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.

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.

This has very good sound quality. Easy to use. It is just what I needed to record for our Historians group, work and to take notes. The sound was great even after doing a playback/record to my phone so I could email it to friends.

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

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.

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.

well made with clear sound recording.

clean sound

nothing when on sale

Sound quality

No

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.
