Sony MZ-E630

Juniper Foo | Sep 10, 2004

More fruit loop eye candy as Sony's upcoming MiniDisc takes its cue from its hard drive-based MP3 cousins, the iPod Mini and Muvo² FM, offering a choice of six pastel shades. What's more eye-catching are the Etymotic-inspired earbuds which aren't your standard fare on portable audio players, designed to plug into your ear to block out ambient noise. The MZ-E630 is one of the first two non high-density MD players released by the Japanese Sony after the initial 1GB Hi-MD release which had yon dying breed of MiniDisc owners whooping with glee. However, it's our opinion that it'll take more than a pastel palette to convince the MP3 crowd to switch camps.
