Product Reviews

Recommend this for my Wife’s study, after reading the specifications. She said “wow crispy sharp recording” with high sensitivity sensor!

I bought the model UX 560 towards the end of July 2017. This is my 3rd Sony Voice recorder which has recording in stereo unlike the previous models that I have used. Pleased with its enhanced features and reasonsable pricing!

The HMI and control interface is very well designed and the aesthetics of the product are nice as is expected from Sony. Having analysed the specs in detail it seems the resolution of the audio input is still well below professional audio standard but suits the average consumer well. The audio output is not at walkman level so it was a shame that I cant use this as an everyday MP3 player. It may be used that way but the audio quality is not optimised for that use on this device so I would recommend a high resolution sony walkman for that. The screen was bright and nice to look at for extended periods of time. The USB comes out with a nice clunky mechanism with a mechanically retracting dust cover. I was assured by staff in the official Sony store here in Shanghai that it could be returned within 7 days if unopened, but it turned out that it can only be returned if there is a technical issue. I expected better paying full price from the official sony store. In conclusion the product would be okay at about a quarter of the current pricepoint for what it is. For most users, a mobile phone can fullfill almost all roles of this device and for professionals you would need to buy a better spec'd device anyway.

Easy to use, nice colour, able to record long hours, lasting battery.

OK, but I wish the battery can last longer........

This model uses built in mic. No headphone supplied. I have a earlier model which uses headphone. Headphone supplied. Prefer headphone.

hope sony will add control audio input soon ok, great device

BEST DEVICE FOR MY WORK,VERY LIGHT,STYLE,POWERFULL

Have been using the UX560F for about two weeks. This unit is much smaller and lighter than a much older voice recorder that I had that used regular AAA batteries. The plug in power and transfer via the USB port is very convenient. Very usable design with easy operation. Tradeoff for the unit's small size is the very small output speaker at the bottom of the unit which means using headphones or an external speaker is almost always required. Recording quality is decent in different situations. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a small voice recorder.

Already used it once during the doctors forum, clear voice recording, good voice quality, satisfied with the product so far.

So far it's a quality product for recoding and gives good play back. The problem I find is that when you are recording from an external device with a cable pluggeinto the recording red port there is no indication nor can one hear from the external player to see the stage of recording. One need to improvise n I believe that it will be a.better a product if it provides such a feature. This is from a consumer point of view. VOR feature cannot do the function required.

The old version is better as the texture of the voice recorded is rubbery and it dosen't fell good to hold which make me (journalist) feel uncomfortable to hold the recorded during an interview. However the sound quality is quite ok.

Very happy with this as the recorded sound very clear .. im using this for my lectures

Bought this to listen to sermons and it has been great! it is small and very convenient to carry everywhere i go even bought a 2nd one as a gift for a friend

I bought it about 10 days' ago as I was searching for a recorder that has the A-B repeat function. It is very helpful for me in my learning as I'm able to listen to a segment of the song repeatedly. I really do hope Sony will keep this function available for all new voice recorders!

I bought this one ago, I am not happy it is not able to connect to PC with Windoes 10 OS
