I'm at a loss for words. I was aiming for a digital voice recorder, but after checking a few price tags and reading the reviews for this one, I decided to go analog.

These are my two cents: Amazing. I use it mainly for classroom lectures (I find that going through the parts of the lecture I was asleep through *does* help :). I sit at the very back of the classroom (room that fits about 50 people) and I don't use the external mic. I just press the record button and leave the recorder next to me. I use the so-called _low quality_ setting (slow tape) to extend the recording time on my tapes, and this recorder picks up the sound of the chalk on the board as clear as day!

Highly recommended.

I had a digital voice recorder....now I have a Sony microcassette recorder. The Sony is 10 times better. Easy to use, wonderful sound on playback. Excellent value.

WOW! WEE! ........ this is a great recorder what ells can i say..it comes with batteries the recorder tape and a carrying bag...it has SUPER SOUND RECORDING and i mean it ...it has a light that blinks faster or slower to tell you how much sound its recording....the recorder is inexpinsive ...i myself have tryed digital recorders and have had trouble with them....so if you are looking for a good recorder I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND M-657V.......i hope you buy this productso you 2 can be ~~AMAZED~~

THIS ITEM HAS GREAT SOUND QUALITY.IT HAS THE BEST SOUND QUALITY OF ANY OF THE MICROCASSETTE RECORDERS, I HAVE TRIED.THIS PACKAGE OFFERS YOU THE MOST IMPORTANT OPTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED, TO OPERATE EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY.THESE RECORDERS ARE NOT FOR RECORDING MUSIC, BUT FOR RECORDING VOICE.THIS ONE DOES IT EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS UNIT AND IF YOU PURCHASE ONE?? I AM SURE YOU WILL ALSO BE IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this recorder a couple of weeks ago for class lectures at a University. I have been extremely happy with the quality of the product...It comes with an external mic that you can clip to your shirt, or sit on a desk so you can be conspicuous in your recordings. I chose this one over digital ones because I needed to record for long periods of time, and the digital ones seemed to only do that in poor quality modes. I can pick up the Professor's voice crisply and clearly, even on the slow mode. And the VOR option only records when someone is talking...

This is not a review. I just want to know the answer to my question. You advertise this cassette recorder as a M-657V, the model I want, yet when the picture of the unit is enlarged, it shows an M-650V.
What gives?
