Olympus VN-2100PC Digital Voice Recorder with microphone

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Voice Recorders
from: Olympus

August 21, 2007
This is not compatible with Explorer or Windows Media. It has to be used on machines that have downloaded the Digital Wave Software (disc included) therefore it would be extremely cumbersome to use this on any but your own personal PC as that would require downloading software wherever you go. I doubt whether the saved files could be e-mailed.

Apart from that, the quality of playback is extremely poor. It is very hard to hear what is being said on the recorder.

It is very light and plasticky in feel. Not recommended.

Olympus WS-311M Digital Voice Recorder

i just got this recorder and find it superb. the device is tiny, light and "dupont lighter"-stylish. i particularly like the metal buttons, much more tactile that plastic one - i know it is a small thing. I like the five-line display which provides a lot of information compared to another device i used.
now for the great part, the integrated micros are great, and the stereo effect is really a bonus. This is especially the case if you later listen with earphones.
the time elapsed versus the length of the file are displayed clearly and legibly.
i did invest in a little carry case and i am glad i did because that way i can throw the recorder into a bag and still keep it pristine.
i find the 'hold' button more positive ... Read More:

Olympus ME-15 Tie Clip Microphone

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Voice Recorders
from: Olympus

October 19, 2005
General description

Although this is a mono-microphone, it's very well suited for general higher- quality voice recordings with a WS -class 'Olympus' digital voice recorder. The microphone takes some power from the device as it operates, so its fidelity is better than you would think from just looking at the size of the device. Its colour is black and with a metallic tie clip, so it's easy to place. I would however avoid getting the microphone wet or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Why use this microphone?

If you use an Olympus digital recorder, other people as well have noticed that it's hard to boost the input levels for recordings that use 'Voice-activation'. If you apply this microphone, the input level ... Read More:

Sony Compact Tape Recorder Silver

I used this machine for recording interviews as part of my social science studies and, although considerably cheaper when I bought mine, it is a good basic tape recorder with good sound quality and an excellent range. I don't see any point spending more money if this is the kind of thing you are going to use it for.

Zoom H2 Handy Stereo Field Recorder

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Voice Recorders
from: Samson


I completely agree with "robin Hood's" review. Its a fantastic piece of kit for the money.

I also got mine from Absolute Music Solutions and it came with a UK power adapter as well as usb cables etc. Mine also even came with some small in-ear headphones. Free delivery was extremely fast. I ordered on bank holiday monday and it arrived on wednesday morning. The company sent me numerous emails letting me know when the H2 was dispatched and keeping me updated as to its E.T.A. I would definitely buy from them again. I also bought a Transcend 8Gb SDHC card which works perfectly. If you check Zoom's japanese website there is a list of compatable cards including Transcend's 16Gb card.

Sony Microphone

Having read many reviews before purchasing this microphone I have to say that the previous comments are totally accurate. I wanted a mike that I could use with my PC to dub over videos that I edit prior to burning to disc. Previous mikes have allowed the hum of the PC hard drive to be detected and this has been eradicated with the mike. Setting the control to 90deg allows me to have total control over the input with no outside nosie interference. I have also used this mike in a church wedding via my Camcorder where previously the dialog of a church service has been difficult due to high ceilings and lots of echo. Using a 10m extension cable with no loss of qaulity I am highly delighted with the results. I aslo think the price is excellent.

Olympus WS-331M Digital Voice Recorder

It does what it claims.

This is the second Olympus we've bought; our previous one was the 1Gig WS320M, now a year old and still working beautifully in everyday use.

If one sets the record quality to be the highest (ST XQ), with the Bass-Cut filter off and the mics in Conference mode, then the recordings make excellent stereo when played back on a PC with good speakers (eg I use Logitech X230).

The quality is also good enough through the (surprisingly durable) supplied earpieces, with a bit of bass EQ added, if you have ear-holes big enough (17mm dia) to accommodate them! But I use my trusty old AKG240 headphones, which are far more comfortable (if a bit lacking in sensitivity for this machine) and allow ... Read More:
