Fairly Suitable as an Analog Recorder

bychrish495 Apr 5, 2004
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros VCVA Activated recording, FFW, REV, free tape, different recording settings, built-in mic
Cons Analog, not digital.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't understand the three one-star reviews on this product. I remember purchasing this recorder in probably Sep, Oct, or Nov, 2001 and have been pretty happy with it. I've played around with it a few times here and there, and overall it's not too bad. The microcassette tapes are pretty... Read full review »

After 15 hours of use, the recording feature doesn't work

Pros Small, good microphone
Cons Recording feature doesn't work after 15 hours of total use.
Recommended it? No

I bought this a couple years ago, but have rarely used it except to record/play occasional speech practice sessions. I liked it at first. Now it won't record because the tape stops after 3 seconds. It has been sitting on my desk--never dropped, never even outside of my house. I first thought it was... Read full review »

Excellent voice recorder, but not very sturdy

bystephenlac Apr 26, 2006
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 1 GB memory, long recording time, excellent sound and playback.
Cons Lightweight, flimsy construction, slow scrolling of MP3 tags. No protective case.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great product, overall. I've owned Olympus and Sony voice recorders, and am extremely satisfied with this latest offering from Olympus.

The voice recorder functions as expected. The controls are tiny (partly because of the very small size of the unit), but I've found them fairly... Read full review »

Excellent!

bymaccaveili Apr 10, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great sound quality and VERY easy to understand how to use.
Cons Built in usb port could possibly get bent if bumped while plugged in.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great recorder AND mp3 player. I bought it for recording, but after putting a few mp3's on it, I am blown away by how well it sounds with headphones. It even lets you set your own equalizer settings for music files. The volume on it is very loud, even too loud at the highest setting and... Read full review »
