I bought this for my mom, the Christmas before last. She's really into ghost hunting. I've also done a good bit of EVP work with it. My findings were a little hard to hear, you could really only hear it afterwards when i uploaded it and listened with headphones. but this Christmas I bought her an external mic for it, so i'm hoping that helps. It definitely picks up very good. I even recorded my singing with it to use on my songs. I like how its very easy to use and it's even an mp3 player!

This is a great recorder. Trying to assist 160 individuals and keep them happy with gear and equipment can be tough. With this recorder there is no need to worry about losing cables because USB connection is built in and the quick release allows you to download fast and efficiently. The recording is excellent (very sharp and clear). Simple button operation. Preferred over more expensive units I have purchased. Thanks!

I'm a hypnotist/hypnotherapist, and I already owned a model WS-300 that I use for making CD's for my clients and recording sessions. I thought it was great, so I ordered this as a Christmas gift for a friend. Of course I opened it to check it out. The 300 has about 9 hours of HQ recording time and the WS-321M has much more. I liked the fact that the controls were a little easier to use, so I ordered another one for myself. The built in mic is OK for recording, but you'll get much more professional recordings using a plug in mic. I use a tie clip mono mic with a stereo adapter and the sound quality is GREAT. You can buy a stereo mic but at a hight cost.
Great product but prices vary widely. The first was around $58.00 and a week later that one was about $62.00, but I saw them as high as $139.00, shop around for the best price. All in all, its a great product with great sound quality and ease of use. You may also want to check my review of the WS-300.
