    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
    Size: 48GBVerified Purchase
    I injured my shoulder a few months ago in a car accident and this recorder saved me from typing all day at a computer and causing more strain on my shoulder. As a professor this came in very handy! I was able to give my students oral feedback on their assignments using the Garmay recorder. It records for long hours without having to charge it and the sound quality is great. It is very simple to download voice files to the computer and to email them. I love also being able to read long documents in bed or wherever is comfortable and just use the recorder with its pause feature to ruminate over a thought before recording. It allows me to create single voice files as notes on a reading without long periods of silent air time between thoughts. I also love the cute, small size of this recorder which fits in the hand very easily. My only wish is that I would have bought this sooner. This recorder has been a godsend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great rechargeable recorder, but a bit heavy to hold
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023
    Size: 80GBVerified Purchase
    I've used the recorder a few times and I am satisfied with the quality. I was surprised at how heavy it is to hold. I suppose, that's because it has a rechargeable battery. It is about the same weight as a cellphone. Not buying batteries is a big plus, but you are limited by needing a usb cord for charging and needing to remember to charge it up. I haven't used it long enough to judge the life of the battery charges.

    It was easy to use the first time. My voice picked up well and clearly.

    A feature not found on some recorders is button labeling on the back. That will probably wear off, but by then the user should be able to remember what button does what. That feature is certainly nice to have while learning the ins and out of this recorder.

    Since I've only had it a short while, I can't speak to the longevity, but it is a convenient size that can easily slip into a shirt pocket, purse etc. It is about 1.5 wide and about as long as my fingers and can be easily held in my hand.

    With my short time useage, I'm pleased.

    I bought the Garmay vice recorder last week and I'm very happy with it. It's easy to use, has a clear sound quality and can record for hours without running out of battery. I use it for my interviews, lectures and podcasts and it never lets me down. It's also very compact and lightweight, so I can carry it around in my pocket or bag. The Garmay vice recorder is definitely worth the money and I recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable and high-performance device.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Many pros and cons; its value will depend on your needs
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2023
    Size: 48GBVerified Purchase
    I wanted to replace a Sony pocket notes recorder which I otherwise liked for two reasons: (1) the display was practically invisible outdoors, even out of bright sunlight (2) no built-in speaker to check recordings

    Garmay pocket recorder summary:

    PROS
    (1) 1 x 1 inch display is visible in all but the brightest outdoor conditions. For me, the lack of a bright display is a deal killer for some other makes and models. If you only use the device indoors, this might not be important to you.
    (2) Metal case -- seems pretty rugged
    (3) Built in speaker for monitoring
    (4) Very large memory with slot for SDHC card (I haven't checked if the "3343 hours" claim is true for low bitrate mp3, that's about 140 full weeks of solid recordings).

    CONS
    (1) Not stereo. The device records stereo MP3 or WAV files. However, in all cases the left and right channels contain identical data. (Verified by opening files in Sound Forge Pro, and subtracting left from right channel, result is always a file of zero samples.)
    (2) There's no mic or other audio input.
    (3) Start delay. There is an 8-10 second delay when starting recording for the first time in several days. If you use it every day, the delay is 1-2 seconds. This doesn't affect my particular use, but others have mentioned it. (Also, there is some minor noise generated if you press Save while recording, it seems best to press the Pause button then Save.)
    (4) For both MP3 and WAV formats, at sensitivity levels of two or more, average level speech causes overloads in the audio signal. (For instance, out of 11M samples, 81000 are overloads.) I haven't checked sensitivity level 1.
    (5) The sensitivity of the WAV format is so great that handling the device, or any low frequency energy in the environment, appears in the file.
    (6) After about 6 months of average use, the legends are wearing off the buttons!
    (7) A very minor nitpick: there's a bar graph display that is active when recording or playing, but note that the values of the bars have nothing to do with the signal level or frequency content. In fact the display animates in the same way even when you are recording or playing silence.

    I do like the convenience of the recorders that have a retractable USB-A connector built into the housing. This one depends on a USB-C cable.

    I don't know how well it would work for recording music live. I think it would depend on the instrumentation, amplification, and acoustics. I only use the device for note taking.

    For the terrifically low price of this (I paid $37 in 2022) I can highly recommend it subject to above comments.

    Der GARMAY Digital Voice Recorder bietet eine beeindruckende Aufnahmekapazität, aber die Klangqualität enttäuscht bei entfernten Geräuschen. Es scheint, als ob der Recorder den Preis nicht recht rechtfertigt. Es erfüllt seinen Zweck, aber ich hätte mir mehr erwartet.

    Ottimo prodotto, facile da usare, comodo da portare, non occupa troppo spazio. Ho acquistato anche la custodia per una maggiore sicurezza. Lo usa mio figlio per l'università.
