Very good, with a particularly sensitive microphone that captures even very low sounds.
When activated to record, the red light flashes a few times, indicating that the recording has started.
A characteristic example, I had it on the same shelf as a clock and it didn't even occur to me that it could record the sound the clock makes, yes, the tick-tock, that's why I'm writing!
In the test I did, it recorded without any problem for 7 consecutive hours and then I stopped it.
During the charging process, it has a red light which turns blue when fully charged.
As negatives, I will mention that it could create mp3 files with significantly smaller size and support usb3.
However, these are certainly not serious reasons to lower my rating.
After all, the purpose of this product is not its capacity or speed.
If I have something to add, I will come back.

I needed to make a recording a few days ago.
I want to inform you that during the recording, it is advisable not to move it in your hands, as it is very sensitive and records sounds that are not audible at that time, but it records them. I want to confirm once again that it is really very good, it records everything.

It continues to work without any problems.
It doesn't work because the battery is damaged and doesn't charge. The store was kind and helpful and told me to return it.
I opened it and changed the battery, it has a Lipo battery, you need to know how to solder with a soldering iron and find the right battery (costs 5€).
Afterwards, it worked fine. Easy to use and sensitive microphone.
The instructions are on the paper in the packaging.
Everything is adjusted when you connect it to the computer (time, date, microphone sensitivity).
Just as a note, most electronic devices with such small batteries don't work because they drain quickly (due to battery size) when not in use, and then the battery doesn't charge again.
The battery lasts half an hour at most. As for charging, no matter how long you charge it for 10 hours, the red light never turns blue as they say when it's charging. This is the 4th one I've bought, and it's the 3rd one with a problem. From different stores, of course. I only sent them an email, never got a response. I didn't bother with reviews for the previous ones, but now I will
However one takes it.... I haven't figured out yet how to activate the recording, if it needs charging or anything because it didn't come with a manual in my package. It records sound well to the point where everything can be heard
I bought the tool yesterday (10/11/2022)........it makes a one-second noise and then stops. I tried adjusting the settings but nothing changed. I have been buying gadgets for years, but this is the first time I can clearly say, "garbage".
I contacted the store and they told me to come and get another one. I went and got it, but...it's exactly the same. It records one-second files with noise and nothing else. I tried many combinations with the settings, but nothing. It's probably a faulty batch.
Its problem is that it amplifies the noise, it does not have any noise reduction or cancelling circuit. This practically means that it will not do the job you want because there will always be noise in practice. Get something that has this feature.
Average build quality and microphone sensitivity, and satisfactory capacity.
One positive aspect is that recording is activated by sound.
A good choice for the money
Very sensitive microphone, but unfortunately it also captures a lot of background noise if the sound is at a distance. Very good battery life and compatibility with the computer.
