64GB Digital Voice Recorder with Playback: Voice Activated Recorders for Lectures Meetings Interviews - EVISTR Dictaphone Recording Device Tape Recorder Portable Mini, Audio Recorder with USB, MP3

I took this with me to Europe, where I interviewed artists and attendees at a heavy metal festival. This device was supposed to be just the backup audio. However, it captured sound more consistently and faithfully than the $200 cardioid mic of my camera. Further, it's not too finicky regarding the placement: just angle it toward whoever is speaking, and if there are multiple people in that direction, it will pick up them all. Then with just a bit of EQ in the editing phase, the sound is great on the resultant videos. Further, the the device is so small and slim that it's easy and comfortable to slip into a pants pocket or small pocket of a camera bag. I jostled it around in a camera bag for two days, and it took no harm. So I suppose it's fairly sturdy. My one complaint is that it comes with (as I recall) either no instructions or simply not very helpful ones, and the device's controls are *not* intuitive. You'll need quickly to learn how to avoid deleting things accidentally, for example. All that having been said, you're not going to find a recorder that's comparable to this one in sound quality, sound sensitivity, portability, or durability through a music store for under $100, and most range from $300-$400. For the price (around $25 when I got it) this is a fairly amazing little recorder.

This recorder is metal and very durable/well made. It's easy to use with common sense recording and deletion processes. The sound is great as well. Overall a great little recorder and small enough to toss in your pocket or purse.

For 30$, it is a good product. However, the microphone recording quality is bad enough to affect its useability. It is still useable, to be sure. And I did not expect it to match the recording quality of an iphone which may cost over 20x the price. This recorder is not at all "a scam". However, the recording quality is quite bad. I confirmed that it was not the speaker, because the device comes pre-loaded with recordings from the manufacturer, saying "thank you and check out our website". That audio plays with good quality. All audios I recorded myself, from various angles and distances, all sounded blown out. Not quite as bad as the intercom at a fast food restaurant, but nearly that bad. And to be clear, I am not a musician. I got this to take voice memos without using my phone. For 30$ with 64GB of storage and a rechargeable battery, this product would do fine. But I am in a place where I can spend a bit more to get a better recording quality. Even for "functional" use, such as voice notes to yourself, the quality of the microphone is bad enough that it will affect this use case. Not a lot, but enough to make it hard to discern certain words. I assumed in 2026, that a very good voice recorder could be had for this price. I did not bother doing product research. I will do other research and see how competing products do. If I find one under 50$ that is "great" quality, I will update this review. If the "great" one costs more than 50$, I will leave this review as-is

Works great. I bought this for recording speeches given at a Celebration of Life so I could replay and listen to the speeches after the event. It serves my purpose very well. Because this was such an important event to me, I purchased two different recorders and used them both. This recorder did a great job and playback has good clarity. This was easy to use and is small enough to fit in a pocket if need be.

This EVISTR 64GB Digital Voice Recorder arrives well-packaged, immediately giving a positive first impression. Picking it up, the recorder has a noticeable heft, which lends a feeling of solid construction and quality workmanship. Thankfully, setting it up was a breeze, as the instructions proved to be quite intuitive. To test its recording capabilities, I conducted a few trials at varying distances. At five feet, the audio captured was clear and easily legible, which is excellent. However, as the distance increased, the performance noticeably declined. At ten feet, the volume became marginal, and by the time I reached twenty feet, the audio quality was unfortunately poor. Considering my specific need for a recorder to capture business meeting summaries, the performance at shorter distances is encouraging. The solid feel of the device suggests it could withstand regular use. However, the significant drop-off in audio quality beyond a close range is a definite limitation. In summary: The EVISTR recorder boasts good build quality and user-friendly instructions. For recording audio within a close proximity, such as directly on a table during a meeting, it appears to perform well. However, if you anticipate needing to clearly capture conversations from across a larger meeting room, this recorder might fall short. It seems best suited for situations where the recorder can be placed relatively close to the speakers.

I simply love this little hand held recorder it picks up everything and I tried it from me to about 10 feet away sound was perfect, no buzz no back noise issue SIMPLY a great product and a great gift idea!!!!Thank you for the great product and fast delivery!!!! Ps love the security code feature excellent idea

excellent quality, nice weight and well put together. It picks up everything clearly.

This is a pretty solid recorder but I found that the MP3 128k setting is actually Mpeg Layer II(or MP2). The main difference is if you need to use editing software like Mp3DirectCut to edit you will need to convert your file to a true MP3 Layer III(MP3). I record some streaming stuff with Line In and I like to cut out the commercials to play in my car. It does work well for this. I have tried Wav 512 and it uses much more data so it cuts the files up more than MP2. The menu took me a bit to figure out but once you realize how it works it is pretty usable. Just don't know why they wouldn't us true MP3 standard.

Parfaitement ce que je cherchais ! À la recherche d'un dictaphone simple, performant, peu cher et pratique pour faire des interviews, je suis tombé sur ce produit. Il répond à toutes mes attentes. Je pensais me retrouver avec un gadget en plastique qui ferai l'affaire et bien non. Il est de bonne qualité, en métal (important pour éviter les bruits parasites), de bonne autonomie et de bonne capacité. Recommandé ! Parfait pour des étudiants, journalistes en herbe ou simplement pour enregistrer des idées

Un produit de qualité supérieur permet de faire d’enregistrement de manière discrète avec sa taille je le recommande à tout le monde
