Bought used - good item

Bought this item to use for my paranormal research team. I already have a Sony but I need a second recorder with USB transfer capability. I like this MUCH better than my Sony. Larger form factor with large buttons. The sound is also clearer. The Sony's buttons are a bit on the small side for my liking and the playback sound is pretty muddy. I can only recommend this digital recorder.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Go with another recorder.

I also had trouble converting file formats. Don't buy if you plan to burn your recordings to CD. Also, the headphone jack is obviously designed to only work with one headphone, not both. A little annoying. And the recording quality is not very good at all. Maybe because of the comparison (Sony IC Recorder ICD-PX720 is a MUCH better product for about the same price). While this recorder from Olympus is one of the few "cheaper" digital recorders I've been able to find that works with Windows 7…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expensive

Great little gadget!

I just bought one of these. Why? . because I bought his "little brother". 16k version and I liked it so much I had to buy a version with more memory (it's 64k). Contrary to the official description of Revain. The high quality recording time is almost 3 hours (2 hours 57.5 minutes). If you're interested in a digital voice recorder, be sure to buy one (like this one) that you can easily download onto your computer. Many non-USB devices require you to plug the headphone jack into your sound card's

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some bugs
