Additional comment under Portable Audio & Video

Since so many reviews have already been posted here, I don't want to repeat myself. It's a great tool with a major annoyance. I use it for notes on biological research in the field and for notes on hikes and camping trips. The annoying thing is that the STOP button is right below the PLAY button. Despite years of use, I still manage to hit the last one when trying to finish a recording. So what I picked up was a "rewind" and I had to play around with fast forward to find where I left off. This…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥

DS 330 is a great product but useless for Mac

Ask me five minutes ago and I would give this product 5 stars. I used it with a PC for a few years in college and it was great. Now I find out that all those recordings I transferred from PC to Mac are useless. The ones I just wrote down the other day (just pulled from storage) are useless. The recorder works well as it should as I once paid around $100 for it. If I had known it had an expiration date I probably wouldn't have bought it. It's been one of my favorite devices for a long time and I

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • A few minor things

Best near the speaker

I have read some reviews that the recorder records lectures really well, even from a distance, but I found this recorder records more of the surrounding noise than a lecture you stay longer than 1.80 to 3.00 m away from the speaker. I like the fact that you can save recordings on your computer and listen to them. It definitely saves money and space compared to traditional tape recorders. The battery life I've found can last around 2 weeks. For example 6-8 hours a week if you turn it on and off.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • There are problems

A Dictaphone Can Make Me A Millionaire

The main reason I bought a Dictaphone is so I could record my professor's lectures. In fact, it worked like magic in my biology class last semester. At first I didn't think the recorder would be ideal as the playback on the recorder is hard to hear. However, when I downloaded the files to my computer, the sound quality was amazing. I believe this recorder helped me get an A in biology because without accurate notes I could never have remembered and written down all the details discussed during…

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Exorbitant Piggy Bank
