I have Sony icd b300 and b400 models and the sound quality is not very good even on HQ with noticeable noise and crackling and doesn't come to resemble this model, whether in SHQ or HQ, because they use a different notation system. I added a Sony ecm-ds70p stereo microphone to this recorder, which allows stereo recording in SHQ + HQ mode, which sounds surprisingly good. I use SHQ for live music recording and for voice recording in HQ mode, each offering 12 hours + 18 hours of recording time. Battery life is excellent and much better than the cheaper Sony models mentioned above. I've just ordered a Sony icd-bx700 recorder which apart from being silver and no USB port is the SAME EXACT recorder and comes for $30 (refurbished) here at Revain it definitely is a bargain. If you need a USB port to easily transfer content to your computer then the extra $10-$15 for this model is the ticket, otherwise save your money and get the nearly identical icd-bx700. Would highly recommend to everyone!
