Actually I rate it with no Star Rating...........2007-06-12

Oregon Scientific is a rip off. I wanted to purchase the VR-399 on March 11, 2006 and it was out of stock. I just recently received an email on June 8,2007 that states that the product was available for purchase. Well I visit the website to see if it was the same product at the same price which was $19.95 and it was. Then next day I decided to purchase it and the price went from $19.95 to $39.95 . I called Oregon Scientific in regards to this issue and they told me that the price was not negotiable. I then called the corporate office and they told me the only thing that they can do is give me a 10% discount. Thanks to the people here at Amazon you save me money and a headache to let me know that this Digital Voice Recorder is Garbage. Here is a copy of the original price....

battery monster.......2007-01-11

VR-399 is not practice. "Play" key is very bad. Pause period is not enough. Battery life is short. Record quality is not bad but this product is not support windows xp (SP-2). If you're a journalist, It's not for you.

Waste of money.......2005-11-16

I bought this with the idea of having a portable reminder list. It is useless because it absolutely eats batteries. The instructions say to remove the batteries if you are not going to be using it for a week. This is because two AAA batteries only last about a week. I would carry it in my purse and everytime I reached for it--the batteries were dead.

Good features, acceptable sound quality..........2005-10-25

I bought this a couple days ago. It's small,convenient and has a large range of volume.
The only problem is its sound quality. I used it to record myself playing Harmonica. It doesn't sound real. I tried with different angles, but the sound remains too sharp.
Overall, it's too cheap to complain. It does worth the price.
If you're poor as I am, this may be your choice. If you want good sound quality, buy a more expensive one.

For recording super loud people only.......2005-10-23

I got the recorder from J&R through Amazon yesterday. The quality of the recording is unacceptable. During conference recording, I cannot even hear what each person was talking about, even though all people were talking normally within a few feet from the recorder (with MIC sensitivity set to high).

The battery indicator shows that only half of it power is left after one day's use.

I have just returned it today. I have to pay the shipping both ways. J&R consider my return as a "Return of Choice", even though I told them that it is in fact a defective item (the noise made by the recorder itself is so loud that you can hardly hear the people's talking). Not recommended.
