Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Recorders
It’s great for band rehearsal and recording concerts. Only 4 stars because it comes with windows editing software but not iOS. I can see getting a lot of use out of it.

In most respects it is a well feature-laden digital audio recorder, quite diminutive too for easiest portability, but it suffers a few omissions from previous Sony flagship models. Inexplicably, they've taken away some extremely convenient features normally present, regarding display modes and editing in recorder. They only show elapsed time, no longer along with time remaining in a file or date or time stamp as the file plays. Worst still, in regard to editing, they have done away with the overwrite and add-to-end functions. You cannot change the file on the fly anymore - you'd have to record a new file from the start to replace it with new changes. Very inconvenient. I find I edit often and sorely miss that feature, hence my giving this otherwise sonically impressive audio recorder only three stars rather than five. It doesn't combine files either. The major forte for this unit is its swing in/out mikes (ab to xy positions of stereo spatiality) and six LPCM modes. I still recommend it, even though it is not with everything wanted.Read full review

Great recorder, smaller than I expected, but feels solid and good quality. Easily fits into my jeans pocket. It came with a case and a foam wind protector. Still getting used to the manual controls for adjusting gain. The iOS remote app is a much better way to control it because adjusting the gain with the device button makes a loud clicking noise that affects the on-screen limiter display. Even connects to my AirPods as bluetooth headphones for playback! (can't record using the bluetooth mic as far as I can tell)

it is my first high quality field sound recorder. i wanted it to be able to record ambient sounds and it is able to do it. the pre amp noise level is noticeable when recording faint sounds, but it can be cleaned in post processing to some extent, almost closing the gap with higher priced models. most of all, it is tiny. so tiny, that it can be put in your jeans pocket. recording can be activated by bluetooth from your phone which is great and it shows recording levels live.

The unit and its instructions are all in Japanese. Sony US would not provide me with instructions in English. I was forced to purchase these for $40 from a third source. They have not arrived. Until then the unit is useless to me.
