« Barely Audible »

Ordered this as a gift for my father-in-law. He indicated that he could not hear the playback. When he brought it over, both my wife and I poured through the documentation in an attempt to find a way to increase the volume. We had the volume set to the highest level, per the documentation, and it was barely audible. It would be helpful if the specs listed the maximum loudness these units produce. Now it's trial and error. We will go to a store where we can test the loudness. The quality of the documentation was very poor also. Would not recommend this product.

« good product »

High quality at the right price. Takes up very little space and weighs very little, which allows it to always be on-hand in my bag.

These will eventually more obsolete as cell phones and pocket cameras can record high quality stereo sound, but right now this device has superior sound quality. Also, these are good in places where phones and cameras are prohibited or frowned upon.

This white model looks very friendly, which has advantages in recording people.

The Olympus recorder is small and compacted. But easy to use. Lots of room for recording. The mics pickup sound good.
The built in USB port is great. You just have to use iTunes to convert the recordings before putting them on CD.
My over all satisfaction is great.

« Great item! »

This recorder is great for interviewing. I love that it has the usb to hook up to a computer and get the sound files off. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who will be interviewing. I would not buy a recorder without a usb port to have the option of downloading the file.

Easy to use. Records and downloads great. Very simple. Sound quality isn't bad. I actually recorded some singing and music, then downloaded it to video.
