Review: A freakingmasing!! - You know when i got it? I was a little disappointed cuz it look kinda cheap. The built in speaker doesn't give it any faith either. BUT!! i ordered some stereo small headset so i don't look suspicious out n about. Girl! U gotta use it with headsets to really hear the crazy quality behind this beast! I have it at 50% input n i can still hear myself breathing! The audio captured with this device is impressive as hell! I been capturing things my own ears cant! Literally picks up cars running at 2-3 blocks away. I am in my room n it picks up the motor of my fan at 10 feet away from it. Tried vaping in the room and at 1-2 feet away it picks up the button press, the heat up mechanism and even the circuitry powering on! Thats crazy! The left n right channels are very sensitive, u can walk around it n its like i am whispering to myself. This is the best pull of a trigger investment i ever done! To use with your phone? Dont forget to get a usb cable and a usb male c/lightning to usb A and power. Then go to settings and activate usb options. Your blogging will go up like crazy. I paired my rig with a bluetooth mic and i dual record environments and high quality sound effects. My door does like a very light creek sound but this thing turns that gentle sound into horror movie quality. If you are an audiophile? This is the best not to expensive option! Sd is up to 128gb no biggie u can just buy a stack for cheap. Would had liked it to be bluetooth but i know the usb will deliver just fine. No latency delay or crackling just raw audio. I highly recomend for anybody wanting a high quality mic option u can just strap to your body or camera n get better audio quality with phones etc. u may have to play with input, at lower input your voice sounds crisps n cleaner due to not picking up things miles away. Full input? Get yourself headphones that can handle the high pitch of everything all at once. I tested it in my room with close door. It picks up conversations through walls coming from the tv in the living room! Dont forget to buy the furry wind thingy it does not bring one. I chose no case option n just bought a pair of fleece socks. They keep my baby safe n cozy. Easy to take out and keep the accessories in the other sock.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you notice any RF interference when an electrical device is near, like a cellphonne or streaming device?  The previous versions have that problem!**
A: YES, radio interference of a nearby cell phone made the recorder un usable for me.  Recordings full of static.

**Q: What difference between “tascam dr-05x and old model tascam dr-05 ” ?**
A: It's older!  Updates on the firmware for better performance.  Battery life better.  The Tascam DR-05x supports MicroSDXC SD cards, plus a brighter screen.

**Q: Can you monitor using headphones while recording from line in?**
A: Yes, of course. And you can adjust the volume too. The manuals online are fantastic. Not related to your question, but I like the timer start recording. Wow, set it to record from 7:59 -10:05 pm automatically. Extremely handy.

**Q: What are the differences between dr-05x,  dr-05x model 2019 and dr-05 version 2? i enjoy playing my sax and recording myself over playalong cd's.**
A: There's no difference between the DR-05X and 2019 model as the 05X was only introduced in 2019.  Version 2 was an older version.  The display on the newer one is brighter and easier to read.  This model will accept more SD card styles and a larger sd card size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Little Recorder
*by J***A on October 9, 2023*

I bought the DR-05 back in 2011 and frequently used it for live band recordings. It died last week after 10+ yrs. I was tempted to try another brand but since I was happy with the quality of the TASCAM recordings, I stuck with TASCAM. For editing software, I use free Audacity and Studio One. Some of my recordings sound excellent. I also recorded my drums for youtube videos with the DR-05. This DR-05X has some extra features like brighter screen and added effects like reverb. I like the portability of the unit as it fits in my drumstick bag easily. The interface is very easy to use. The unit comes with batteries but does NOT include micro SD card and cable for PC. So, right out of the box, you cannot use the recorder unless you have a micro SD card on hand. The unit has no built-in memory. But for under a hundred bucks, I can't complain. I'll be happy if I get at least another 10 years out of this new unit. You can spend more on other recorders, but this little recorder is a great buy at this price point. One small issue - I had to return the first DR-05X I received due to the display light flickering. Amazon provided a replacement right away which works fine.
