Perfect recording device!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After several other devices that did not work I was very skeptical about purchasing this one but the rep was very patient in explaining how it worked and the reliability. He assured me if it did not do as promised, I could return it. The true test came less than a week later. The unit worked like a charm and has ever since. Glad I came in to buy it from you guys!

Good recorder for novices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are buying it to simply record lessons/lectures you might be OK. It does not filter out the background noise. You have to make sure It Is fully charged before using It. The most annoying feature about It Is loud enough.

Great Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a small device this has a lot of gret features and options that make it suitable for education, work or personal use. I am using it for the latter application. First, it is easy to use. It doesn't take a long time to figure it out, and it worked well. The sound came out crisp and clear. I didn't hear a lot of background noise. I love that you can put in the simple mode if you just want basic features in an easy to use format. You can use the normal mode for everything.

Great for recording classes & lectures
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This recorder is easy to use and quick to get started. Buttons are clearly labelled. There are 5 folders for storing recordings. The sound quality is very good, even if I am sitting 20 or more feet away from the speaker. It's even better once downloaded to my computer, which is very easy, as there's a built-in USB cable device that pops out to attach to my computer. This is a lifesaver for me, as I have difficulty taking notes, so recording allows me to fully concentrate in class and then go back to the recording if I need to. I had the previous Olympus model of this recorder and it was great, but this one is even better as it has rechargeable lithium batteries (or you can use regular AAA batteries), it's a bit smaller, and it comes with a case.

excellent recorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice features on this stereo recorder. USB charging while you transfer files to the computer, expandable memory, and full-sized plug for transfer of files are good to have. Sound quality is good. MP3 is a convenient format.

Great sound and quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to record lectures. I have the setting to 'conference room' and it works great. Granted you still have good speakers or headphones but you can hear everything really well. The professor is at front and sometimes I have to sit about two rows back. I even recorded one lecture at the back of the classroom. I could hear every word. The batteries (alkaline) lasted about four months with two 3.5 hour long lectures each week. I transferred the lectures to my laptop and played them back that way.
