Beautiful Combination
I'm 61 years old and after having owned everything from the first RCA transistor radio to latest Hi-Tech Bose. I had grown tired of the music choices that I had to choose from and yearned for music from an earlier more peaceful and loving time in my life. After searching and purchasing many brand name hi quality junk recorders, over many years of disappointment, I purchased one of these little jewels a few years back at a yard sale. I spent a week of looking on line and learning what this little gem could do. I was amazed with all of the features it had and what you could do with it with a computer. The DR-05 by itself is the best hand held recorder that I have ever owned and I've owned a few! Quite a few. Paired with these headphones, the sound is Outstanding and makes my recording so much easier and better. It takes a while to master, but well worth the effort! I was so impressed with my first DR-05 (that I fell on working in my yard & Still works) I purchased a second one. If I break it, I'll purchase my third one! There is no other recorder that I would or will ever purchase!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good for the price
Nice portable unit, easy to use. Long recording time with 32g removable card (comes with a 2g one). Sound is ok but not great. I tried different positions in the room to record my band practice and the frequencies get a little muddles at higher volumes. Good for what it does and the priceVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Better chip than expected.
Internal speaking is on but does not work. Came with a 4 GB chip vise and noted 2 GB. Because of my hearing aid I do not want to plug in a head set. Blue tooth would have been a plus. Outstanding recorder and all features work greats.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Just take the time to understand the device and you'll grow to love it.
This is a wonderful tool to have in your toolkit. You should upgrade the firmware to version 2.50 as soon as possible. Also, if your recordings are too low, press the record button and then hit the button with the two triangles pointing to the right to raise the input volume. I cannot tell you how many of these I have purchased for pennies on the dollar because the previous owner couldn't get the recorder to work.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

well thought out unit
this is a great little unit. it records well and as a bonus is a really good mp3 player. not quite as good as my sony but 4 times better than an ipod. the usb interface is fantastic. i can even transfer and organise files via an android tablet. it appears as a flash drive to the operating system. the user interface is very easy to use and the display is good in any light. a bonus is the chromatic tuner which is as good as a dedicated tuner.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Little recorder!
Bought this recorder not really sure what to expect. Once you get all the settings set, it is a great recording machine. I was very pleased with all the end results. This little machine has a lot built into it~! Looking forward to using it more & more~! The only thing negative I can say about it is the menu is a little difficult to navigate & the instruction booklet has very small print, other than that, a great recording machine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great little portable recorded.
The dr05 was quickly up headed to the Dr05x with more features, however for my use I just record with a line in our use the bike in studio for ambient it works great. I like being able to lock the settings when I'm recording. Good size and weight. If you know the limitations of this unit and can work with within it you have a recorded of excellent value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great features. Value for money.
+ Nice features for this price point Great sound Feels solid 2 individual red indicator lights really helpful (REC and PEAK) - Does not accept TRRS inputs (3-pin jack). It will make the audio sound distorted. You need an adapter. Menus a bit confusingVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Perfect starter kit for recording foley!
This kit is perfect for recording foley. I'm very familiar with this recorder from using it in my video production class, and for it's price, you're going to get some really fantastic quality, but where this recorder really shines is when you're recording foley, which comes out amazing! My only complaints, though minute, are that the headphones are a little bit on the cheap side, and that I really wish this kit would've come with some type of windscreen. But other than that, I don't think any person would be reasonably disappointed with what they're getting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to use
bought this to primarily digitize cassette tapes. Have also used it to record radio and internet music broadcasts. Have only used the record function with the stereo input jack, so I cannot comment on how well it records with the built-in microphones. For me it's been a great value. Updated review Dec. 2017. Have used this to record concerts in small venues. Gets decent quality recordings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
