Fantastic value here!! I have put it straight to use in my online learning, power-point lectures. And I will be utilizing it this coming weekend for a low-budget critics show on youtube, and we already shot the promo and it sounded great!! At $160, while still getting the quality that Zoom offers, you can't beat it.

Was able to get up and running immediately without looking at doc because of the various Youtube tutorials. Made a recording and posted it on Soundcloud within hours of opening box. Most of that time was spent getting my music piece up to snuff.

The uses I have for this device--recording one-on-one conversations are probably as well handled by less sophisticated machines but, now that I'm learning how to make use of some of the more subtle features, I'm beginning to be glad I made this choice.

I committed to traveling from Dallas to Chicago to see a live performance of my favorite singer who -- at the time -- hadn't performed live in the U.S. this year.
I wanted to record the performance and looked at several options. I chose the Zoom H2n Handy Recorder because it seemed the most idiot proof.
On the flight up, I reviewed the manual. There are several settings, but it suggested the one with two side mics and one forward-facing mic would be best for live concerts.
You can manually adjust the microphone gain or record in RAW and adjust later. But I opted for the automatic option that lets the recorder to the work because I have no expertise. Plus, I thought the post-production editing might be time-consuming.
At the show, the music didn't sound quite right to me. It seemed like a speaker was blown or, at times, the keyboardist was doing something that wasn't pleasant to my ear.
I was about twenty rows back, in the center of the audience. There were 10K-15K people in attendance and I forgot to use the windscreen. So I wasn't expecting much.
When I listened to the recording, it was excellent. At least to my ear.
Give it a listen yourself.
It is the audio track on these two YT videos.

This was the debut of one song and the other is new too, so I was very pleased the recording did them justice.

X-Y and Mid-side recording in one box? Option to mix RAW M-S files in post? Brilliant! Set this thing on a dinner table for surround sound and roll camera!
Bought it, did some tests and alas, there's not enough clean gain. I had to crank the thing all the way up to 10 to get a decent level of a normal conversation 4 feet away. The resulting noise floor was unacceptable. I wouldn't even rate it at prosumer level.
I also tested the external mic input against their little H1 handy recorder and the H1 wins. I guess they skimped on the external input because this things' focus is on surround. I'm sending it back.
This is a great idea--there's nothing quite like it out there--that got cheaped down for the consumer market. "Great idea, Akhiro, let's slap together some cheap parts and sell it for $150. We make fortune."
If they put some better mics and pre-amps in there I'd pay double easily or maybe even triple.

I am very happy with this. Controls are easy to use and battery life is excellent. As usual with Zoom, recording quality is excellent. Can also be used to record an external source as well as a mic source at the same time, as two distinct files. I wish it had XLR inputs but you can't have everything for $150. :)

I was glad I purchased this kit because it contains elements (such as the USB cable) that you must have to download the recored material to a computer. Most of the other stuff is nice but not essential.

Sounds great 100Hz and up, but does a poor job below that. Recorded a couple live shows that had chest thumping bass with the mic in the sweet spot, but mid and low bass was absent in the recording. Vocals sounded great.

I needed something easy to use to record rehearsals for playback. I had a Zoom console multi-track that was capable of doing a good job but you had to be an engineer to use it .... I'm not and I didn't! I've been using my iPhone 4s which is better than nothing but won't pick up the bass well at all and sounds pretty cheesy overall.
I've used the H2n for a month now.and I can do everything I need to do now without having to go the manual. It's really not complicated and the quality is suitable for simple demo quality recordings.
I've recorded our bluegrass group's rehearsals using 2 channel surround mode and the quality really is amazing. I was concerned about getting a good balance but mounted on a mic stand in the center of the group circle it does great without paying a lot of attention to "working the mic". I raise it to about 7' high and the 3 part vocals and all instruments (including the upright bass and guitar breaks) pick up really well.
I've recorded myself solo, vocals and guitar, using XY stereo also with great results.
I've used it as a practice tool in a couple of ways. Recorded rhythm guitar to practice lead breaks with. Also copied a specific guitar piece I was trying to learn, slowed it down and looped it to play over and over and played along with it.
Pros: Easy to use, great live results, surround mode is great for recording acoustic groups "in the round". great battery life, attractive price.
Cons: Based on the price I really haven't found any major cons, yeah, the card slot cover is cheap but be careful with it and it'll be ok. Be aware that the built in playback speaker is equivalent to a cell phone speaker. You'll need headphones/earbuds or line out to a stereo to hear the real results. I have a cheap mini boombox that I plug it into for playback when phones aren't an option..
I bought the accessory pack for the mic clip adapter and remote. The case and mini tripod that came with it are nicer than I expected.

To preface this short review, I wanted to let you all know I'm a musician (Clarinet player). I've been using this microphone mostly to record rehearsals for my dress rehearsals for my Senior Music Education recital.
I've used it in practice rooms and a large recital hall and I've got to say, the sound quality is fantastic!
I have needed to bump up the gain to about 6 on it to get recordings of a good volume, but the quality has absolutely stunned me. I haven't heard it distort yet, which was a problem with every phone or tablet I used before for simple recordings.
It captures a very large range of frequencies very clearly and evenly, and accurately captures subtle timbral differences between different instruments.
I do need to mention that it isn't particularly easy to use for non tech-savvy people. Thankfully, it's simple enough for when you just want to record. You pull the switch on the right side down to turn it on and just press the big red record button up front.
I haven't played with the other features of it yet, or changed the recording mode (Switch up top).
I am still absolutely stunned at the sound quality of this microphone though. Easily worth the investment for every musician.

I upgraded from a H1 recorder and this is a big improvement.
Favorite features:
- rubber pads on the base
- multiple recording configs you can choose from
- recording button pushes down instead of in (so you can set it down and start recording without knocking it over)
- mic gain wheel

Didn't understand that this is only for the newer zoom (with an n at the end of its name). If I had the newer version, I'd probably love it.

Very pleased with this product. Bought this to record practice sessions (classical piano music). Even though I had little to no experience with recording devices, this one has simple learning curve, and I had it up and running with the proper settings enabled in no time at all. Recordings were clear and free of any major distortion.
One downside of this device is that under some settings the microphone can be too sensitive, leading to a lot of background noise, but I am sure that can be filtered out with some editing software.

I bought this for my journalism class so I could record interviews. It worked wonderfully the first few times I used it. However, after a month, the mechanism that holds the SD card slot in the recorder broke. Instead of clicking into place, it simply would bounce right back out. I tried using tape to hold the SD card in out of desperation, but all it did was keep the cover shut. The actual device wouldn't record anything. I would give it five stars if it hadn't malfunctioned so quickly.

It works. That's really all I can say about it from a user perspective. The pickups sound great, and offer four different patterns to work from. The unit sips battery life, and is ready to record in seconds after a month or more of sitting in my gear bag.
If I had one complaint about it, I would say the plastic design feels cheaper than it is. This is a quality product, but you wouldn't know that by feeling it in your hands.

Being a musician who in the 70's had made albums, and worked in studios, I was looking for a current method of recording myself live that gave as near a studio quality for an affordable price. My local music store owner turned me on to Zoom H2N. After a few weeks of investigation, I pulled the trigger on the H2N and it's accessories. I'm a solo keyboard act, with two Roland Keyboards (EO-9 and JV30), and female vocal on occasion. I was interested in direct out from the mixer, and later to mix on Majix Music Maker via computer. The H2n has worked perfect for me. It's easy to adjust, and the menu option is easy for an late 50's dude to maneuver. After set up, the recording process is a one touch button application. Very Cool! Highly recommended. I DO suggest buying the accessories for an extra 30 bucks. You will certainly use it. Great job Zoom!!

I love this thing.
I take it to almost all my practices, especially with new musical projects, it allows me to have a clean recording of our session, and then I'm able to share the audio with my band mates (via a computer of course).
I haven't used the "Line-In" feature as of yet, but that I have used the XS & 4Ch features, & they work GREAT!
The 4Ch feature allows you to record from both sides of the mic, and it would provide you with 2 separate WAV files, one for each side, that way when your mixing, you have the ability to mix each side on its own, its a very helpful feature.
One way I use it is by putting it between my and the other artist, that way it picks up my guitar & their vocals each in a separate channel, that way I can mix the guitar & vocals separately its like an Analog multi-recording setting! very neat.
Also I love that I'm able to connect it to the computer and record directly into it, that has been very helpful for quick multi-track sessions when more than 2 tracks are needed.
The quality of the sound is really good, and there are so many settings you can choose from, from limiters, to compressors. Highly recommended for musicians on the go.
Hope that was helpful.

I had the old silver Zoom and it recorded great but ate batteries and couldn't playback. Drunk people couldn't not figure out how to turn it on. This one fixes those issues, 20 hour battery life, holds bigger SD card, you can play back and it easy to hand to someone and say "hit this button" and it records. Mic gain is easier to control too. So far I recorded nature sounds, spoken word and loud bands and all the recordings were very good.
