Waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is about as close to garbage in a package as can possibly be. I had a Panasonic mini cassette recorder from the 90's that ate tapes all the time than I am nostalgic for because of this garbage. The sound quality is... garbage.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

don't buy this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it thinking this is a wonderful voice recorder but when I opened it i realized this doesn't have a storage card and only has a tiny speaker. I am wondering why on earth bbuy is selling such a product in 2016/17. The technology is obsolete and it has no value in the face of digital recording.
