Absolutly wonderful item!

Pros Great quality, long battery life, cheap media
Cons None that I can think of!
Recommended it? Yes

You cannot go wrong with this thing! It has a long battery life, plays gorgeous quality music, and the media is dirt cheap! You can buy the disks themselves for around $2.00 each and they all hold as much as a normal CD. I have personally dropped mine a few times and it is still working fine, so it... Read full review »

Pros Can change disc, unlike MP3 Player
Cons Need to name all the tracks
Recommended it? No

I bought my 702 when I was going to Hong Kong and haven't had any problems yet in the last few months. MD is an awesome format. I record music from MP3's onto MD. I debated between a MP3 player and a MD player for about a month. Finally I got both, but I quickly sold my MP3 player. The main thing... Read full review »

VERY POOR EJECT!!!!!!!!!

byright Jan 26, 2000

Pros Good looking
Cons Eject doesn't function properly after about a year for me.
Recommended it? Yes

I have recently sold the MD-MS702. The operation is okay but after about a year of regular operation, the eject might fail. The lever won't pull down and you won't be able to get your MD out. One way that I figured out how to get the MD out is by pressing the record button and then take eject. This... Read full review »

Great Minidisc Device.. Super Bargain!

Pros Excellent Price, Durable, Great Sound Quality, On-the-fly level set
Cons Thicker than other minidisc portable devices
Recommended it? Yes

For someone that won't stand for the quality of a cassette portable and would like to record live events, the Sharp MD-MS702 is a very affordable, functionally powerful recording device that will give them a fair chance of getting into the portable recording hobby.

Last June I had planned... Read full review »

Sharp's MD-MS702 falls apart at the seams

bylpret Dec 28, 2000
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It plays MiniDiscs, It comes with a decent set of headphones
Cons Poor layout, Low-quality design
Recommended it? No

I was looking for a portable music device and I couldn't decide on either an MP3 player or a CDplayer. When I traveled to Japan I saw all these people with minidisc players and I fell in love. I hurried home and bought this Sharp and was amazed by it's snazzy look. However, that's about as far as... Read full review »

Good machine

Pros Fully adjustable recording levels
Cons Twiddly menu-driven editing
Recommended it? Yes

As a professional classical musician, decent recording equipment is essential. I have used this unit to record anything from lessons and rehearsals to demos, and it has consistently performed well since I bought it 2 years ago.

I chose this unit over the Sony models on offer because it... Read full review »

Great Unit if You're Lucky--and I was!

byAlatar Jul 22, 2001
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great sound, slot-in loading, pretty easy to use
Cons Rather large and heavy, risk of UTOC error if you're unlucky with it
Recommended it? Yes

The Sharp MD-MS702MK portable minidisc recorder provokes strong reaction from the MD user community. For some, it symbolizes the worst in Sharp MD recorder design, due to the unforgiveably high number of UTOC errors that have prematurely ended the lives of many 702s. For others, and I'm lucky to be... Read full review »

This Thing Sucks

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros good sound quality while it lasted, lit remote, headphones are pretty nice
Cons broke in 4 months, big, heavy, no belt clip, cheap screws fall out on their own, price,...
Recommended it? No

Well i bought this MD because of both the price and the look. Well looks can be decieving, because this minidisc has been the biggest waste of cash i've ever spent. I bought it back in May of 2000, with the money i got for my birthday (also in May). I was interested in a MD player ever since my... Read full review »

The Future is Here

Pros Size, Rewriteable, inexspensive
Cons slow recording, track handling
Recommended it? Yes

The Sharp MiniDisc gives you great audio quality and makes it easy to record MP3s by using digital or analogue recording. Please note that MP3s are not stored as MP3s on your MiniDisc, but as ordinary audio tracks. A MiniDisc records in real-time, so it's slower than MP3-based devices. If you want... Read full review »

It is impossible to go wrong with the 702. Small, durable, long battery life, and inexpensive!

bykillerinstinct Jul 18, 1999

Pros Low cost, ease of use, included accessories
Cons Size/weight, battery life
Recommended it? Yes

With Minidisc being re-released in 1998 after five years of dismal sales, it may quite possibly be the fastest growing electronic market.

Sharp, one of Sony's closest competetors, makes a whole line of portable md recorder/players. Starting with the 701 and 702, then progressing to the... Read full review »
