  • Small and effective!
I purchased this for work. It works perfect! It’s the size of my palm, has great sound and I still haven’t had to charge it. The recorder is not uncomfortable to hold in hand or in pocket. It looks nice and works extremely well.

  • Very handy and easy to use. Good sound quality.
I keep this unit in my shirt pocket most of the time. I find that when I am driving a car, I frequently think of things I need or want to do, or have ideas. This is a great way to capture them. My first unit worked well, until I dumped it in some water. I have kept my current recorder dry and it is working fine. I find that the "music" setting gives the best sound reproduction. Additionally, I can play back dictations made with the music setting into my iPad dictation (Pages). Comes out pretty much correct. Interesting! ... show more

  • conflicting info on mac apple compatability-i have macbook air early 2015
when I searched reviews and questions for mac or apple, I saw some people saying, yes it's compatible! and others giving one star reviews saying it's not compatible. well i JUST opened this, did a quick test recording and then hooked it up to my macbook air. The icon for this recorder showed on my desktop, I found and opened the file, and it's in m4a, which isn't compatible with apple's quicktime. But you can then easily google "convert m4a to mp3" or whatever format you want if you dont want mp3 and youll see plenty of free websites that convert the file easily and freely (but i dont know what the data conversion limit is - like would it convert a half hour conversation for free?). you just drag over the m4a file into the website that does free conversions, choose what file type you want to convert it to, and then click download. for me, converting to mp3 made the file open in music (formerly called itunes), and if i converted to (i think) aac it opened in the books app. might depend on your computer etc. the sound i thought was crappy until i googled how to raise the volume. the sound quality of just my voice was pretty good when i opened it in apple music! i haven't tested it talking with someone else. i love that you can just quickly toggle the recording button and it starts recording, no fumbling or waiting. it did automticaly prompt me to set date and time which i did easily, but i see when i oened the m4a file on my computer, it showed like a 2016 date or something, not july 9 2021 as i had put. So.......this might be good if i want to snippet something down, as a backup to my iphone voice memos app. BUt...i'm leery of always having to convert m4a to another file type, just not knowing how heavy the files will be and if converting the files will always be free. so if i had to record an important half hour conversation, i dont know if this would work. i guess i'll just have to test it. i LOVE the simplicity of it though. in the voice memos app on my iphone, if i record something in voice memo i could just email the recording to myself, i dont have to hook anything up - this machine doesnt have that. but i was planning to use this to record phone calls, which i cant do with voice memos while im on a call. i know my review isn't complete bc i havent fully tested it yet but just wanted to get this out there for macbook people. im inclined to search for something like this machine - simple - that outputs file types that are apple compatible just for ease of use. but it's lightweight and seems like battery is long lasting and easy to use (besides having to do the file conversion which is annoying) so if i cant find anything better i'll keep it. ... show more

  • Reliable and reasonable cost
I love this product because it is RELIABLE. The battery indicator in the window lets you know when the batteries are low in charge and need changing. The quality of sound reproduction is excellent. There are recorders with more bells and whistles - but this recorder has been my "go to" recorder.

  • Can't "lock out" the record button so it may activate by accident in your pocket
Good sound, easy to use, BUT huge design flaw (for me, anyway) in that the RECORD button just slides up and down with no way to secure it. Since I carry this with me everywhere, it's really annoying to pull it out of my pants pocket to make a note to myself, only to find out that it's been recording for 20 minutes in my pocket. Easy to delete the file, but still annoying and it depletes the battery. Recorder is pretty small and fits well in my hand so that's a plus. If it had a way to lock the RECORD button I would've given this 5 stars overall, but, alas. That said, if you carry it in a breast pocket or jacket pocket (though probably not a purse as I'd think you'd run the same risk of accidental activation), you'll probably not have any issues with errant recordings. Another plus of the Olympus compared to some other recorders I've tried, is that there is very little lag from when you activate recording until it's ready to actually start the recording process. Some others that I've tried literally take 5-7 seconds FOR EACH STEP before they start recording whereas this one is almost instantaneous. Was quite annoying with my previous recorders to have to count to 5 after turning it on and then count to 7 before I could start my note. Huge plus for the Olympus on that feature. ... show more

  • Recording switch is EASY (but not likely to get activated by accident)
A unique and clever design I’ve not seen before on one of these is the RECORD switch. That’s right, it’s NOT a button like most have. It’s a toggle. Slide it to start recording. Slide it back to Stop. Thanks to the 4-way navigation buttons on the front, navigating menus and features is far simpler than most other brands/models (especially those with navigation — up/down/select — on the side). ... show more
