The items contained in this accessory pack are nearly essential for any owner of a Zoom H2n. There are so many useful accessories that are included. You really can't go wrong.

Very nice little recorder. I had a bit of trouble with the multi function "play" button - very touchy but better as I became more familiar with it. . Sound quality is good. Easy interface for editing and making copies.

Initially when first purchased the directions did NOT tell you that the tiny insert in the package was to be put in the card before inserting it into the recorder. We almost took it back because of this. I find it very difficult to operate and understand. I cannot get any sound from my folder where I recorded something. When I select folder and then play it goes to another menu.My husband was able to get sound from it but it was extremely low even raising it to the highest level on the sound. It's too frustrating to find out how to make it work.

Everything works great, and makes recording much easier. Makes everything sound better with less white noise. You get what you pay for.

I bought this to document live music of my bands and jam sessions that I attend. The versatility of this package is well worth the price. I am an engineer that buys a lot of tech, and the stuff that works, makes me more productive and is useful is what I am always on the lookout for. This units creates useful recordings.
I never write reviews, but this is a great product. Don't expect to see these in use to record symphonies, but for documentation of live folk music it is damn useful and surprisingly good.

I like it a lot. I have made several recordings of me playing the Lowrey Organ. I used both the Mike and then tried a direct recording from the Organ. Both instances I was very happy with the results. The 2gb scandisk that came with t was DOA however. Used the one from my camera and it worked fine. I have a 32G disk en route Via Amazon.

I love this mic, but I also had to buy the Zoom APH2n Accessory Pack because I wanted the handle, the little tripod, and the pop filter. Both items are worth getting. The mic is amazing!!! Super High quality, able to record on card (also came with mic), and can record to computer, so it is also a USB mic. (For the usb mic function you must buy the USB cable (comes with the Zoom APH2n Accessory Pack). If you want a mic to record on flash storage get this mic!!!!

I just opened up my third H2n recorder to see if THIS ONE works! No way. I could not select the specific tracks to play back and the files would not load onto my computer. So much for the H2N for me. I am disgusted. I've been waiting for weeks to try and find one that works because I do like the sound that the microphones capture.

I'd give this recorder 5 stars if there was a way to have only the front mic active like on the Zoom H2. Most of the features are better than the Zoom H2, with the exception of mic choice. It's a pain to be recording and not be able to look at the display screen.

Amazing, crisp, reproduction of sound. Evidently, this recorder incorporates the most advanced technology, made affordable at a most reasonable price.
What I appreciate the most is the total control by the user; when editing as well as during recording.
I have been using for years the previous model. It continues to be as good as ever.

I'm just an average guy and in no way am I affiliated with zoom or any company promoting it. This is just a pure honest review from my experience. So, I've been using this little device for almost a month now. Believe me when I say "It's hard to find something negative to mention about this item". I'm a music sound engineer and my ears are tuned to recognize quality when I hear it. I needed a portable mic to use with my HD camcorder. Unfortunately, the camcorder does not have a mic input. (It was purchased about 3 years ago). So I purchased this device in hopes that it could bring a professional sound to my HD footage.
I've delt with microphones that had annoying cords and they are a pain in the butt to deal with and position when shooting video. This portable mic is truely amazing. It can capture audio directional (from one angle) or omni-directional (from any direction in the room. The quality is GREAT. You can set the compressor and limiter settings which will be processed on the fly while recording. That means you really don't have to dump your recorded file into a audio editing program to process for compression.
I could truly go on for hours talking about all the features, but there listed right here on the site for you to read. This thing fits in the palm of your hand and can pick up pretty much any sound you can hear with your ears in professional detail. I'm use to using big name brand mics like Rode, Neumann and manly. So, I was a little unsure about a 'Zoom' product. I've never used anything that was made by zoom until now. I have no regrets and will purchase a second if I find the need. Let me make one suggestion if I may. I highly recommend the accessory kit (an additional purchase) if you have the extra money to spend. I have found myself needing and using everything in the accessory pack. I'm sure you will too.

This is a powerfull piece of equipment. This recoder can do it all and I think it is amazing concidering its compact size. I use this to record a high school bands concerts and performances, indoor and out, and I gotta say you can hear everything. This takes the place of the mic on my camera. The only draw back is, you will catch every noise around you, even if there is someone talking anywhere around you. Don't get me wrong, when you put your headphones on and listen to the play back, it's like you are there again. Get the accessory pack, you are going to need this as well.

I love this recorder. It's already been very helpful for my songwriting and even makes me sound like I can sing! Once you read the manual and play with it, it's remarkably good. At first I was thrown by the poor sound quality of the playback in the room, but that's only a preview. it doesn't correlate with the unbelievable sound quality when you listen with earbuds, on a stereo, or on a computer,

Be sure and get the bundled H2N with the accessories. The remote control and extension wire made this unit complete. I like to set the levels and raise the mic up high on a mic stand and use the remote to start and stop the recording. ZOOM put together a very nice product. I am a not a pro by any means, but it is very easy to use and the results I got are great.

Like many accessory packages that are offered for products, this one has a few items one will definitely use, some items one might use, and some items one likely won't use. The thing is though, the usefulness, or lack thereof, will vary from person to person. If purchased separately, the useful items cost about what the package does, so one is just as well off purchasing the package and getting the added items.
For me, the most useful item was the carry case. It is well made and well fitted to the H2n. I ordered the H2n and accessory pack together. The H2n went into the case as soon as I opened everything. It is a semi-rigid case, more than a cloth bag but not quite an Otterbox.
The next most useful item is the windscreen. This one is sized and designed for the H2n. For example, the windscreen cavity is sized to fit over the microphones and there are relief cuts on the side of the windscreen to access the control buttons on the H2n.
The tripod can serve multiple uses with not only the H2n but small cameras, etc.
The remote could come in handy, however given the memory capacity it may be better just to start recording and leave it record to the end. That way, one would not risk forgetting to start recording again after stopping.
The extension cord seems of limited usefulness. The recorder needs to be near the sound source. How often would someone be so far removed from the recorder and sound source that an extension cord to the remote is needed?
The USB cord is just like the half dozen or so I already have. Although, with the added cords, one can leave one at a workstation, put one in a computer case, put one in the camera bag, etc. Likewise, the AC adapter will likely see service for items other than the H2n.
Least useful to me is the mic clip adapter only because I don't have a mic clip to adapt to.
As I mentioned, the utility of the items will vary by each person's workflow. For me, I run the recorder on batteries and stay in close proximity to it while recording. Other folks may need AC power and remote control. This package can it all.

I would have given this 5 stars just for the features, ease of use, and bang for the buck, but I took it down one star due to apparent quality assurance problems with Zoom.
I received my H2n, unboxed it, installed the SD card and batteries and did a quick recording test with it as just about everyone who has ever purchased this recorder would do. I played back the recording using the built-in speaker and heard a large amount of hiss and crackling in the recording! Suspecting an issue with the built-in speaker, I plugged in my headphones and heard the same thing. Suspecting the playback circuitry, I offloaded the WAV file to a computer and played it - same problem. I then closely examined the recording level meters while in a quiet room. The left channel was registering something at about -35dB and the right channel was registering something at about -25 to -30dB! I monitored the recorder with headphones and heard the "cooking bacon" sound clearly in both channels, but more loudly in the right channel. I made several test recordings using different SD cards, different mic arrays, and different file formats (WAV, mp3). This confirmed that one or more of the microphones within the unit was producing a significant amount of noise. Slowly changing the orientation of the H2n (vertical, horizontal, rotating it) while monitoring the input would occasionally result in the noise stopping. Recordings made in this "window" of correct operation were the excellent, clean, clear results that other reviewers talk about.
It seems this unit slipped by quality assurance at Samson (company that makes the Zoom recorders) and has marginal or defective components for one or more of the built-in mics. Unfortunately, when I tried to arrange a replacement through Amazon, they were out of stock! Had to just setup a return and purchase the H2n from a different source. I suggest that anyone who purchases an H2n carefully test the unit using all mic patterns in case they have the same failure as the one I received.

Have used this to record concerts, from the LA colliseum, to local dive bars & it does very well under a variety of circumstances. I use M/S (mid/side) raw @ 96/24 & am able to dial in some great sounds.
Hint: turn the input to zero (0), when recording concerts & loud bands. I also have the concert limiter settin on, but I don't think it ever has to kick in. More of a safety net...

This recorder, however, seems to be perfect for someone like me, who is relatively new to certain technology. It is, thus far, "idiot proof", which makes me feel better about owning it! I am always afraid to break something that I am unfamiliar with and this little recorder is self explanatory!

I'd like to know where to get the Optional Accessory Pack (APH-2n). Also, I want to get more than 2GB memory card. My daughter allowed me to record a song with my autoharp (requested by a church prayer group) on hers. It turned out quite acceptably. I only have cassette capabilities for recording so I checked on getting one like hers. I believe hers is a tad larger, though. By the way, I just celebrated my 80th b'day.

Oh my this sound is GREAT! For most of your podcasts, you'll want mono, so set the little top mic setting for xy or MS (mid side-- stereo plus cardioid), and you'll get the best cadioid pickup for the buck anywhere. This unit is specifically designed for field work, conferences, concerts, interviews, etc. and the recorder syncs flawlessly with both Audacity and Sony sound forge.
Use xy for single interviews or group q and a, and 2 channel (premixed) for bigger conferences. Most podcasts are in mono, so even xy/ cardioid is a little overkill, the quality is so good on this. Be sure to set the hold feature, which disables everything but mic gain during recording so you don't accidentally push something! A mic gain at 5 to 6 works perfects for conferences, workshops and one on one interviews. I've only tried this for a few concerts, and they came out excellent, but I'd guess journalism and interviews are the primary niche for this little gem. One caveat: if you pick 4 channel (concerts), it will NOT premix-- you'll see all four in Audacity or Forge, a good thing if you know what you're doing!
You can even combine MS with a separate mic, using two to four of the onboard mics with your own condenser to capture both the room or audience and your interview! Plug in headphones (NOT noise cancelling) to listen in real time to "what you hear/ what you get."
Cons, it's a battery eater if you use it extensively (advertised at 20 hours, more like 12-- GET the A/C adapter!), an investment in rechargeable batteries would also be good. There are also dedicated MS (Midside) mics, which work to pick up more ambient sound, premixed in the recorder, than XY (cardioid/ stereo) alone, but for interviews xy works a little better than MS, unless you mix out the side features in favor of cardioid in the final MP3. The "ideal" podcast mic picks up a little reverb, albeit at lower volume from the side and back, along with the direct, front facing "stem of the apple" cardioid voices. MS can be a good option if you're in that controlled a setting.
Biggest Surprise, for its size, it really does music well, although I bought it mostly for voice podcasting. Easily formats right out of the recorder for mp3 (converts it's native WAV to Mp3, although you can also do that with your software in post if you prefer), and loads into Audacity with no sweat. Thumbs up if you're looking for a field unit for web journalism, interviews, classes you'll rebroadcast, etc.
Remember one thing: the quality of the mic also is limited by the quality of your sound card, and if you're using a laptop, you might want an intermediate mixer/ recorder rather than replacing your card. See our listmania podcast list for lots of these bells and whistles!

I have to preface this by saying, this is my second Zoom H2next in the last week... I did all the usual "D.D." on this one before I bought it and was very excited when I got it home the first time to use it and give it a test run! The first H2n unit worked fine for about an hour - then it started acting up on me - I noticed a "clicking sound" in one channel during recording on X/Y mode, not MS only X/Y. Weird. I reset unit, tried new batteries, a new SD card, everything and still "Click, Click, Click" on one side. Very frustrating... I notified Amazon immediately, got a return lable etc. Boxed it back up and shipped it back. I immediately ordered a new one... ONLY because I had heard so many good things about this little unit and I know how electronic devices can go out - I just got the second Zoom H2n in today and am running it through the same paces as before - this H2n unit is working flawlessly. The first one did too - for a short while.. this one, so far so good. I have to say - the H2n really does an excellent job of capturing true and natural sound. I set it up and recorded myself on guitar singing a song from about 10-12 feet away and it picked up every nuance of my guitar and voice. I tranferred the wave file to my pc via USB (very easy to do, and fast!) then ran the sound through Sony Sound Forge(Audio Studio) and tweaked it just a tad *(added a little reverb and used the iZotope Audio Enhancer on the track just to beef it up a bit) and WOW! played it through my M-Audio studio monitors and the sound is awesome! I have several plans for this little Zoom H2n gizmo, mostly live recordings of myself, my choir and our church services, but I am sure I will think of some other uses for it later on down the road. Write now, I give it five stars, because it is just that good! - I will get back with this review in a few months and we'll see if it is still working well!

Have=ing previously owed the h4 and been happy with it, I was wary of buying the h2n due to so many reviews about problems with the unit functioning as expected especially in regards to recording time. But I found that it seems many of the people not getting the expected performance out of the recorder must not have read the manual carefully and not opted to use a larger card than the small one included. Reading the manual specifies expected running times as I find the unit conforms to these when you correctly set the rec quality for the said results. Easy to use. Sturdier build than the old h4. Very satisfied. I haven't had need to use the remote and the tripod is cheap and fell apart on 2nd use but all of the other accessories seem fine for my use.

but using it to record my ramblings sure made me feel like a pro. I especially like the reporter like look and the ease and simplicity of use. So far I have only used it for self recordings but plan to interview others this summer.

I bought my Zoom H2n here at Amazon just two weeks ago and already I love it. I am totally inexperienced in recording and cannot discuss technical details or how it compares to other mics or recording devices. I am a strictly amateur guitarist who has long wanted to record my playing so my kids (and someday grandkids, I hope) will have it to keep. In the past I had tried doing this with the skinny little mic that came packaged with my Dell computer (now 8 years old) and Magix software. The hiss was absolutely horrible and the depth of tone was also miserable, even after applying some of the filters and so on. The Zoom was recommended to me by a professional filmmaker two years ago, but I was hesitant. Then another guitarist said he had heard good things, too, so I finally bought one.
Wow! I read through the manual once and then started recording. I set it on an end table, played into it, and then transfered the files to my computer through the USB port (cable not included, but the one I use for my GPS unit worked) and edited them with the Wave Lab 7 software that comes bundled with the product. It was so easy I couldn't believe it. I found I could just delete the flubbed parts with a keystroke. The audio quality was so much better than what I had ever experienced with my old mic I was floored. I've already posted several videos on YouTube of my playing and they're getting some looks and likes. I won't put links here because Amazon doesn't allow self-promotion or self-identification in their reviews, which I think is a good policy.
The Wave Lab 7 software says it requires Windows 7, but I installed it on my old Win XP computer with no problem (it comes on a DVD, not a CD, so be warned if you don't have the right drive). I like the software a lot, but I think Magix or Audacity will probably work as well for you.
For voice, I also have some experience. I record textbooks for the blind and dyslexic as a volunteer activity (Learning Ally). We do that in professional quality sound booths with boom mics. The sound quality there is outstanding as you would expect. When I hear my voice played back on those I think I sound pretty good. With the small computer mic at home I sound horrible -- hoarse, higher-pitched. With the Zoom I have that same fullness, a deeper voice timbre as I do at Learning Ally.

I've used several different digital recorders and this one is top notch. For being a small, handheld recording device, this little recorder has incredible sound. It is extremely easy to use. It has some very nice recording features. It has different mic pickups and omni directional options. It has an external speaker for easy playback. I highly recommend this recorder. It's incredible.

We purchased three Zoom Recorders for my office, but they did not come with the case or the USB adapter, so we purchased three of these accessory packs. The price is good for everything you receive. The case is a hard case, so I can just throw the recorder into my briefcase and it is well-protected. The USB adapter is great for those long days of recording.

Easy to use, great recording quality, outstanding automatic gain adjustment, 16 GB SD card very useful.
Software that came with it wasn't great, but other free, online software options are easy to use with it.

Great item. BUT the threading for the tripod is very weak and cracks easily. I had it for 6 weeks and it cracked. I called the company and they say warranty doesn't cover physical damage, so good luck

This is a great kit with many useful parts.
The remote control (with extension) makes it easy to start/stop the recorder without adding the 'handling noise' when recording. Saves me time when editing multiple recordings.
The wind screen doesn't kill all wind noise, but cuts it back substantially. A better screen or 'dead kitten' cover may be necessary in windy outdoor conditions, but light breeze and air noise from moving around indoors is cut.
The case is great, but does not fit the unit well with the windscreen attached - carrying the windscreen around separately is a drag. It has a nice detachable carry strap, though, which is nice. I also wish there were an elastic pocket inside for holding an extra memory card or the remote.
The mic stand piece is great for holding the recorder on a typical microphone stand, and can be used for simple holding of the recorder without touching it. (reduces handling noise a bit, too)
The mini tripod is pretty cheap, and the legs cannot extend far enough to support the recorder if the ball head is angled very steeply. I think I can maybe get 10 or 15 degrees pitch in any given direction, but beyond that, the tripod will tip over. It comes in handy for vertical orientation now and then, but is largely useless otherwise.
The power supply comes in handy, but most of us have these USB cables & adapters in spades at home already.
Personally, I would rather have paid less and eliminated the tripod and USB cable + power adapter, but I've used them once-or-twice, so ... eh. The primary parts of this kit are great, though, so they make it worth the price.

I bought this to record my voice lessons and it's amazing! The sound is so clear and the setting to adjust the microphone frequency works great when I start singing extremely high!

I must say that after using the H2n for an indie movie I'm putting together, I really love using this Zoom device. Great, crisp quality audio and easy to use.
I'd recommend using Duracell batteries in your Zoom device, as speaking to other people who regularly use sound devices for a living, they say that Duracell batteries increase the quality of recording a fraction more.
I attach my Zoom device on the end of a monopod and use it as a boom pole. Then using the front directional recorders I just tilt the front of the Zoom H2n downward above actors or twist it either way to pick up dialogue between 2 actors talking together. When you buy a boom pole your H2n should just fit right on it. Take your H2n into the store just to check first. You can also use the monopod as a steady cam and do other neat stuff with your video camera mounted on it.
10 out of 10. Love it.
