I've own just about every Sony personal voice recorder ever made. Not kidding. Have worked as a news reporter for 40 years. This latest update of their mid-range cost-wise personal voice recorder is excellent. This model differs in a significant way from its predecessor, ICD-UX560.
Sony has taken the easy search function and gave it their own buttons on the front of the recorder. This is new and it's big. The -3 and +10 buttons. Perfect. This greatly improves the ability to transcribe (without uploading) right off the device itself. That's a great capability and a useful one.
The UX570 is the same size as the UX560, but Sony made a few subtle design changes to make room for this row of buttons.
In terms of recording quality, it seems on par if not better than prior models. The software interface, which has been easy to work with all along, seems the same.
Sony got this unit right.
A lot of reporters today use their cell phone to record, and that's fine, but I still like specialized voice recorders because (1) way more storage (2) better microphones (3) you can connect external mics. (4). With the USB, you can upload file to PC in a jiffy. And even if you are using your phone as a primary recorder, you still want the backup.

Excellent option for GoPro external audio recording.
By Cinematic Joe on January 30, 2020
As title indicates, I am employing Sony UX570 to supplement/replace audio from a GoPro Hero 7; most often used with an external mic - (omni-directional, lavaliere w/windscreen). The sound is very crisp and clear. Exceptionally long battery life; very easy and rapid re-charge from a small power bank. Transfer of files to computer from retractable USB dongle and built-in logical file system is fast and simple. Could double as digital music playback source (using wired audio buds/phones); easily hot swap SD cards - (either SDHC or SDXC). Truly compact size - 4”x1.5”x.5”. From Amazon, did not come with soft case Sony and other retailers include, for same price. Additional note using external mic: Recorder input is TRS type. A TRRS mic requires a (simple/inexpensive) adapter.
