Review: Sharp MD-MT821


Mp3 vs MiniDisc:

I decided that my CD player was no good. It was only $40, it was from a no name company, and it scratched all my CD's as it played them. The CD player ate a fully charged...

Pros: Great sound quality, small size, lots of features
Cons: Can't title discs/tracks during recording/playback

Okay, okay, so I got a great deal on my Sharp MD-MT821 when I bought it second hand from a Japanese friend. That does not in any way diminish my regard for this little machine. It's a ton of fun and if you stop reading this review right here, just know...

Pros: Small, tough, EZ to use, Long Battery, Great Features
Cons: Slippery to hold on to without strap, high price

I am an airline pilot. I bought this to use for workouts, jogging, skiing, traveling, rollerblading, cycling. I'd use it to play golf if they'd let me. I spent the additional money to buy a recordable one because I switched all of my car stereos to...

Pros: Ease, Sound, features
Cons: no titling while recording

I was looking for something to allow me to listen to the multitude of MP3s stored on my Server without sitting in front of my PC, or the home stereo.

Right now there are 3 choices:
MP3 player i.e. Rio or Nomad II
CD/MP3 player i.e....

Pros: Versatility, compact size, sound quality
Cons: High price

This Sharp product surprised me. The quality and sound on the unit are incredible. It's portable. I produce hip-hop music and the Sharp does wonders for me. Say I want to sample something I hear on TV in a movie. I simply hook into the audio RCA's on the...

Pros: size, quality, sound
Cons: absolutely none yet

I was in the market for a new portable audio device to help provide the necessary tempo for workouts, jogs, and relaxation, I found a very reliable one in the Sharp MD player.

Remember the pioneer days of MD, you had to buy the recorder,...

Pros: tiny, virtually skip-proof, looks really good, high quality
Cons: I guess it's pretty expensive. well priced compared to mp3 players though

My uncle bought me the MT821 in Taiwan for $250. I had asked him to get that model because my friend had it and I really liked it. Also, the Sonys tend to be a bit too expensive, and some of them are just plain ugly. Well, when my uncle said that he...

Pros: light-weight, user-friendly, durable, stylish, perfect size
Cons: expensive, no clip

The Sharp MD MT821 is a wonderful alternative to portable CD players with the distinct advantages of being much smaller, more durable, and capable of recording. It is great for making mixes for working out, parties, etc. It plugs into any stereo system...

Pros: durable, size, battery life
Cons: cheap printed graphics rub off!

I got this MD player (looks the same as the picture) August 00' after a vacation to Hong Kong, so I brought back a Japanese Spec version. Even without instructions I figured out how to work this thing. I'm not that tech savvy, so I think Sharp created a...

Pros: great for recording from the computer
Cons: expensive in the US? discs are expensive

i got this MD player as a gift, in Hong Kong. It was nowhere near as expensive as its listed here.

I'll tell you what I use this for. I hook it up to my computer and I use it to record my MP3s. I can get about 20 songs onto a disc. They...

Pros: Small size
Cons: title input

I have a massive Mp3 collection that up until now could only be played through my computer (a HP with cheap speakers). I wanted to listen to my mp3s while away from my computer so I decided upon MD over MP3 players because right now mp3 players are...

Pros: great quality sound
Cons: the md player broke and would not play music

The Sharp MT-821 was a great purchase for me at first it thought i got a great product. Well i was surprised it broke after 9 months. Then Sharp gave me a hard time and was gonna make me pay $90 to fix it. They gave me no help at all and were charging...

Pros: ez to use
Cons: pricey

Sharp MDMT821 Ultra-Thin Minidisc Player/Recorder is VERY NICE! I have had mine for 5 months now, I dont know what I would do with out it. I got it in England, so I got the nice little bud headphones ;D I just love hooking it up to my computer and...

Pros: Good sound, small in size, long battery life.
Cons: Should come in more colors

I just bought this MD, Oh I love it. Everything is good, from sound, to the looks, the style, the features. I price is pretty high, but worth every penny.The earphone are very high quality, unlike the cheap Sony ones that comes with their MD. The...

Pros: size, looks, sound quality, remote, easy to use, price
Cons: titling, labels av worn off

I have 3 minidisc players/recorders, the Sony r55, the sharp 821, and 2 others including a new sony mdlp net md recorder. The oldest out of the 4, the sharp 821, is the best by far. its the nicest looking, most solid, and one of the smallest. and its 5 ...
