Review on 🎀 Olympus WS-400 S White Digital Recording Device by Brian Foster

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Newsboy best portable audio video

Although I would have preferred black, the Olympus WS-400 digital recorder continues my previous positive experience with Olympus digital voice recorders. It reliably gives me high-quality and clear recordings of both large-room meetings and close-up interviews with individuals. Olympus has always had good, easy-to-use controls, and the WS-400 performs better than previous models. I love being able to download meetings or interviews in WMA, a widely used audio recording format. I might prefer the MP3 format because it's more widely used, but WMA is still the format that you can play on many players. I have a similar Sony ICDUX70RED digital voice recorder that uses the MP3 format. It seems to have better noise sensitivity. However, I didn't really like the usability of the controls. It also seems to drain the batteries faster, which is important if I've used it multiple times without charging the batteries, or for long meetings. I would recommend the Olympus digital voice recorder for any job that requires meeting or interview recording. .

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • poorly thought out
