Sony has rolled out a new UX series of digital voice recorders. Touted to be the Swiss Army knife of digital audio recorders, these not only capture your professor’s lecture in clarity and detail, it can also be used to record music and play back MP3 files on-the-go as well. The ICD-UX70 and ICD-UX80 models are able to record in MP3 stereo for high-quality sound and supports ID3 tagging for easier track identification. File and data transfer is achieved via USB direct connect to a PC or Mac. Below are details of the individual device :
Sony ICD-UX80
- 581 hours of voice recording time
- 36 hours of MP3 recording time at 128 kbps
- 2GB of flash memory
- Price: $150
Sony ICD-UX70
- 290 hours of voice recording time
- 18 hours of MP3 recording time at 128 kbps
- 1GB of flash memory
- Available in silver, pink and red colors
- Price: $100
Both the ICD-UX80 and ICD-UX70 will be released this April and it is much more practical than its older non-MP3 predecessors (we bought an old model and it was awful).
