, Backlit Remote, User Friendly
Cons: None.. Really.. There are none!

I bought my 722 in August 2001 off of uBid.com. I had debated a MiniDisc player vs. an MP3 player for quite awhile. I decided on MiniDisc because blank 70 minute discs only cost about $4 while 64 megs for an mp3 player costs upwards of $120 or more....

Pros: great sound, low price, easy interface
Cons: heavy, bulkier than other MD recorders

I bought this product recently to find there was also a $50 rebate to its normal $239 price tag. Therefore the pricetag becomes a great $189, making it one of the cheapest minidisc recorders out there. However the rebate only lasts till 4/1/00 so get...

Pros: Slot-In Loading, 40 Sec. ESP, Remote, Recordable, Stylish
Cons: The included headphones are cheap (But upgradable)

The Sharp MD-MS722. One word. WOW. It was about four months ago when I became aware of the mini disc technology. I knew right away that I needed to get one, so I began to do my homework.

I began to...

Pros: Inexpensive, sturdy, good audio quality
Cons: Crummy headphones included

I purchased my Sharp 722 in February, 2000 from buy.com and took advantage of the $50 rebate being offered from Sharp. Up to this day, I have not been disappointed with that investment. I purchased the unit to upgrade from the Sharp 702 player I'd...

Pros: Incredible sound - Incredible price!
Cons: No playback programming feature - Can't record or play MP3 files directly

It's rare to find products these days that deliver on their marketing promises. The Sharp MD-MS722 delivers a whole lot more! If you've avoided minidisc technology because you heard that sound quality was compromised in order to compress more sound on...

Pros: Easy to use, jog dial, long battery life, rechargeable battery, sound quality, durable
Cons: hard to find nowadays, great headphones not included

I purchased the Sharp MD-MS722 because my previous MD Player, the MD-MT15 had met its demise. However, using my MD-MS722 made me realize the shortcomings of my previous player.

For one, my MD-MT15 bought it while working out at the gym. The...

Pros: Packed with features, Durable.
Cons: A bit bulky.

Everyone knows Sharp. A great company with great products. Well the Sharp Md-MS722 is no different. I've had mine for about 8 months now and have had no problems with it. And believe me I give mine plenty of use. It still works great that meaning,...

Pros: Excellent Sound Quality, Portable, Programmable Track Names
Cons: Programming Has a Learning Curve, A Bit Heavy

During my trip to Japan in 1998, I decided to buy the Sharp MD-MS721-A MiniDisc player at Akihabara as a curiosity. The MS721 is a domestic (Japanese) version, which is essentially the MS722 with buttons and LCD display arranged differently. The wired...

Pros: Compact, fun to use
Cons: Busy layout

I bought the Sharp MD-MS722 minidisc recorder/player and I must say that I am very satisfied. I wanted to download MP3 files from the internet, and transfer them to my minidisc. The cord provided with the minidisc is RCA type, while my computer output...

Pros: convenience,
Cons: Lack of musical quality

This is my first experience with MD technology, and thus I cannot
compare this product with other MD players. Based on the fact that
this product is highly recommended, I may assume that it represents
the current status of MD...

Pros: everything
Cons: none

Let me start by saying that the whole MD idea was brilliant. From my experience so far, I now think of CD's as "low class" and original. What you'll get from Minidisc technology is a customizable audio player half the size of a CD! Many more...

Pros: Very portable, easy to use, great sound quality
Cons: Output could use a tune-up, there are smaller models available

I love music, let's get that out of the way right now. Until I had purchased my minidisc player, I never left my house without my walkman (of course now I don't leave without my MD). I have shoeboxes full of tapes, some on the verge of disintegration....

Pros: Price, cool design (in my opinion)
Cons: weight, thickness

I bought this product about 2 months ago because I wanted a portable music device. First of all, I didn't want a CD Player because it's too bulky and carrying extra CD's are a pain. I already have a cassette player and, as everyone knows, it's heavy and...

Pros: Great exterior design.
Cons: Won't last!

I wrote a review here a couple of years ago extolling the virtues of this device, but now find myself on the other side of the fence. Recently it developed a defect outside of the regular wear and tear that units like these experience. After doing some...

Pros: Cheaper cause its a little old, small, feature packed, cool style, durable, long batt life with included LiIon
Cons: very little output power at headphone jack, auxillary batt pack is rather shoddy, no copper-based digital input, only optical, expensive when compared to the similar Sharp MS-702 after the current mail in rebate deal.

When I was in the market for a portable MD recorder, the two main choices that stood out for me were the Sharp MS-702 or MS-722 and the Sony MZ-R50. The MZ-R55 had not been released in the US yet. This is an excellent recorder. It has digital input...
