Review on 🐻 EZSound Voice Recorder for Stuffed Animal, 2-Pack - 30 Seconds Push Button Sound Recorder, Heartbeat Bear for Newborn - Personal Voice Message Recordable Sound Module for Toys (Red) by Brent Borseth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I use them against telemarketers and scammers (seriously)

I use these recorders to fool telemarketers and scammers who are calling by playing a recording of the disconnect message when I pick up the phone to get me from remove active numbers from their list, leading them to believe my number has been disconnected. I first bought a more traditional voice recorder to do this as I thought it would have better audio quality but it would take too long for the machine to turn on when I got a call and for me to be ready play the message, the caller has already hung up. So I decided to try something like this where I just have to press one button to play the recording immediately. Also, the heart design was too cute to pass up. A couple of times (maybe once or twice) I was able to fool a telemarketer with a more traditional audio recorder, they hung up almost immediately. However, when I use this item, sometimes they immediately challenge it and sometimes they stay on the line for much longer, around 20 seconds. I'm not sure if it's because the audio playing on this recorder isn't that good and therefore unlikely to fool the phone seller, or if it's because of how long it takes you to record the recording and to prepare. I seem to be getting fewer calls though, so it seems to be working, especially since this voice recorder is play-ready on my bedside table. Another thing I really like is that you can stop recording by pressing the button again. That way, I don't have to sit and listen to disconnected messages for 30 seconds after the phone clerk has already hung up or if I accidentally press the device. No matter what you are buying this item for, the instructions are easy to use, this item came with batteries, it probably works for the purpose it was originally made for and looks good for a second use if you have more than buy one These are all great features that earned the article in my book its 5 stars.
