🎙️ OM Digital Solutions DS-40 Digital Voice Recorder: Capture Crisp and Clear Audio with Cutting-Edge Features Review

I bought this voice recorder to record lectures at school. So far it has worked fine. The sound quality is excellent, I use mono mode for speech. The sound is even better in HQ stereo mode, but that's not necessary for my purposes. I use batteries, charge them every two weeks. WMA files can be easily edited in any modern audio editor. I used the recorder as a microphone input for Skype, the sound quality is also very good. The software that came with the recorder allows you to switch between…

I use this voice recorder to record lectures and it's great for recording and playback.(1) The external stereo microphone that is included improves the recording quality significantly. If I don't use an external microphone, the sound quality drops a bit and stays about the same as with other recorders. It goes without saying that this recorder with an external microphone supplied is far superior to all other recorders without an external microphone. (2) Ability to play with noise reduction. If…

I agree with Jeffrey Kissinger's review below, but there are a few things he missed. My previous recorder was the Olympus WS-310 and the DS-40 is superior to it in every way. The DS-40 has excellent battery life and ergonomically a much better design as the buttons are much more comfortable to use and as the screen is very clear it's easy to see what's going on at a glance. There is never any doubt whether you record or not. Another improvement is the ability to play recorded books from…

Most of the reviews on this model are very positive and deserved and I agree that this is a very good voice recorder. Due to the good quality of the recording, it definitely deserves attention. If you're not expecting this recorder to do everything, including peeling potatoes, then you'll be pretty happy with its performance. One thing that is most often overlooked is the little "lock" on the power button. Slide it into the locked position, and whichever button you press, recording will…

I bought this digital voice recorder because my business has new regulations requiring certain phone conversations to be recorded. After a few days of use it is now working perfectly. I also bought the TP7 accessory, which you simply plug into the DS-40's mic input and place the receiver in your ear while you're on the call. The DS-40 does an excellent job of recording these calls. I also find many other uses like lecture notes and as a daily journal for ideas. I don't know how many times I've…

I didn't know what to expect from this item but so far I'm satisfied. SOUND: Superb quality, amazing crystal clear sound in STXQ mode (highest setting). The stock stereo microphone is actually pretty good too; I was expecting to have to buy another microphone but I don't know if I need one yet. INTERFACE: The controls are a little clunky, but that's a small price to pay for the quality, and given the extremely limited footprint of this tiny thing, I think they did a great job on the design…

Mine is only 2 days old and so easy to use it makes me feel like a pro. Just plug in the included USB cable, go to "My Computer" and copy your audio files to your hard drive. It is so easy! I'm using Windows XP and there are no drivers or software that came with it to install. I haven't even opened the CD that came with it and everything works great. I was also able to copy mp3 music files from my hard drive to the recorder without any problems, and the sound is actually quite good! The sound…
