Another excellent product by Sony these minidiscs are truly top quality. Minidiscs are a very affordable media and these minidiscs go to show that cheap prices don't mean poor sound quality- that is not true; with cd quality sound in normal recording and only a slight difference with the longer recording modes lp2 and lp4. If you were thinking that there is no difference between Sony minidiscs and other brands then think again- the Sony's don't skip a beat, however active you are! These minidiscs are top quality and you will not switch to another brand after you've heard these wonders perform! With a built in shock absorbing mechanism these certainly appeal. The only downside is that there are two versions of minidiscs made by Sony- the 74 minute ones and the 80 minute ones. While you think there is hardly any difference between these two the 6 minute difference in normal recording equates to a 30 minute difference in long play mode. So if you have to squeeze in that extra half an hour choose those but if your happy with these then don't hesitate to buy. To sum-up:
1)Brilliant sound quality in normal recording that only very slightly deteriorates with the longer recording modes.
2)Built in shock absorbing mechanism-they never skip a beat!
3)Excellent build quality as you would expect from Sony, a sturdy case is supplied for each minidisc.
And finally these minidiscs are color-coded so no more wasting time searching through each minidisc searching for that favourite track if you're too lazy to label-you'll soon be able to refer to your music quickly by color!
Go on, get them.
