Review on 🎧 OM Digital Solutions WS-300M 256MB Voice Recorder & Music Player by David Flores

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Outstanding properties! Battery life mediocre.

Bought an Olympus WS-300M for my wife but I was so impressed with its performance that I more or less kept it (sorry dear I'll buy you a new one , I promise.) Easy to use, with a simple one small enough to fit in almost any briefcase, bag, or purse. yet packed with recording and playback features, including support for external microphones and earbuds (which I bought and used). The digital display and user interface is a bit overloaded and takes a little time to navigate the manual, but after an hour or so you're ready to get started with a serious set of features. I like the USB interface which makes it very easy to transfer recordings and music files between the recorder and a PC (or other USB enabled device). So my only complaint is far with the battery life. Sure, it only uses one AAA battery, making it small overall, but I recently recorded a 1.5-hour conversation where one battery was almost dead. Plan accordingly. All in all, I'd recommend this device to anyone who needs to keep a record handy on a regular basis, whether it's a recording of speeches or a quick note of thoughts, actions, or other "memories of yourself." To be honest I don't, I don't buy a device to listen to music (MP3 etc.) so I can't comment on those features, but I have every reason to believe it plays music just as well.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
