Review on Sony M-570V Microcassette Voice Recorder: Clear & Compact Recording Solution by Justin Pavelko

I'm sorry to say that about Sony. but it's a piece of JUNK. I bought it to go through a few transcriptions and never use it again (I've switched to digital recorders). my OLD recorder (20+ years old) was giving me grief. hissing and hissing noises that don't go away unless I tap (tap) them on the table for a few seconds. In any case, the playback volume on this recorder was so low that I could NOT hear ANYTHING. I wrapped it up, mailed it back and stuffed it with my old trusty but faulty tape recorder. Luckily I've finished transcribing these microcassettes!
