Attention all university students,
After weeks and weeks of researching dictaphones, i purchased this item. And what a great choice i've made. There are two noise reduction options which allow you to cancel out any unwanted air-con or background talking noises. Most people in my class place their dictaphones next to the lecturer, while i can get the same quality sound from the back row of a giant lecture theatre. If you are a university student, do not look any further.. this is the dictaphone for you!
It's got massive memory (even on high quality taping mode), is extremely attractive (especially with its cs-115 case), great battery life (a months worth of recording with a lithium battery on 12 hour lectures a week), excellent recording quality (and can be used as a mp3 player), and the internal usb means that you do not need to carry any cords or cd programs to upload your recordings to any other computer (just plug it in and you're off).
I'm a law student so it's imperative for me to get every word of my lectures. And this GEM has not let me down. My girlfriend (who is also a law student) and my friends from university have all sold their dictaphones to purchase the ws-331m. I thought i'd write this review to save you the enormous headache of researching what dictaphone to buy. I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed with this product.
For the case and player i paid about $190 US (delivery included to Australia). Look out for sales on ebay, where you can find it even cheaper than this. Make sure to buy brand new and not a refurbished one. Good luck with your purchase, and i hope this helps!
