Top 5 Best Voice Recorders in 2024: High-Quality Audio for Every Need (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: If you're looking for the best voice recorder, here's a collection that you've got to see. Let's get started. At any time, you can click the circle for more info and real-time deals. Number one most popular, Zoom Z-H1-H1 Handy Portable Digital Recorder. Not all digital voice recorders look alike. The first thing you'll notice about the Zoom H1 Handy Portable Digital Recorder is that it looks nothing like a typical voice recorder. With its red LED screen and stylish miniature microphone, this is one of the best-looking voice recorders on the market. Although the recorder comes with just 2GB of storage space, you can upgrade it to 32GB microSD card. The devices have no onboard memory and record directly to the microSD, which makes it more convenient for transferring SD drives. It can record both MP3 and WAV audio formats with stereo sound, and it has an automatic level control. It runs on a single battery, which can either be alkaline or nickel metal hydride. Number two, Sony ICD-PX470 Stereo Digital Voice Recorder. If you're on a budget, we recommend Sony's ICD-PX470. The PX470's buttons and navigation system are very similar to that of the UX560, but our listening panel didn't rate the PX470's audio quality as highly. Recordings were understandable enough, however, and if you don't need the absolute best audio quality, the PX470 will save you some money. It also has longer battery life than the UX560 at 55 hours, but it isn't rechargeable. You have to remember to keep AAA batteries on hand. It's also physically larger, measuring twice as thick as the UX560. If you don't want a physical recorder or need to only occasionally make recordings, we also have picks for the best iOS and Android voice recording apps. Number three, Tascam Portable Studio Recorder Black. The Tascam DR-05 is another digital recorder with an innovative modern design. It's not quite as stylish as the Zoom H1, but the interface is much better designed, so it's a wash. Like most of the other voice recorders so far, the Tascam comes with a 4GB microSD card, but it can be upgraded all the way up to 64GB. The major difference between the Tascam and other models is the length of the recording time, however. While most models with 4GB can record for around 1,000 hours, the Tascam maxes out at around 150 hours, although that's still over 6 days of recording. You can record in either MP3 or WAV formats, and you can choose from a wide range of quality, including 320KB per second MP3 and audio lossless WAV files. Number four, Sony ICD-UX560BLK Digital Voice Recorder 1-inch Black. This product is worth buying for students and people that need to transcribe audio. Our tester reported, he particularly liked the compact and straightforward design, internal storage capacity, and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. In terms of negatives, our reviewer wished for the ability to record 24-bit audio files, however he concluded, this fits the needs of people that have a small budget and have specific needs in a digital audio recording device. Capture all your meetings, lectures, and radio broadcasts in clear, high-quality audio with the thin and light UX560F, with optimized settings for each situation. Through the new user interface, easily search for your recordings and music files to play and monitor the recording levels. Number five, Olympus Voice Recorder WS-852 Silver. Like most digital voice recorders, the Olympus VN-8100PC has both advantages and disadvantages over comparable models. And like most other voice recorders, those advantages and disadvantages are not necessarily directly connected with its price. The VN-8100PC comes with 2GB of internal memory storage, which allows for up to 843 hours of recording time. It has a large LCD screen with extra-large fonts, making it easier to read, and it can record in both MP3 and WMA Windows Media Audio formats. The voice recorder uses a USB cable to connect directly to your PC for file transfer. It also comes with a headphone jack so you can review your audio recordings privately, perfect for settings where playback would be distracting to others.
