I've had this recorder for over a year & use it every week. I use it to record chorus & voice rehearsals& it works great. I always use the stereo mic that was supplied with the unit. I used 2 separate recorderes to record one of my voice lessons & this one worked just as well as my larger, more expensive cassette recorder. For non-professional use, this little recorder is great.

It's clumsy, cumbersome, not great quality, and a bad idea. In addition to that, mine will no longer work after very limited use. Wish I could get my money back.

I've been wanting one of these for years. It is so very handy as I can take it with me to any room or to my vehicle, as we only have a CD player in it. I listen to a lot of tapes and my regular tape deck just wasn't cutting it. Thank you for still carrying a tape player that I don't have to wear head phones to!

I exchange audio letters with friends, and this stereo recorder was purchased after my Sony 100 DVS died and no replacement parts were available. The sound quality is perfectly fine, though it does not pick up ambient sounds nearly as well as the old high-end machine. It comes with a stereo microphone, but it would be great if the microphone were attached to the unit -- as it is, there is a long clip-on cord. This makes it tough to do "off-the-cuff" recording. Overall, a good value for the money. The other machine cost nearly $300.

The little recorder/player comes with a mic and headphones. I bought it to transfer a lot of old tapes onto my computer. It does not have any professional features like precision editing, but it does have a nice variable speed control for playback, which is helpful to compensate some of the old tapes that were recorded off-speed.

great cassette player/ recorder but to expensive for me why are people charging over 100 dollars it should only be 50 or 80 so i doubt i'll b eordering this one for a while. Thats the only reason why i give it four stars but its performance gets an A+
