Customer Reviews

Not up to previous Sony standards
I do not recommend the Sony M-475 Micro Cassette Recorder for anything but a child's toy. It is overpriced for the quality of sound produced.

The recorder's motor is noisy which manifests in the background as a disturbing buzzing sound when played back. It is distracting and takes away from detail and clarity in the voice it records. Cassette noise is minimal.

The controls are conveniently placed and easy to use Two previously owned Sony Micro Cassette recorders' sound,and volume qualities were far superior to the M-475.

I strongly do not recommend purchasing this unit except as a toy where sound and volume quality is not germane.

Sony Tape recorder, much fun., helpful alot!
For the price I paid, I got a terrific product, of course we know Sony, so we trust the name. It is good for very simple things, runs out of tape too quickly, I am sure they have longer mini-cassettes,these came with the recorder, there are two speeds to record with also, may have a lot to do with it. Fits right in my pocket, I can use it in class lectures, and business meetings too. I had also wanted to record just the audio from a television program, I set it down near the TV to record, it sounded pretty good, for its speaker size. It did pick up some background noises, I don't know how to fix that yet, but it can be done. And also you can set it to start when it recognizes certain sounds. Haven't tried it yet, but I am sure it works, I feel it is a very HANDY tape recorder for the price and for the usage. I was in a hurry to find a decent recorder, both Amazon and the sellers didn't let me down!! Oh,and please don't forget the Recorder uses tape, it is not digital.

Solid Product
This recorder was a great buy for the money. The mic sensitivity is great, allowing for very clear re-recording. It also records music very well.
