Product Reviews

I purchased this product. It is good quality reputable brand

my 3rd Sony voice recorder for 10 years. Reliable simple. Highly recommend

everything about the product is good except that it does not have a background light which is a setback.

Bought this voice recorder to listen to mp3 audio books and recorded messages. It has an SD slot for adding 32 gb storage.

When I started the semester I knew immediately that I needed to get a Sony voice recorder. I really love that the USB is within the voice recorder, making it unnecessary to keep track of another cord. The sound quality is impeccable, I sit about 20 to 25 feet away from my professor with the microphone facing him and I'm clearly able to hear everything he says when I playback the recording at home through my computer. It makes taking notes so much easier and less stressful since my professor talks SO FAST! One quality that I found super useful especially was the directional pad with the back button, options button etc. that made it so easy to flip between the various options for the sound recorder, folders that contain the Recordings, and going to the actual record function without any hassle or confusion. I really appreciate that you can record in one format (MP3, In different kpbs) to save some memory space, or choose higher quality versions (WAV). The sound quality is unbelievable, and there are so many different options based on the situation that you need this recorder for, whether it's recording lectures, music, or meetings etc.. This is why I stick to Sony, I am amazed and delighted every time!

When I first started college back in 2011 during my first degree, I had bought a Sony voice recorder similar to the PX470 but a much earlier version. For that model they had a separate cord to connect to your computer to download the recordings. The earlier version had helped me so much back then that I knew immediately that I needed to get another right away this semester when I realized how quickly my professor moved through material (Finishing my second degree, Hence the long time span!). I really love That the USB is within the voice recorder, making it unnecessary to keep track of another cord. The sound quality is impeccable, I sit about 20 to 25 feet away from my professor with the microphone facing him (I sit in the last row) And I'm clearly able to hear everything he says when I playback the recording at home through my computer. It makes taking notes so much easier and less stressful since my professor talks SO FAST! One quality that I found super useful especially was the directional pad with the back button, options button etc. that made it so easy to flip between the various options for the sound recorder, folders that contain the Recordings, and going to the actual record function without any hassle or confusion. I really appreciate that you can record in one format (MP3, In different kpbs) to save some memory space, and convert them into higher quality versions (WAV) using the sound organizer software. The software allows me to easily transfer my lecture recordings to my laptop, organize them into folders, edit them (Cutting them down, splitting/combining them, etc), and even transcribe them! The sound quality is unbelievable, and there are so many different options based on the situation that you need this recorder for, whether it's recording lectures, music, or meetings etc.. This is why I stick to Sony, I am amazed and delighted every time!

Great for any musician songwriter on the go to quickly capture ideas

Excellent audio quality when connected to my Hollyland lark M1 wireless microphone to record comments during coaching.

I bought this to free me from sitting at my desk typing. I now have the freedom to say what I want to type, them when playing the sound back though an mp3 file on my PC, I can use speech to text software to convert what I said into text. This has saved me a lot of wrist pain, so well worth the money. I like the compact design, and the built-in microphones seem to produce very clear and accurate audio files. Very happy with this, and the price was a bargain too.

I've had this for over a year now and it works really well.

Purchased a year ago and it has been a fantastic asset to my studies... easy to use and even helps get audio for video projects

Taken from Sony.com.au

Works perfectly well and well built. Instructions are quite clear, however, will take playing with a bit to master all the functions. Great VFM

I have had this a month . Bought for recording interviews. Good features. Good quality . I have had one occasion already of complete system freeze where it was only resolved by me removing the batteries. I worry that if this happens during a recording I might lose data.

Nice and handy when working on the go. Good sound quality and mot to bad on pruce.

it has all necessary features with portable sizes classic and irreplaceable speaker is acceptable

Bought this item online directly from Sony. Next day delivery. The volume of the recordings are muted. My smart phone is better. Perhaps I need to reconfigure from the factory preset.

This was difficult to find inside the battery area, and difficult to read for older people with bad eyes. Consider putting it on the back and a larger font and in white text for easier reading Thanks

Great product, very easy to use. Excellent build quality

Bought to record important and confidential meetings. Brilliant range and long memory. A great bit of kit.

Unable to name files which is what I expected from the product

I recommend this voice recorder as it is good quality and easy to use.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago along with a lavalier mike to replace the substandard audio system in my action camera. Very impressed so far. In a previous life I was a committee clerk and used one of the Sony £100+ models on a daily basis, and neither the device, or the software, gave me any trouble. My PX470, although not as expensive, still has that quality feel to it, and I look forward to many years of excellent service. As an aside, being able to convert the WAV files to MP3 via the Sony software is very handy!

I bought this for meetings at work. For work it will be great as o don’t always hear everything. Brilliant

I bought this recorder a few days a go os happy that i did
