Buy multiple of these recorders for my team and love them

Just got my hands on parcel, and tested some things, like recording from old-timer cassette player, voice recording, recording on PC via USB interface. Everything works perfectly, as intended. Had some confusing experience trying to record sound from wired headset I got with my cellphone (probably due to slightly oxidized contacts), but even this works, though I would not recommend using it as a routine :-) The recorder had some hard time to recognize it as external mic for the first time, but was able to record some noisy voice. Still, with that headset you can listen to your recordings with decent quality, just don't forget co connect it to right hole :-) Anyway, even in regular room with noisy air conditioner you may get very good sound in case you understand some basic recording settings. Built-in speaker, obviously, taking you nowhere in meaning of sound quality, but certainly is useful for organizing purposes. As mentioned in many other reviews, those side volume buttons make noise, and this is not a brilliant idea to shake the recorder while in use with built-in microphones, but I think I can survive that. And while you are waiting for your separately ordered fancy tripod, you may simply lay it on some sort of small pillow, or even some textile folded dozen of times. I think, I may advise getting a windscreen for close-up voice recording or outdoor use. I weren't clever enough to do so, thus I shall control my breath and voice in this case. Overall, the recorder is ergonomic enough to handle, but looks a bit fragile in my opinion, so I won't advise do drop it or to put in heavily stuffed bag. No can say about its durability or actual length of service life, but I believe it will serve me for long enough time. For these very first hours I'm satisfied with the product.

Watched a bunch of review before the purchase. I am not any close to professional, just need to try something for field recording and recording of acoustic music rehearsals. In hands you can see it is rather a cheap product, but still it is built well. Only thing that confuses me is the volume rocker button - it rattles when you shake the device... and be sure this rattling will be captured by internal mics, if you are recording on the go. Probably you can adjust a grip to hold this rocker with a finger or apply some damper thing against it, if you need to record while moving. Recordings i made so far are great (an amateur opinion though). One problem worth mentioning: for some reason it didn't work well with first SD card i put in it (Kingston, 2 GB) - it sporadically added some short loud noise to the record. But this solved when i replaced it with a different card (Sandisk, 32 GB, some fast class).
