EZMAX Portable Digital Audio Voice Recorder MP3 Player
I have not used many dedicated voice recorders – my only experience so far has been with a small Sony recorder. That one works really well, and I am overall very pleased with it. However, it costs three times as much as this EZMAX recorder and it doesn’t come with as many functions/accessories.
The quality of audio recordings that this recorder provides is pretty mediocre. I would not recommend it for music recording, but for voice it gets the job done, especially in some of the higher recording rate settings.
This recorder works as an mp3 player, but not a very good one. Still, it’s nice to have this option available in a pinch. It can also be used as an emergency USB stick.
I really like that this recorder comes with a set of headphones. I also like the fact that this recorder has a rechargeable battery. You can use a small USB port to charge it. The battery lasts you quite some time on a single charge, especially if you don’t use it much as an mp3 player. The 8 GB internal memory is more than sufficient for many hours of voice recording.
This is not the best built recorder, nor do the accessories feel all that great. It’s a fairly cheaply built device, and I am not certain how much mileage you will get out of it. I’ve used it for a few days, and so far it has worked alright, but it’s too early to tell if that will hold in the long haul.
If you do need some of the specialized features that this recorder offers, yet don’t care about the professional or even good quality sound, then this recorder might be a good choice. Especially if you don’t envision yourself using a recorder on a very regular basis. For very casual voice recording in a very simple and uncluttered environment I’d recommend that you just use the voice recording option on your smartphone. For more serious recording use you will be better off with a Sony or similar recorder.
