Used this in a seminar where we could not tap into the house system and the speakers were on the ceiling. We attached the mic to the house handheld mic and it worked like a charm and was very inobtrusive compared to other piggyback recorders we have used.

Sleek and slim

Top qualité et pratique mais très cher

very small and easy to carry for Discreet recording important conversations

es un buen microfono quizás no te den el audio perfecto, pero a lo que yo hago me sirve perfectamente. lo otro por lo que lo compre es por lo fácil de usar, lo pequeño y práctico de llevar a todos lados.

Good quality recording and sound. Good battery life. Convenient USB-C charging so can charge using my phone cable.

Sound quality is OKAY. I wouldnt use this for a primary but man it def helped me out when I was in a pinch! Someone wanted to speak unexpectedly and one of my lavs were pulled out for whatever reason. This came in and did the job! So go ahead and spend the $100, it def can save you. Better to have and not need.

This is really a very interesting device. Smaller than an original iPod Shuffle, it’s really pocketable and a viable EDC type device. I like being able to record ideas while my phone is doing other things, or without the distraction of a screen or the weight of the phone. I’ve just put this in my breast pocket like a lavalier mic and recorded conversations pretty casually like that and it works great for that too. The sound quality of the recordings is excellent, though still not quite enough to record a whole podcast. It does not isolate your voice at all, it’ll capture the entire soundscape. That just makes it a particular kind of tool; it does what it is designed to do well.The USB-C connection is straightforward and functional, it charges easily and transfers data easily to a computer or tablet. I’ve had poor luck getting the files to an iPhone, though, as you still need a series of adapters and the regular cable doesn’t do it. I wish that Sony had included some method to get the files to a phone, whether that was an app that enabled transfer over the regular cable, or even if it had bluetooth or wifi. I understand why this device doesn’t have wireless transfer, but for the price it may have been nice.It turns out that it can function as a USB media player in at least some cars, too. So, while you can’t transfer the files to your iPhone easily, you can listen to them on your car directly through the USB port.Another oddity is that the headphone jack is just a headphone jack. You can use the device like an iPod - 16gb of storage is plenty for that purpose - but the interface is pretty clunky if you wanted to navigate more than a small handful of songs. You can also use it to connect to a car or audio system like an aux port. But you can’t plug in an external upgraded microphone. I get why that might be pointless because if you’re adding more bulk to it, you miss the purpose of this device which is smallness. Once you are plugging in external accessories you kind of lose the reason to have chosen this device over a phone or a larger recorder. Sony does make several other recorders that are less compact and have other advantages, so if you want more flexibility and power just choose one of those instead; heck they’re cheaper too, sometimes half the price.I also wish Sony had included transcription software with it, but I get why that’s too much to ask. Right now the transcription software landscape is terrible. The only real options are Dragon and Otter, both of which are really pricy and cloud-based. But again, that’s not a competitive weakness; nobody includes that kind of software anymore.Overall though, I love this thing. I am using it to write a book and it just opens up creative settings that my phone would be distracting in. I do kind of wish it were water resistant as well. But this is a pretty niche device and so I’m already just grateful it exists at all.

Easy to use, great quality, and the battery lasts for ages somehow, it’s unreal

I'm a wedding filmmaker and this Sony recorder is a MUST HAVE. This is my secod one, and I'm really happy with it.The first time, I bought a japanese version *LOL* I had to learn the basics to use it, but now I dont have any problem anymore.

Sony è Sony. E potrei fermarmi qui. Ma dal momento che ho testato anche 3 prodotti cinesi, non posso esimermi dallo specificare quando la qualità Sony sia il top.Se state pensando di acquistare un registratore separato dal vostro smartphone probabilmente avrete già fatto delle valutazioni sugli infiniti vantaggi: l’avere uno strumento che registra BENE, con il suo microfono, mentre avete lo smartphone per fare tutto il resto.A scuola: prodotto favoloso. È piccolo, facile da usare e la qualità delle lezioni anche se non siete seduti ai primi posti, è favolosa.Ai meeting (il mio utilizzo): è sempre pronto in un istante e se volete, potete mimetizzarlo facilmente perché davvero piccolo. È possibile disattivare la spia di registrazione e con una clip di può facilmente fissare ai vestiti. O ancora, passare un anello e metterlo tra le Chiavi sul tavolo.È ideale per registrare quel che di vuole. Ad esempio io “scrivo” relazioni e perfino un libro, senza rischio che vi squilla il cellulare ed avete perso il registrato.Per riprese video/audio professionali: ho scorretto l’utilizzo grazie a molti videomaker che lo mettono alla giacca di qualcuno per una registrazione professionale.Insomma gli utilizzi sono vari. Tantissime modalità di regolazione per i più smanettoni ed esigenti ma anche l’avvio IMMEDIATO (meno di un terzo di secondo) con un solo tasto.Certo, altri prodotti sono più economici ma sono grandi anche due volte questo. Se le dimensioni per voi non sono un problema e non avete bisogno di fare un uso anche “mimetico”, lasciare stare. Altrimenti acquistatelo senza problemi. In commercio difficilmente troverete un prodotto così versatile e di qualità.De questa recensione vi è piaciuta, fatemelo sapere con un bel clic sul tasto “UTILE” per incoraggiarmi a farne altre. Grazie!

جودة الصوت ممتازة جدا وقد قمت باستخدامه لتسجيل اجتماعات العملالتصميم متناسق ومناسب من حيث الحجم

I’ve used it to film a wedding, I liked the simplicity and audio quality so much, I ordered a second unit. I’m seriously thinking of selling my two Tascam lav recorders.
