This recorder is really good in terms of easy to use and extremely portable(good for travel). I use this to record meetings and lectures and it works great. You get what you pay for. Pricing is ok, wish it was a little cheaper, but this is a good quality product. One thing I wish could be better is the storage. I maxed it out once, and didn't realize I had done so until I went to turn my recorder off. Storage is a little small, but overall recording and sound quality is great.

This is my first digital recorder, besides my smartphone recorder, and I am so happy with my purchase! It is easy to set-up and use for the day to day recordings. The more in depth functions I am not so sure how to use, but I am not interested in that - yet. The recordings are clear and static free so they are wonderful to create CD's for clients and perform podcasts' for an online use.

**there is a button to reduce background noise, but I haven't figured it out completely yet. I use it in class. It picks up the speaker really well. I can upload the files to my laptop, store them there and listen later if I like. The battery life has been really good so far. The only thing I don't like about it is that it beeps every time a button is pushed, whether I am picking a file to record in or pushing the record button. It is a quiet beep, but in a quiet classroom you can hear it quite well.

Wow! The Best sound playback of any digi audio recorder I've owned. Used mostly for business conference meetings in large auditoriums, or convention centers. The auto noice cancelling and selectable recording modes are great! Lighted buttons, for record and stop, are great in dimmly lit environments
