Product Information
The Olympus VN-120 Voice Recorder Voice Recorder takes care of all your recording needs. All your recording files are stored in the built-in Less than 16 MB memory. This Voice Recorder device features Voice Active System that add to its functionality. It can record audio clips, in Digital, for up to 25 hours. In addition, this voice recorder features a Handheld design.
I bought this for somebody else, thinking it was similar to the Olympus WS100 which I have been using for some years. In fact it is nowhere near as good, particularly as regards sound quality. The reproduction is tinny and telephone-like regardless of the settings or microphone used. It's adequate for dictation but a bit irritating if you have to listen to a full-length lecture or talk. The WS100 is good enough to record music, although not hi-fi of course. Also unless the model has the suffix PC it's not possible to transfer files directly to another device such as a laptop or computer. All you can do is play the file and re-record it on the other device with a cable from the earphone socket. Finally, the maximum record time at the HQ setting is only about two hours. Considering how much better the slightly newer Olympus voice recorders have become I wouldn't recommend this one. It's adequate but very basic.
