Customer reviews
In their own words.
Marcus Vance
so fidgety in the best way. ok i bought this mostly cuz it looked cool af, not gonna lie. but the little spinning wheel in the middle is actually super useful?? like when someone says "off the record" i literally just put my thumb on the wheel to stop it. feels like spy gear lol.
Chloe Sterling
Way smaller than it looks in photos. Fits right in my palm. Got the silver one and the build quality is insane, solid metal, nice weight to it. Audio is super crisp even just using the built-in mic in a noisy coffee shop.
Liam O'Connor
Saved my butt in lectures. The app transcription isn't 100% perfect if the prof mumbles, maybe like 95%, which is still way better than typing notes for 2 hours. Syncs fast over usb-c. Expensive? Yeah. Worth it? For me, totally.
Hannah Abbott
The black finish is gorgeous. Was torn between silver and black, went with black and zero regrets. The textured back gives it great grip so it doesn't slide off my desk. Buttons have a really nice mechanical clack to them.
Tyler Brooks
Overpriced? Maybe. Do I love it? Yes. Look, you can record voice memos on your iPhone for free. You don't buy the TP-7 to save money. You buy it because hitting a physical memo button on the side without looking and feeling that motor spin up is pure joy.
Samantha Jenkins
That side rocker tho!! Scrubbing through a 40-minute interview used to be a nightmare. Using the little rocker bar on the left side with my index finger to fast-forward and rewind is genius. Why doesn't every recorder have this??
Dave Miller
Great for quick song ideas. I leave this on my acoustic amp. Whenever I come up with a riff, I just tap record. Doesn't clip easily and the playback through the tiny internal speaker is actually decent enough to check the vibe.
Zoe Kaufmann
Solid little brick. Dropped it once on hardwood floor already (my bad) and not even a scratch. The hardcase box it comes in is pretty sweet too.
Brandon Hayes
3 inputs/outputs is wild. Used this on a podcast shoot last weekend. Had 3 mics plugged into the top 3.5mm jacks and monitored off the main out at the bottom. Handled multitrack like a champ without needing a bulky mixer.
Rachel Greenwald
Finally no more touchscreen menus. So sick of swiping through tiny screens. Everything here is tactile. The clicky buttons, the wheel, the rocker. Took me maybe 20 mins to get muscle memory down.
Nathan Foster
Good weight, feels expensive. When you unbox it, you immediately get where the money went. Even the 1/4 inch jack adapter has this crazy knurled texture. Nothing feels cheap or plasticky.
Caleb Wright
Instant boot up. My old Zoom recorder took forever to boot up and load the SD card. This thing is instant. Flip the switch or hit memo and you're rolling in a split second.
Megan Thorne
Audio quality is 10/10. 96kHz/24-bit is no joke. Recorded some ambient street sounds in NYC and when I plugged my headphones in later, the stereo separation blew me away.
Justin Alvarez
Love the retro cassette vibe. Reminds me of my dad's old Walkman from the 80s, just shrunk down and made in 2050. The little tiny screen in the corner is super sharp even in direct sunlight.
Emily Watson
Best gift for my audio nerd husband. I have no idea what half the buttons do, ngl. Bought the silver one for my husband's birthday and he hasn't put it down for three days. He keeps making me watch the wheel spin lol.
Ryan MacAllister
Works great as a USB audio interface. Plugged it into my MacBook with the braided USB-C cable that came in the box and Logic Pro recognized it right away. Super clean preamps.
Jessica Lin
Battery lasts forever. Been using it on and off all week for work meetings and still haven't charged it. Way better battery life than I expected given that it has a literal motor spinning inside.
Lucas Bergstrom
Small details matter. The little orange accents on the silver model are chef's kiss. Even the user guide is nicely designed. Teenage Engineering never misses on aesthetics.
Sofia Rossi
The pause gesture is genius. I do a lot of street interviews. Being able to just hold the reel with my finger to pause when a truck drives by, then let go to keep recording... so much better than fumbling for a pause button.
Connor McBride
Surprisingly loud speaker. Look, you're not gonna DJ a party with the internal speaker, obviously. But for sitting at a desk and listening back to notes with a coworker, it's plenty loud and clear.
Ashley Mercer
No SD card anxiety. Having tons of internal storage built right in is great. I used to always forget my microSD card in my card reader at home. One less thing to worry about.
Jordan K.
One-handed operation is legit. Whoever designed the button layout actually used the product. Left hand holds it, index finger on the rocker, thumb on the record buttons. Super intuitive.
Patrick Doyle
Preamps are dead quiet. Hooked up my Sennheiser shotgun mic to one of the two-way jacks on top. Noise floor is basically nonexistent. Really impressed for something this compact.
Natalie Dupree
Sleekest dictaphone ever made. I'm a lawyer and I dictate notes constantly. My old plastic Sony recorder looked like a dinosaur. Pulling the black TP-7 out of my briefcase feels like a flex every single time.
Greg Henderson
That motorized reel is addictive. Sometimes I just play back old tracks and spin the wheel manually like a tiny DJ deck. Pure hardware porn.
Amber Dawson
Transcription app is a lifesaver. English is my second language and going back over client meetings used to take me hours. The TP-7 app spits out the text super fast and gets almost everything right.
Ethan Montgomery
Fits in my fifth jeans pocket. Literally the size of a deck of cards. I take it everywhere now just to sample random sounds for my beats.
Kayla Lindqvist
Zero buyer's remorse. I hesitated for months because of the price tag. Finally pulled the trigger on the silver version and yeah, it's special. You have to hold it to understand.
Benji Cohen
Love the user button customization. Mapped the side user button to my favorite setting and now I don't even have to look at the screen. Super smart layout.
Victoria Hale
Build quality puts everything else to shame. All metal, tight tolerances, zero button wobble. Feels like a Leica camera but for audio.
Derek Sullivan
Great for field recording. Took it out to the woods in Oregon to record rain and birds. Threw it in the little plastic hardcase when it started pouring and it stayed completely safe in my pack.
Claire Beaumont
The +/- volume buttons are nicely recessed. Never accidentally change my gain levels in my pocket because the buttons are flush and require a deliberate press.
Alexei Petrov
Crazy good multitrack capability. Recorded a whole 3-person tabletop RPG session with individual lav mics plugged straight into the top. Syncing and editing afterward was a breeze.
Brianna Soto
Simple, fast, reliable. Doesn't crash, doesn't lag. When an idea hits at 3 AM, I grab it off my nightstand, press one button on the side, and talk. Done.
Shaun Gallagher
The included cable and adapter are top quality. Usually companies throw in a cheap throwaway USB cable. The white braided USB-C cable and that heavy duty 6.35mm adapter feel like $50 accessories on their own.
Trevor Penn
Just buy it if you love cool tech. I don't even record that much audio professionally anymore, I just use it for voice journaling and memos. Makes a mundane task feel fun.
Simon Pritchard
Cool gadget, steep learning curve. Giving it 3 stars because while the hardware is a 10/10, the menu system on that tiny screen takes a while to figure out. The included user guide is super minimal, had to watch three YouTube videos just to learn how to route the inputs properly.
Danielle Foster
Android users beware! The recorder itself is amazing, love the spinning wheel and the silver finish. Knocking off two stars because the auto-transcribe app is iOS only right now. If you have an Android phone, you miss out on a huge feature.
Mark T.
Great mic, annoying adapter setup. Because the main headphone out at the bottom is recessed with that screw collar, some of my thicker studio headphone plugs don't fit without an adapter. Audio quality is great though.
Courtney Vance
A bit too sensitive to handling noise. If you're holding it in your hand and using the internal mic, it picks up every little finger rub on the metal body. You basically have to set it down on a table or use an external mic if you want clean audio.
Julian Mercer
Wheel motor makes a faint noise. In dead silent rooms, the internal mic actually picks up a tiny bit of mechanical whirring from the center reel spinning. You can turn the motor off in settings, which fixes it, but kinda defeats the whole point of the device.
Erica Wallace
Way too expensive for what it is. It's a very pretty voice recorder. Does it record better than a $150 Tascam? Honestly, not really. You're paying a massive tax just for the cool design and the moving parts. Kept it, but my wallet hurts.
Kevin O'Leary
Battery drains fast if you use all 3 inputs. When I'm just doing basic voice memos, battery is fine. But running 3 channels at 96/24 with the wheel spinning ate through my battery in like 4 hours. Keep a power bank handy.
Gary Nichols
Where is my package?! 3 weeks and counting! Ordered this almost a month ago for a documentary shoot. Tracking has been stuck on "in transit" for 14 days. The shoot is over now so I had to rent gear locally. Absolute joke of a shipping process.
Melinda Cross
Paid for expedited shipping, took 18 days. Do not trust the delivery estimate on the product page!! It said 3-5 business days, ended up taking nearly three weeks to get to Chicago. Box showed up beat to hell too, thankfully the unit inside was okay.
brett_h99
Stuck in customs forever. Terrible logistics. Nobody told me this was shipping from overseas with the slowest courier known to man. Sat in a warehouse in New Jersey for two weeks with zero updates. Customer service just told me to "be patient."
Stephanie Meyer
Missed my husband's birthday because of slow shipping. Ordered 2 weeks in advance thinking that was plenty of time. Nope. Arrived 5 days after his birthday. For a product at this price point, using snail mail is unacceptable.
Victor Dominguez
Worst delivery experience I've had this year. Carrier marked it as "delayed" four separate times. Took 22 days to arrive in California. Cool little recorder, 5-star product, but giving 1 star because the fulfillment and shipping speed is atrocious.
Paulina K.
Still waiting... horrible shipping times. Literally could have walked to the warehouse and picked it up faster. Two and a half weeks just to get a tracking number that actually moves. If you need this for an upcoming project, buy it somewhere else.
Ross Geller
Snail mail for a luxury item?? You charge premium prices and then ship it via the cheapest, slowest method possible. Took over 3 weeks to reach Texas, and tracking didn't update for 10 days straight—I legit thought it was lost. Ridiculous.
