Good quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning this item because I no longer needed a voice recorder for a particular matter. But I tested it and used it a little bit to make sure everything worked and it was very clear sounding and loud. Easy to maneuver with delete and rewind, etc. I would repurchase if I need it in the future.

Great Little Recorder
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use item for a 91+ user. No longer has use of right arm to write so this keeps all ideas and need to do list handy.

Worth every penny.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned two digital voice recorders in the past and this Sony is by far the best of the three. The microphone sensitivity is way above par and the playback quality is excellent. My expectations were exceeded.

records well but can't transfer recordings to a PC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy because it doesn't transfer files to a PC, that's why I would not recommend it. It's 2015. It's not hard or costly to add this feature.

Temporary Recording
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only giving 3 stars because I wasn't aware that you cannot save the audio file of your recordings! But the voice is very loud and clear and crisp to the ear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Sound qualityCons mentioned:File transfer
disappointed that recorded files not transferable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In today's day and age where technology is so advanced, I cannot believe that what I recorded cannot be transferred to another device, in particular my computer. I'm such a fool to assume that anything digital can be saved. I was looking forward to merge the recordings with the slide show I'm making into a movie. The recorder is good and sounds good but can only be used by itself. I wished they had stated in the front of the package and in the quick guide that files are not transferable. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to transfer files.

Junk
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How can you make a voice recorder with no means to transfer the files to anything else? This thing is totally useless. Buy the $50 model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Happy at first, not so much 3 months later
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recording is BAD/ fuzzy. NOT happy with it now!!!!

Posted .Hi Karkol, thanks for your review. We apologize for the disappointment this has caused you. A buzzing or humming noise may be recorded if the IC recorder is placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp, or a mobile phone during recording or
playback. Keep the IC recorder away from such equipment when recording. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Regards, Dave
Worthless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not understand how, in the 21st century, Sony is still selling recorders without USB and that need AAA batteries. I did not read the specification on this recorder before buying it because I never imagined that any brand still sells electronic devices without USB. It is not possible to transfer files to the computer. This recorder is worthless and expensive at the same time. Unfortunately, my sister was the one to receive it for me and return date passed.
