Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this for recording classes and meetings. It's also great for recording my notes into and listening to them later.

This recorder is really good in terms of easy to use and extremely portable(good for travel). I use this to record meetings and lectures and it works great. You get what you pay for. Pricing is ok, wish it was a little cheaper, but this is a good quality product. One thing I wish could be better is the storage. I maxed it out once, and didn't realize I had done so until I went to turn my recorder off. Storage is a little small, but overall recording and sound quality is great.

I need a recorder only a few times per year. Have been "roughing-it" with a cassette recorder and finally made the change to digital. Love this little machine, but the included software took some getting used to. After a few more attempts at using it, I'm sure I will give it 5 Stars.

This recorder is small, light-weight, and easy to use. I specifically like the fact that you can greatly expand the memory and that it records in mp3 file format. mp3 files are just fine for almost any purpose-- you can even import them into your DAW. That is why I like this unit. It is packed with features... I am picky as a sound guru. I am not happy with any of the microphones on any recorder to tell you the truth so you have to consider that. The quality of this unit is "relatively" excellent. I have used mini cassette recorders and other hand held's and this one I like a lot. Nice big buttons. A decent display. It has great features so I recommend reading the manual although I didn't even have to read it.

**there is a button to reduce background noise, but I haven't figured it out completely yet. I use it in class. It picks up the speaker really well. I can upload the files to my laptop, store them there and listen later if I like. The battery life has been really good so far. The only thing I don't like about it is that it beeps every time a button is pushed, whether I am picking a file to record in or pushing the record button. It is a quiet beep, but in a quiet classroom you can hear it quite well.

I love the Sony digital voice recorder. It is so easy to use and performs beautifully. And it's so compact.

worried after spending sooo much that it will not last. need it for business and school. ability to transfer files to hard drive a must.

This recorder is way better than my last one. I sit in the middle of lecture and can hear the instructor perfectly during playback. It also has speed playback and I can listen to my 5 hr lecture in 3 or less. This is been a life saver during nursing school

This is my first digital recorder, besides my smartphone recorder, and I am so happy with my purchase! It is easy to set-up and use for the day to day recordings. The more in depth functions I am not so sure how to use, but I am not interested in that - yet. The recordings are clear and static free so they are wonderful to create CD's for clients and perform podcasts' for an online use.

Wow! The Best sound playback of any digi audio recorder I've owned. Used mostly for business conference meetings in large auditoriums, or convention centers. The auto noice cancelling and selectable recording modes are great! Lighted buttons, for record and stop, are great in dimmly lit environments

Great value for the price. (my last recorder was a micro cassette), This recorder should satisfy my needs for memos, meetings, etc.

I would recommend this recorder. It is easy to use and understand the manual.

I would recommend this recorder to all students that are taking a class where the lectures are over 2 hours. I have ran a lecture up to 5 hours plus all of my other classes for the week and still have room for more lectures. I love that I can change my folder names to whatever class in am in that way I don't have to remember what class it came from. Overall great buy with ease of use and transfer.

I purchased this recorder for any level of IT experience as it is easy to use and downloads easily as well.

I bought this to record my nursing lectures upgraded from the previous model and I am glad I did quite a difference in sound quality

I use it to record certain conversations for strategic reasons... It's small, light and compact. I'm glad I bought it.

This is a good tool for meetings but not enough for classes where the speaker is more than about 20 feet away or where there is a lot of surrounding background noise. But it does the job.

I replaced an old Sony tape recorder with this digital recorder and I was amazed with the sound quality and features.

Gave this as a gift for a friend going to college. He really likes it and is very happy with the quality of this product.

Bought this for a podcast I do, very easy to use and very small and light - sounds great too - def recommended
