The little stand that it comes with is handy indeed. I also find the functions to be fairly intuitive.The item does not feel quite as sturdy as the Edirol, but at the price, I believe it is outstanding value and good quality, with some features that the Edirol does not have.
My purpose is not to use this as a professional recording but to have it suitable as a recording tool for auditions etc. I own an Edirol but purchased 5 of these for a music department for the sole purpose of recording piano lessons and practice performances in a small concert hall.
It is extremely portable and presents a variety of formats for recording. for the students, and also for study purposes.
After 30 minutes or so of looking at the manual or so of setting it up, I used it in both situations (studio as well as hall) and found the results to be excellent, after a little experimentation with the recording levels. Fidelity of sound is good and not at all tinny.
It also came with a 1GB card, which was a pleasant surprise.
After receiving my second H2, I went right to work recording my band. Very satisfied with the H2 although the first one I received did not work properly. This thing is amazing; the quality is superb and easily downloadable to my mac. I called Amazon about the problem and they sent out a new one immediately. Good for you AMAZON; a company with real CUSTOMER SERVICE, Bravo. I then used Final Vinyl to edit and separate the tracks. I take it everywhere I go in order to grab that perfect sound effect or just to listen to songs stored on it.
select kbps of MP3 recording)-The device DOES work with SDHC cards: i.e. However, it works, so my beef is only aesthetics.-Would really help if this had a portable case to go with it.-Other reviewers mention the cheap plastic construction. This is a portable professional-level sound recorderHad this device for 2 months now.Pros:-Recording is studio-quality.-Ease of use, and straightforward menus. I would not have expected such high good earbuds included with device. To resolve this, just press pause, and fast forward - it's much faster that way.Overall: The best value, by far, out of all the different types of professional portable recorders. SD memory cards with capacity of 4GB and higher. This is not a decision factor when buying in my case.-Foam muff (windscreen) for the microphone is relatively cheap-looking.
Therefore, it is not as solid. Able to customize settings relatively easily (i.e. No, this device is certainly not made of metal. Manufacturer's website specifically mentions compatibility with certain cards over 16gb.-Space for 2 AA type batteries, which allows me to choose any battery type I prefer.-Standard mini USB for file transfer, which is great - no proprietory connectors to deal with.-Includes portable stand, foam windscreen, cables, earphones (ear-bud type), cables.-Quality of the earbuds is fantastic. These are definitely keepers, and I would love to know where I could get more like these.Cons:-Screen could be larger, but is certainly not too small. However, the plastic construction is, in fact, sturdy, although it may not be fully aesthetically pleasing.-When listening to a recording, fast-forwarding may be slow. Or at least the ones listed on Amazon.
I did have to read the instructions before I could transfer files to my Mac.Sound quality is fabulous.We manufacture outdoor musical instruments and need accurate sound files for our web site. Also I am a digital story teller and needed better quality voice -overs. This fits the bill for both.
This was exactly what I needed for recording rehearsals. The sound quality is awesome and it is extremely easy to transfer to computer and then burn to CD. Totally worth the price.
