What's great about it: Works well with my PC
What's not so great: Audio quality could be improved
I use this to record college lectures regularly. It has a good record time, plenty of options, and comes with a free program to save and edit recordings with on your PC.
I think the recording quality could be better but that may be operator headspace as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Good sound, versatile uses
What's not so great: Takes awhile to figure out what button does what
I'm using this recorder both for spoken voice and music. I works very well for both uses. The sound quality is excellent. I had been using a mini-cassette recorder and it just doesn't compare to this one. It is also very easy to connect to a computer via USB cable and transfer your sound files. I'm very pleased!

What's great about it: Many features for price.
What's not so great: Nothing
I bought this recorder after looking at a lot of reviews on this item and others. I chose this one because of the many features and ease of use. I used it on a recent vacation to record tour guides for later review. I have not had a chance to download files to computer and edit but so far have been pleased. Recorder was easy to use and seemed to perform well. Record time was more than enough!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 5 for Sony Digital Voice Recorder
Sony Digital Voice Recorder
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Easy to use, intuitive to learn.
What's not so great: I have nothing negative to say.
This is my first digital voice recorder and I have to say that I am impressed. I have been using it for just over a week now and I don't doubt that Sony makes durable electronics. I've never had any trouble with any Sony product that I have owned.
I use it primarily to record my own notes to myself for my journal, i.e. a book that I am writing. It does seem to do a good job of blocking out extraneous noise. Ok, I may look like I’m talking to myself while I’m driving, that may be one downside. It came with a lot of extra features that I will use. You can attach the input to an .mp3 player and record songs or song clips. I will use this to make my own cell phone ring tones. Conversely you can attach it to your computer or your .mp3 player and listen to your recordings on your PC or on your .mp3 player. There actually are quite a few nice features that I wasn’t really expecting, since this is my first one, and I’m looking forward to using as many of them as I can. It is easy to use, pretty intuitive without having to look up how to use it.
One thing I really like is that it actually came with a real User’s Manual, not just a .pdf file that you have to read on your PC or print on your printer. I find that to be unusual these days and I appreciate a real printed-on-paper User’s Manual. Another thing I like is that you can purchase an additional button-sized microphone to clip to your collar or to record phone conversations.
Another nice feature is that you can add a Micro SD card to expand the amount of memory available or to back-up your recordings.
I can’t really comment on the enclosed Sound Organizer software as I haven’t used it very much yet.
My biggest dilemma was how I was going to carry it with me easily. Then I had a “lightbulb” moment when I set it down on my night stand one night next to my Glock. It fits perfectly in an Uncle Mike’s single magazine pouch attached to your belt. Then it’s always handy whenever I remember something that I want to record and write about.
I don’t really have anything negative to say about this digital voice recorder. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I am very impressed with what it offers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: ease of use at hand set and with software
What's not so great: haven't found any thing as of yet
Works great with a head set when driving or in places that are not to noisy. maybe even better with a really good head set. has all the basic features plus extras if you need them and does not take an IT tech to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to help with my foreign language study. I've loaded MP3s for the various programs I do and the features I take advantage of are:
- Ability to skip back a few seconds. While listening to audio in a foreign language, it's useful to be able to easily jump back and repeat the last few seconds to ensure I understood what was said
- Ability to speed up and slow down the auido. Sometimes the speaker speaks too fast for me, but I can slow down the audio to understand what was said. Conversely, if I understand the audio, I would speed it up to get practice listening to the foreign language spoke at a much faster rate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price and quality.
What's not so great: Controls are a little unintuitive.
I use this for business meetings and it does a pretty good job of recording. It's range varies depending on background noise. I was in a pretty noisey environment and the range was about 10 feet. My wife also uses it for her college classes and it works really well for that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: voice clarity from significant distance.
What's not so great: Nothing as far as I am concerned, but I have only used it twice so far.
First digital voice recorder I have used. What a difference from the tape version. In particular, I was impressed with the distance from the device the clarity was maintained. Only had to refer to the instruction book for one question I could not figure out on my own. Since I have had no experience with any other digital recorders I cannot offer a comparison, but it lacks nothing that I desire in a recorder. Strongly recommend this recorder.

What's great about it: Ease of use, audio quality
What's not so great: Have found no issues with this product.
I just bought this recently about a week ago. I have used it fairly regularly recording sounds. I mostly use the recordings for replacing audio on my videos if they are to annoying like too much wind and so forth. I have found its use quite intuitive. I must admit I did need to reed the enclosed manual but only for the more technical aspects. It can be used pretty much right out of the box after inserting batteries. I have found it a most useful tool. No regrets at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!
