Olympus Pearlcorder S701 Microcassette Recorder (S701ACC)

This items DOES NOT HAVE an AC jack. Comes with NO type of earphone. Local Best Buy told me cassettes needed to be special ordered. I spend several hundred dollars a year with this company and they will not accept return of this product.

I thought I rated this item before but I actually reviewed the tapes themselves. Well, the tapes are -- tapes -- but they and the recorder are terrific.

This is a great product easy to handle. I bought it for my aunt. She found it easier than a digital voice recorder to handle. The case is very resistant to falls or shocks.

I teach a counseling skills course at a local community college, and needed this for the students to turn in an audio recording of an interview. Not all students are into the digital realities of today, so this analog tape recorder did the trick.

I gave it three stars, 'cause it only runs on batteries ... there's no where to plug in an A/C adaptor (my preference).

If ya gotta go tape, this unit is alright.

I read the other reviews before I purchased this product and most of them seem favorable. So, I thought $19.95 even if it's "crappy" I won't be losing much. Well, little things do come in great packages because this exceeded my expectations! Easy to use, the sound is clear without any static. I am so very pleased. If anyone needing a microcassette player and can't afford a lot of money this is the product to go for!
