It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the massive amount of digital voice recorder choices today. Not to worry though, we can narrow this down some by answering a few simple questions. Here are a few of some of the best choices the market now has to offer. The first of my digital voice recorder reviews…
Olympus Digital Voice Recorder VN 6200PC
Here’s a real sleek looking recorder that resembles more of a cell phone than it does a recorder. The 6200PC model is PC because it is connectible to your computer and transfer and send files between the two. You are able switch from high quality to standard and long playback for extended recording time. Up to 444 total hours!
The voice activation system that it is equipped with allows you to record much more of the important stuff and no quiet time which will save you even more room to record.
And I said it looks like a cell phone because of its large LCD display which will show you the battery life, recording state, and to rummage through the other files.
This particular voice recorder is on sale and is currently the best seller on Amazon.
Sony ICD-PX720 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link
This recorder too has capabilities to plug into PC systems to transfer file data. There are plenty of functions that you can control from your PC like recording formats, the volume and sensitivity of the microphone, and renaming files.
Sony has made this digital recorder to also function as an mp3 player. It has a head phone jack and all the capabilities that any mp3 player would have.
But the important part about this Sony digital recorder is the fact that the playback is so pristine and clear. It will work great for students in a large class room with a low volume professor.
The Sony ICD –PX720 is the 2nd best selling recorder on Amazon is for sale around $47.
Sony ICD-BX700 Digital Voice Recorder
I know what you are thinking and no, this is not a review of the same recorder. Sony it appears has several models in this community that are selling like hot cakes and for good reason…these are both outstanding digital recorders.
The BX-700 does not link directly into your computer through a USB port. This means that the transferability of files is done through the audio itself via a mini mic jack. So if you wanted to transfer it to audio files on your computer, the recorded lecture, interview or whatever you have will literally take as long as the recording itself.
Besides that, the quality is great and it records up to 280 hours of time and detects sounds that its counterpart just won’t.
You’ll find this item #3 on Amazon for around $34.
