Astounding audio quality, feature laden, great value.
The Olympus DS-2 Digital Voice Recorder is one of those breakthrough products that makes me want to recommend it to everyone I see.
Digital voice recorders have been around for a number of years and I have owned a few, a Sony and an older Olympus model. They have previously been very...

Sound quality can't be surpassed!
I'm a vocalist and bought this unit to help learn music and hear nuances in my voice. It does not disappoint! Using both a very good quality, expensive external microphone (Sony stereo microphone for digital - ECM-DS70P) and the provided ear plugs, I can hear my voice quality better than just...

Good Sound. Useful Features.
The Olympus DS-2 has good sound, lots of features, and is solidly built. It has 64 meg of built-in memory. The sound is adequate for most needs. The interface is a bit tedious, and the WMA file format is not as convenient as wav or mp3 would have been.
As a musician, teacher and composer,...

Almost really great
I have been using Olympus digital recorders for some time. This is superior to the others in sound quality, functions, and ease of use. In particular I'm glad that Olympus has finally figured out how to treat their recorder as "memory" when connected to a computer. That way, you don't need special... Read full review »
Wavery Sound on Playback
I love this recorder, but mine almost immediately displayed a defect. The sound wavers, like a tape recorder whose capstans are dirty or oily. I can't imagine why a fully digital device would exhibit analog behavior, but it does. The problem doesn't seem to stem from the recorder's position or... Read full review »
Better than a tape recorder for Forestry Work!!
As a professional forester, I have found handheld data recorders are fine for 2 man crews- if one man does nothing but input data with a plastic stylus (which is impossible to find if you drop it!). A tape recorder has always been faster, but not very convenient.
The DS-2 has the ability...

Very good quality sound
This easy to use recorder provides great audio quality. I've only ever used it with an external microphone though, so I'm not sure if it would be adequate on its own. But with the mike, I can record interviews at high enough quality to play on the local radio news.

Excellent sound quality in a diminutive package!
I have two of these that I use to record ambient sounds and dictation for integrating into journalistic slide shows. The multiple folders also allow me to store to-do lists and maintain them even when I've downloaded one folder and deleted it from the recorder. The recorder does have a pause... Read full review »
Can't be used for dictation
I bought this recorder to replace my Sony ICD-ST25 digital recorder b/c the DS-2 had a docking station. However, it is basically only a tape recorder. It is useless for dictation. You can't "record on the fly." Which if you dictate heavily, is next to impossible not to do with all the interruptions... Read full review »
