nice recorder for the price
I ordered this to go ghost hunting. I am new at this so did'nt want to invest alot right now. I am very pleased with this little recorder, it has files to store your recording in and numbered playback so you can go right to something you want to listen to again. I am ordering an external mic for this to get a little more clarity.

Horrible.
I've done three interviews with this recorder, one with an external mic, and the results have been nothing but horrible. Unless I'm speaking with the recorder a few inches from my mouth, it's garbled. If you're recording yourself and are willing to have the recorder in your face, it's fine. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

As the title implies, it is not a $300 recorder but it works wonderful for the price. No regrets

I have been very plesed with my digital voice recorder. For the price, it is a great purchase. I especially like the fact that it's lightweight and small. The sound of the recording is very clear, and it is easy to operate. I would highly recommend it.

I bought this recorder so that I could record lectures of my college classes that were harder. You get like 13 hours of playtime when you record on SP which is the best quality. I made a mistake and recorded on LP once and it sounded bad. I could understand it but there were times that there was too much static that I couldn't. The quality of SP though gives you plenty of recording time and it sounds as if you are in the room still. The overall recorder is small and you can plug headphones into it so you can take it on the go to listen. There isn't a USB port though so you can't plug it into the computer to transfer files but with all the recording time it makes it easier to just keep it on the recorder. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this recorder as my Dr. wants me to do some daily logs and I don't want to carry around a pen and paper all day. So, I did not need a professional type recorder.., but I did need one that would do the following:
1) Be small and compact, fit into my purse.
2) Be easy to use.
3) Playback clearly enough for me to understand.
4) Record several messages, one after the other.
5) Have an hour or more of recording space.
6) Have an option to easily delete any one or more of the messages.
7) Have the ability to listen to a message in the middle without having to hear every message before it. And also be able to play a message over without having to listen to the rest of the messages that were after it. (My voice mail does that and I hate it.)
It does everything on that list. It runs off two AAA batteries. It's so easy to figure out that I didn't even need to open the instructions to figure out how to use it.
I've used it for a few days and I don't see anything negative at this point. It has a "hold" mode so you can save the batteries. It also has a time stamp feature.
If you need to tape long lectures from someone who is far away from the device you should consider buying a more expensive type of recorder.., that's not what this type is designed for. It may work, but if the sound quality you are recording is poor or echoed, and you're using the lower quality recording mode, (for more time), you might have a hard time hearing it when you play it back.

THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE GADGET. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR NEEDS WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL SERVE THE PURPOSE. IT COULD NOT PICK UP THE SOUND THAT I NEEDED TO PICK UP. HOWEVER, IT DOES PICK UP VOICES- FAIRLY CLEARLY. THAT SAID, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO RECORD AND THERE IS ANY OTHER BACKGROUND CONVERSATIONS OR SOUND , IT IS POSSIBLE YOU WON'T RECORD WHAT YOU NEED. IT IS QUALITY MADE, SMALL, AND VERY EASY TO USE.

This recorder is very simple and easy to use. One feature that I would have preferred to have is a way to download the recordings to another storage medium such as a memory card or to the hard drive of my computer. I foolishly assumed that a cable to transfer the data would be included with the recorder.

We bought this for my 9 yo son, who used to record his voice, music, etc. on an old cell phone. He loves this recorder and has already figured out (used) its maximum capacity! The sound quality is tinny, but was to be expected given that we went for a low-cost unit. Easy for him to use on his own.
