Review: Great value for money - I work as a journalist and have two of these recorders - one as a main and the other as a just in case. They are excellent little recorders, uncomplicated to set up and really easy to carry around. There are a couple of inaccuracies in the product description I need to point out. 1. The machine can record in mp3 or WAV to higher than CD quality (not limited to just mp3) 2. The product description mentions a max SD card capacity of 32 gigs but I have double that on my backup machine at the moment and 128 gigs on the main device. I like it allows you to add a tone at the start of new recordings for easy editing later. Dimensions - it fits in the palm of your hand. The mikes have a plastic cage around them for protection. It has a tripod screw that allows mounting on a camera or tripod. Very versatile little device and my 'go-to' when on the move.
Review: Excellent Portable Recorder for High-Quality Ambient Sound Capture - I recently purchased the Zoom H1n Handy Recorder and have been extremely pleased with its performance. This portable recorder stands out for its user-friendly design, featuring simple instructions and an intuitive interface that allows for quick and easy setup right out of the box. Its ease of use makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced users looking to capture high-quality audio recordings without fuss. The H1n proves to be a versatile piece of equipment, perfectly suited for a variety of recording needs. I bought it specifically to record ambient noise, and it has exceeded my expectations in this regard. The sound quality is impressive, capturing the nuances of the environment with clarity and depth that add a professional touch to my projects. One of the most appreciated aspects of this recorder is its portability. Its compact size makes it convenient to carry around, ensuring I never miss an opportunity to capture the sounds around me. Whether I'm in a bustling city or a tranquil natural setting, the H1n is always ready to go. However, if there's one area for improvement, it would be the inclusion of a built-in rechargeable battery. While the current battery setup is functional, a rechargeable option would enhance the convenience and sustainability of the device, making it even more appealing for long recording sessions or fieldwork. In summary, the Zoom H1n Handy Recorder is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to record high-quality audio with ease. Its simplicity, versatility, and exceptional sound quality make it a valuable tool for capturing ambient sounds or any audio recording needs. With the addition of a built-in rechargeable battery in future models, it could become unbeatable in its category.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, cheap way to record high quality audio
*by A***R on 30 December 2023*

Simply, inexpensive way to be able to record things at a high quality. I use for band practice, sound effect recording, lessons, all sorts of different things. I also use it as a real-time microphone for streaming or plugged into my video camera as a shotgun attached to SMALLRIG Microphone Shock Mount. Battery life doesn't seem that great and it seems to drain more than I would have liked when not in use considering that there is a physical switch for turning it on (so you wouldn't expect battery life to be draining away with it monitoring a soft switch waiting to be powered on). The UI is now quite dated and it's awkward to remember what you're supposed to press to do certain things as the display is so small but that's because the device is nice and small. You can't rename sound clips on the Zoom. Speaker is terrible but it's enough to check that something was recorded. Best way to use it is just press start and stop to do your recording and work out what you recorded later when you connect it to the computer (or use the micro SD Card).
