Perfect recording device!

This digital voice recorder is a great piece of electronics for anyone in need of on-the-go audio capturing. As my tests showed, the sound quality is excellent and the device is extremely user-friendly. The design is sleek and compact, making it easy to carry around. The only con is the battery life could be longer, but it's not a deal breaker. Overall, highly recommend this product for professionals or students needing a reliable recorder.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality, user-friendly, compact design.
Cons
  • Short battery life.

Buyer warning! USB software and hardware do not work!

I'm surprised no one is complaining about the poor quality of the USB software and/or USB hardware on this device. I've only had problems with 3 different OS versions (Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP), 3 different computers and 2 identical DW-90 digital recorders. In all cases "Digital Wave Player" will be played. Connects to the recorder within a few seconds after connecting the USB cable. On Windows XP the connection doesn't drop for 6-7 seconds (yup!) so you still have a chance to…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete

Good tape recorder, handy size

I have an Olympus analog tape recorder (L400) and use it as a dictaphone. I wouldn't trade it for a digital one (at least not yet), but I needed a pocket-sized digital voice recorder that I could use to take notes quickly. I found it in this device. First of all, the rest of the statements about the quality of the recording are correct for LQ (low): It costs practically nothing. If you have a high pitched voice (unlike mine), speak fairly loudly and clearly, you CAN use LQ, but I wouldn't rely…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
