Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Efficiently Capture Every Word with the Olympus DS-50 Digital Voice Recorder (275 Hours) by Paul Hyde

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little voice recorder

This little man is SMALL, especially when you remove the detachable stereo microphone from the top (it has a nice monaural built in). I've used it to record lectures at school and meetings at work, and it worked great on both occasions. The sound quality is MUCH better than anything else for simple voice recording, but I wouldn't recommend it for serious recording of music or other dynamic sounds (bought an Olympus LS-11 for this). Features like a low-pass filter and special recording options (e.g. recording only when a dB reaches a set volume) were also appreciated (and probably a better voice recorder than my LS-11 for these reasons). well built. I've dropped it dozens of times and you'd probably swear it's new.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Style 90
