For the coffee shop scene, she headed to a crowded Starbucks and sat near the bar with her mom. For the lecture scene, Anna sat in the back of Sahithya ReddivariвЂ™s engineering class at Georgia State University in Clarkston, Georgia, and lined recorders up next to each other, with the mics facing toward the lecturer. That meant 192 Kbps for all recorders except for the Olympus, which maxes out at 128 Kbps (though even this should be good enough for voice recordings). Wirecutter writer Anna Perling recorded MP3 audio at the highest bit rates available on each device in order to get the best possible audio quality-this showed what each recorder was capable of. Extra features: We looked for recorders with presets that adjust mic sensitivity and equalization to optimize for specific recording situations (these are sometimes called вЂњscene selectвЂќ) and background noise cancellation.Format flexibility: We preferred the capability to record audio in a number of file formats and at various bit rates or sample rates to optimize for storage space or sound quality.

Easy file transfer: For moving files between the recorder and either a Mac or Windows computer via USB.A microSD card slot: This allows for memory expansion beyond the 4 GB minimum.At least 4 GB of internal memory: This amount allows for about 40 hours of recording time, depending on the chosen audio format.A simple-to-navigate file system: This should include self-explanatory buttons, shortcut buttons, and a convenient back button.

An easy-to-read display: We preferred larger, uncluttered screens, and if possible, a backlight to make the screen readable in low-light or dark settings.

Good recording quality: While audio doesnвЂ™t need to be podcast quality, recordings should be intelligible and free from hiss, rumbles, echoes, or the excessive background noise that plagues poorer-quality recordings.

The UX560 is also the slimmest recorder we tested-at 0.43 inch thick it can easily fit in a shirt or pants pocket. Like many of the other recorders we looked at, it comes with an adequate amount of onboard storage (4 GB) but accepts microSD cards, so you can record and store hundreds of hours of recorded audio should you need it. It also offers a better collection of features than the other models we tested, with an easy-to-navigate menu system, a bright backlit screen, 39 hours of recording time (in MP3 format), 27-hour battery life, voice-activated recording to pause and restart after silences, and a pop-out USB 3.0 connector that lets you recharge the recorder and transfer files to a computer easily. It produces clear, understandable audio in classroom, quiet office, and noisy coffee shop settings.

In a new round of testing in mid-2017, the UX560 received the highest overall ratings from our panel of test listeners.

The UX560 is similar to our previous, now-discontinued pick, also from Sony.
