My review of the MZ-R55

by nerys71 , Jun 05 '01
Pros: Very Small and sleek - backlit LCD
Cons: Not as easy to use and LOUSY battery performance
I had and loved the MZ-R50 - but upon it breaking down after 2 years of venerable service under my abusive hands (it stopped recording) best buy deemed it unrepairable and gave me this one.

At first I was impressed - It was about 2/3's the...

Dont BUY this sony product i repeat do not buy this product!!!

by neilsahgal , May 04 '01
Pros: Small, lots of inputs and outputs, functionality of remote.
Cons: Battery/Charger defect, headphones, bad customer service
I've had the MZ-R55 for about 18 months now and used it a lot. I'm reasonably happy with it but:

1) Either the battery (30$) or the charger has faded and the unit switches off sometimes after less than 10 minutes play. This appears to be a...

Pocket size digital sound!

by acuratl , Apr 30 '01
Pros: Ease of use. Portable. Innovative design.
Cons: Battery life.
I never believed in Minidisc format until I bought one. I love how I can put the whole player in my pocket on my walks and/or during exercising and listening to digital sound. It is VERY compact and the unit is built very well.

With newer MD's this one is crappy

by drew6652 , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Sleek, Lightweight, skip free and easy to use;I Dont use instrunction guide.
Cons: Battery Life is fair,picked up another for less than $20 so i'll have a spare
I bought the mz-r55 about 6 months ago and at the time it was one of the best, but now it just plain sucks. Ive discovered many more cons about the item. You can not get really loud volume with it, and the buffer keeps going off at random time and...

IT NEVER SKIPS, IT'S DIGITAL , VERY SMALL & RECORDS !!!

by Segrin , Dec 05 '00
Pros: IT NEVER SKIPS!!! SMALLER than CD. They RECORD.
Cons: SONY unit's tend to COST ALOT.
This review is very fun, and well worth reading.
When MiniDiscs came out years ago, before recordable CD, I KNEW that THIS was the format for me. Okay, so for years I cherished my cassette tapes, and when CD's came out, I absolutely HATED them....

Pros: Sleek design, great controls, easy managements
Cons: rechargeable battery is a bit short
At first I was with my mp3 player, then my friend bought a MD player for me to listen to and I was amazed by the powerful sounds it produced so I went out to look for one. I found the MZ-R55 and was amazed at the great sleek design it had and the...

:/ Great But The Battery!

by UCturboBoii , Nov 13 '00
Pros: Small Size & "Package Deal"
Cons: Very Short Battery Life
Don't let the size of the MZR-55 captivate your thoughts as a " trustful " MD player. The good side of this MD-player is first of all, is its size. Second, the included stick controller have backlit, unlike the MZR-50. Its sound is the same as...

by DJBLUEFIRE , Oct 09 '00
Pros: It's nice and small!

This is porbably the best MD player to get right now because of it's lower price compared to some of the newer models. I have owned the R-55 for about a year now and I still love the thing! When I first got it, I was amazed at the size of the thing! It...

What's with all the hoopla on this device?

by blue_energy , Sep 10 '00
Pros: small
Cons: short battery life, short recorder life
The MZ-R55 has stopped me from buying anymore Sony electronics. It has got to be one of the worst electronics I bought in my life.

I purchased my MZ-R55 in Japan when it first came out, and was quite happy with it. But that happiness lasted...
