    Nearly perfect - for me. Olympus has always been my go to brand. Fits in pocket, holds a charge a really long time and charges quickly when it finally does need one. Has many features, more than I need. But, nice to know they’re available. The downside for me is that with my declining hearing, I can’t always hear the replay unless I’m in a quiet environment. Highly recommended for 95% of the population.

    Forced to convert from mini cassette tape recorder to digital. Wasn't sure about quality or storing audio but the recorder is super easy to use and the recording quality is superior to my old recorder.

    The buttons are clear and very user-friendly. The volume, even when turned all the way up, is way too low for anyone to comfortably hear, even when using a headset or external speakers. I have tried different scene settings as well (meetings, conference rooms etc....), to enhance the volume, but it did not help.

    Took me a little while to feel comfortable with the device since the user manual is not very intuitive. Recharging is very easy and files can easily be download to one’s computer. It’s compact and is very versatile.

    So far, all of my recordings have been crisp and clear. The playback through the built-in speaker is sufficient, but I prefer using headphones. Love the rechargeable batteries.

    I tried a different unit and I had to return it because the buttons were too close together. However, this one the buttons are just right. I know this is more like the old style, but it works well for me.

    Love this recorder. Nothing beats stereo recording and the expandability of storage is great too. No cables or dongles required when connecting to a computer, just slide button on the back up and a USB connector emerges. I think USB 2.0. Works great with a Mac. Only issue I encountered was the included batteries dying. They probably needed more charge, but indicator showed full. I swapped out for alkaline batteries and haven't had an issue yet, still working on them going on 6 months.
