Product Reviews

Purchased device primarily to copy podcasts from PC so as to listen to them offline in the gym. It is extremely compact, light and very easy to operate so works perfectly for my unique requirements.

This is the voice recorder I'm most satisfied with so far. It's durable, can eliminate background noise, has a long recording time, and is easy to use—perfect for me. Unfortunately, it's not waterproof. Our company has purchased several identical voice recorders, and I've also recommended them to others. I look forward to future upgrades for this voice recorder.

very nice!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I bought this month ago and is really satisfied with it, the simplicity of using it as voice and sound recording device is useful for meeting, capturing of ideas and thoughts; then reviewing them later.

Excellent in recording my lectures. No hissing sound. Voice very clear and easy to comprehend. I set the recording for meeting.

For the price, it's the best in recording from line-in. So glad I chose Sony.

I use it to record myself reading and it's great, I think sound quality is excellent for the price. I paired it with a lavalier mic and a pair of external headphones (both Sony too). Built in speakers are not the best quality, but it's a recorder so I didn't expect anything exceptional. When first bought I let the battery run out and then charged to the full and it has lasted for about a week with a 1-2 hrs a day recording time, but I think it could go longer, because I record a few sentences and then stop and listen and then again so I do a lot of button pressing.

I bought this and have used it for about a month to record meetings, interview and lectures. The recorder is lightweight and easy to carry, with simple buttons for quick use. So far, the sound quality has been excellent. I compared the recordings to those made with my phone, and this recorder performs much better. It picks up even the tiniest sounds and, despite background noise, it captures the intended audio clearly. It can also functions as an MP3 player and allows you to listen to the radio. You need to have a wired earphone to listen. With 4GB of internal memory, there’s also the option to expand storage with a microSD card if needed. The only minor issue I’ve noticed is that it takes a bit longer to be detected when connected to my laptop (usb connect). Overall, though, it's a great purchase and I’m satisfied with its performance.

the only issue is about the 'sound organiser 2', the menus are so tiny in 3840*2160 and I cannot see them.

If the device ever loses charge, the date & time changes to year 2041 and I no longer know the date and time of my recordings. Sick of resetting the time.

I purchased this to replace my ICD PX-333 which I have used for ten years. Obviously technology has improved over the years and I am very satisfied with the quality and features of the UX570. Having a built-in USB is a great feature and the fact that this is a rechargeable device will save me money on purchasing batteries,

Happy to use, very compact, fits, and meets the requirements.

I haven't really had a lot of chance to play with my new toy, so it is difficult to say at this tim point. The recorder arrived in a timely manner and in good shape. Thank you. I am pretty sure that I am going to lov this product going forward. Thanks

I bought it a month ago and love it to record my thoughts and lectures that I can review at a later time. The recordings are crisp and clear. The downside is the flimsy UBS port to transfer files and recharge. I'm still trying to figure out how to rename the files!

I purchased this unit a while ago. and it's so far, a good product, but need to do some improvement on volume. After recording and playback, only hear a mild/lesser voice. Quality improvement is needed. To listen to a higher voice, I installed an external mic.

I bought this product last month and been able to use it yesterday. Make my work much easier especially when conducting meeting. Great features to transfer file from the recorder to PC.

Clear recording for my lectures & meetings; ideal recorder for daily uses

It's a lot smaller than I envisaged, even to the point of feeling that it was delicate and fiddly to use the buttons. I have now used it for a short while and found it to work very well; I soon got used to the small buttons and appreciate its small size and weight a lot more. Glad that I purchased it and it does everything I need. Good quality recordings and file management using the free download of Sound Organizer 2. My favorite function is the track marker allowing you to jump straight to the section you marked as interesting or important, great for meetings or lectures. Highly recommended.

I bought this product about 2 months ago, the recording was unexpected because the microphone is very sensitive. Besides that, there is also an audio in feature that can record automatically and pause when the atmosphere is quiet

THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT BUT NOT SO GOOD TO CAPTURE VOICE IN WIDE AREA. AND ALSO CANNOT HEAR IF TURNING THE VOLUME TO HIGH. MAYBE SONY CAN TRY TO UPGRADING THIS VOLUME FEATURE.

Bought last month for urgent need. two previous recorders ( one USB port failed, another LED faded) No spare parts for USB The other too costly to replace LED panel.

Use it 2 days ago.. I am very satisfied with its performance.

as the title suggest! using this for recording my lessons and this pickup dialogue well without the machine noise being a problem in the background

I have used this device twice since purchasing. Easy to transport and use. Does everything it says it can do and the ability to plug straight into your laptop to listen to the recordings afterwards is simple and good.

My first UX534F screen display not lasting. Disappointed UX570F is a non colour screen display.

Recodings is fantastic in small size unit however battery life not reflect as mention that can last. With 198hz for broadcast recording last approximately 10hrs only.

Radio tuning is easy to set up and voice recording is very clear. There's many different function for voice recording too.

The UX570 Digital Vice Recorder is light. I had thought that it would weigh a little more but it is good that it weighted less; you can carry it around and don’t feel that it is pulling down on your pocket, especially my shirt pocket where I keep it to maximise clearer sound recording. Its battery is also good, one of the main reason I went for it after reading a review on it. I hadn’t expected that it to have a radio receiving feature but it does and it’s great.

I bought this product 1 month ago to replace a old Sony voice Recorder

I bought this to replace another, older version, that I lent to someone and haven't seen since... I use this to record operative notes and an occasional thought or observation. I have not installed the organizing software, but I anticipate that it will be functional... here's my catch.... I want to be able to record, go back a few seconds (think dictation), play the info, and then resume the recording at the spot I paused it. Seems you can only review after you finalize the file. I them have a minimum of 2 files that I need to keep track of (there can be a pretty good time space in between the segments of the recording). Perhaps there's a way to append the first file with additional files in the software (I can do it in another program, of course), but I'd rather be able to go back and pick up where I left off. Kinda miss my old Olympus mini cassette - could record, listen, pick up where you were or record over with your thumb never leaving the device.

I had. This. Over. 3. Years. And. Still. Performs. With. No. Problems

I bought this little recorder to record my online courses. Its interface is simple and easy to use. Its recording functions (move fast forward and backward, repeat, bookmarks, etc) are well organised and you can trust it as device. Its weight is like a toy but you feel and see a very professional device. I'm very happy with it.

I purchased this to record direct stereo audio from music equipment, and I generally use the CD quality wav. setting. Even the top rate MP3 file sounds great. Small and lightweight enough to keep in a pocket. The built-in stereo mics are good and pick up everything, but on the hi-sensitivity setting, it can become difficult to hold in the hand, as any movement will be recorded. But fine if you leave it on a static surface. 4 gigabytes of internal data gives about 5 hours of stereo CD quality wav, and much, much more if you choose the MP3 modes.

I use this product for recording radio programmes so that I can listen to them at a later time or multiple times without having to use the internet. It serves its purpose well and I am glad I bought it.

Good quality sound n easy to operate.. Good job Sony!

I bought this voice recorder for use in client sessions. It's very easy to use and has good, clear sound; My only concern is that the USB seems quite fragile and I worry that this will prove to be it's weak point.

The recorder is really good and most people won't need to add a memory card. I spent days searching for the UX570F which has an FM radio. I would have liked to name my own folders. Maybe it is possible once the files have been transferred to my computer (I haven't tried yet). I could only pull up Asian and American sites that had high prices, long delivery times, or both. Out of sheer frustration, I had to buy the UX570. There are three colour choices but you only get the Henry Ford colour in the UK.

Easy to use great product. Nice to just plug in charge

Excellent recording capabilities (of course), both recording and playback are very configurable, and for being a small standalone device one would expect that browsing files/navigating through a large recording would be difficult but no, it is surprisingly easy. The in-built microphones are excellent, and combined with microphone sensitivity and auto-recording, well you have a recording studio. Unexpected features (not advertised): you can record through the AUDIO IN such as headphone with mic (not just the MIC IN) jack; You can control the playback speed in 10% increments. There's an playback equalizer, you can set recording "scenes" -- some voice, some music-specific and you can make your own. Absolutely excellent!

I bought this month and very very good....great Feature....WoW fantastic

Picks up conversations from pocket. Performs well. Was very impressed by clarity.

Very easy to use,but in the same time very performance

I'll say straight out this is the first voice recorder that I have bought, so I can't compare it to another. For what I primarily use it for it's perfect. Easy to use, discreet, very long battery life after charging, build quality and an integrated USB port. Ive installed a 64g micro sdxc card which expands the audio memory to over 730 hrs when recording in mp3 192kps mode. I'm very happy with the product. As to its durability I can't comment having only purchased it a month ago.

The UX 570 was replacement for my Olympus WS-813, though it working well...i am looking for new one with improved MP3 audio. When i first saw new UX 570 on Sony SG Bugis showroom, i love it and price reasonable :) Mainly i use this as listening to Radio and mp3 audio. Sounds good. Tried few Audio recording not bad too.

While only new to the world of digital voice recorders I hope to reach up to those in the same position. It was not long ago I purchased the Homder version for £25 so I could interview people at my local parkrun for the run report. So, my question to myself, is it worth the £90+ mark up? Well my answer is yes but that is nothing to do with sound quality. While the Sony is lighter but bigger it’s also easier to use and the screen is easy to see. Navigation is simple and what’s better is everything works instantly at the touch of a button whereas I had to wait to start talking with the Homder. Having the USB integrated with the recorder didn’t add much weight and charging the device is easy so long as you have room. What I love most about this device is the simplicity of use, its easy and holds nice in the hand. There is 4GB of internal memory which you can increase by use of a microSD card (no provided). When listening back the sound is clear, you can skip forwards 10 second but only back 3 which I wish was a little longer. Pros Light and easy to hold Fantastic sound quality when playing back picks up sounds from a distance or just focuses more on where its pointed Easy to use, transferring files is as easy as plug and play Everything is instant, no waiting Large easy to see screen Cons maybe slightly expensive compared to other models
