   Great, BUT . . .

   
   

   PROs:
   
   1. Unbelievable quality & sensitivity for recording.
   2. Great battery life & storage capacity.
   3. Nice-looking pen; a bit thicker than the average pen but not so much as to arise suspicion.
   4. Easy to download files to a PC.
   5. Good customer service.
   
   CONs:
   
   1. No internal time clock ==> NO time stamping of recording files. Best to download your recordings often so you can date them.
   2. BIGGEST FLAW: A major design anomaly from an otherwise well-designed pen - the chintzy PLASTIC clip that is used to both secure the pen in your pocket AND turn the recording function ON/OFF. It is so cheaply made, it falls out of my pocket each time I bend over. Also, it actually broke on my first pen (the older MQ-77), so I had nothing to hold it in my pocket. Ended up dropping (and losing) it somewhere - a very costly loss. Even an inexpensive $7 Parker ball point pen has a matching stainless steel clip that has spring tension. Why a pen that cost nearly $200 can't design a better clip is beyond me. I'd check this feature before ever buying another one.
   3. The lack of the optional cap makes the pen suspect as a spy pen. For the price, two or three should be included & should NOT cost $3.95 each. If you plan to record without being noticed, GET the cap!
   
   SUMMARY: GREAT for recordings! Swallow hard to accept the design/marketing chintziness.

   Great recorder!!!

   
   

   I really like this product but do have a couple of issues with it. I ordered 4 pens, all were working really well, then 2 of them stopped taking a charge and 2 quit recording. I've only had them for a month so I am disappointed they malfuntioned so quickly. The other issue I have is I need to hear phone conversations, but most of the recordings i barely hear the voice but the TV is blaring. I know for a fact the TV is not on that loud. I am using these to see if my son is getting into trouble again. They are fantastic as longas there is no background noise. I also can't figure out how to get it to download onto my old MacBook (2007).

   Good recording, bad pen

   
   

   The recording is good but their is no software to download and every file is dated the same which makes organization difficult. Also, the pen itself does not write well.

   Not a bad product

   
   

   This unit records wonderfully, even at great distances. The playback is also great when I use the computer for playing back. However, there are 2 things that disturb me. First, I have a problem playing back via the remote. I even purchased a second remote from you even that doesn't work. Secondly, I would love to have my meetings/classes dated for each recording, yet the date never changes. It does not update to correspond with the date on my computer. I see some other persons are experiencing the same problems. Would love to have some assistance in improving the operation of this neat gadget. Otherwise, I really do love it. Thanks.

   Difficulty in getting it to record in the voice activated mode

   
   

   It difficult to get the pen to record in the voice activated mode. There is no indication that it is recording until you try and play it back and you hear notthing. It s diffuclt to get the hq or lp mode selected.

   Rick "Almost a great product" wrote the perfect review

   
   

   I hope what he said is addressed because it is frustrating to use a product that seems to be designed from theory rather than from actual use. Similarly, these flaws would be more bearable if this was purchased with theoretical money instead of actual money.

   Poor instructions but after you figure it out...

   
   

   I retract my previous posting. Pen worked great after I figured it out. Just wish the on/off clip position was reversed-if hanging in a pocket might turn itself off.

   Excellent product and service

   
   

   The sound quality of this item is excellent. The pen is very slim and nobody would be able to tell it apart from a normal pen. The item was dispatched pretty much immediately and the shipping was much quicker than it stated when ordering even though I opted for the cheapest delivery to the UK. All in all it is a great product and an excellent service from the retailer.

    Excellent product and great customer service!

    
    

    I use the pen for lectures and the quality is great! I like that the pen is discreet that no one knows it's recording.
    
    When I first received the pen, it was missing the small cap I ordered so I emailed customer service and they immediately sent me one. And when my outlet charger stopped working a couple months later, I called customer service and they said they'd mail one out to me. Customer service is AWESOME! I'd purchase from penrecorderpro again!
