    I used this recorder for class lectures. Worked great! I was worried it wouldn't catch from the mid back of the room, but it did. Good sound quality. It doesn't have to connect to a computer. Just record and listen on the device.

    Perfect for taking notes during class when you don't have time to right them down. Also great for road trips to take down ideas when you can't right them down!!

    BX Sony recorder review

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The voice recorder is well built but quite small and difficult to manage when you might be busy with the other hand. Sound is acceptable and recording storage is above average. Reengaging the start button is cumbersome. In contrast to an old Sony with similar features but running on tape, this BX series would not be as user friendly.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Slick, small and a success. Was able to capture the voice of the public speaker who sat 7 feet away from me. Wished I bought this a long time ago.

    The Sony digital voice recorder is extremely simple to use. I bought it specifically to use for an interview that I had to record for a school assignment. I bought the voice recorder and was recording my interview 20 minutes later.

    I purchased this to record lessons in college due to some instructures not wanting phones out during lectures. This thing is great. It picks up sounds very nicely and minimizes background sounds. In fact my BF got one as well.

    My Olympus digital recorder needs an external speaker to get the proper volume but the range of volume with my Sony is always loud enough.

    Recorder was great for my fiancé. She had voicemails from her sick father and wanted to back them up. She did so with the ease of use this recorder provided. That in turn gave her peace to save her dad’s voice.

    This recording device is very helpful for those who are in school. I am able to record my lectures and review them at a later time. This has very simple features and they are easy to navigate. Also, this was worth it for the cost.
