Great mid range MD player

Sep 10, 2001 - By Matt Sephton (London, UK)

I bought this play-only unit after my old Sony recordable walkman (MZ-R50) started to die from 5+ years of heavy use. I only wanted a playable walkman and this fitted the bill better than the older and less common models such as the MZ-E75.

The MZ-E500 is well priced, small sized and has all the features and battery life I was after. It supports playback of the recent MDLP standard and comes with a special rechargeable battery and mains charger that you plug the battery into for charging. It can take a AA battery with the additional, screw on case.

Notable features are the excellent stick remote, with the ability to program track order, and it's good button configuration and size/weight.

It would have been nice to be made of metal, but like most walkman units these days the plastic construction easily feels rugged enough for heavy use.
