Oregon Scientific VR-399 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link

I got the recorder from J&R through Amazon yesterday. The quality of the recording is unacceptable. During conference recording, I cannot even hear what each person was talking about, even though all people were talking normally within a few feet from the recorder (with MIC sensitivity set to high).

The battery indicator shows that only half of it power is left after one day's use.

I have just returned it today. I have to pay the shipping both ways. J&R consider my return as a "Return of Choice", even though I told them that it is in fact a defective item (the noise made by the recorder itself is so loud that you can hardly hear the people's talking). Not recommended.

I bought this with the idea of having a portable reminder list. It is useless because it absolutely eats batteries. The instructions say to remove the batteries if you are not going to be using it for a week. This is because two AAA batteries only last about a week. I would carry it in my purse and everytime I reached for it--the batteries were dead.

I bought this a couple days ago. It's small,convenient and has a large range of volume.

The only problem is its sound quality. I used it to record myself playing Harmonica. It doesn't sound real. I tried with different angles, but the sound remains too sharp.

Overall, it's too cheap to complain. It does worth the price.

If you're poor as I am, this may be your choice. If you want good sound quality, buy a more expensive one.

I bought an oregon scientific VR399 digital audio recorder with usb down load. I have used it in many situations and was very pleased with the results of time and clearity. The usb down load function works great and saves a lot of time in transcribing at about a 10 to 1 speed ratio. I forgot my recorder in my shurt pocket and washed it, I dried it out and it continued to work for another two weeks. That is a very good credit to this recorder! The recorder still works, I only lost the usb function. This recorder has all the functions of my other recorders, both sonys, and more. For a good quality and price competitave recorder, I recommend it highly.

Want Oregon Scientific VR-399 Digital Voice Recorder with PC Link Discount?

Oregon Scientific is a rip off. I wanted to purchase the VR-399 on March 11, 2006 and it was out of stock. I just recently received an email on June 8,2007 that states that the product was available for purchase. Well I visit the website to see if it was the same product at the same price which was $19.95 and it was. Then next day I decided to purchase it and the price went from $19.95 to $39.95 . I called Oregon Scientific in regards to this issue and they told me that the price was not negotiable. I then called the corporate office and they told me the only thing that they can do is give me a 10% discount. Thanks to the people here at Amazon you save me money and a headache to let me know that this Digital Voice Recorder is Garbage. Here is a copy of the original price....
