Excellent recording capabilities
I needed a board that could both play and record, and this fits the bill perfectly. The Ogg Vorbis encoding is a nice touch for saving space on the SD card. Very happy with this purchase.

Reliable and robust
Used this in a museum exhibit prototype that runs 8 hours a day. It has not crashed once in three weeks. The line-out output is clean and requires minimal external filtering.

Great value, minor documentation gaps
The hardware is solid and decoding is fast. I had to dig into the datasheet for some specific SPI timing details, but once configured, it plays MP3s without skipping. Highly recommend for prototyping.

Best VS1053 board I've tried
I have tested several clones, but this one has the most stable power regulation. No audible noise when the SD card is writing data. Definitely worth the slight price difference.

Perfect for embedded audio projects
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino Mega. The recording quality via the onboard mic is surprisingly clear for a development board. Setup was straightforward using the provided library examples.

Good for learning DSP concepts
As a student, this board helped me understand how audio decoding works at a low level. The only downside is that the header pins were not pre-soldered, so be prepared to do some soldering.
Q: Does this board support 3.3V logic levels directly?
A: Yes, the VS1053 chip operates at 3.3V, but the board includes level shifters making it safe to connect directly to 5V microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno.
Q: Does it come with a microSD card?
A: No, the module does not include a microSD card. You will need to provide your own card formatted in FAT32 to store audio files or recordings.
Q: Is an external amplifier required for speakers?
A: The board has a headphone jack suitable for high-impedance headphones or line-in inputs. If you want to drive loudspeakers directly, you will need an external amplifier module.
Q: What is the maximum sample rate for recording?
A: The module supports recording sample rates up to 48kHz in WAV format. For Ogg Vorbis, typical rates range from 8kHz to 44.1kHz depending on your bitrate settings.
Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi?
A: Absolutely. You can interface with the Raspberry Pi using the SPI pins. There are several Python libraries available online specifically for controlling the VS1053 on Raspbian.
