Review: I'm one of those that "dredge" the internet for all possible information on anything I'm looking at purchasing. After a decision to go HiMD - I've been playing around with MD's since they came out - I looked at the latest players from Sony and noticed this little "jewel" of an MD player sitting in the back shelves of most hifi stores. On futher investigation I fell in "lust" for this unit! I've had the unit for about two weeks and have to say I am very happy with it. I won't go into the technical stuff as you have probably been through it all already. The feel and quality is top-notch, I have and still own quite a few pieces of Sony quipment from MDs, to digicams, to CD player, to micro systems, to camcorders - but the quality of this is absolutely FANTASTIC! It feels solid and everything works like you would expect. The remote is staggeringly simple to use and "hides" all the functionality for a powerful device in a friendly user way. This unit is head and shoulders above anything else out there - ok, we have different opinions - even the latest HiMD units from Sony. You can record with it with an external mic - my second reason for going with a HiMD - and you have so many options on the quality of your recordings - upto CD quality recordings. The lithium ion battery lasts and lasts and if needed you can buy another one for long trips you can swap them out. With the HiMD, I have squeezed in about 40 CDs on the one disk and the sound quality is very good - even at the low bitrate. All in all, if you need a very small unit that gives you almost limitless recording options, durable, excellent sound quality and simple to use I strongly recommend this little "jewel" and as some of the readers have already mentioned, at £110 this Sony MZ-NH1 Silver Hi-MiniDisc Walkman is a steal. Happy listening... |
