Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This device is great for most recordings, but it cannot be used to replace recording equipment. The sd card it comes with is rather small, so purchase a bigger one (at least 2 gb) since memory is now so cheap, i put in a new 8gb card (for $10) and it ... Read More

Sound quality is detailed, clear and resonant. Pretty durable also. There's a toggle switch on the side that allows you to limit loud things from blowing out the quality.

The simplicity and portability make recording performances in which i am performing so much less awkward and distracting. I record for my own learning purposes, and sometimes to make very rough demo's. For the most part, the recordings are clean and i... Read More

The sound is clean and precise and it is diffidently one of the best devices on the market. It's easier to use and much less bulky than the h4n. They now have a more recent, updated version which is more expensive and doesn't come with the accessories... Read More

This mic is simply amazing. The recording quality is comparable to a condenser mic in the $400 - $600 price range. Microphone is sensitive, quality is good.

Cons

The audio drifts out of sync with recorded video. Playbacks are only possible through earphones, and recording is clunky and awkward. On top of that, the playback of what did survive has a lot of static. Set the volume full-tilt, re-recorded and used ... Read More

The membrane keys are not very sensitive, and often it takes several tries to make them work. If you are a serious user you will be pushing them thousands of times. Even when the device is plugged in, it has to have new batteries to work.

In the photos it looks like this is rugged aluminum, but it is actually cheap metal colored. Seems a little fragile, made out of plastic. But the tiny screen is impossible to read outdoors when the sun is shining.

Price

The price is also very fair compared to other units out there with more bells and whistles

Interesting piece of equipment but cost me more than i expected

Shipping

The best portable recorder for an excellent price shipping was extremely fast and awesome package care

Competitiveness

It does have a microphone input too so you can attach a lavalier or directional mic i suppose

If i used mp3 it would be something like 50 hours but transferring files to a pc is as easy as taking from a flashdrive so why ... Read More

You record to an sd card and then it’s easliy transferable to a computer
