There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To give it a difficult test, I put it in my pocket in a soft sleeve and went to an outdoor garage sale. Though you could hear some of the rustling noise from my pants fabric, it was minor and it picked up the conversations clearly enough to be discernible in this difficult environment. However, I don't recommend using it this way. Putting it on a belt pouch would definitely give excellent results with little or no rustling noises. If you'd like to keep your interviews unobtrusive, this is a great way to do it. You don't need to put it in someone's face like a microphone to get a clear recording.
Put a large memory card (micro SD) into its available card slot and you can easily capture thousands of hours of recording. The internal battery lasts for more than one day of continuous recording and charges easily and quickly from any USB charger. Plug it into a portable USB power bank and you can extend the recording time to many days or weeks of continuous recording if necessary. Not using throw-away batteries saves size and weight. It saves the recorded files in standard Mp3 format that any computer or smartphone can utilize. Highly recommended for clear voice recording, meetings, interviews or personal notes. An excellent device for a modest price.
Note: if you've never used a voice recorder, don't be fooled into thinking that your smartphone can replace one. A phone is designed to capture voice at very close range and picks up a lot of unwanted noise. Voice recorders are designed to capture the specific sound frequencies of voice and suppress unwanted extraneous noises like wind and machine hum.
Update September 27, 2017:
I went on location to interview a rock singer. I went to his concert the evening before the interview. Not having high hopes, I put the Sony voice recorder in a belt holster, set it to auto and medium high audio quality and let it record during the entire concert. It was at my side, under my shirt and I'm surrounded by screaming fans constantly bumping me. Needless to say the place was LOUD, like eardrum damaging loud. I listened to the recording the next day and WOW. I can clearly hear his intros between songs (which is all I wanted), nearly every word and easily discernible. The sound quality of the music is not good, which I didn't need anyway. I can't believe this worked. Next day we met outside the hotel and walked to a restaurant along a busy street, again with the recorder at my side in a belt holster, sat down outside the restaurant, cars wizzing by and talked. It caught all our conversations clearly. Later we drove around in a convertible with the top down (not as good, but still discernible). That evening we went out to dinner at a busy restaurant, seven of us sitting around the table, the recorder in the center and let run. Caught everyone speaking clearly. Just wow. GREAT voice recorder. Stop shopping and buy this beauty!
Ps: The battery life is crazy good. After 6 hours of multiple recording sessions through the day, it hasn't even dropped one bar. I kept a mobile USB battery pack with me just in case, but never needed or used it.
Things I really like:
The LCD screen is clear, sharp and crisp -- vasty better than anything Sony recorders have previously had. Vastly -- Seriously. I adjusted the screen setting to keep it lit while recording so I can see the counter. Recommend making that adjustment out of the box.
I work as a reporter so being able to clearly see the counter is critical, and this is -- by far -- the easiest, most visible display I've every worked with. The white letter is on a background. The contrast is sharp and high and easy to see under dim lighting conditions. This is a super+++ improvement by Sony. I hope they include it on all their models, especially their high-res systems.
This unit is thinner than the AAA battery versions and just a little wider. Sony uses that space to put in a larger wheel to that makes it easier to control playback. It separates the stop/record pause bottons just a little more. That helps. Instead a back/home button which makes it easier to use through the menu. It calls menu "option" -- these are all radical changes for this system.
The menu is intuitive.
The recording quality appears excellent.
Sony removed the "erase" button on the site, so now you have to go to the menu to do that. But I don't have a problem with that. As have the DPC (speed control) and A/B button. Those two are now on the wheel in front, which makes much sense.
The menu is easy to access and familiar to anyone who has used Sony in the past.
One thing I wish it had was a battery level by percentage. That's a nice to have feature. You need to rely on the battery symbol itself. But Sony also says this thing has a quick charge; 3 minutes will give about an hour.
Overall, I think this is a big step up for Sony and as a lifelong users (35+ years a journalist) of Sony recorders (several dozen probably), this is one the best that they have ever delivered. (I have four working Sony recorders right now).
This seems to power-up a little more quickly than the 533 or AAA battery units, which is nice.
Thanks Sony! Good job!
