1.0 out of 5 stars
For recording super loud people only, October 22, 2005
This review is from: Oregon Scientific VR-399 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link (Office Product)
I got the recorder from J&R through Amazon yesterday. The quality of the recording is unacceptable. During conference recording, I cannot even hear what each person was talking about, even though all people were talking normally within a few feet from the recorder (with MIC sensitivity set to high).
The battery indicator shows that only half of it power is left after one day's use.
I have just returned it today. I have to pay the shipping both ways. J&R consider my return as a "Return of Choice", even though I told them that it is in fact a defective item (the noise made by the recorder itself is so loud that you can hardly hear the people's talking). Not recommended.

Waste of money, November 15, 2005
This review is from: Oregon Scientific VR-399 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link (Office Product)
I bought this with the idea of having a portable reminder list. It is useless because it absolutely eats batteries. The instructions say to remove the batteries if you are not going to be using it for a week. This is because two AAA batteries only last about a week. I would carry it in my purse and everytime I reached for it--the batteries were dead.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good features, acceptable sound quality..., October 24, 2005
This review is from: Oregon Scientific VR-399 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link (Office Product)
I bought this a couple days ago. It's small,convenient and has a large range of volume.
The only problem is its sound quality. I used it to record myself playing Harmonica. It doesn't sound real. I tried with different angles, but the sound remains too sharp.
Overall, it's too cheap to complain. It does worth the price.
If you're poor as I am, this may be your choice. If you want good sound quality, buy a more expensive one.
