I use this to record voice, and I love all its features - very easy to use. The one drawback is the machine noise that comes through (clicks and whirs), but for my purposes that's not a big problem. I'm hoping that experimenting with different volume levels on recording and/or playback may improve things.

I bought a dirt-cheap Genexxa dictaphone back in 1995. The sound is a little rough, but it's bright and audible. I have a large stockpile of tapes, so I thought I'd upgrade to something a little more up-to-date and expensive, try and improve upon the sound quality.
Sadly, this supposedly mid-range product (they go for UKP70 in the Sony shop), is inferior in almost every way to my 15-year-old bottom-of-the-range Genexxa. For starters, the construction feels brittle, cheap and lightweight. This I could forgive if the sound reproduction was any good.
Unlike my cheap dictaphone, the recordings made on this unit feature a very prominent background rumble that threatens to overwhelm the voices. The voices themselves have little real presence or brightness, but retain the tinniness of a cheap microphone. Even though the product claims to be good for conferences, I can't imagine you'd pick up much more than a few feet away.
The blurb claims that the item is, "an excellent example of innovative designs that bring high-quality sound". Considering the cheaper and older device that I've been using for the last 15 years is better in every respect, I beg to differ.

This is the second time that I have purchased a Sony and would recommend it especially to anyone studying language etc; as it can be started and stopped where you want it.

Nice Little Toy, the sound is very rough, but if you like recording and playing about with sound this is pretty neat. It allows you diffrent speeds that are fun.
