 Best Buy February 9, 2008
I use the recorder for (2) things:
Practicing presentations (Work and Toastmasters)
Recording our dog while we're out (auto-on feature)
I'm no expert, but the audio quality sounds spot-on, the batteries life and recorded duration are perfectly long enough, the features are exactly what I need for those (2) tasks.
I feel the memory structure and button actions are a little confusing unless you spent your childhood on a C64, and even then, you'd probably need to read the instructions. But again, that's why they include instructions: To explain how things work.
I like it so much I gave one as a Christmas gift (2) years ago. And my wife caught me on tape saying, "Yes, you're right, Honey", so she likes it too.
Excelent August 9, 2007
This is the best Voice Rec of the Olympus series. The quality of the sound is better than other models, even better than the Olympus VN2100PC model. I recommend it hightly.
Very pleased. May 13, 2007
I bought this as a gift for my seriously tech challenged husband to use at college. Works very well, easy pc set up, very small but completely functional. An exceptional product you would never know it was "reconditioned".
Surprisingly wonderful March 10, 2007

I bought this product for two reasons: 1. necessity. I needed a voice recorder to record my interviews for my Undergraduate Thesis. 2. It was the cheapest one that had everything I needed (namely a USB connection) and looked decent enough.
I am pleasently surprised at how well this has worked. It takes two AAA batteries to run it. I put in the two batteries that came with the recorder and went to do my first interviews. I'm now 11 interviews in (each being somewhere between 1/2 hour and 1.25 hours) and still on the same batteries!!! And it doesn't look like I'm going to replace them any time soon either. The sound quality is incredible as well. I've been recording on High Quality and have had no problem understanding the recordings later even when the interviewee was mumbling and stuttering. It does a pretty good job of cutting out background noise too. The program that comes with it is very easy to work, which makes for an easier time transcribing.
Overall it was quite a deal considering the price (about $[...]) I certainly recommend this product, it's well worth it.
Very good digital voice recorder November 27, 2006

It has every thing you need: Nice voice quality, good speaker, nic and earphone entries. It's small, light, good design and PC connection via mini USB. You can have up from 3 hours (best quality) or 8 hours (worst but very acceptable) of recording.
The 4 stars is because data transfer via USB is slow. Even on USB 2.0 connections, it takes 7 minutes to transfer a 25 MB file to the PC (1.5 hours in best quality, wav format) and you depend on the software because you don't see the device in Windows like USB flash memories.
