64GB Digital Voice Recorder with Playback: Voice Activated Recorders for Lectures Meetings Interviews - EVISTR Dictaphone Recording Device Tape Recorder Portable Mini, Audio Recorder with USB, MP3

I took this with me to Europe, where I interviewed artists and attendees at a heavy metal festival. This device was supposed to be just the backup audio. However, it captured sound more consistently and faithfully than the $200 cardioid mic of my camera. Further, it's not too finicky regarding the placement: just angle it toward whoever is speaking, and if there are multiple people in that direction, it will pick up them all. Then with just a bit of EQ in the editing phase, the sound is great on the resultant videos. Further, the the device is so small and slim that it's easy and comfortable to slip into a pants pocket or small pocket of a camera bag. I jostled it around in a camera bag for two days, and it took no harm. So I suppose it's fairly sturdy. My one complaint is that it comes with (as I recall) either no instructions or simply not very helpful ones, and the device's controls are *not* intuitive. You'll need quickly to learn how to avoid deleting things accidentally, for example. All that having been said, you're not going to find a recorder that's comparable to this one in sound quality, sound sensitivity, portability, or durability through a music store for under $100, and most range from $300-$400. For the price (around $25 when I got it) this is a fairly amazing little recorder.

I’ve bought 4 of these in 2025 and they’re great and awesome but I only have one left because 3 of them were under a porch and indirect rain ruined them:( but I still like them—I use them to listen to birds. I set them up in different areas and set the time from 6am-11am (when birds are a chirping)! They are voice activated so it only captures sounds made which I need. Having the voice activated device saves me hours of listening. I will buy more definitely! I also want to add that I use a sandwich bag to protect the device if rain is in the forecast— works great!

This is a pretty solid recorder but I found that the MP3 128k setting is actually Mpeg Layer II(or MP2). The main difference is if you need to use editing software like Mp3DirectCut to edit you will need to convert your file to a true MP3 Layer III(MP3). I record some streaming stuff with Line In and I like to cut out the commercials to play in my car. It does work well for this. I have tried Wav 512 and it uses much more data so it cuts the files up more than MP2. The menu took me a bit to figure out but once you realize how it works it is pretty usable. Just don't know why they wouldn't us true MP3 standard.

I recently purchased the EVISTR 64GB Digital Voice Recorder, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. Whether you’re a student, journalist, or professional who needs to capture high-quality audio on the go, this device delivers reliability, clarity, and convenience in a compact package. Pros: Crystal Clear Recording: The microphone is surprisingly powerful for a small device. Even in a large classroom or meeting room, it picks up voices clearly with minimal background noise. Great for lectures and interviews. Voice Activation Mode: This feature is a game-changer! It starts recording only when sound is detected, which saves battery life and storage space. No more hours of silent recordings to sort through. Generous Storage: With 64GB of built-in memory, you can store hundreds of hours of recordings without worrying about running out of space. No need for external memory cards. Playback & MP3 Function: You can listen to recordings directly on the device with the built-in speaker or headphones. It also supports MP3 playback, making it a convenient music player. USB Connectivity: Easily connects to any computer via USB to transfer files. No drivers needed. It’s plug-and-play simplicity at its best. Compact and Lightweight: Fits easily in a pocket, purse, or backpack. You’ll barely notice it’s there, which is great for on-the-go use. Cons: Small Screen and Buttons: While functional, the screen and controls are small, which may be tricky for users with limited dexterity or vision. User Manual Could Be Clearer: Some features (like setting time/date or voice activation) aren’t immediately intuitive, but once you figure it out, it’s smooth sailing. Bottom Line: The EVISTR 64GB Voice Recorder is a reliable, high-performing tool for capturing audio in any situation. Whether you’re recording lectures, business meetings, or personal notes, this little device gets the job done and then some. With its long battery life, generous storage, and clear recording quality, it’s easily one of the best recorders in its price range. Highly recommend!

I purchased the EVISTR L357 64GB voice recorder to use for lectures and meetings. On paper it looks like a great value with large storage and many positive reviews. Unfortunately my experience has been disappointing. After about two months of normal use, one of the main buttons stopped working. The recorder was not dropped or mishandled. It was simply used for starting and stopping recordings. For context, I work with computers and electronics and have experience repairing devices. After the button failed, I opened the recorder to inspect the issue. The internal plastic actuator that presses the switch had broken. The outer button still appears normal, but it no longer presses the internal switch, making the device essentially unusable. The electronics themselves still work. If I press the tiny switch directly on the board with a tool, the recorder functions normally. This suggests the failure is due to a weak mechanical button design rather than electronic failure. The recording quality and storage are acceptable for the price, but a recorder’s buttons are its most critical component. When that fails after only a couple of months, it raises serious concerns about durability. If the manufacturer sees this review, I would appreciate hearing from them and I would be happy to update this review if the issue is addressed.

Parfaitement ce que je cherchais ! À la recherche d'un dictaphone simple, performant, peu cher et pratique pour faire des interviews, je suis tombé sur ce produit. Il répond à toutes mes attentes. Je pensais me retrouver avec un gadget en plastique qui ferai l'affaire et bien non. Il est de bonne qualité, en métal (important pour éviter les bruits parasites), de bonne autonomie et de bonne capacité. Recommandé ! Parfait pour des étudiants, journalistes en herbe ou simplement pour enregistrer des idées
