Much more than I expected! I just love it and it's so clear! Can recore so much! I have 2 now and am buying a 3 rd as want one in my purse at all times and one at home by phone. I have also bought one for my daughter as she loved it. Can't go wrong on this.
Digital Voice Recorder It is a nice size recorder that easily fits in a pocket or purse. It fits my needs for documenting family history. The recorder has many features of which I am still learning.
Awesome I'm a musician and use this product for songwriting. My inspirations generally come when I'm outside of the house and it's great to have this recorder in my purse! The playback is crystal clear and there is far more space than I would ever use. Only takes two AAA batteries.
decent functional not a toy nor overly expensive Pros worksgood internal microphone can record voice over 10ft away and even through one wall no need to shout or hold the devise close to your mouth no need to make sure the microphone end is pointed at speaker and speaker is facing the same direction during the entire recordingfunctional battery life and capacity with 2 fully charged AAA batteries and 2G memory it can record for ~22hr or playback for ~14hrsbatteries are not includedbuilt in speakers are adequate not too low in volume no need to hold it against your earstandard type B mini USB interface no proprietary interface or software miniB to type A USB cable is includedCons fancy functions do not work are simply toysthe VCVA is not functional VCVA=voice activation recording It does not record the first few second when someone starts talking and it does not record low volume conversationsthe lowest built in threshold is not low enough. If you turn off VCVA and just press the record button manually it will record the same conversation flawlesslyeven the parts that were previously too low in volume to be detected by the VCVAthe low cut filter is not functional low cut filter=filters out noise and only records voice It will cut out entire segments of conversation even when there is little background noise. When the feature is off and you manually record the conversation it plays back flawlessly the background noise is there but it does not make the voices unintelligible. Due to the feature not functioning properly there is a limit on this device you can not use it in places where there is too much background noise or if the background noise is higher in volume than the speaker doing so requires you to download the file and use software to manually define the noise and cut it out lots and lots of work unless you have plenty of experience doing so.Other thoughtsgood alternative brand sony great user interface designavoid brands other than olympus and sony ex philips RCA etcones with more memory is wasteful to me the 4G and up versions do not have significantly longer battery life so the maximum amount you can record at one time is similar to the 2G ones. Only situation where the 4G and up ones might be beneficial is if you have access to more replacement batteries or an outlet to charge with but does not have access to a computer to download to. Or if you are using this as an ipod/iphone substitute and keep a large collection of mp3s to listen tokeep in mind the playback life time is only ~14hrs per charge on this devisemore expensive ones with built in USB charger tends to have less durability due to charger breaking over time.
Easy to upload files! Great sound! Olympus VN8100PC Digital Voice Recorder with Olympus Case is easy to carry great case sound is excellent and files are extremely easy to upload and manage.
Pretty powerful no *real* complaints but This little digital recorder certainly performs no doubt about that. As far as any issues with quality I have yet to find any real drawbacks it is always helpful to remember for a 2GB device you're getting a *lot* of punch. I've had mine just over a month with the case at a price around $62 now they seem to be selling at $69 and my Seller now has them listed at $89 ?. NOTE I just checked 3/11/12 and the price is back down to around $66 ? again!I can see the tech features they've packed into this tiny recorder it is NOT 1.2 lbs and the USB cable is definitely included. But other elements well without too much effort you have to work out on your own. Other reviewers have mentioned the lack of clarity in the instructions spot on. The 'forced' use of Folders AE not sure why they're not an option. I also get more accustomed to accessing the files on the recorder related to date and time but when you move them to a PC the naming convention is by file order. Not that big of a problem except when you erase a recording it reorders the files so there's no continuity when you move them to your PC. **UPDATE To be clear it doesn't RENAME the files or Resequence them it just confuses ya because I get more accustomed to looking for the files via WHEN I recorded them It would be better IMHO if the naming convention stuck to a date/time stamp method.When you're in menu mode it can be too easy to change a setting without knowing it. And after 5 minutes of nonuse the recorder goes into 'standby/sleep' mode if you're not watching the screen you'll miss the See You message and likely forget that any key wakes it up. I'm not sure how that varies to actually shutting the recorder off batterywise.None of those small distinctions of course are documented.
Awesome Recorder Bought this to record several interviews. It is great. It probably has lots of other features that I have not used yet but for straightforward recording it is great. I also wasted money on a microphone to go with it. I have not even opened that package.
Serves it's purpose This recorder is very good at detecting sound from a pretty good distance. I purchased it to collect evidence and hid it inside a shoe lol and you could still hear everything clearly. It is pretty easy to use.I gave it 4 stars because I do not like that it has no lighting it's impossible to use in the dark. Good buy overall though.
wonderful product The Best Price In Town I thank you very much for the Olympus VN8100PC Digital Voice Recorder with the Olympus Case. I recommend this item for everyone.

great recorder This recorder is great. It isn't too hard to use. Has great pick up and clarity in playback using external speaker or headphones. Recording time is plentiful. It should have a case but doesn't and I can't find one anywhere to fit. User's manual could be better. Atrocious voice quality. Very poorly made of cheap plastic. I received this Panasonic voice recorder just a few days ago and eagerly set about using it. Firstly I would like to point out that ones first impression is of a device poorly made with cheap material. It takes two triple AAA batteries and if you don't have any lying about the house you're out of luck. Read more...

voice recorder I ordered this recorder because my husband goes to the doctor and can never remember everything they tell him. Especially when he goes to the heart doctor. He wants to record certain information that is very important. He also forgets things.It works great. It records the minute some starts talking it starts working and you can be 45 feet away from the person talking. Happy I was using the Sony tape recorder before.. the transition was amazing. I like the folder featureAlso not related to the recorder. The shipping came fairly quickly. I all around happy with the product. Recorder The recorder is obviously brand new no doubt but I will be returning it as it came since it was not the recorder my professor had asked for. works great this works great.. i thought it had some external memory but it doesn't .. only the internal memory.. but it pick up sound great and plays back early. not really sure how it work it great.. but i am sure that is just me.. i have a hard time fast forwarding through the recordings. it could be a little more user friendly.. An oral history asset My Mom was 90 when I bought the Sony ICDBX800 2G Flash Memory Digital Voice Recorder. I can transfer the information to more durable storage and there's a huge amount of space. Also the seller's price was the best I found for this cutie. awesome this is a great voice recorder it really helps at the grocery store and other places and the playback is so clear . Easy to use and crystal clear I love my old Panasonic personal tape recorder which still works perfectly but this one is 10 times easier to use.Five different 'folders' for different classes of recording work shopping reminders etc.Uses standard AA batteries with a hinged access door.Turn on press the red record button and you're off. Press it again to pause within the same record.Can use a remote mike.With a patch cord you can transfer or copy directly to your computer.Very nice well made device. Very Nice Recorder I think that this is a very good personal recorder. It has a good mic and a loud speaker i still wish that it had a usb port for easier file transferring but I easily got around that problem by just connecting it to my computer with an auxiliary cable and recording the sound onto my computer with audacity. Overall i think this is great for anyone who might need to record lectures or a conversation between a few people. I did end up giving mine to my mother because i needed to upgrade to a more professional recorder for shooting videos and she uses it for things like chorus rehearsals and business meetings. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who needs a personal recorder. Sweet! Got this as a present for my dad and he just loves it! Recordings are very clear and the playback is excellent. I just may order one for myself to use when songwriting. Sony Voice Recorder Read more...

an ode to digital recording i do miss this model's predecessor. it's size and look was killer. this model works the same but the packaging isn't as spylike cool. Awesome and Fun! Just is great. I got it for Christmas to use for making mental notes and voice general recording. It looks overwhelming at first the buttons can be difficult to learn for some but I'd imagine for most people it's relatively easy to navigate its. The sound quality is superb nothing less than you would expect from Sony. I also purchased this device with be DragonBar software which features voice recognition ends it is incredibly useful for bringing your thoughts to paper without having to stroke a single key I highly recommend this product and PS by the way I'm using the recorder and voice recognition software to rights this review. Horrible Sony Software The digital recorder editor has not worked. I've been on the line with customer servicejust horrible.Look elsewhere. icdsx68 review I just bought ICDSX68 recorder and these are my thought about itThe metal shell is paper thin. Since it has textured surface if you touch the recorder while it is recording it will result in loud popping sounds.The battery cover is made out of plastic. Very poor design. While recording there is a lot of white noise I tried recording in highest quality mode. It is hard to use buttons since they are on the side and hard to see. Overall the entire unit looks cheap. I think I will go back to Olympus WS recorder. Olympus has much higher quality of voice recordings.ProsCharge batteries through USB cable. Big advantage over Olympus.ConsProprietary format of voice recordings.Small screen.White noise.Plastic battery cover.Textured surface affecting the quality of recordings if touched. High end recorder The unit is lighter than it looks. If you want a high end recorder that fits in your pocket this is an excellent choice. Very sleek and fits nicely in a shirt pocket. Has all the bells and whistles you would expect for a recorder of this quality. I was very impressed with the record and play back quality.Pause button not easy to turn on or off without searching for it. Otherwise this is a 5 star product. práctico Lo aquirí para grabar las clases y conferencias del Doctorado al cual aisto. creí que tendría funciones para almacena datos radio u otro.mi limitación en el idioma Ingles no me permitió clarificar estos aspectos sin embargo conidero que es una aparato UTIL y PRÁCTICO FUNCIONA. Sony SX68 Product does everything we want it to do and that very simply. Software manages filing and editing. One downside for us is the fact that the that the documentation said something which led us to believe that the recorder has an input plug for an external power supply. It does not. We have found it cost effective and handy to plug into an external source because 1 it saves buying batteries 2every presentation is recorded week in week out. The battery meter does work well and as long as one watches it the batteries can be replaced. Also the plug for external power does allow one to charge rechargeable batteries but the recorder cannot be powered through this plug. Read more...

Not expensive but not worth it since it didn't work I bought this microphone to go with my daughter's karaoke so my son can enjoy also but did not work at all. Sony Omnidirectional Microphone is so bad Sony Omnidirectional Microphone is smaller than usual one its sound is so little whenever and whatever I adjust it to. It makes me so upset. It sucks. Don't buy it. Don't use it. It is made in china. I want to send it back to the seller for a refund or exchange of other kinds of microphone. Please help me solve it. Find something else I accidentally came across this mic while browsing and thought hey I've got one like this! So just to tell you guys don't waste your money on it so funny that it simply doesn't pic up sound any mic is better your webcam's your laptop's. And I thought Sony couldn't go wrong lol. Cheers. poor pickup cuts out I have no idea why but it will be working fine then suddenly cut out and then a moment later back in. i have to have the gain on my mixer almost all the way up before it works somehow there seems to be a threshold before it can even start to pick up. I didn't see a listing for cord length but it's too short for comfort with karaoke and the cord seems thin and flimsy. Mic itself is very cheap and flimsy feeling. Sony Omnidirectional Microphone for Computer Review Not happy. I read some of these other reviews that stated that this mic was cheap and did not pick up sound very well. I should have paid attention but it was cheap and it was from Sony so I figured how could I go wrong. Well the mic is a piece of junk and worthless to me. You have to cup your hand around the the end and with you mouth just a 1/2 inch from it's surface you have to shout for anything to be recorded at a near normal level. Perhaps this would be of some benefit for loud singing but for normal speaking level it is completely useless. It was cheap enough that I just wrote it off as the time and effort it would of taken to repackage and repost would not of been cost effective. Don't buy it. Spend a little more money and get something that works. Absolutely GREAT for the cost Quoted from another reviewi didn't expect much because it was cheap but it works. it can be low at times but again i didn't expect some studio mic or somethingThe above quote says it all. This mic only cost nine dollars. For all those who complained did you look to see what most other microphones go for??I have purchased 5 of these microphones for use in a homemade intercom system that my wife uses at horse shows. You have to use a preamp with this mic. I designed and built my own I am NOT an engineer either. This thing works fantastically low noise good voice quality and the intercoms are a couple of hundred feet apart connected with twisted pair telephone wire. Not worth the money Santa brought this for Christmas. It did not last two days! The mic feels nice and heavy and looks great. The problem is in the wiring. Good mic for amatuers I purchased this for my daughter who likes to sing. The quality is not high fidelity however it suffices for my needs. The delivery was timely and the product was as reviewed. I would utilize this seller again. Seems decent I like the fact that the microphone is inexpensive. The different plug options are convenient. I am very happy with the length of the cord. The quality seems to be decent. Read more...
