I have only checked to see if it records. I am still reading the instructions to learn how to use this gadget. That is the problem with new electronics, there is so much to learn about how to record and playback.

Really can’t speak to the product itself, but the ads and other pr were misleading…thinking it had a speaker so I could enjoy instant playback…NOT!!! Also, in sending it back to the vendor, there was a $30.00 “restocking” fee and $10 postage/insurance to send it back. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I bought this on Sunday, intending to use it to record ambient sound, especially at camping events and festivals; I’ve been using the record function of my iPhone which is not great but it’s always with me. I spent a while researching and reading reviews, but neither of the problems I had were highlighted in the reviews.
With the supplied batteries, three hours of recording time was all I could get. I was expecting more like eight – I’d like to set it in a corner and forget it, not have to keep feeding it batteries (we usually have no available AC power).
The sound was “chirpy” – lots of digital artifacts and cutouts. And lots of clinking and clunking – it seems to do a lot better at recording erroneous sound than the sound I’d like to capture. The iphone sounds better, I did a side-by-side comparison.
Back in the box and returned today, Tuesday.

Works good, no complaints except the first one I got was DOA and had to send it back for a replacement. Seems built a little cheap but for the money its a great bargin.

i had picked up a inexpensive short shotgun mic to record bird calls with. could get the calls but the levels were so low that after processing they were too distorted to use.
after much searching i gave up on the idea of a portable preamp and settled on using an entry level field recorder. most voice recorders didn’t have a preamp stage and many of the field (or audio) recorders were too noisy at the necessary gain levels.
the dr07 and the mic were a great match. some rubber bands,pencils and a carboard box made a tabletop shock mount and i recorded the calls i’d been trying to get for the last two weeks. the distance was a little over 60 feet.
