Sharp MDMS702 Personal Minidisc Player/Recorder

I love this thing. This was the very first mini disk player I ever bought. I love these head phones, the sound is by far the best I have ever came across. If I lost these I would go mad, I use them with almost everything I own, they are amazing.

The only thing I hate about this thing is the transferring of songs. I hope newer models will have a USB port on them. Naming the songs was also a pain.

But, I love this player and will gladly buy from them again.

I have had this for 5 years and used if somewhat but never abused it. I always kept it in a zip around pouch from Sony and the player works awesome. I have had the charger not work and the charge on the batteries were slow but overall the design is leek and awesome with great features. Its worth it but I have retired from minidisc players as my mp3 player has taken over my music life. Its wonderful to record anytype of audio books, music,record cd, mp3, etc...
Its not a flimsy design. Its sturdy and a bit heavy but you can feel how well built this player is. You will appreciate the features of this player. Best Sony minidisc player/recorder.

My first minidisc player is the only portable I've ever bought. No skips while jogging and I can edit discs on the fly after I've recorded them from a CD player using the optical input cable.

My only star??......The MD looks. It's nice...really nice...If you buy it, the player looks will be the most important item, as in no time -and I mean NO TIME-, when this little-nice & cute device stops recording/editing and dies..."UTOC ERROR, a famous one"...you will have it as a shelf-decoration. Go for a Sony, or you'll regret it.

I bought one of these in 98 and there are 2 reasons I didn't give it 5 stars is that the battery life stunk...(they may have fixed this on later models)and it dosent have a record button on the remote. I just upgraded to the sharp MT877 which has much better D/A and A/D(digital to analogue, analogue to digital)converters. This is a good thing for quality of reproduction but it also makes it more susceptible to clipping, so in other words you can push the 702 a little harder.
