    4 out of 5 stars Gets the job done.......2007-05-23

    Kind of cheaply constructed - the controls are a bit weird - and everytime I pick it up I wonder, "Is it broke yet?" I've been able to record conversations accurately and painlessly. The software is "crappy" - but it does the job if you struggle to learn it. My task was to record the conversation, download their format, convert it to mp3/wav for distribution. I used their software to get to the wav, and Audacity to get to the mp3. Their software is pretty good at removing noise to clean up the recording. I've had it about 3 months now, and I still haven't broken it. I keep it in my back pack wrapped in a bandera. (Makes a better case than the sock I was using - and people don't react to the bandera as strongly as they did to the dirty sock.)

    This is a great product for recording notes and has many useful features. It is light and easy to use. I like the option of having a built-in zoom microphone.

    I also have the Olympus equivalent which is more expensive but has benefits such as built-in USB connector (ie no need to carry a cable) and also stereo recording and MP3 playback. Another benefit of the Olympus is that the file format of the recordings are compatible with my PC whereas the Panasonic files require conversion using the software supplied with the unit. The Olympus does not have a built-in zoom mic. and requires only one AAA batery compared with two for the Panasonic.

    1 out of 5 stars awful product.......2007-10-31

    this is a complete waste of money. when i opened it, the recorder rattled, which i decided is a testament to how cheaply made it was. when not in use, the device drained battery power. i left the recorder in my bag over the weekend, and when i took it out to use on monday, the batteries were dead. after three months of use (and many, many replacement batteries) the recorder stopped working altogether. as a replacement i bought a sony recorder with mp3 playback. that is much more satisfactory. i will never purchase another coby product again.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't bother!.......2007-04-19

    I bought this thing years ago when it was $100! it's so crappy, I can't believe they still sell it. You have to be within a few feet of it to get it to record. I bought it for lectures in class, so that was aggravating. The sound quality is awful. If you're willing to go to a professional sound studio digitally to separate what you wanted from all the background noise and static, then maybe you'll like it. I could never get the computer software to work, so I couldn't upload recordings onto my computer. Not that I wanted any of them after I heard the quality. You can get a much higher quality recorder with more memory for just a little more money. Just take the time and shop around.

    1 out of 5 stars Worst product in the market. This is not for you........2004-02-28

    This is my first digital voice recorder(Coby CXR118 IC) and I'm deeply disappointed with it. I was expecting the recording quality of that of my camcorder. The reason I bought this is for the price and PC interface capability. This is the worst product anyone can make. The recording quality is so horrible I cannot recognize my own words after recording with microphone close to your mouth. Menu selection is poorly designed and the user manual is for COBY's Techies. DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT. It does not record voice, it records NOISE.

    1 out of 5 stars Beware - cheaply built, far too hard to use.......2004-02-25

    I am deeply disappointed with my Coby voice recorder. In the past I've used an Olympus model. Based on my experience with that device, the Coby just doesn't stand against the competition. This device is cheaply built. The user interface is almost unusable. The long record quality is terrible. The user manual is next to indecipherable (this from a guy who can figure out just about any device on the market without reading a manual). I'd highly recommend the least expensive Olumpus model over this device. Beware of this one.

    2 out of 5 stars Software won't work.......2004-02-21

    I bought the CX-R188 primarily for the ability to tranfer recordings to my computer. The software did not work. I was not able to transfer files of more than a few minutes in length. I tried the software on multiple computers with no success. Other than this flaw (which was significant for me), the product seems to work OK.

    5 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and good quality at close range........2003-03-02

    A graduate-level class of mine required that I type up notes and post them on a class web page for review. I had a problem. I'm a very poor note taker and tend to gain most of my knowledge from reading and one-on-one discussions with classmates and professors. So, I figured my only hope was to record the classes so I could listen to the things I missed during class.
    I did some searching and this one seemed like the best recorder for the money. I am pleased with my decision. The quality is perfect for voice -- I wouldn't try to bootleg a concert on it. One thing of note generally on the quality of recordings: Although you pick up more distance sounds, you also get static when recording at the "high sensitivity microphone" setting.
    The professor I have has a very deep, loud voice and the classroom is small -- about 600 square feet (approx. 56 square meters).
    You cannot connect this unit digitally to a computer -- you can only use the analog earphone output to an analog "mic" input.
    Here are my results from recording some classes... I recorded on the "high sensitivity" setting at all times because the "low sensitivity" setting just didn't seem to work unless you were speaking very close to the mic. I always recorded with the microphone facing up, with the unit laying on its back on a desk.
    Here are the results I had while recording lectures:
    * When the unit is about 15 to 20 feet from the professor, I can make out most of the lecture during playback. Sometimes, when the professor is speaking away from the class, the sound fades out.
    * When the unit is about 10 to 15 feet from the professor, I can hear all of the lecture during playback. Occasionally I had to rewind to make out a few words.
    * When the unit is about 5 to 10 feet from the professor, I can hear all of the lecture during playback. I had no problems at all listening to any of the lecture.

    In all of the above cases, I could not hear student questions unless the students were sitting right next to me.

    I hope this helps people make a decision in purchasing a digital recorder.

    4 out of 5 stars For the price, it serves it's purpose........2003-01-18

    .... Sound quality: not much better than a microcassette in the same price range. Size and weight: very light and compact. Recording time: up to 150 minutes. High and low mic sensitivity.
    Now, being a realistic person, I did not expect crystal clarity. I DID expect a unit that was light and small enough to carry in a shirt pocket, and one that was convenient to operate. I have used the unit for recording meetings (high sensitivity), and for dictating ideas when they occur to me. For these purposes, the unit works very well. Having realistic expectations, I am quite satisfied with the recorder. If one wants better sound quality and the ability to download to a computer, expect to pay for these features; I've done some research, and you can expect to pay $150.00 and up for such a unit.
    Perhaps some see the word "digital" and ideas of crystal-clean audio come to mind. Having recorded in studios both in analog and digitally for many years, I certainly didn't expect high frequency noise supression in a tiny unit costing fifty bucks!
    The convenience of an inexpensive unit such as the ICD-B5 is surprisingly small size and weight, pretty incredible recording lengths, and saying goodbye to the inconvenience and cost of microcassettes. Being able to essentially overdub a recording comes in quite handy at times, as does being able to locate files quickly (no fast forward - reverse frustrations).
    I write music and fiction. I wanted a device that I could easily record thoughts and ideas before they were gone forever. I got what I paid for, and I'm quite happy with it.
    If you expect more, expect to pay for. This is pocket-size consumer electronics for fifty bucks, folks. For what it is and was designed for - and with realistic expectations - it's not a bad deal.

    3 out of 5 stars Good for basic use.......2003-01-17

    I work for three magazines and use this recorder for professional, demanding work. Before purchasing the Sony ICD-B5, I shopped around quite a bit and heard good things about this particular recorder (Consumer Reports, etc.). Although the reviews were accurate in their positive points, unfortunately, only people needing just the basics should think about purchasing this product.

    There are a few major things that Sony -- and other manufacturers of these recorders -- need to take into consideration (honestly, I haven't really found the ideal solution for my needs).

    The Sony ICD-B5 is lacking in the following areas:

    * No "slow play" feature which many microcassette recorders sport. You have a choice of "Play" or "Stop"/"Pause"... that's it.

    * Due to the fact that you have no "slow play," you are constantly having to hit "Pause" during playback (if you're taking notes), which wastes a lot of time and [uses] through the batteries VERY quickly. An hour and a half to two hours of interviews, including playback, and the batteries are [gone].

    * The recorder has a jack that's labeled "Plug-In Power" but no one, including Sony, sells the power adapter needed.

    * If you're careless and accidentally tap the "Rewind" button twice, it takes you back to the very beginning of the recording. VERY ANNOYING. Then you have to fast forward back to where you were. More time and batteries wasted. They should have a button that will take you back to the last spot in the recording that you were listening.

    * Slow fast forward and rewind -- I expected something tremendously better for digital. Unfortunately, these two functions act just like they do on a microcassette. Slow and tedious.

    I gave this item 3 stars because, honestly, the other digital recorders I've seen don't seem to be that much better.

    4 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for!.......2003-01-11

    Summary: despite lack of certain potentially important features, this unit gets the job done for a great price.

    ...Previous reviewers have a good point about the sound quality being sub-par. I certainly wouldn't dare try to record music with it. However, it is *more* than adequate for voice notes and relatively close-range voice recording.

    I tried to record a class lecture with it from my seat at the back of the room and the results were not that great. I'm sure that if I would have set it near the professor, it would have come out just fine....

    This unit does not have VOX (voice-operated recording, to save space and battery life when recording lectures or meetings). Personally, I'll live without this, as I don't think I'd be able to fill up the whole 2.5 hours in a day and I'm using rechargeable batteries. ...

    There are some great Sony features like the ability to split up (index) a single recording and the ability to do the reverse, join two messages together. Also, the unit allows you to go back to a message (say, message 31 of 55) and add more to it's end. This is really nice in case you need it, which if you are keeping reminders to yourself, you probably will.

    The folders feature is nice, as well. Though there are only two of them, as compared to other, more expensive units which have five or more, they're good enough for me.

    I...I realized that if I wanted to archive my voice recordings, all I'd need to do is stick a standard minijack cable between the unit's headphone output and my computer's soundcard, open up a sound recording program and hit "record." Of course, the sound quality won't be quite as good as the actual file in the unit itself, but then again we're not talking about DVD-Audio-quality sound here, anyways.

    In all, this is a great unit. Yes, the whole thing feels a touch flimsy, but this also contributes to it's pleasant *lack* of weight. A great buy on a great unit.

    1 out of 5 stars worst software.......2007-11-21

    It is a nice recorder. the software is a nightmare. it makes a very simple thing easy. I bought it to record a lecture and burn to cd which is apparently an impossible task. Software is terrible. do not buy!

    5 out of 5 stars Recorder review.......2007-10-04

    This recorder is the perfect, light weight recorder with plenty of space to store hours of material. I have used it for both inividual interviews and focus group meetings and in each instance the recording was tremendous. The functionality of the device is simple and even without reading the instruction book I was able to figure out how to use it. Downloading to your computer is simple and takes very little time. I would encourage anyone looking for a quality digital device to consider this one as it is lightweight and durable. Batteries seem to go somewhat quickly so I might encouage people to consider rechargable batteries as an option to save some money long term. Ideal for people doing interviews for their dissertation or other research studies.

    3 out of 5 stars Quality recorder with a few weaknesses.......2007-08-28

    I have used my Panasonic RR-US380 for about 2 years and have been happy with the performance of this product. The quality of the audio is above average ( I tried about 8 different models) and compression of the sound file is very efficient. If you plan on using it for personal use it would be a good choice.

    If you want to use it in a business setting I would not recommend it. The problem is the proprietary file types that Panasonic uses cannot be played with anything other then their software. You can convert to .wav but it's an extra step that shouldn't be needed. They do offer a player you can give to someone with the files but I've never been able to get it to work.

    The other big problem is the access rights the software requires. It can not be used by multiple users on a single PC running Windows XP. It must be run by someone with administrator rights who installed it. If I install it and run it, and you have administrator rights, it still will not run correctly for you. If you don't have admin rights forget about it. So essentially only one person can use the software (and thus the Panasonic RR-US380) on each computer which causes a problem if you have shared computers. The software is powerful and easy to use but my business had to get rid of the Panasonic recorders for theses 2 reasons.

    3 out of 5 stars Great product, horrible support.......2006-09-14

    I've had my rr-us380 for almost a year and recently needed to reinstall the voice editing software. When I couldnt find the installer cd I assumed I'd be able to download from the panasonic site, after all the software would only really be useful to someone who had bought their hardware. After a frustrating amount of time looking for that I finally landed on an email form for support and sent an email asking how I could obtain the software. Actually, the form didn't give any feedback after hitting submit so I kind of assumed I had sent...
    Two days later I called their toll free number at 1-800-211-pana and spent a good half hour wending from parts to support to other departments through their jeckyl and jeeves like voice menu system (which doesnt "understand" operator or other or...). Support sent me to sales, sales disconnected me, then sales sent me to support. Finally Katy in sales broke the news to me: the part (for the software I can only use on the device I bought from them) is $25 plus shipping of $6... for something I had hoped I'd quickly download off their site. (Note that the "manual" is a single 11x16 page you -can- download free as a pdf. All I need here is the software installer.)
    That is really horrible service. They could have gotten me for the $25 particularly if I hadn't had to have -worked- so hard to find out it would cost me (and especially if it was a key for immediate download...) but having to work to find that I would have to pay for software media (the software I already own...) was really bad. Then there's the $6 "handling" fee that tells me I'll have to wait on some delivery service rather then downloading... grrrr....
    That said I'll confess: this is great hardware. It's extremely convenient and the software (despite a -horrible- glitzy and unintuitive interface) it extremely usefull. I'm going to go now, and talk myself into buying an Olympus. But I'm not sure I'll succeed (they might still get their $31 filthy lucre from me).

    4 out of 5 stars Save a lot of typing.......2006-03-03

    I bought this to replace my micro-cassette recorder for a series of 1 on 1 interviews not knowing the great software that comes with it. While on the road I loaded the software and as a previous reviewer states it is alot to get through. However, if you want to dictate your own papers this is a great system. The speech recognition software did not help much for the interviews, but my own work afterwards writing up the results was "greatly" reduced.

    The intial setup of voice recognition is long, cumbersome and sometimes frustrating as the software tries to learn your speech patterns (and using the learning/training software multiple times helps accuracy ALOT), but it was no different with ViaVoice and MS voice recognition software. Once the software knows your voice prepare to type very little. I was writing a paper and decided to see what would happen. I talked (rambled) for about 65 minutes total. The system recognized about 97% of my speech. I transferred the translated speech file to my word processor and let it find the grammatical/structural errors and then I went through the paper while listening to the speech on my computer. I stopped and made corrections as needed. The freedom to just talk rather than stop to type up my thoughts as I went along was incredible.

    If you are in a place where transcribing your own words takes up much of your time (graduate student, small business owner) this recorder and the included software is terrific. For the classroom, I use it as a backup to my notes. The microphone picks up everything so sometimes it can be frustrating. One interview picked up a wall clock ticking about 10 feet away.

    Plan on spending a few minutes getting used to the buttons, menus and functions of the recorder itself, but most of it is reasonably intuitive. The multiple subdirectories makes working on different projects a real joy. You can be dictating/working on one topic, get a brainstorm, change to another directory say what you want and get back to your original work with almost no effort. Then when you hook up to your computer to transfer the files all your wit and wisdom is saved separately. It does take some mental gymnastics to work your way around the computer file transfer portion (just read the PDF file a couple times and pay attention to the direction arrows on the screen) but that gets eaiser with repetition.

      3 out of 5 stars Three and a Half Stars.......2005-12-04

      Bought this for lectures. I usually sit at the back, but the sound quality is still pretty decent. The playback feature is neat (also very funny with the Chipmunk-ish voice)...haha. Anyway, the person who said their batteries didn't drain that much must be confused! This little sucker used up my batteries every two weeks! Oi! Another bad thing is that it feels flimsy--you know, like cheap plastic--and scratches easily. I can't compare to any other recorder because this is my first & only recorder. Not exactly 4 stars, but deserves more than 3.

      5 out of 5 stars Great recorder for the price.......2005-02-21

      Works well and has all the features I need. The sound is clear and it holds a lot of voice memos. I use it to record things I think of while in my car - reminders, business ideas, to do list, etc. Battery life seems adeauate also.

      5 out of 5 stars An Art Bell fan.......2004-10-12

      After reading many reviews, I decided to give this unit a try. I have been more than impressed, with no regrets. The quality is even better than I expected and I have already recorded some great Art Bell programs (they run 4 hours long) when set to LP mode. Sony rates it at 5 hours and 39 seconds of recording time in LP mode.

      Art Bell fans, remember that when listening to the playback of an already recorded long program, that you insert an index marker every once in a while, so that if you need to stop and listen to it later, you can go directly to that index marker. If you do not insert an index marker occassionally, you will have to playback the entire recording from the beginning! It also has a speedy playback feature (chipmunk like) that is very understandable.

      I bought my unit at Office Max as a clearance sale item for $49 dollars. It only has mono sound, but then I only use it for recording talk radio anyway. Do take the effort to buy gold connector plugs on the patch cord from your radio to the unit to make sure you have minimum distortion. My only wish, is that it had an AC adaptor. It takes two AAA batteries.

      5 out of 5 stars Good Recorder for recording lectures ..........2003-09-10

      I wanted a recorder which could record 2 hours lectures. I have looked and looked. A good recorder is very expensive. This one fits my budget, and the sound is much more clear than my old Plansonic digital rcorder. I got it from Office Max. I have tried for several lectures. They served the purposes right. The sound quality is clear enough for me to write down notes even though it is not stereo. It is the only recorder that is under 100 bucks that can do a decent recording. This is not the recorder for recording music, though. If you need a recorder to record lectures, go for this one. I am very happy for the quality, easy to use, and the amount of money that I spent. However, there is a design flaw. If you hit the record key while you actually want to hit the pause key that next to it, your original recording is gone. They call it overwrite feature. But, it is stupid to have the record key next to the pause key.

      5 out of 5 stars Awsome product for light use!.......2003-06-20

      My recorder gets light use. I use it for making grocery lists, to-do lists or when Im out and want to remember something interesting when I get home -- just basically anything I want to remember. I say its light use because I dont record long meetings or anything like that but it did go off in my pocketbook one time without me knowing(you can program it so that doesnt happen accidentally but I never bothered)and it actually recorded my whole grocery shopping trip with my little daughter and I could hear everything we talked about and all her singing and such very clearly. A previous review said something about not being able to turn off the display drained the batteries BUT Its been 5 months and Ive had to change the batteries once and the current battery reads more than half full. My only complaint would be that the clock is a 24 hour clock. Otherwise - this is a great little tool for those of you who just want help remembering things.

        3 out of 5 stars not bad, but not very durable.......2003-10-04

        Mine is dead after just a few months. I left it in a business attache bag which I carry around, and simply forgot about it for about 2 months. When I did remember about it and tried to turn it on, it wouldn't even turn on. Already tried to change the battery but to no avail.

        That said, it was pretty good while it worked. I'd agree that the LP mode gives you a heck of a lot of distortion, and on the much better SP mode the total recording time is only 30 minutes or so. I was using it mainly to take down notes for myself while driving---shopping and to-do lists, etc.

        The controls are well laid out, easy to figure out how to use it. My only gripe: I wish they'd provided four separate buttons for stop/ff/rw/play instead of one big circular one---it was not a very touch-accurate, sometimes you'd get a different function then the one you wanted.

        4 out of 5 stars Good little recorder for the money..........2002-09-05

        I purchased the Panasonic RR-QR120 on the spur of the moment at Office Max on sale for ($$$). I had done some earlier research on digital recorders, and was actually thinking of going with the Sony DW-90. Depending on your needs, that may be a better choice if you need to record, say, a classroom lecture and then download it. For short recordings, however, this fills the bill.

        I work as an airport police officer and have carried a microcassette recorder for several years. They work reasonably well, but I wanted to see how a digital recorder would work. I used this recorder in the noisy airport terminal environment to record some interactions with people and was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the recording was as good or better than the microcassette recordings we make. Carried in a shirt pocket, I was able to record conversations with very good clarity. I also hooked an external microphone to the unit and taped some more. In Standard play mode, very good results. In high quality, crystal clear. In the LP mode, however, the quality is so poor as to be virtually unusable in most every application. You could dictate with the unit in LP mode, but even that has poor, distorted sound quality. Jump to SP or HQ and you get great results.
        Recording time is not as long as I would have chosen had I done more research. The advertising on the package in large letters boasts 105 minutes recording time (in the basically worthless LP mode). No way you would be able to record a classroom lecture or business meeting in that mode-- you simply would not be able to understand the playback.
        Thus, this is a very good recorder provided your needs do not exceed the 33+/- minutes provided in SP mode. In HQ mode, you get about 17 minutes.
        Controls work well and are logically placed. The unit is very light and small and fits in a shirt pocket with ease. It has voice activated recording which will help you conserve your limited time allotment, and a host of other features I have not played with ( timer recording and playback, for instance).
        It uses 2 AAA batteries-- I don't know how long they last as I have had the unit only a short time. However, I expect your battery life would be pretty good.
        I copied some of the HQ and SQ recordings onto microcassette tape, simply by putting the speaker of the Panasonic recorder up near the microphone of my microcassette recorder. It made a surprisingly good quality recording and would be adequate if you needed to permanently archive a recording for later use.
        In summary, if you simply need to make short recordings and want a lightweight, simple unit, this little recorder should do nicely. If you need more recording time or want to archive your recordings, go with something akin to the Sony DW-90.
