The LS-10 is cd quality. A littte hard to learn how to operate but once I figured out the basics I was on my way. I sing with a band and we use this to record practice sessions. Love, Love it!

I love it, it looks good, it works perfectly I just love it!
I do my podcasts on it and the quality is outstanding.

I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Everything I would like to say has already been said by others. It's true that the speakers on the recorder are useless, but even if it didn't have speakers it would be an outstanding field recorder for the price. It's very well built and feels very solid. The controls feel great and are well laid out.

The only thing that I find fault with is the playback volume. Even through the headphones it's a bit lower than I'd like. Once you have the files in you computer they are great and the volume is fine.

The audio quality is fantastic, and there are enough options in record modes for most people to set it up how they like it.
Way to go Olympus!

Looked at the Sony and a few others but the Olympus was the best. The price was reasonable and it very user friendly.

This was an early Christmas present for my husband. He loves it!! The only negative thing is that the speakers aren't very loud. But for what he is going to use it for....it works well!!
