Manual of product ICD-SX57
Editorial note
The Sony ICD-SX57 is an MP3 player that stands out for its impressive recording capacity of up to 91 hours, making it an ideal choice for capturing conferences, interviews, or important moments without the fear of running out of storage space. Its lightweight design of 70 g and USB interface facilitate portability and connection with other devices, thus providing a generally positive user experience. However, this model has some limitations. Its internal memory of only 256 MB may prove insufficient for storing numerous audio files, potentially restricting its use for extended recordings. Additionally, the lack of a jack input for a microphone limits recording options for those who wish to use higher-quality external mics. While the playback time of 18.5 hours is satisfactory, it remains lower than that of other competing devices. Regarding the battery, the Sony ICD-SX57 offers a battery life of 29 hours in recording mode, which is very appreciated for extended use. Nevertheless, the use of AAA batteries may be less convenient and more costly in the long run compared to models equipped with built-in rechargeable batteries. Overall, the Sony ICD-SX57 offers solid performance, but some features could be improved to meet the needs of demanding users.Score details
