Mz-n10,Mz-n910 or ? I want a rock solid player that'll last

[Guest Anonymous]

My mother is going to Hong Kong in July and i'm thinking of ordering a md recorder, i am not seriously into live recording but i want it, i am going to build my own stereo mic from schematics, i dont wanna empty all of my pocket in this but i want a player that i can use for a real long time. I dont care if it has fm or not. I was wondering if the 100$ price difference between the rest of the models are worth it, i want a good remote too and good battery life, i am going to jog with it probably with a caselogic armband case, and i want it in my pocket for school so i need a durable one. Can you guys help, this is kinda urgent.

Battery change doesn't matter i can change it as it says in the handbook

the mz-n10 and mz-n910 are both top of the range models with good remotes and very good battery life. the n10 has an internal Li-ion battery while the n910 uses the more convention NiMH 'gumstick' battery. That's pretty much the only difference between the models. IMHO these units are not rock solid players that will last esp. if you intend to go jogging with them. my experience has been they last roughly 3-4 years before something goes wrong and they give up the ghost and die (which is pretty acceptable to most people as by then a unit upgrade is warranted).

if you're a bit more budget concious, you should consider the n707 or n710 which have many (but not all) of the top model features. they also don't have the extra snazzy remote of the n10 but should be backlit (i think only the north american model of the n707 doesn't have a backlit remote).

hope this helps.

Im gonna jog only once a week or twice perhaps and not for long, about 30 mins. which one is better N10 or N910 ? N10 is full metal isn't that good? and jog dial and everything tho i dont know if im gonna touch the player when i have the remote

ok, it seems like your heart is set on either the n910 or the n10.

IMHO I would choose the cheaper of the two units because to me they are virtually the same.

n910 - aluminium body

n10 - magnesuim body

the difference, no idea, magnesium a harder metal?

if you want to look into the minute details of the differences between the 2 units, go to any good minidisc page like minidisc.org or minidisc t-station and look up the 2 units.
