Features

USB direct connection for quick file transfer

Transferring files to or from your computer is fast and convenient. Just plug the ICD-PX470 straight into a free USB port for an immediate connection—no USB cable needed.

Expand your memory with the micro SD card slot

The ICD-PX470 comes with 4 GB of memory built-in, which gives you a max recording time up to 59h 35m when recording in stereo at MP3 128 kbps. You can expand your memory capacity with a micro SD card for up to 32 GB of additional memory—equivalent to over 536 hours (Micro SD 32 GB, MP3 128 kbps) of recording time.

Extra-long battery life for extended recording

When recording with the built-in mic at MP3 192/128 kbps, the supplied AAA battery will last for up to 55 hours. That’s over two full days of non-stop recording in between battery changes—perfect for recording at long conferences and events.

Adjustable microphone range for clearer voices

Adjustable microphone settings hone in on the sound you want to capture. When you’re recording a single voice, Focus mode captures a narrow field of sound from one direction. When you’re in meetings, the Wide-Stereo mode opens up the range to capture everyone in the room. Choose from four 'scene' pre-sets (music, meeting, interview, dictation) to further optimize the audio settings.

Auto Voice Recording reduces background noise

Want to record someone talking? Turn on Auto Voice Recording and the ICD-PX470 will optimize audio capture settings for vocal frequencies. The result is a purer recording with reduced background noise. And when you listen back to the recording, Clear Voice technology cleans up the signal even more for improved clarity.

Transcription playback helps you review recordings

Getting conversations down on paper is easy with the transcription playback mode. Easily fast-forward and rewind through the track, or create cue points that help you find your place quickly. Digital Pitch Control even lets you slow down the playback speed so you can listen more closely to what’s being said.

S-microphone system captures distant or quiet sounds

Now you can record those faint audio sources without capturing excessive background noise, thanks to the high-sensitivity, low-noise S-microphone. Even the sound of birds twittering in the distance can be captured naturally and clearly.

Record and listen in Linear PCM or MP3 formats

Choose from two popular file formats when you record. Linear PCM files are larger but capture more detail—ideal for recording music. MP3 files are compressed but require less memory, making them better for recording long lectures or meetings. The ICD-PX470 will also play back MP3 and PCM files, so you can listen to your favorite songs in music player mode.

Calendar Search finds the right file quickly

Recordings are marked by date, so you can easily find which ones were made on a specific day. Bring up the calendar to browse through days and find the recording you’re looking for.

Great little sound recorder at a reasonable price
Purchased this Sony sound recorder for covert use as using my phone is to obvious. It is very simple to use and has very good quality microphones built in that can record conversations through my shirt pocket. The menu system is a little overthought and could use simplifying a little but otherwise it works once you get used to it. Battery life is on point with the manufacturers claims and I like that it is small and light enough to hide in a shirt pocket without drawing any attention to itself. I did some research on this device and was surprised at how good the quality of the recorded sound is. The built-in speaker is the only thing that lets this device down as it is easy to distort no matter what the volume is set at (hence 4 🌟) but when you listen to the sound through headphones or on a PC it is extremely clear and detailed especially in WAV format. This should do exactly what I need it to do and when I need it with no fuss. Now I have to find a cover for it as it's totally made from plastic.

I got this to record hypnosis sessions for my clients. They often speak in whisper tones and the iPhone mic was less than adequate. This unit works great. The sound quality is much better than I expected and it’s super easy to just turn it on, hit record and then download the files via USB.

It ALMOST good enough to use as a field recorder but there is just enough of a noise floor that it would be problematic for foley recording, but it’s CLOSE. But for recording voices or a conference presentation it does a great job.

I purchased this for research (e.g., data collection of interviews and focus groups). I love that it is easy to use both for recording as well as getting the files off afterwards. The USB stick is a game changer. I have purchased several of these because of how great they are.

This is a really nice unit with superb sound quality. Well made, well designed, light/portable and packed with tons of features. Since this is the only sound/voice recorder I have, I can't compare it to other models/brands, but I really like what I see. Recording bit rates are: 48/128/192kbps + LPCM 44.1kHz/16bit. I was curious about the sound quality at the lowest setting 48kbps so I recorded a songbird about 50 feet away from my home. I thought the sound quality at such low setting would be completely degraded and unusable but to my surprise the sound was really good and came through so crisp and clean. And sound quality at higher settings is obviously even better. Good for all kinds of sound recording needs. I like the fact that you can use regular AAA batteries which gives you endless amount of power especially if you have rechargeable ones. Also have the option to set Auto Power Off to extend battery life. Comes with 4 GB built in memory which is adequate for most recording needs. You can also add 32 GB micro SD which is the biggest one you can use. Trust me, at 32 GB card size, the amount you can record is pretty much endless at any bit rate quality. If you insert micro SD higher than 32 GB, you will get a message that it is not compatible so don't bother buying a higher capacity card. I only used this unit for a few weeks now so I don't know what drawbacks it has but so far so good. Hopefully it will last me for years.

I like this model because I can change batteries for it. I never trust those embedded rechargeable battery units, especially, the rechargeable batteries are made in CN, for their quality & reliability are sucks.

I purchased this for my mother who is almost totally blind. My attempt to explain simple ways to record, were not adequate. She wants to be able to record, replay, delete portions, and continue on recording on her own. Sounds simple, but you have to see to know you have actually turned it on, pressed pause, or pressed exit. But most important is, has she pressed power, ie is it on, or has she pressed it twice and turned it off again. Battery life is quite adequate at 62 - 67 hours. Even if she doesn't turn it off. Her personal service worker can turn it off when she come in. I bought two (one for me to learn on, and one to give to her for her 94th birthday.) I am hoping I can figure out how to enable her to use it, or if anyone has any suggestions I would welcome them, or ideas for a replacement that would be easier for her to operate that would be helpful too.

You won't find a better voice recorder than this within the same price range. And you wouldn't need one anyway- the sound quality and playback are equally great. (Rubber bands not included-I'll explain about them!)

KEY STRENGTHS

It lets you adjust the recording format between 3 different MP3 levels (48 kbps, 128 kbps, 192 kbps) and linear PCM, an even higher sound-quality format.

It has two auxillary holes, one for a line in, one for a line out, so one can record crisp musical playing via one and listen to it on headphones (or a speaker) with the other.

This device plays MP3, PCM, AAC and .WAV files as good as any MP3 player, and can even play the songs slowed down or sped up (if you're into that). Of course, you can do this with any of your recordings as well.

It allows you to name the file folders. There are some basic folder names to choose from built in; you can also connect it to a computer and name them whatever you want. Also nice, it allows you to name the files themselves.

And yes, it's awesome that this device is USB compatible. I usually like to place a USB cord between it and my pc, because I feel this is less stress on the recorder, but it is a pretty sturdy feeling thing and I haven't had any problems with it getting damaged.

Has a nice power switch that's also a hold button, great for hands-free MP3 listening or what have you.

Gives you ability to insert track marks and divide the tracks up however you like.

The external memory capacity brings the total space up from 4 GB (enough for most things but not your Itunes library) to 36 total, giving you all the space you're likely to need. I personally love that these come with micro-SD card slots, because that's what allows me to put tons of music on these things.

KEY GRIPES

I really wish that they had given this thing a rechargeable battery of some sort rather than requiring it take two AAAs. I would rather have to charge it every once in a while than need to replace the batteries, however infrequently.

The screen, which ought to have a backlight, does not. I will say that in regular light I have no problem reading it, though.

Housing of screen, while solid, is very slightly permeable on one side, such that heavy use may lead to little particles getting stuck in it.

As good an MP3 player as it is, I wish it provided me with greater freedom in terms of equalizer for sound. Like more treble or bass (all it offers are some presets which I don't find super helpful). Of course, you can hook it up to a speaker with those capabilities.

ANYWAY,

I loved this recorder so much that I bought a second one in February, a couple months after purchasing the first. I would argue that the rubber bands are a great life-hack because they compensate for my clumsiness, which is pronounced, as well as a tendency of the device to lose its batteries when I kept dropping it. Not only do the elastics hold the back on no matter what, they will cushion the fall somewhat and enable me to tell the two things apart!

I am a music lover and a musician, and this has everything to do with why I got this IC recorder to begin with. It is immensely useful for musical ideas, even when I don't use the aux line in. I use one for louder music, one for softer music. I know that these are, if anything, over-qualified to be your voice recorder(s). With this much space on each of my voice recorders (each containing a 32 GB microSDHC card), I could honestly fit all my musical files on one of them; it would simply take a longer time to scroll through the artists in music mode. You can store music or other recordings on either internal memory or SD, and transfer them to a computer or certain other devices. I even put some of my recordings on my PS3 using these! And I use them as MP3 players pretty much every day.

Until transcription services were available at a reasonable price, dictating notes wasn't an appealing option but now, I can make long notes and get them accurately transcribed for a few bucks a month. This little device plugs straight into the USB port and away we go. I carry it pretty much everywhere now. Worth considering.
