Coby CXR190-4G Digital Voice Recorder with Integrated Speaker

Easy to use, reasonable price, internal memory hols a lot.

USB doesn't work with Mac/Apply computer...if you were wondering.

Hoping the microSD card will work or do the job of transferring records to computer and sharing with family.

Blaming a product for one's own stupidity seems to rampant on Amazon reviews lately. This unit is perfect for the application for which I bought it recording class lectures in school (the same as WOW-MOM's). The microphones pick up the teacher's voice perfectly. You can set different recording resolutions depending on how clearly you need to replay the material. As far as I can tell, this little unit would be perfect for clandestinely recording live band events. It's a quality unit at a great price. Only downfall is that although it's compatible with MicroSD cards, I haven't been able to find what the max size card I can use. I'll update this if/when I find out.

I just used this for the first time to record a lecture. I would have rated this 4 stars as I feel it is a great value except for one thing...when I played back my hour and a half long recording, there were many periods of massive distortion where the audio is absolutely unreadable. I haven't done much to figure out why this could be at this point, if I find out I will update with the cause and solution. If there is none I am likely going to return and buy a Sony. I hope this can be fixed, the features and quality seem like an awesome value (comparably Sony recorder is about 17 dollars or nearly 50% more this what I paid for this coby). Very dissapointed to hear the distortion which could come as much as every 5 minutes for about 20 seconds or it may not be distorted for a longer period, but it was there consistently thought my 1.5 hour recording.

UPDATE:

I called coby's customer service and their service was good as far as I was not on hold for very long. After explaining the problem with the device, I was told the unit has a defective mic, and directed to return it through Amazon.

Summation...the unit would have been a great buy if it had actually been fully functional. I could try to get a replacement but rather than have another distorted recording I will buy the more expensive sony comparable.

Bought for my kid for her A & P college lectures, but could not get it to work. Told her to read the manual and use it. After reading the manual, she couldn't get it to work either. After a week of trying, I decided to take the batteries out. The inside of the recorder had dried battery acid all over, those were brand new batteries I placed a week earlier.

The recorder did feel too light and cheaply made. The casing was thin and flimsy.

I will never buy another Coby product again.
