 Olympus DS-30 Recorder July 12, 2008
Excellent sound quality! I bought it so my husband can take messages while driving, rather than trying to write them down, and steering with his knees!
 Good one for learning music or language July 7, 2008
It is a best product in the DS- series of Olympics. The product is value for money and its completely stuffed with features. Though, the audio quality is not excellent, it can be good device for a audio based learner to have.

Blown away by the sound quality! July 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am really blown away by the sound quality of these Olympus Digital Voice Recorders. This is my second one; I previously owned the VN2100 but decided to upgrade (see my review for the VN2100).
Pretty intuitive functions/buttons/menus, and my experience with the battery life has been good. Like all Olympus digital recorders, the SP and LP quality recording modes are pretty bad. (If it's a loud lecturer or close-to-mouth dictation, you don't have to worry much, just a bit gritty sounding.) To get a decent smooth-sounding recording you need to record in HQ or XHQ, which takes up a lot more memory, and thus leaves you with less room on the recorder time-wise. Would be annoying except with this model you can download your files to your computer and free up space on the device.
Another feature of this model is that is has a removable stereo microphone in case you don't want mono recording. It's really not necessary for lectures or dictation, but can provide a really nice, super-high quality stereo recording if you want.
I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. My only pseudo complaint/criticism is that it is not as attractive as the VN2100 or some of the other models. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic product that is well worth the money.
Well designed recorder with excellent pick up June 16, 2008

This is my first digital recorder and I'm really impressed with how much of an advance this is from my old tape dictaphone. Naturally, there's the added convenience of being able to record much more, but what I'm particularly appreciating is the sheer quality of the pick up, the ability to organize recordings into any of five folders, and a very neat on/off slide switch that eliminates the kind of problems I have with other gadgets of getting turned on accidentally in my bag and running low on battery.
My recorder has now had an extended workout at a three day conference, numerous interviews by phone and in person, and a couple of lectures and meetings. In every case, it has performed extremely well, picking up all of the sound that I wanted and eliminating much of what I didn't.
When I researched recorders, I was surprised to find that many either don't offer an easy import solution to PC or don't hold files in a common audio format; this recorder allows files to be pulled down in seconds (in Windows Media WMA format) - either via bundled software or by just acting as an additional hard drive. For me that was essential and led my choice.
Amazing digital recorder June 6, 2008

This is a great product with great features, I only wish it could hold a lot more music, at least a couple of gigabytes.
Thank you.
