COVVY Portable Digital Voice Recorder Sound Audio Recorder Dictaphone LCD Recorder MP3 Player-8GB (Black)

What a great little recorder/player. The quality of the recordings are 90% as good as my Sony. Maybe 95%. It does take a little longer to switch on and start recording, though.It has a useful backlight which my Sony doesn't have, but is 10x harder to operate (although both are super easy to record on, which is the most important thing). Once you know how to operate it it's okay, but you will have to put a little effort in. It is worth it, though.It is less than a third of the price of the Sony (which although a Japanese company disappointingly says on the back 'made in china'!). Whether the components are of the same quality and will last, only time will tell. Chinese goods, unless made under licence, are not known for their longevity. I do, however, have some chinese gadgets that are years old, so fingers crossed.Some useful features include record led on/off, equaliser, bit rate selection and voice activated recordings. This last is brilliant as you have the ability to set the activation level and it never cuts off any part of the first word (like the Sony, I think it records a couple of seconds and just keeps overwriting it until it picks up a noise or voice).

+ Much smaller than expected+ Good sound quality for personal notes/meetings- Only a single folder for recordings- No facility to add to an existing voice note

ideal gift for friend

Not the best made item, sound quality is ok but it’s inexpensive so you can not expect anything more than it is. Yes it’s value for the money you pay and did what I needed it for so I was happy.

Purple Recorder Doesn't Use format for Most standard Media Players.These items are poorly made and fall apart within weeks if used daily, not worth the money spent.What is even more annoying is that the Purple Recorder, for some weird reason records on a different file format and is NOT compatible with most Media Players for playback. More hassle and expense transferring recordings.If you can afford it, buy a more expensive brand, something that is better value for money, because if the buttons don't fall off, the connection will break for the data cable and you can't recover your recordings. You will also need to replace audio jack cable from phone very regularly as these break very easily.You will have to buy another one soon. If your happy to replace unit every couple of months for daily use; knock yourself out!Honestly, anyone leacing a positive review hasn't had the item very long, and yes there is a delay in switching the unit on for call recordings and sometimes the unit will just cut out during calls for no apparatus reason.

This voice recorder is really quite even when the volume is on full so i would not recommend it to anyone who is hard of hearing other wise it's okay and quite easy to use

as it picks up low sounds easily, its best to use it placed onto a table etc, if u use it holding it, it picks up sounds of ur movements,breathing,walking ,tis good though,battery lasts ages aswell

it's small lightweight and easy to carry. so far so good, the earphones are good and transferring mp3 files to listen too is not bad! one thing i'd love is to get folders in it, but renaming files works just fine! will use this for everyday use.

Sound quality was a little less quality but the price reflects and we were extremely happy to have it for what we needed.

Pas super comme appareil mais convient si on est pas trop exigent

Pratico ed economico, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, durata infinita. Ideale per intervisteDa trascrivere

Das Gerät ist sehr handlich. Nur ist die Anleitung nur in Englisch.

Soy opositor y la uso para grabarme mientras canto los temas y me funciona perfectamente para ello. La calidad de reproducción es buena y clara. Tiene muchas funciones e incluso viene un micrófono de solapa y unos auriculares como complementos extra. Además, la batería se carga mediante cable lo cual es un plus, antes tenía una grabadora a pilas y tenía que comprarle pilas nuevas frecuentemente.No entiendo las críticas sobre si el plástico es muy malo o parece de juguete. Para mí está perfectamente en cuanto a calidad de los materiales. Algunos quizás esperaban por este precio que les trajeran a casa el estudio de grabación de Beyoncé.
