A very disappointing product from Olympus
Advantages: very neat, easy to connect to a PC, runs for ages on a single AAA battery
Disadvantages: feels and looks cheap/nasty, fiddly controls, sound quality not the best
...On opening the Amazon parcel, the first thing that struck me about this unit was 'cheap and nasty'. It's packaged in one of those hard-to-open sealed plastic affairs with a small hole at the top for hanging on a retail display hook. This got my back up straight away because WS-331M is not a model commonly displayed by any of the major chains like Currys, Comet or PC World - at least not round here. The only two places I managed to source one locally were Argos and John Lewis, both of which were charging way over the odds. Hence my decision to purchase from Amazon for about £100 including express delivery. I saved about £27 over local retail. Whereas, going with Amazon's free delivery service would have saved nearly £35 over what local shops were charging for the very same thing. As you may know, neither John Lewis nor Argos match online...
