Very Easy to Use/Great Price

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I am still getting use to all the bells and whistles but it is pretty easy to use. I still need to do more reserach to use to use it to its full capability but so far it has been indispensible for my lecture class which is a tough science course. I need to hear every word and the playback is easy. I especially like that I can attach my ipod headphones for more privacy. I need to figure out how to fast forward without pushing it twice which causes it to advance to the next file. Ovarall great product.
Pros: Lightweight, Long Battery Life, Good Sound, Durable, Powerful, Easy Controls
Best Uses: tape college lecture
