aLLreli Digital Voice Recorder CP00341 [2-in-1] 8GB USB Memory Stick

I have purchased two allreli recorders. They come well packaged, with an instruction leaflet and are easy to use. On receipt of the recorder, plug it into a USB port on a laptop for an hour or so and it will be fully charged. Ensure the recorder is switched to OFF before charging. A red light will come on to show the recorder is charging and the light will turn blue when fully charged. Recording couldn't be easier, simply switch the button to ON. The red light will flash for a couple of seconds then it goes off. The quality of recording is pretty good but it will pick up background noise too. To listen to your recordings, make sure the recorder is switched to OFF and then you simply plug it into the USB port in your laptop. I use windows 7 and listen to the recordings on windows media player. The recorder looks exactly like a normal memory stick and is very unobtrusive, so whether you want to record lectures, meetings, doctor's appointments or require it for covert purposes, this recorder fits the bill.

Brilliant piece of equipment. As a non technical person I found this so easy to use and the sound quality is very very good - to my ear any way. The communication with Cheerivo has also been first class. Thank you to you all. The stick is very easy to use, and the recording of a very good quality. The people who used the recording I made a re blind so they listen very carefull to the quality of the words - and it they who also said how professional the sound quality was on the recording. Love the extra touch of the little attachment to carry the stick and the fact that the box has a seperate little compartment just for the attachment - shows quality and care.

Quality of recordings is good. Even when In a pocket it records clearly (as long as you keep movement to a minimum to reduce inevitable noise from 'fabric'. ) On off switch is a tad too flat and the embossed on/off markings are not easily read - bit of a nuisance rather than a problem. Main reason for losing a star- not clear to know how much power remains in the battery. Also, not clear how much memory remains when in use. Finally, whilst you can transfer recordings to an iMac, the advertised problems with date stamping are an additional nuisance. However, for the price, it's worth 4*.

I still use it ,I bought it many years ago, very good product, easy to hyde and record.

The stick is great. Works really well and records very clearly. My only gripe is that it's not a secret recording device. It actually says mic on the stick next to the microphone. If anyone was to look at it closely it's obvious what it is.

Very reliable product working as intended. As advertised - the recorder is small and distinguish itself as an USB drive so no one would be any wiser if you decided to record the conversation (be mindful of the lights when switching it on though). I have used it few times at work and was happy with result - clear voice recording, plenty battery life - what else to expect...good recording product which can also act...no surprise here - as USB!

I bought an allreli listening device (dev#1) on Amazon in April 2022 (memory 16GB). I was extremely satisfied with this device. It can record sounds not audible to the human ear but yet during playback those sounds are reproduced seemingly by magic in great detail. Recordings had 'body'. Whatever sound it heard was captured, in 'HD' - just like with an HD photograph. In December 2022 I bought (again from Amazon) what appears to be the same device (an allreli listening device but with a memory of 8GB - I will call this dev#2). I assumed this particular advice would perform just as well. Alas it did not. Nowhere near. In fact dev#2 was significantly inferior as regards its recording capability compared with dev#1. Dev#2 lacked body. Likening its recording output to a photograph, it was grainy. Certain details (most of them) were not defined. Might it have been a problem with the software, I thought? No, I formatted dev#2 and put the software on dev#1 onto it. No difference at all. It could be the quality of the microphone possibly. All I wanted was a device to backup dev#1, preferably with a larger memory and longer battery time. Amazon appeared not to have the allreli device with the specific 16GB memory. At least a search on Amazon did not reveal one. Finally, anyone listening to a recording from dev#2 (having not heard and appreciated one from dev#1) might be satisfied with what they hear. I who have heard both remain very disappointed.

Excellent service
