Outstanding !!!
Bought on-line. Picked up in a few hours (Best Buy). Put the batteries in, spend about 15 minutes reading the directions; and trying a test recording. Used in 15 minutes, easy, convenient, USB attached. Great options to expand memory for lots of use.

Great for taking notes
I use it for taking quick notes like items I need for my grocery list. Keep it in my pocket so I can take a note anytime. It is great for me and saves having to find a pencil and piece of paper.

Nice item
A handy mono Dictaphone. well built and functional. Sound quality is more than good enough for what it is made for. Price is fine (around £35)Couldn't ask for more.

Power Buton Problem
I have a Sony ax412f, it's very similar to this model. My concerns it's about the power button, with a year the power button became to fail. High difficulty to turn on the device, hold position don't work anymore. It's a big flaw for an expensive device, and all your models use the same button style.

VERY DISAPPOINTED
this is the 3rd Sony recorder that has gone failed and these recorders are NOT cheap!!! My family and friends use Sony ICD recorders so there has been a lot of money spent on these Sony recorders! I purchased 2 with the US-B built into the unit and both failed. this last one keeps saying memory full even though I have deleted all recordings! Would someone please tell me if there is a solution to this problem?

easy to use
I'm not very techie, but this is perfect. Out of the box and using within minutes. There are other features which I will need the insturctions for, but for basic recording and downloading the files with the built in usb is perfect. 5 stars from me!

Not as simple to use as I hoped. Needed to print off the complete help guide - over 60 pp to use efficiently.

Lack usability features, need redesign firmware
I basically cannot use it because it is so impossibly annoying to delete files.
Deleting a file should be a 2 click process on the last recording or the selected file, or the entire folder, but instead it is a convoluted menu navigation with confirmation over confirmation. It takes forever to delete my usual 20-30 memo messages once I've transcribed them. Should really learn from panasonic US360 workflow. I had to go back to my trusty yet damaged panasonic.

A good product
It would certainly appear to do precisely what it says it can. So I am very happy I bought it.

Solid workhorse
Watching live sport, I record the game I see, then analyse the game on my PC.
The first thing to say is how little battery power is used, two rechargeable batteries and after two hours still more than half full. Also staggered by how much recording fits on the machine, added a 32gig micro SD card and I think it will fit the whole season
The sound is fantastic with internal and external microphones. Take time to learn the best settings for what you're recording, through experiment I'm getting great results even in strong wind.
An amazing piece of kit, well done Sony!

Easy reminders
I am over the moon with my dictaphone it's been so handy when I go to inspect my bee hives I can just put it on and keep records of each hive as I come to them. And writing up the report is much better. I love it.

Does the job.
Bought to record public meetings, not easy things to record. Nice and compact, recorded proceedings very well. My only complaint is the instruction sheet is a little confusing as is the process of downloading to a PC. All in all, for the price paid, very happy with it.

Almost perfect!
This is very well made device. Good build quality. Feels solid. A lot of features and settings. Being able to make as many custom named folders as I like is very handy. Good for playing music on because it keeps the music separate from the recordings you make. I love how it differentiates between line in and mic in when you plug something in. My only beef with it is that it does not have a dedicated erase button like most of the competition does. To delete a file while you are listening to it you need to press options, then up arrow, then enter, then down arrow, then enter again. If you are not playing back the file at the time it's even worse because the options menu has more items that you have to skip over. The missing WMA and OGG support is a minor issue but I understand that at least for WMA there are licensing costs that would raise the price.

Excellent product
I bought the device about one month ago as I needed to interview a number of people for my college thesis. I found it to be perfect for what I needed. It's small and compact and didn't in any way make my subjects feel intimidated or self conscious. It picked up only the voices and muted out background noise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone

User friendly, reliable tool
I’m using this for my PhD research interviews. It’s very user friendly. The sound quality is very good and the built in USB is so handy. I can upload the interviews to my laptop immediately after recording.

Birthday present! I have been looking fir a 'machine' such as this for some considerable time now..With a little help from my eldest daughter..Sony seemed to have to answer to my needs. I am well pleased.

Good but cannot be downloaded to include as letter
Mono Digital Voice is for my wife who is registered blind and can be sent by email. Unfortunately other than sending a copy, I cannot download it to send as part of a letter

Poor choice?
I haven't spent much time with the recorder and perhaps I simply have not figured out how to properly use it. But so far, the sound reproduction is extremely poor, not at all what I had expected.

There is nothing simple to use about it!
I bought this with the intent to use for tutoring. I can't figure out to save client's sessions without taping over it or easy access! Argh

Sound Organiser Compatability problem
I bought the Sony PX PX 370 to complement my other 2 recorders. The build quality isn't as good as my PX440. Also, unlike the latter recorder you need to use Sony Sound Organiser (SO) 2.0 only for this machine. (I got my IT technician to check for me) My other two Sony recorders (I also have a PX333) use SO 1.6. This is a nuisance to say the least. I recommended the PX440 to a friend - he finds SO1.6 isn't compatible with a mac. This isn't explained till you read the fine print in the manual.

Easy to use.
I bought to record meetings and after thoroughly reading the instructions I found it very easy to use. Downloading to a PC was simplicity itself. Very impressed with recording time.
