Recorder has low volume, a lot of static and hard to hear what you have recorded. I am disappointed in the Sony ICD-BX Recorder. Staples is one of my favorite places to shop. My review is not about Staples my review is about Sony, Sony has always had great products, this is not one of them.

I have an ancient tape Dictaphone which is about 3 times better than this. Read reviews and am amazed there were so many good ones. It may be faulty but I can hear nothing but a loud drone and if I hadn't thrown out the packaging it would have been returned. The only place for this is the bin.

I brought this to place in my pocket for meetings which i need to listen rather than take lots of notes. On play back the sound is very clear and i can review meetings and actions. Very pleased with this easy use digital voice recorder.

Don't waste your money on this item at 5 foot away it does not pick up good enough to understand what is being said.

I bought this recorder a week ago and I am so happy

Easy to use and works perfectly! I love the voice recording mode that just records when it hears voices. No need to start and pause yourself, it does that for you.

I bought this for my wife, she is a bible study leader and often has to quote scripture, she is blissfully happy with this little device, says it makes her job MUCH easier.

Compact Design; High Quality Sound; Long Battery Life; Makes Study Easier; Reliable

I have never had the need to own a Dictaphone up till now. It is a wonderful device and works really well. I am a very satisfied customer.

Looking for a new voice recorder Get Sony ICD-BX140 model capture clear sound with minimal effort. Its compact design is portable, while its performance is excellently well. If you are a professional, student or reporter recorder Sony ICD-BX140 model can perform very good.
