This is a great recorder. The only down side is the headphone plug is a 2.5 mm instead of 3.5 mm. Which some made into a big deal, but it really isn't. It is very sturdy. It has great sound quality and picks up a lot of sound for being very small. I would recommend it to everyone if they need something simple. Works great and am glad I bought it. Also, the seller shipped very fast. I got it in about 3 business days. I ordered it on a Friday and got it the following Wednesday. I was really surprised. Great experience.

I purchased the S702, and then read that the S701 is identical except for the color. True? Is there any difference in the features, specs, or construction? If not, I was ripped off having spent close to $70 for a recorder that I could get for $25. Any feedback is appreciated.

This microcassette is very user friendly and playback sound quality is crisp and clear. I couldn't be happier. The price is very good.

I got this recorder about 5 years ago. I've been using it less and less since, because I don't have any 2.5mm headphones. I used to have a pair (I don't remember them being included with this unit though), but not anymore. Overall, this is a decent product, but I would recommend looking for a recorder that has a standard 3.5mm jack.

This microcassette recorder might be good for recording purposes, but I am a medical transcriptionist and use a hand-held recorder at times to review my work before sending it back to the physician. I bought this unit a week or so ago to replacee one I had had for years. When I went to use it tonight and went to plug my earphones in, which I had been able to use on my previous hand-held unit, I found that they didn't fit. My earphones have always fit these hand-held units, as well as my desk transcribers. If they changed the connector on the unit to fit different earphones, they should have included earphones in the package. If you are a transcriber and are interested in hearing every detail on the tape, you won't be able to without earphones.
