Pros

Recorded talking video to sd card for video shot with my dslr camera, then sync’ed in di vinci resolve. It captures the full brilliance of my instrument.

It seems most devices are micro-usb these days which is flatter so i ordered a 5 ft mini-usb for docking it to my macbook pro. I only wish it was wifi.

I wish zoom would modernize their user interface and put more easily-changeable controls at your fingertips. The interface is like traveling back in time to era of dot-matrix printers and trying to learn windows.

It sounds fantastic. Easy to use. I'm 63, so this stuff blows my mind.



Cons

It's one of my pet peeves, vendors who send you products that are unusable out of the box. Not a professional product. In addition, why layout $145.

Can only be used to record in mono and stereo mode only. Built-inmicrophone does not provide sufficient sound clarity.

Quality


The sound quality is great, it's easy to use, has a solid and quality feel, is very portable, and is easy to use.

Even after reading good reviews on sound quality, i was shocked at how good the sound is.


Otherwise, i need to hire a zoom expert before i do every interview -- someone who can deal with the complicated settings while...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Why something that simple wasn't included on the h4n, i'll never know.


I read a user's complaint that the plastic on the h4n was sticky but the pro version has a normal non stick matt plastic.

Competitiveness


Used alone, the zoom h4n mics give a pretty crisp sound.


So now, i'm using an h4n pro customized high gloss finish.
