Con
Can not be conveniently used for live sets
since the tascam does not work over usb, it can only transfer sound through the line out, which for some reason has a much higher noise floor than the final recording which is stored on the micro sd card.

Pro
Overdubbing
The Tascam DR-05 can overdub files with a new one while playing the old one back. This permits great on the spot rapid multi voice performances.

Con
No protector over USB plug
Although you are probably not planning to role your Tascam in sand and mud any time soon, it is strange that the micro sd card has a rubber protector, but the usb plug does not. This could cause dirt, lint, or water to drop in it and cause problems.

Great sound quality and low noise floor.
The tascam DR-05 has very clear and crisp sound (even from the integrated microphones). It can record in MP3 and in 24-bit/96Khz WAV files.

Con
Single track only
This device does not support recording many tracks at once (multiple mics for example).
See More
Top
Con
No XLR/TRS inputs, or phantom power.
The only way to add a microphone on the DR-05, is to use a mic that can work directly on a mini headphone jack (plug-in power (most small lapel mics for example)), or use a self powered mic that can connect in a mini headphone jack input.
