"I’m very satisfied with this voice recorder. It performed better than I expected. The sound quality is clear, and the noise-cancellation works really well. The transcription feature is accurate and very helpful, and the 64GB memory gives plenty of space for long recordings. I also liked how easy it ..."

"This recorder FEELS great. It’s heavy enough to feel stout, but not so much that it would bother you.The menus could be laid out better, but aren’t that hard to figure out.I bought this for a strange reason. I am a ham radio operator who is CONSTANTLY listening to the police scanner. Everyone I know..."

"Good to get the task at hand done. If the recorder rubs something or a small sound is made near it, it records it and is very loud, but for a meeting where people are talking and its sitting still this is great. It looks like its made out of cheap plastic, but I don't care about that much since it d..."

"I took this with me to Europe, where I interviewed artists and attendees at a heavy metal festival. This device was supposed to be just the backup audio. However, it captured sound more consistently and faithfully than the $200 cardioid mic of my camera. Further, it's not too finicky regarding th..."

"Recorder works great. Easy one switch to record from off and sound quality is excellent."

"This was a surprise to me... a very nice quality device, which works well, and as advertised, for about $20. The sound is adequate and understandable with the small speaker, but when you transfer the files to your computer, you can hear that they are of a very good quality. I tried both the 512kbps ..."

"I’m really impressed with the Voice Recorder! The 16GB capacity is perfect for storing hours of recordings, and the voice-activated feature works really well – it starts recording automatically when it detects sound. It’s ideal for lectures, meetings, and interviews. The quality of the recordings is..."

"Ok, so this is my third digital voice recorder! I returned the first two because they could not pick up voice sounds from more than a few feet away, and had no volume control. I have yet to test this one in a lecture since I just got it this afternoon but I will next Monday. So far it's great. I rec..."

"This double-sided magnetic voice recorder has left me very satisfied. It’s small, easy to place thanks to the magnet, and discreet, which makes it ideal for use in different situations. Its 8GB capacity provides enough space to record long meetings, classes, or interviews without worrying about memo..."

"if I could design the perfect little pocket recorder, it would probably look (and act) a lot like this one.pros:> very good mic quality (considering the size)> good size, weight and form factor - very pocketable> ability to save/load recorder settings to quickly tune for different scenes & environme..."

"Overall for the price point its good. I almost went with 4 stars, but its working excellent and a lot better than an old school micro-cassette recorder of the past. Price point is very attractive. LOL....The user interface is very dated, but works. And lets face it if you are using a voice recorder..."

"From the photos on the listing it looked like it came with two complete cases and straps already attached. So you could quickly remove the note pin device from one housing and put it into another. That's not the case. It comes with one housing and two sets of straps. Not the end of the world but som..."

"I didn’t expect to love this AI voice recorder as much as I do, but it has honestly become one of the most useful tools I carry every day. The noise cancellation and voice isolation are incredible. I can record in my car, busy stores, or even outside, and the audio still comes out crystal clear. It ..."
