Great Stereo Sound!
By Future RNVerified Buyer from Warren, Pa on 11/11/2009
Pros:
Compact Design, High Quality Sound, Long Battery Life, Reliable
Best Uses:
Conversations, Lectures
Describe Yourself:
Tech Savvy
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Olympus WS-400S 1GB Digital Recorder:

I am a nursing student and I sit in the middle of a classroom made for for about 80 people. I keep the recorder on my table during lectures and I hear everything perfectly. With the stereo microphone, I get a quality stereo sound especially when I listen with the headphones. It feels like I am right back in the classroom. There is background noise from other students, but it is because I am in the middle of the classroom and I can still hear the instructor just as loud as I would normally. I like hearing the other students because I can hear their questions. I could not imagine a recorder sounding any better!

Exactly what I needed
By BJ from Back woods of Pa on 10/20/2009
Pros:
Compact Design, High Quality Sound, Long Battery Life, Reliable
Cons:
Picks Up Background Noise
Best Uses:
Concerts, Conversations
Describe Yourself:
Musician
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Olympus WS-400S 1GB Digital Recorder:

I play bass as well as guitar, and I use this product to record practice cd's of our band so I can practice our music at home between practices. When downloaded onto a cd, the sound quality is great. When recording live though, the recorder does pick up a lot of the background noise from the audience. It may be that I have just not figured out how to set the settings to buffer it out yet though. It works so wonderful that we are going to use it to record and make ourselves some demo cd's, that way we can hand them out to get ourselves more gigs. Over all, I couldn't be happier.

Good value for the price
By Gene the writerVerified Buyer from Woodbury, MN on 8/5/2009
Pros:
Compact Design, Long Battery Life, Reliable
Cons:
Can't get the volume high
Best Uses:
Guitar sessions and memos
Describe Yourself:
Tech Savvy
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Olympus WS-400S 1GB Digital Recorder:

I bought this to record acoustic guitar practice sessions and to record ideas, thoughts, etc., while driving or working out. I'm still learning all the features, but it seems to work fine. I wish the buttons were a little bigger, and I can't seem to get the volume very loud for playback. I haven't tried to download my recordings into my computer yet, but if that works like it should, I'll be happy with this unit.
