The Best Digital Voice Recorder

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute deemed this digital voice recorder The Best because it captured clear audio in a variety of environments, had the most features, and was the easiest to use. Even 50' from a source, The Best model’s recordings were sharp and easy to understand, without the garbled “underwater” effect that plagued lesser units. The Best Voice Recorder did equally well at recording music, meetings, and dictation, and automatically adjusts to capture optimal audio from a boardroom to the back row of a lecture hall. Noise-cancelling technology evens out the volume of multiple speakers and minimizes ambient sounds. The Best Voice Recorder has a large LCD screen, and its menus are labeled with icons instead of cluttered text that made other recorders confusing. A free app lets users control the recorder wirelessly with a smartphone. With 4 GB of memory and an SD card slot for up to 64 GB of additional storage. Lithium-ion battery lasts up to 29 hours on a full charge. 4 1/2" H x 2" W x 3/4" D. (1/4 lb.)
