Great for normal voice recording. Have not used the MP-3 features, since I use it for voice recording only. The 32 GB micro chip capacity is almost an overkill, but worth having just in case. I also have several 4-8 GB chips and use them as my "filing" systems. Dividing the chip recordings into sections is very handy. Takes a bit of navigating on your own, but fairly intuitive, and becomes second nature once you use the device a few times. Too many features to explain. Have had other brands, from various countries, but I seem to come back to Olympus. Sound quality is not tremendous; but it doesn't cost $200+. Best for the money.

The play back volume is too low. The other brands have a much higher volume. Also It's too difficult to erase stuffs, the other brands are more simpler to erase, one just have to press the erase bottom to erase.

In my son's school most students use voice recorders to record the lectures (students don't have computers or tablets) and they play back the lectures and review them daily. Most of the students have this exact voice recorder and they're all happy with it, including my son. He's on his third one already (one fell and broke) and only wants this one. Also, I only buy it on eBay, since I always get a better price than in the stores.

Nice little recorder. Perfect size for me. Specifically bought because I can monitor via headphones, as I record. Strange as it may sound, I like that it uses batteries. So far, it is easy to use. Will see how it holds ups.

I was just getting used to using it. I took it on a flight and left it in the pocket of the seat. I liked it so much I bought this one immediately. Best 40 bucks I spent in a long time. Microphone is very sensitive. Can pick up a conversation from your pocket. Great product.
