Even expensive cameras often do not have headphone outputs, but you can split the mic input between the camera and this voice recorder and then monitor the sound via the headphone output of the recorder. Or you can record just into the recorder and sync the audio waveforms when editing, muting the camera's audio. One minor annoyance is that the audio in the .wav could not be seen by Adobe Premiere CS6 so had to be converted (via audition). Small enough to fit lengthways into some phone mounts to go on the shoe of the camera. Review: Good price - basic quality - Cheap and basic but good value for money. Some points to note: first it ONLY records in WAV format. (it can playback in WAV, MP3 or WMV but I am guessing no-one will use this as a player) The sound quality is OK - but there is some background noise in monitoring and less so in all recordings - just about acceptable. There are numerous clicks and loud spikes when recording with VAR on and when switched off there are still a few - this makes this recorder not fit for recording interviews where the quality is important. It may have a high quality data rate but that means nothing if the recording is broken by frequent cracks and pops. The settings are effectively auto on everything. The left and right level meter display is a sham and merely a looping animated icon to give the impression sound is recording. The voice activated recording VAR works OK but it will clip a half second of the first word of each section when it starts - with a loud crack. The file timecode relates to the first moment the VAR recording starts - after that you have no reference about when the VAR had kicked in to record subsequent clips. The interface is poor, slow to use and not intuitive... typically Chinese. As a dictaphone this has no functionality - it can't rewind a set amount and review so useless in that role. Scanning forward in long clips is very tedious and hit and miss. As a backup recorder for lectures it is fine. As a separate recorder to support recording video on say a gopro then it is just about acceptable quality but you will have to risk the cracks and pops will interrupt. The manual is rubbish (of the same quality as the desertcart listing above) ## Features - Easy to Operate – Thanks to larger characters and the yellow background light, this voice recorder is incredible easy to operate. Simple and breif navigation only contains 3 main menus, which makes it convenient to use. It starts recording within 2 seconds once you press the button. - Large Storage and Powerful Battery – 8GB storage allows you record as long as 560 hours in SP format. COOAU voice recorder supports 3 formats in SP, MP, HP(384kbps ultra clear quality). Recording time depends on the format and quality you choose. Once charge can last up to 8 hours recording. What a powerful battery. - Flexible Working Modes – COOAU digital voice recorder can work in different modes, such as manual recording, sound activate recording, recording phone call and even recording via the audio cabel. You can take it anywhere anytime to record everything you need. - Work as MP3 Player – More than a voice recorder, COOAU can also work as a MP3 player. It supports MP3/WMA/WAV formats files. Allowing you to freely enjoy music and language learning. - Widely Application - COOAU recorders are ideal for courses, meetings, interviews, research, etc., and are the perfect gift for students, seniors, lawyers and other groups. The digital recorder is compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10 PC and Mac. You can copy the files to your PC to save longer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07G5BVWS8 | | Battery Average Life | 8 Hours | | Brand Name | COOAU | | Compatible Devices | MP3 Player, Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (209) | | Digital Recording Time | 560 hours | | Format | MP3 Audio, WMA | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 millimeters | | Item Weight | 81 Grams | | Manufacturer | COOAU | | Memory Storage Capacity | 8 GB | | Microphone Form Factor | Built-In | | Microphone Operation Mode | Noise Cancellation, Voice Activation | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

Some points to note: first it ONLY records in WAV format. (it can playback in WAV, MP3 or WMV but I am guessing no-one will use this as a player) The sound quality is OK - but there is some background noise in monitoring and less so in all recordings - just about acceptable.

The manual is rubbish (of the same quality as the Amazon listing above) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars are not enough *by V***D on 24 February 2020* This is a six star product. There are many reasons, but the first is that it packs a mighty punch that puts to shame recorders that are five times the price. It comes already partly charged and includes a tie clip microphone, mini jacks, usb leads and even a pair of ADSL leads. It is extremely solidly built and can be slipped unobtrusively in your pocket with the clip-on mic lead fed through your clothing. So two of these units could be used for an interview, or for many other applications. It also has an earphone port, a small menu/function display and reasonably clear controls. There is a volume control for both playback and recording, an inbuilt equaliser, a small speaker and various storage settings. The files can be instantly uploaded for editing. The sound quality is extremely good when output to a computer or other system with larger speakers, and when adjusted for example on a video editing time line. A single device can be used for anything from making personal notes, to recording a conference, telephone call, business meeting, interview, and even a feature film, documentary, or journalism/reporting on a budget. The saved audio files are a doddle to import into a video editor and synced with the visuals. It is a lo-tech video solution that costs a tiny fraction compared with conventional audio set ups for video shooting, which normally relies on multiple radio/bluetooth links, a transmitter, receiver and other complicated equipment such as boom-mics, condensor mics, shotgun mics etc. The build quality is second to none yet the form factor is very small. This is by far the best price to quality ratio audio device on Amazon and knocks spots off other more well known devices costing a lot more. This product is highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/78227235-digital-voice-recorder-cooau-8gb-rechargeable-dictaphone-portable-sound-audio](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/78227235-digital-voice-recorder-cooau-8gb-rechargeable-dictaphone-portable-sound-audio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
