    I own multiple voice recorders, but unfortunately had lent them to a friend for a project when I needed one myself. In a pinch, I went to Best Buy and found this model. Don't be turned off by it's simplistic style, or lack of bells and whistles. This recorder performed as well, if not better, than my other, more expensive recorders. My only con-and this just could be an education for me, is that when listening to recordings, I haven't figured out how to rewind to a certain point-instead it takes me back to the beginning. Not good for lengthy recordings. Otherwise, thumbs up on value, price and quality!

    The Sony digital voice is an excellent product. It is very easy to operate, and the quality of the sound is excellent. Also, the price made the product just that much better.

    It's really good recording! It records clearly... only downside to me is you can't charge it, need to put in batteries which doesn't last long.

    Has great sound, but battery life is fair. Had one like this before but lost the device. Great playback sound choices. Never disappointed except for battery life. Might try lithium batteries next time for device when battery is empty.

Not only that i can use it any where. Its small sleek design makes it a perfect match. Thank you Best Buy Ms India M
