- Q2: What causes the recording to pause or interruption?
1.While recording, connecting any thing to the voice recorder will cause the recording interruption
2.If you need to record while charging, please turn on the recording before connecting the charger. If you start recording after connecting the charger, recording will not be possible
3. In voice-activated recording mode, pause recording when sound is too low
- Q3: How to turn on the voice activation function?
1. By default the voice activation is turned off, you can turn it on as per the manual: Change the value of VOR 0 to 1 or 2 only, not recommended higher
2. After voice activation is on, you need to turn on the machine, and it will record in voice activation mode on this occasion
Test for success: the generated recording file starts with V, then it is a recording under voice activation
Note: Voice activation may miss subtle sounds, so it is not recommended for important occasions
- Q4: Can't find the recording or music files in the voice recorder?
When the recording and music are in different folders, short-press the "MENU" button to switch between the music and recording folder at any time
- Q5: Unable to connect to my computer?

Advice: Recording in quiet environment
Please note: place the voice recorder on a desktop for recording may pick up a lot of noise conducted from the desktop, just as you would hear a lot of noise with your ear pressed against the desktop. It is recommended to use a soundproof material such as sponge to pad between the machine and the desktop to reduce noise and optimize the recording
- Q7: I found a recording file when I used the voice recorder for the first time?
If you find a recording file when you use the voice recorder for the first time, the recording button may have been touched accidentally during packaging or transportation. Please rest assured that our principle is to sell only brand new products
- Q8: Why use a voice recorder when your mobile phone also has a recording function?
Avoid the risk of pausing or losing recordings due to incoming calls or app notifications, etc. Meanwhile, the voice recorder supports 40 hours of recording time and large memory, which is suitable for academic lectures and other occasions that require long time recording

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The manual does not show where the mic is. My tests have shown that the mic is probably in the same direction as the USB-C connector.
However, it didn’t start smoothly as all 3 PCs were unable to read the USB drive of the recorder. I followed the reset instructions but it still didn’t work. Out of desperation, I left the USB cable connected for a few hours to charge it up fully. Fortunately, the charging seems to have helped and the recorder started to behave itself.
I also encountered another problem when it did not create a file after recording. I was able to solve this problem by deleting all the recordings on the recorder.
In summary, despite the above-average recording quality, the unit did not work out of the box. I had to reset it, charge it, and delete all the recordings for it to work properly.
To change the settings on the recorder, one can edit a file on the recorder named “2159-RECSET.txt”. After playing around with the settings, it appears the default or recommended settings are the best ones and the only settings I changed were the date and time settings.
What I like:
- High-quality smooth metal casing
- Recording quality of close and distant subjects (good dynamic range)
- Easy to play and download the recorded files
- Small size
What I don’t like:
- Did not work out of the box
- The recording does not start immediately after the recording switch is flipped. There is a delay.
- Sometimes you get echoes when recording distant subjects when the recorder is unable to process the weak audio signal properly.
In conclusion, I like this recorder despite the initial hiccups. It has become fairly stable after reset and recharge. Every recorder I have tested is capable of recording close subjects but very few would do well on distant subjects. Considering it has a 126GB storage capacity, I think the $54.99 selling price is justified.

To set it up, you will need to connected it to a laptop, and install software. It's a fairly simple storage system, and sound files can be played without downloading additional audio software. The additional tech may be a problem for some users.
Overall, it does about the same job that your phone would do with an app, but for security, privacy or just to keep it hidden, this will work. It fits easily into your hand or pocket, and looks like a simple usb storage device. Sound quality is decent. Just be careful about movement, because the mic is sensitive, so if you are carrying it, it will pic up brushing noises and rustling of fabric over outside sounds.
The instructions for the set up are thorough. Note the that 2159-RECSET file is an actual .txt file. That took a minute to figure out, but once I did, I was able to set the device to voice activation. This works really well. For a person who is used to having to click on and off on the recorder, this voice activation feature is a big improvement, and keeps that noise from being an interruption in the classroom.
The playback quality for spoken note taking is excellent. No hiss, buzz or white noise. I did not test with music as I only need this for study notes and class note recording of voices.
One thing that is not mentioned but is a real plus is the little USBA to USBC adapter. This is a separate little dongle-like adapter that can also be used for any A to C translation.
This device is very small and slips easily into my wallet, and takes up almost no desk space. Perhaps my experience is overstated since I am coming from the dark ages of recording to the current epoch, however this device is easy to use, super handy and holds the equivalent of multiple mini tapes without having to haul around the tapes.
I did a quick search and found a number of other similar devices at a similar price point, so at the time of this review the price is $55 CDN and for me, this seems like good value for the money.
Product reviewed: Howabo Digital Voice Recorder with Type-C Port and Metal Housing, 126GB Voice Recorder for Study Interview
I think it is best fit for situations where you only need to record and need to record for a period of time that it is not feasible for a smartphone to do the same. Also checking audio and playback is not as important to you. It is easy to carry the recorder but lugging around all the accessories is a pain. It can be used as a temporary file storage for small files. I say small files because it is not as speedy to read and write.
Top reviews from other countries
The size and weight of the recorder are ideal for those on the move. It fits comfortably in any pocket or bag, and you barely notice it's there. Despite its compact size, it doesn't skimp on power. The battery life is impressive, allowing for up to 40 hours of recording, which is fantastic for long sessions without access to a charger.
With 126GB of internal memory, you won’t run out of space anytime soon, making it perfect for recording hours of audio. The operational mechanics are simple yet effective: a switch to turn on and off, though there is a slight delay when starting the recording. This isn’t a major issue but something to be mindful of during sudden starts.
Compatibility and data transfer are as user-friendly as it gets. I tested it on a Windows 10 system via a USB-2 connection and encountered no problems—no drivers, no fuss. If you prefer a more intimate review of your recordings, using the headphone playback device provides a private listening experience.
This recorder excels in settings like meetings, training sessions, interviews, and presentations, where clarity and reliability are key. It's not designed for rough environments, and the memory is fixed, but for standard recording tasks, it performs superbly. Overall, this is a stellar device for anyone looking to record high-quality audio with minimal effort and maximum reliability.

"Howabo Digitaler Diktiergerät mit Typ-C-Anschluss und Metallgehäuse, 126GB Voice Recorder für Studien interviews"
Rekorder ist mit seinen praktisch knapp unter 8 x 3 x 1 cm Abmessungen ein wirklich sehr kleiner Rekorder. Wobei den meisten Platz noch das verbaute Akku einnimmt.
Die komplette Elektronikplatine misst da gerade mal knapp 2.5 x 2.5cm (Siehe Bilder) sowohl mit der kleinen Mikrofonkapsel, der eingeklebten MicroSD Speicherkarte und dem für die Audiofunktionalitäten zuständigen ATJ2159 SoC ("System on Chip) der da wohl laut dem Chip Hersteller Actions Technology Co., Ltd. seinem Spezifikationen PDF da neben den Formaten in denen er kodieren (Speichern) kann da dann auch bspw. FLAC Dateien dekodieren (Abspielen) kann. Praktisch wenn man da seine eigene Musiksammlung beispielsweise verlustfrei von CDs gesichert hat als Backup und die dann unterwegs hören will.
Der kleine Rekorder kommt auch hier beim Verkäufer "Howabo" da in der selben generischen weißen Verkaufsverpackung in dem da auch ein größeres Modell mit Display und mehr in "Diktiergerät Optik geliefert wird. ( https://www.amazon.de/gp/customer-reviews/R10YAI09LIYJ4E )
Oder das breitere Modell was mit noch größerem Akku beispielsweise von "Vivaniir" kommt. ( https://www.amazon.de/gp/customer-reviews/RSD6OGYHBRVMV )
Im Bezug auf das Verwendungsszenario halte ich eben einen Einsatz wie schon in der ersten Rekorder Rezension da beschrieben für sinnvoll. Wenn es "schnell und einfach" sein soll ohne viel technisches Gefummel zu haben um etwas aufzunehmen.
Wobei dieses Modell hier da dann aber dann schon so klein ist, dass in "meinem Einsatzszenario" dort die Bewohner hiermit schon wieder teilweise nicht mehr so gut klar kommen bei dem noch mal kleineren Schalter zum Ein/Aufnahme/Aus schalten.
Ansonsten erwähnt der Verkäufer ja in seinen Angaben schon die Notwendigkeit dort andere an einer Konversation beteiligten Personen darüber zu informieren dass man eine Audioaufnahme erstellen will.
Fazit: Kaufempfehlung wenn man einen einfachen Audiorekorder haben will und aus welchem Grund auch immer beispielsweise nicht auf eine Aufnahmefunktion in einem Smartphone zurückgreifen kann oder will.

+ Accessoires inclus (télécommande, écouteurs...)
+ Sensibilité de l'appareil et bonne restitution du son, clarté des voix
+ Très grande capacité de stockage
+ Excellente durée de vie de la batterie
- Un peu onéreux pour un simple petit enregistreur comme ça
Mais toutefois je recommande !

Doté d'une impressionnante mémoire interne de 126Go, cet enregistreur peut stocker jusqu'à 900 heures d'enregistrements à 160 kbps. Cela en fait un choix idéal pour les études, les interviews, et autres besoins d'enregistrement prolongés. Le boîtier en alliage d'aluminium est à la fois durable et agréable au toucher, assurant une protection robuste pour l'appareil.
L'utilisation de cet enregistreur est intuitive : il suffit de glisser le bouton d'enregistrement vers le haut pour démarrer l'enregistrement (indiqué par une lumière rouge), puis vers le bas pour sauvegarder. Pour écouter les enregistrements, il vous suffit de connecter des écouteurs, car l'appareil ne dispose pas de haut-parleurs intégrés. Il offre une flexibilité de débit binaire allant de 32 à 1536 kbps, permettant de choisir entre la qualité audio et l'espace de stockage.
Grâce à sa batterie rechargeable via l'interface Type-C, l'enregistreur peut fonctionner en continu pendant jusqu'à 40 heures après une charge complète de 1,5 à 2 heures. Cette autonomie est idéale pour enregistrer des réunions longues, des cours, des conférences, ou des interviews sans interruption.
Une fonctionnalité particulièrement pratique est l'activation vocale, qui permet à l'enregistreur de démarrer automatiquement l'enregistrement dès qu'un son est détecté, et de se mettre en pause lorsqu'il n'y a pas de son. Cela réduit considérablement les segments d'enregistrements inutiles, économisant ainsi de l'espace de stockage et facilitant la gestion des fichiers.
