Sony ICD-UX200 review

Sony's UX200 offers three primary features. First, It can be utilized as a recorder, it also functions as an MP3 player and, finally, it doubles up as a USB memory store which can be plugged into any personal computer to immediately upload or download computer files

The recorder is pretty small and weighs in at less than most mobile telephones. But the controls are still large enough to be operated with ease.

And the built-in USB connector means one can transfer data when and wherever you want without having to carry added cables around.

The Ux200 means business in all three of it's uses: It has a extremely high recording and playback quality while you can store a huge amont of data and mp3s in it's 2GB memory

The Sony ICD-UX200 is a great looking recorder with cool styling and offered in black, pink, red and silver.Smaller sized and lighter compared to the most compact cell phone, it is designed to slide in to any pocket and go just about anywhere as an MP3 player on the move, a recorder in meetings and interviews and as a plug-in document storage system.

It takes one battery which is rechrageable and is boxed with the recorder when you buy it.

The recorder is managed by way of a main 'wheel' consul similar to those used in television remote controls and a sliding switch on the side of the recorder turns it on or off, making certain that it can't be done accidentally.

The recorder has a fantastic recording quality for a device in its' price range - benefiting from Sony's own-brand technology to keep down background noise and boost the recording generally.

We were not certain whether anyone would be able to hear the MP3's through the onboard speaker, which was a touch quiet. Listening through the supplied headsets is a lot better though.

The recorder could additionally be used as an alarm clock. Possibly waking you up with your preferred MP3 or reminding you of a meeting using a voice message you had recorded previously: "See Frank at three", for instance.

There is 2GB of internal memory space but no ability to add an external storage card. The slide out USB is a actually excellent feature, that means you do not have to carry a USB cable around with you. There is absolutely no complex software to install on a laptop or computer before this gadget will operate. Simply slide out the USB, plug it in to your laptop or computer and drag and drop data files. Very simple.

Sony's recorder has the common voice activation feature which can be utilized for secret recording. Just leave it within a space and it will only begin recording when it picks up voices.

The small, light design and the slide-out USB is exactly what makes this digital voice recorder stand out. It means it is absolutely no trouble to carry around and you could plug it in to any personal computer to drag and drop data files whenever you need to. The Mp3 player feature is an added benefit.

Also boxed along with the recorder are earphones and a USB cable connection for the challenging USB ports where you will not be able to plug the recorder straight in.
