There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I also found a website that had sound file samples of several digital recorders, among them the Zoom H2, H4, the Edirol, a couple of Sonys and some other brands. One of the Sony models sounded noticeably better than the rest, but then that one cost $1,850 (so I suppose it should sound noticeably better). The other Sony, which cost nearly $500, was 2nd best but nowhere near as good as its more expensive sibling. After that, the others differed based on the type of music and speech that had been recorded, but overall the H2 held its own and was also the least expensive of the group. It sounded at least as good as the other non-Sony models. So I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon.
So far I have only recorded a few things but I am very pleased with its performance. Sound quality is quite good. There are enough menu options to tailor for most circumstances without becoming too confusing or complex. The menu is also very easy to use. Some have complained about the keys being small on the recorder but then what do you expect? Something this small has to have small keys but unless you have really fat fingers or are terribly uncoordinated, you should have no problem whatsoever using this unit.
I recorded a taiko drum performance from close range that was pretty loud. I used the "concert" limiter setting on the recording menu and got a pretty good recording that had only a little distortion here and there. Piano comes out sounding pretty natural on this unit. You do need to fiddle around with the various volume and recording settings to find what is optimal, though.
Build quality is fine - I have no complaints. It comes with a 512MB SD card but I bought a 2GB card. Transferring files is best done by using a separate card reader. If you transfer directly from the recorder to a computer using a USB cable, it takes a looonnnggg time. Like 16 minutes for 2 .wav files that totaled about 1.3 GB.
If you are looking for something to make professional recordings, this is not your answer but it is not intended to be. If you are looking for something that makes very decent-quality recordings and has a versatile range of features, this is one to consider. The manual that comes with it is clearly written and easy to understand, and it comes with everything you need to get started except for batteries. I also like the size - small and unobtrusive. This is a nice little gadget.
It does even more than record! You can do quite a few things to the files once you have recorded them. If you record something and it doesn't sound loud enough because you didn't set the levels correctly - you can normalize it in the recorder. I've done this several times and it works very well. Also, you can record in a .wav file and then convert it to any compression of MP3 right in the device - you don't need to use any other software to convert the .wav to an MP3. I really like that feature, you can even save it as an MP3 at several different compressions and then see which sounds best and is the best size to send in the e-mail. This evening I recorded myself playing on the piano and singing Happy Birthday to our daughter-in-law and got it sent to her in the e-mail. It is really enjoyable to be able to do this.
It is cheaply made of plastic but the price is so low for what this recorder does - that really doesn't matter. The door for the SD card is very fragile and you must be careful when you open and close it. I like to take the SD card out and stick it in the computer card reader to transfer the files and listen to them. You can rename the files on your computer and when you put the card back in the recorder it reads the new names just fine. You can also rename the files right in the recorder.
All in all, I'm very happy with this recorder. Even though I have no previous experience working with recording equipment, I've been able to make some great sounding recordings that I've been able to send to family and friends in the e-mail.

Consomme pas mal les piles, pensez à prendre un chargeur secteur au cas ou ou des accus.
It has capabilities away beyond what I need, but I am more than satisfied with what I use it for.
I was delighted to open the box and find not a 500GB card as advertised but a 1GB card. This was along with the 4GB card that I ordered with it. 1GB is more than enough for me recording at a high bit rate. I was also really pleased to see how well supplied it is with kit - a stand, an adaptor for a microphone stand, a windshield and a variety of cables.
PROS
- Records in WAV or MP3, in a variety of levels of compression.
- Connects straight to the computer for downloading, or you can eject the SD card and plug into a card reader. Almost instanteous download (compared to my old minidisc)
- Comes with 1 GB and 4GB card - plenty of room for recording
- Built in mics are very good. On several occasions I have forgotten to take my lapel mic and have had to use the built in mics. Great sound quality and pickup.
- You can switch between the built in mics - either front or rear facing or both
- It has several different levels of automatic gain - ideal for spoken word and instruments
- You can set it up for a plug in mic that needs power supplied (great for my small lapel mic)
- Simple two presses of a button to record, or one if you set up the sound activated autorecord function (which in turn is fully customisable)
- Can also be used as a mic for your computer via a usb cable
CONS
- You have to charge the batteries separately
- I don't think the onboard sound compression is as good as my Mac software - either iTunes or SoundStudio. So I record at a high bitrate and then use either of the others to convert to a smaller bit rate.
- My biggest gripe is that there is no 'Lock' button to guard against accidental key presses while you record - not usually a problem, unless, like me you are sticking the device in your pocket.
Simple to use, incredibly versatile, so much thought has been put into this. Even with my 'cons' I still give it 5 stars, since 4.5 isnt available and 4 doesnt do it justice.
ich verwende das Gerät auf mehrere Arten:
- zur Digitalisierung alter LP's und MC's (wißt Ihr noch, was das ist? ;-) ) per Line-In
Die Daten sind im Nero WAV Editor einfach zu schneiden - und dann eigentlich schon fertig zum Brennen auf CD.
- zur Nachvertonung von Videoaufnahmen - der H2 ist z.B. direkt vor der Bühne auf einem Mikrofon-Stativ plaziert (und wird lange vor der Aufführung eingeschaltet und dann schlicht laufen gelassen), Videografieren erfolgt unauffällig von hinten. Den Ton der Videoaufnahme ersetze ich zT dann durch den Ton des H2 - der des H2 ist in vielen Fällen haushoch überlegen.
- zu Probeaufnahmen meiner musikalischen Familie (schnelle Kontrolle von Zusammenspiel etc.)
- für eigene Musik-CD's, mit Musik (Klavier, Hausmusik, Hornquartett...) meiner Familie und deren Freunden. Die Qualität ist für Normalsterbliche (sogar ohne weitere Bearbeitung am Computer) absolut ausreichend.
zT verwende ich ein externes Mikrophon am H2, zT nur den H2 alleine - was da besser ist, hängt von den Umständen ab, das probiert man am besten vorher aus. Der Kopfhörerausgang/Line-out erlaubt einem, das vor Ort schnell zu testen (also: Kopfhörer mitnehmen!).
Das Ergebnis wird - je nach Einstellung als MP3 oder WAV Datei - auf der SD Karte im H2 gespeichert, und ist damit sofort auf den Computer übertragbar. Sehr praktisch!
Sogar meine ansonsten tws. Technik-skeptische Familie hat den Zoom H2 deshalb mittlerweile ins Herz geschlossen.
Fazit: 100% Kaufempfehlung! Qualtität und Vielseitigkeit 1A!

Besides all that it's a USB microphone too - connect it to your PC/Mac, choose 'audio interface' on the front panel, and it feeds straight into your editing app for video voiceovers etc (I use it to record audiobook chapters). You can even use it as a converter for an analogue mic, bypassing the poor-quality analogue inputs found on most laptops.
The sound quality, of microphones and encoded MP3s, is superb. The only significant downsides are the primitive user interface - a tiny mono LCD like a 1970s digital watch and nasty 'blister' buttons - and a tendency to go through batteries fairly quickly, but you soon learn to power from the mains for long sessions and it's worth putting up with the interface for the sheer quality of what it delivers. You get a good kit of accessories too, including a wind shield, a handle (screws into the tripod thread) for hand-holding or mounting on a mic stand, a table stand, a mains adaptor and a decent manual. Mine, from Amazon, also came with a 4GB SD card (as well as the standard 1GB), mini-tripod (not much use) and silicon cover.
The H2 is likeable in the way a Henry vacuum cleaner is - the design is functional (and plasticky) rather than stylish, but the bits that matter are quality, and the results are excellent. If you've got any need to make high-quality audio recordings, this will probably do the job. Highly recommended.
