🎙️ Olympus WS-853 Voice Recorder with 8GB, Enhanced Voice Balancer, and True Stereo Microphone Review

well, damn it. Has pros: convenient charging, keeps the battery, there are a lot of records Some cons: after a year it stopped charging, it only works like a flash drive

The main thing is that there is an error in the characteristics, it is INDICATED that there is a PCM recording format - this is an uncompressed format, the best possible sound quality. For many, it is important and decisive. A device without it is not professional. This recorder does not have it. Quiet sound with 128 kbps compression cannot be pulled out in the editor. I think this is purely a marketing ploy - a model where wav is present costs 1.5 times more. At the same time, it has less…

Background noise while recording. Various modes and their combination did not help (low filter, noise reduction, voice balance). It is strange that in a voice recorder for normal money this is not eliminated. As far as I understand, the VP-10 model does not have such problems or they are less pronounced. No response from those. support from the official address audio. Repair. Ru@olympus. Eu, more than two weeks have passed. USB is a bit inconvenient, you can’t connect it to the front panel with

I bought this voice recorder to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking on the PC. I recorded about 45 minutes on it and transferred the files to Dragon. The transcription was perfect with no changes. I like the tape recorder. I would give it 4 stars except that the USB connector that comes out at the end of the recorder needs to be dangling from my laptop's USB port. I think this is bad design. I think that over time this will damage the internal solder joints on the laptop motherboard. To even…

Professional quality stereo recorder. I bought this to replace a Sony ICD-PX312 DVR that broke down about a week after the warranty expired. I couldn't be happier with my new device. The work is simple, flexible and logical; sound quality is good; Speech recognition speed with Dragon Naturally Speaking is excellent. Overall, I expect this device to last; Unlike Sony, it's solidly built - like a small brick. The controls are solid and solid, unlike the Sony - although the Sony has been little…

I'm a writer and I interview people almost every day (mostly by phone) and have been using Olympus Pearlcorder microcassette recorders for years and they've always worked very well for me, ok, but I just hated using tapes (scrolling back and forth to look for a specific part of a conversation is a nightmare, especially when the interview lasts an hour or more). Digitally, I can just download the interview to iTunes and then do a quick search by just fast-forwarding the file or making a few…

I recently bought an Olympus WS-853 voice recorder and a cheaper Aomago A36 voice recorder to compare and see what I'm getting from a big brand. I've compared the built in and line mics to the Purple Panda Lavalier and also double checked with my Samsung Galaxy A11 phone (which requires a separate Y-cable for monitoring when using Lava as it uses a TRRS headset). Out of the three, the phone is able to achieve the highest overall quality. With the appropriate app (I used "Super Recorder") it can

This recorder is very well designed and easy to use. Its main disadvantage is that the display is compact and difficult to read; older people may need to wear glasses. The STOP, REC and OK buttons are big and easy to use, they're great for recording and playback, but be sure to read the manual - this voice recorder has a lot of tricks up its sleeve! Some of them can be destructive when they occur or change your planned actions out of ignorance. The recorder has several predefined recording…
