Also you do have to crank up the volume to get good sound if your using it as a walkman.

if you're prepared for that, then you can listen to your music with an excellent sound quality anytime

When you hook up the MZ-R55 to your hifi, the sound comes out a lot softer than other music sources.

I like it because I can hook it up to my home stereo,and also play it in my car (with cassett adapter) and its got great sound.

The sound is great at home with my Sennheiser 540 over the ear headphones, and it can play through a sound system

They're virtualy indestructable, and you get surprisingly good sound quality.

spoilt whiners, have they forgotten that only a few short years ago the best portable sound quality was from a cd-player the size of their head?

I've recorded over 80 disc, and just about all of them have excellent quality.

It has great sound quality and the features are top notch

However the coolest feature I found was the microphone.

That said, however, I was absolutely delighted with the sound, as well as the features.

Tiny, tiny recorder/player with excellent battery life and great features.

It has a neat remote control with a nice backlit LCD screen.

i love the remote control

The size is wonderful, if you have had one of the larger players, you just won't believe the size of this

i love it size

Great package, great price...

If you can find it at a reasonable price, go ahead and get it.

It works better than the MZ-R70, for it's faster when skipping tracks, and it runs the TOC EDIT faster than my other model, which is an MZ-R50 silver model

I think that 4 hours of battery life is halfway decent if not acceptable

What I mean, is that 4 hours is fine by me

Let me tell you...the bass in the collapsible headphones is outstanding

These headphones sport the best digital bass that I have ever heard

Life would be easier if you could type them in from a computer

Tiny, tiny recorder/player with excellent battery life and great features.

Recording music from my turntable I can now enjoy where ever I go .This fits my style better than cassettes or cd's

Re sony MZ R55 portable Mini

This player is pretty good

So many people are bad-mouthing mini-disk players these days because of the battery life and size

At the time that I bought this, it was the top of the range portable MD player, and you could tell by the price!

In my opinion this is the best player out.

Ifyou want a better MD player made by Sony, wait for the MZ-R90 or the MZ-R91.

Normal MD's are basically a novelty whose charm wears off the second you try to actually record one.

Size isn't everything - I'd much rather have a bulky MD that plays and plays, rather than a tiny toy who's battery won't last a 2 hour car journey.
