Review: I've had this Sony MZ-N707 Silver Net MiniDisc Walkman for about a week now and tried to get a decent opinion on it before writing a review. Battery life is hard to evaluate. 56 hours? maybe. i've been using the rechargable battery which came with the player and i'd give it around 20 hours. The charging bay is a really nice touch. nothing horribly complex but extremely useful and has a very sleek design. The MZ-N707 feels pretty robust, but haven't and hopefully won't test it to much. it doesn't skip at all, which is one of the great wonders of minidisc. its so much smaller than a discman. it's the ideal portable solution. besides, with sony claiming a minidisc takes up to 320 minutes of music, it is the ultimate portable medium. cheap and plentiful storage (minidiscs are much much cheaper than the kind of mediums used on mp3 players), portable, good battery life, good connectivity with the pc (although you'll take some time getting used to the software). perfect? depends what you're looking for. It all comes down to sound quality. Putting 320 minutes of music onto on minidisc makes you lose some quality. Most people don't notice. But some songs you will. Some riffs do sound a little different on LP4 (lowest quality). If, like me, you feel absolute bliss in being able to fit 3 radiohead albuns and a complete concert of their's onto one minidisc, you'll hardly care. If not, don't worry. But don't expect filing a minidisc with 320 minutes of cd quality music. And if you're looking for an mp3 player..don't. This is as good as it gets in that regard |
