🎙️ Olympus WS-210S Voice Recorder (141960) (Brown): Compact and Reliable Recording Solution Review

The HOLD button is used to block, when replacing batteries, it translates as "hold" and not off. It turns off automatically after some time, like it falls asleep, and turns on by pressing any button. The quality of the recording is not only excellent, but also much higher than it might seem: in a room 10 meters away in the recording, you can hear what they are talking about in a low voice. The sensitivity of the microphone is high. Too bad it's no longer for sale.

What sucks is that there is no way to listen to files recorded from another source, even if the format is WMA. For some reason he can't see them. I used DS-40 - a completely different conversation (although the price is twice as high). And you can listen to music, the same English to teach at your leisure. That is, it is impossible to use as an Olympus WS-210S player. Just like a voice recorder. It is somehow unusual to turn off the recorder exclusively with the HOLD button. The rest of the…

I bought this device to record interviews. Thanks to its light weight and discreet design, it is ideal for traveling. The recorder captures the sound very well and records 17 hours. Recording and playback are easy to understand, and a direct connection to a PC makes downloading easy. With a phone, the voice recorder works just as well for phone calls. It requires a battery. If you don't want to run out of power (or you want to deal with beeps while recording), it's a good idea to bring a spare…

I am very happy with this little voice recorder. I was able to use it immediately without opening the manual. It's simple and intuitive. I was most concerned about the sound quality when the device was far from ideal, so my first test was to keep it in my pocket and record a conversation between 5 people in a normal sized room. I was sitting at the table, so the recorder was practically not only in my pocket, but also under the table. When I listen to the audio file, I can understand every word

This machine is the coolest! I was looking for something inexpensive to record and play short jam sessions with friends. We mainly play congas, harmonica, clarinet, percussion etc so I can't vouch for the loud electric guitar recording. Also, for a few hundred dollars, you can buy a good digital recorder that no doubt sounds better, but works great for less than $60. First, when recording, I plug a microphone into the microphone jack (should be a mini plug). This added richness to the…

I'm killing my head right now. Problem: Looking for a disgusting WMA workaround for Macintosh. One would hope that Olympus would use a more established audio format than WMA. First, find an audio program that actually converts to AIFF (or mp3). Well I found this app called Switch which is now shareware (not free). Luckily I didn't pay for it because the other big problem is that when trying to match Olympus files to video, the slightest discrepancy is in the speed at which the audio files were…

I bought this recorder to replace a Sony ICD-BM1 which I found dangerously cumbersome. The thumb controls for playback and recording fold back easily; He tended to overwrite previously recorded material rather than create a new file or append to an existing one, and recorded in a proprietary format that wasn't playable on a Mac until I converted it with a Windows program. Did I mention the batteries died with little to no warning? The Olympus WS-210S solved all of these problems in a jiffy…
