Pros: I've bought this recorder for college lecture recording purpose, and it turned out to be way better than what I expected especially with a tiny recorder. It has produced not only exceptional but also high stereo quality sound. Without any external microphone, it worked right out of the box.

Cons: Battery life is considered on the low side.

Overall Review: It would be nice if Olympus ship it out with some kind of a protection pouch or something similiar.
