Question 1

Is there an ability to record during a charging process?(mainly I want to know will it work with power bank or no)

Accepted Answer

Hi Vardan: This is a great question! I had never thought of that before! So, I looked it up in the user manual from Sony's website, and there did not seem to be any reference to it. So ... I tried it myself! And, sure enough, it works! I had it plugged in via the USB cable and verified it was charging, and then pressed the record button, and it recorded. So, the answer to your question is YES! And thanks for asking it ... I had never even thought about this before, and it does open up some new possibilities, because you can record for a long time, basically until the memory is filled, and it will keep going until that point. I hope this helps!  This is a fantastic (and unusual) recorder, so make sure you consider it before you make a decision.-- Ray

Question 2

can you store and listen to music like a mp3 player?

Accepted Answer

Technically, yes. Plug it into your computer, copy over your music files and listen on the built-in speaker or headphones. However, while the speaker is certainly good quality for voice, it's really not meant for music. Nor is the interface good for selecting songs. It has none of the functionality of a dedicated music player (playlists, albums, genres, etc). So, while it is technically possible, I would not recommend it as a music player. I love it as a voice recorder and use it all the time.

Question 3

Does this product have usb type c?

Accepted Answer

It uses Micro-USB,

Question 4

Is the speaker clear and loud enough? How much time is required to fully charge this?

Accepted Answer

I find it clear enough with no problem for voice recordings (kept at bedside, so I whisper often and no problem hearing or making out the words). I plug in via usb to computer and it takes a hour or two, not entirely sure how long. I've also used a cell phone plug and it seems a bit faster.  (Just a note that all the on screen commands on mine are not in English, but Japanese characters and no way to change that I've found - and there are very many command options, of which I only use erase which I laboriously figured out).
