The Sony ICD-BX140 digital voice recorder is a super affordable and portable voice recorder from a reliable brand.

Affordable, Reliable brand, Reduced wind filter, Voice activated recording

Only 4GB memory, Mono microphone, No file transfer option

This handy little device is only mono in that it only has one mic & one speaker. Plug a stereo signal into the mic jack, set it to SHQ recording mode, and it DOES record in stereo. I knew this recorder was available for about 2 years before I bought it.

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.

My brother had me order this for his girlfriend. She just needed a basic recorder for making notations when she didn't have time or couldn't write them down. She is thrilled with it. It does not have all the features of the more expensive models, but it has more than she'll ever use.

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.

Works fine and easy to use. I overlooked the fact that you cannot interact with the unit through a USB connection to a computer. My fault, but makes the unit essentially useless for me.

Sound quality

No

The device is fine; The sound etc works

It wasn't exactly what I expected, you cant charge it as the device uses batteries; I wouldn't say the instructions are the best either as I don't know how to store a recording or save it onto my laptop; I'm not a technical person but usually don't have issues using basic things like this.

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.

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.
